One of my favorite characters for the Dragonlance campaign setting was Raistlin. What are his whereabouts in the new setting?

I remember seeing the name Majere in the deity section of the DL CS. Is he a god now?

He's dead.

Majere has always been a god. He was one of those that Paladine called to his service. He's a lawful good deity of monks.
Majere is also a spice.

Raistlin died a while ago. He used to show up now and again despite this, but now he's finally moved on. Both Raistlin and Caramon's last name Majere comes from the name of a deity. The deity Majere predated them by... well the beginning of time. Majere is a scholastic deity, a "Monkish" deity, concerned with introspection self betterment.

I think you might mean Marjorum is a spice, though Majere might also be one.

Rasitlin's been debateably dead for a long time, but he keeps managing to pop up occasionally so it wouldn't be all together difficult to bring him back if you so desired in your campaign.

Riastlin's last saighting-in which he went into the afterlife with his old comrades was in the book Dragons of a Vanished Moon .

In War of the Twins, Raist and Caramon are talking about spices around a cookfire. A spice they used to use for rabbit stew was called majere.

yeah, if you keep reading that scene, you'll see that caramon says the spice sounded like their name, and raist says "the name of the spice is marjoram"

and Gilon took his last name from the diety.

Then it might've just been wrong in the Finnish translation.

Is the name of the spice really all that important?
