Raistlin I was the co-ruler of the Kingdom of Cardia and a prominent member of the Grand Alliance who lived in the First Age. He defeated Jemuel in the Cardian War and discovered the floating continent of Alent. He was also responsible for the First Banishment of Yurius and the death of Sydney Losstarot. He abdicated the thrones of Cardia and Alent in his later years in order to search for the Descendants of Losstarot to prevent Yurius's dark prophecy. Raistlin was eventually slain by one such descendant named Rhys Lain while trying to arrest him, but his legacy would live on through Rhys's work and his eventual successor, Raistlin II.
