About The Soulforge



Discover the early history of Raistlin Majere, one of Dragonlance’s most complicated yet beloved characters, in this prequel to the wildly popular Chronicles and Legends series



A mage’s soul is forged in the crucible of magic.



Raistlin Majere is six years old when he meets an archmage who enrolls him in a school for the study of magic. Weak and frail, and tormented by jealousy and inadequacy compared to his twin brother Caramon, the gifted boy begins to forge his wizarding skills. But shadows are darkening over Raistlin even as the same shadows lengthen over all of Ansalon.



As Raistlin’s wizarding apprenticeship draws nearer to the end, he must first take the Dread Test in the Tower of High Sorcery. It will change his life forever.



The Soulforge is the first of two novels in The Raistlin Chronicles series, followed by Brothers in Arms.

Intro



Welcome to another DragonLance Saga episode. It is Bakukal, Brookgreen the 18th, my name is Adam and today I am going to give you my Spoiler review of The Soulforge by Margaret Weis. I will be spoiling the story, so if you don’t want to know it, stop watching now! I would like to take a moment and thank the members of this YouTube channel, and invite you to consider becoming a member by visiting the link in the description below. You can even pick up Dragonlance gaming materials using my affiliate link. This is my perspective only, and if you have any thoughts or disagree with mine, I invite you to share them in YouTube chat.



Book One can be seen as an introduction to Antimodes, a white robe magician who travels the land and acts as a sort of information gatherer for the Orders of High Sorcery. He reports his findings to Par-Salien, the head of the Orders, and it is on one such journey where he enters Solace and meets Kitiara. She recognises him as a mage, and as he heads up to the Inn of the Last Home for Dinner, she decides to confront him during his dinner about being a mage. She tells him that she has a brother who is interested in magic and Kit asks Antimodes to talk him out of it. She runs off to find Raistlin much to Antimode’s consternation, and presents him. 



Antimodes is touched by his patron deity as he is talking to Raistlin, as one of his tasks is to identify would-be students in magic. He is taken in by Raistlin and even bothered slightly by his personality, but he and his god are certain that this is a potential mage, and he decides to pay for Raistlin's tutelage in Master Theobald’s sorcerer academy nearby. Antimodes sees the state of neglect in Raistlin and understands that Kit wants to leave her brothers but can’t until she is convinced they can take care of themselves.
