--- Quote from: wizard nelson on June 29, 2015, 06:50:14 PM ---Ah thank you, I was starting to worry I'd imagined it or it wasn't actually in the DF it said that.The hourglass symbol I figured might have something to do with the eyes of the dark Magician Raistlin Majere., from dragon lance fame. One of if not the most famous fallen wizard type. figure it was a reference to the 'truth' of how he was corrupted. Jims a fan, but I can't remember the authers name atm.

Dragonlance was written by Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman. If I recall correctly, the gods had sort of made a joke regarding Rasitlin and his twin brother Caramon. They were supposed to have been one being, but split apart into two beings. Then during his magic trial, he faced off against the previosuly greatest magician in Krynn (Fistandantilus). And yes Rasitlin was bad-ass enough that he broke all rules. In the game, he was the only character that reached lvl 20 (the world had a cap on lvl 18). He would even have beaten the goddes Takhisis, but surrendered as it would have meant he would have ruled over a dead world.
