Time of the Twins:
It has been two years since the defeat of the Dark
Queen, and all is not well. Raistlin Majere devises a plan to go
back in time and learn from the greatest mage ever,
Fistandantilus... and then replace him. Upon learning this,Crysania of
the House of Tarinius in Palanthas takes it as her mission to take Raistlin back from the
dark side.Tasslehof,as usual gets himself involved and as well,an alcoholic,fat Caramon.
By the help of Par-Salian,Head of the Conclave of wizards,and head of the White Robes,
the three travel back in time to months before the
Catycism in search of Raistlin to stop him and to also save someone's
soul.....Not necessarily Raistlin's.They arrive too late,however, with
Tasslehoff and Caramon being sent to the slave arena.
There is another problem... and that is his real objective.
He plans to not only be the most powerful mage, but
replace the Dark Queen herself and become a God. But
there is also a very strange twist of fate, Crystania has
fallen in love with Raistlin and will do anything to bring him back to the side of the light.
On the other
side of Istar, after a few months of training Caramon is forced back into shape, but a little
too late. Raistlin's
plans are coming to a close and the Cataclysm is only days away. At the day of the
Catyclysm,
Caramon and Tasslehoff escape from the slave arena to find Crysania. They find her in a
mad fit to
find Raistlin as Caramon now realizes that he must kill his brother.Just as Caramon poses
to thrust his sword into Raistlin,and just before the firey mountain strikes Krynn,Raistlin
transports them all into another time.Except Tasslehoff.........
War of the Twins:
It is now 100 years after the Cataclysm, there are no true
clerics left on Krynn, the Knights of Solomnia are
persecuted... and this is where Crysania, Raistlin, and
Caramon have appeared,inside The Tower of High Sorcery in
Palanthas,where Raistlin will reign supreme in Future years.However,the three have
appeared before the tower gaurdians expected.Only by making Raistlin remember his
hellacious battle with Fistandantilus do they see that he is the Rightful owner of the tower
and the three begin to reconnoiter. This is where Raistlin finds a
'kink" in his plans.The Portal that he needs to use to reach the abyss
has moved itself from the
Tower of High Sorcery to the magical Fortress of Zhaman,many
miles
away near Pax Tharkas and Thorbardin. Now, they must travel there
to complete Raistlin's
evil scheme. There is another grave problem, Tasslehoff
has been sent to the Abyss... but is fortunately not dead.
It is here that he meets the Dark Queen herself, and is
fear struck beyond comprehension. But with help from
the magic scepter and Gnimish the Gnome do they
escape the Abyss. Gnimish is a special Gnome though,
because his inventions actually work! While Tass is working all this, the trio are trudging
along
Ansalon amassing a small army,eventually called "The Army of Fistandantilus". They
have been attracted to claims of raiding Thorbardin for its
treasures and wealth. It is also a sanction for many Knights of Solomnia. After many
months of
planning, traveling, and training; one of the greatest armies ever to be amassed is close to
its target.
The Hill Dwarves as well as the Plainsmen soon join them in a bitter alliance. The army's
first
objective: Pax Tharkas. After an easy victory, thanks to the Dewar or Dark Dwarves, the
army
plans their attack upon Thorbardin. While continuing their travels onward, their two more
problems... there is not enough supplies and a sneak attack upon Crysania, Caramon, and
Raistlin. The surprise:
a party of mountain dwarves,led by the Dwarven Hero Kharas, are able to meet their
objective, mortally wounding Raistlin. This is where
the ever loved Kender and Gnome appear, right when Raistlin and co. are attacked,which
causes enough distraction to Mortally wound Raistlin.Before he can get two
words out,Tas is taken prisoner by the mountain dwarves. He is imprisoned with the
Dewar and gets
all his pouches stolen!Crysania,in order to save Raistlin from Death, begs Paladine to
save Raistlin,and her prayer is answered,much to Raistlin's dismay.Back
at the dwarven dungeons, Tas is about to use the time travelling device given to him by
Par-Salian when Raistlin appears. With his help they escape but
without Gnimish... who dies by Raistlin's hand.However,by staying in those filthy
dungeons,Tas has catches the plague,
but is soon cured by Crysania. But a small battalion of mountain dwarves launches an
attack on the
fortress and Caramon is injured in the battle and is saved by Tasslehoff. The two then go
to the
portal to confront Raistlin and Crysania opening the portal. The finally agree to go their
separate
ways. Caramon activates the magic scepter while the portal spell is complete. The two
magics
throw each other off and Raistlin and Crysania just barely live while Caramon and
Tasslehoff are
whirled away.
Test of the Twins:
Raistlin has succeeded in traveling to the Abyss with
Crysania and he now faces the worst demons.He is fully
vunerable to the scrutiny of the Dark Queen. He is
taken back to his childhood, and is ridiculed and
tormented by old childhood bullies... and Caramon is not
protecting him like before. Caramon and Tas at this time
have been transported back to Solace, but two years into
the future. At first they don't recognize it, but they soon
find the remains of the town. The whole world has been
destroyed as violent storms have swept the lands. There
is also a new constellation in the sky, an hourglass,
which proves that Raistlin succeeded in defeating the
Queen of Darkness. And he witnesses Raistlin's victory
over every other god, as he becomes ruler over a dead
world. In a final hope, the duo travels to the Tower of
High Sorcery in Wayreth only to find Par-Salian and Astinus. Par-Salian is being tortured
by Raistlin
as Astinus is writing the final book of Krynn. But he is stopped by Caramon as the two
travel back
to the present to change the future and stop Raistlin. Back in the Abyss, Raistlin and
Crysania are
submitted to a mock trial. All his "friends" are part of the trial; with Tanis as Judge, Flint
as Bailiff ,
and Tass as their lawyer. It is here that Raistlin learns that he still does have his magic, it
was just in
his mind that he believed that he didn't have the magic. But he realizes this after Crysania
has been burned at the stake. He now leaves her to die
alone, for he is done with her. Caramon by now has traveled to Palanthas to stop the
surprise attack of Kitiara and the Flying Citadel. It is written in the book that Tanis dies
by Lord Soth's hand,
but with help from Tas, both Fireflash and Tanis are saved. They now venture to
Raistlin's
Tower but the only entrance is cursed. With the help of the magic scepter and Fireflash,
the trio
travels onto the Flying Citadel to leap onto the Tower. After hard battling, Tas and a
Gully Dwarf are
able to secure the controls of the Citadel and fly it over to the Tower. Caramon and Tanis
leap onto
the Tower right as Kitiara pays Dalamar a visit. Kitiara plans to kill Dalamar and greet
her
half-brother with open arms. After a bitter fight, both are thrown to the floor in pain.
Tanis and
Caramon arrive and change history once again. The dagger that would kill Dalamar from
Kitiara's hand hits Tanis' armor and falls harmlessly on the floor,she is then soon taken
away by Lord Soth,hwo wanted Kitiara all along. Caramon then enters the portal to face
his
brother. When he has arrived, Raistlin has already faced the Queen's worst and now she
must face
him. But Caramon also finds Crysania still alive, but he knows he doesn't have enough
time to save
her and the world. He meets with his brother, as Raistlin sees he will succeed but only to
rule a
dead world. In a last spark of love, he sends Caramon and Crysania through the portal to
hold off
the Queen. The two emerge and with the power of Raistlin staff the portal is closed. Life
is now
restored as Crysania is healed but is permanently blind, Caramon returns home, and Tas
has his fun
with his Flying Citadel.
