	To explain what happened next, you need to understand something: the Kingpriest's plan wasn't entirely his own idea. He was secretly being manipulated by a sect of elven bigots, who truly believed that their race being created by the Gods of Good at the dawn of creation meant that they were blessed above all else. These elves believed that through the Kingpriest, they could scourge the world of all the evil races - which basically amounted to "everything but elves and their human pawns". So, these crazy bitches ignored the whole "the world will burn in divine wrath" part of the story and instead resolved to stop Soth by whatever means possible.

	Doing so turned out to be disappointingly easy. Soth was many things, but he wasn't very bright. They spun him a bullshit story insinuating his wife had been cheating on him and that the baby wasn't his, and Soth immediately turned around and charged back home. He stormed into his wife's chambers, where his wife had given birth to his son not so long ago, and began accusing her of infidelity even as the Cataclysm hit the planet. Fire crashed down on his wife and she begged him to save their son... but Soth refused, still believing she had been unfaithful. With her dying breath, she cursed him and the gods took heed, devastating Dargaard Keep and turning Soth into a Death Knight and his men into Skeleton ~~Warriors (a beefier sort of Skeleton)~~.

	Soth first made his real mark on the world as part of the War of the Lance, when he allied himself with the Dragonlords of [[Takhisis]] at the behest of the Blue Lady, Kitiara. In reality, he had nothing but contempt for Takhisis; he followed Kitiara because he had fallen in lust with her and wanted her for himself. As a result, at the end of the War, he waited for her to perish in battle and then took her body before fleeing back to Dargaard Keep.

As a result, at the end of the War, he waited for her to perish in battle and then took her body before fleeing back to Dargaard Keep.

	Whilst he did this, he had his seneschal, Caradoc, condemned to eternity as a ghost, visit the Abyss to retrieve Kitiara's spirit. Unfortunately for them both, Caradoc tried to blackmail Soth into giving him payment for Kitiara's spirit; in the resultant rampage, the mists of [[Ravenloft]] reached out and swallowed them both, ultimately leading to Soth damning himself to a prison in the new domain of Sithicus. There, he ruled over a populace of tormented elves and [[kender]] vampires, but his home was a permanent ill-fit, and the banshees that followed him singing the story of how he was damned kept getting the details wrong until even he couldn't remember what happened. It doesn't ''sound'' like much but even in death he was still a man accustomed to rigid military order, and it actually drove him nuts.

Rather than rage impotently at a domain that tormented him, he sought solace in oblivion. He had multiple magic mirrors crafted that allowed him to dwell in magically shaped memory-worlds that were either close enough to the truth for his peace of mind, or pure wish-fulfillment. Being undead he could spend his entire time locked in such dream trances, completely ignoring whatever happened in Sithicus and relatively happy. In the end, though, a combination of an uprising instigated by his rivals, the intervention of his late wife's ghost effectively re-enacting the destruction of Dargaard Keep and the will of the Dark Powers (who were actually [[butthurt\|a bit miffed]] at him giving them the middle finger with his dream trance escaping his punishment) forced him out of his dream mirrors for good. And he accepted it. He accepted the punishment set before him, and accepted all the evil he had done. So the Dark Powers sent him back to Krynn.

We'll stick with the Hickmans' original vision for baseline.

			==The Tragic Backstory==
	Lord Soth was once a Knight of the Rose, the most prestigious rank of the Knights of Solamnia, until the day that he encountered [[ogre]]s trying to murder and/or rape a band of [[elf]] priestesses of [[Paladine]] in the forest. He slew the beasts and then rescued the elves, but tragedy struck; he and the youngest, most beautiful priestess fell in love and began having sex with each other. The problem was, Soth already had a wife back home. Consumed with lust, he sent a secret message to his seneschal, Caradoc, and had him murder Soth's wife so that Soth could secretly take the priestess as his wife.

	The Hickmans infamously were furious about Soth's stint in Ravenloft, as they have long hated the idea of "crossovers" and so despised the setting that had sprung up from their original Ravenloft modules. They have constantly tried to retcon Soth's trip out of canon in their novels, but thanks to the screwy way time works there, the Ravenloft writers were free to ignore it until they [[butthurt\|purposefully eradicated one of the most iconic villains in ''D&D'' through divine intervention]] so that no one else could ever have him. Despite this, in his [[Dragon Magazine]] "hall of fame" appearance, it is pointedly noted that Soth spent time damned to the [[Demiplane of Dread]] as the lord of Sithicus. Additionally, it is said that the current [[Darklord]] of Sithicus is at times tormented by visions of the redeemed ghost of Lord Soth.

	~~It bears mentioning that Soth's story has been retconned at different points over the years, usually to make him a lot more evil even before he cheated on and then murdered his first wife.~~
