As Raistlin and Caramon were returning home from the Tower of Wayreth, they stopped at the Wayward Inn for a night. While there, Raist, who was still very frail and unhealthy, met a woman who intrigued him. She was beautiful, in an otherworldly sense. He was surprised when she suddenly pushed him away, and ran into her room.
The girl, Amberyl, was an Irda, the legendary race of ogres who had left Krynn many years before. She was travelling through Krynn at the behest of the Elders, and was surprised to find that the Valin (soul-mate principle) had attached her to a human. She and Raistlin would be forever linked together, unless she bore his child.
Well. Needless to say, Raist was very skeptical when she tracked him down in the Forest of Wayreth, after he and Caramon left the Inn, to tell him this, not to mention quite shocked. However, with Raistlin having the normal mindset of a 21 year old man, it didn't take too much seduction on Amberyl's part to get him have sex with her. She left early in the morning, and took a job at the Wayward Inn until she had the baby.
Amberyl died in childbirth, and two of her fellow Irdas came to collect the baby (she contacted them once she realized that she was dying). Everyone was surprised to note that the child had golden eyes.
Note: This version of the story is from the short story "Raistlin's Daughter", in Weis and Hickman's The Second Generation. I did not make it up. Also, remember that this is a legend, nothing more. Raistlin himself claims that this never happened. In fact, he laughed when he heard the story. So don't believe everything you read, okay?
