May 03, 2005 14:37:34 I just finished reading Lord Soth and his seneschal was Caradoc, a human Knight of the Crown. Ok, no problem.

But I also seem to recall that Caradoc was the name of Soth's seneschal in the Ravenloft game world, except that Caradoc was a dwarf (and a werebadger at that!).

So my question is this, are there any other sources for Caradoc's origins and/or which one is correct?

I guess it is possible that the dwarven Caradoc was created when Soth when to Ravenloft as a mockery of sorts, but the Caradoc in Lord Soth became one of Soth's skeletal warriors. It's just that Lord Soth was very well researched and stuck to the official story very closely, making me think the author was given the official story and told to stick to it. But if the Ravenloft Caradoc came out first, why wasn't the Caradoc in Lord Soth at least a dwarf?

p.s. the novel turned out to be a great read. It had a slow start but once it got going I couldn't put it down - I finished it in a couple days.

As true Raistlin pointed out, Azrael was the dwarven were-badger that served as Soth's seneschal in Ravenloft's Sithicus (Nedragaard). Caradoc was still the sene-whatever up to and in "Knight of the Black Rose", but by the conclusion of that novel, Azrael took on that duty, and Caradoc is no more. The Azrael of Ravenloft is a totally different character, and one not originally from Krynn IIRC. Any similarities in name are coincidental.

And I agree, that novel was a good read.

Because Caradoc was also in RL for a time, as a ghost that Lord Soth was determined to kill for having - supposedly - betrayed him.

May 08, 2005 14:15:03 There was also the fact that at beginning of KNIGHT OF THE BLACK ROSE, Soth had sent Caradoc to the Abyss to get Kitiara's soul back...and for Caradoc taking the risk of venturing into the Abyss while the battle between Raistlin and Takhisis was still waging, and that Soth would somehow get Chemosh to turn Caradoc back into a mortal for doing so.
