Ravenloft/Awesome

• Although it has since become Canon Discontinuity with more recent Dragonlance books, one of the most awesome things in Ravenloft is still Lord Soth. In the Ravenloft tie-in novel Knight of the Black Rose, he is highly displeased to find himself taken from Krynn and dumped in a strange, misty land. Soth expresses this displeasure violently, to the point where Ravenloft starts to resemble Tokyo with Lord Soth playing the title role in a Godzilla movie.
  • Strahd von Zarovich, after reneging on his end of a business deal with Soth, starts out the scene smugly confident that Soth will never penetrate his magical defenses and make it into his castle. By the end of the scene he is frantically begging Soth to please, please go away and not kill him, here, I'll tell you where the escape from Ravenloft is. (Strahd is of course lying, but at this point he's so beaten down that sending Soth off on a wild goose chase is his only hope of survival. This is one of the two most powerful Darklords in Ravenloft.)
  • Not to mention the part where a portal guardian in service to the Dark Powers demands Lord Soth's soul, and he insultingly informs her that if she wants his soul, she'll first have to 1) Go to Krynn 2) Go to Hell (well, the Abyss) and 3) Convince Chemosh, the Krynnish god of the undead, to fork it over(which still wouldn't get her the soul because his soul is bound to the armor he wears). The guardian thinks that one over a bit and just lets Soth go on his way.
