Discussion Kitiara was the last of the original three characters created by Tracy and Laura Hickman as they traveled to TSR for an interview. This was before Dragonlance was the name of the campaign world, but the two game designers knew they wanted this new project to convey the idea of balance between good, neutrality and evil. Laurana, named after Laura Hickman, was that pillar of good, Tanis was the pillar of neutrality and Kitiara was the pillar of evil. I have always struggled with the idea of evil, especially when applied to Kit. She is only acting in her own self interest, and thus, I cannot see Kit seeing herself as evil. Kitiara believes, as her father did, that “Power is the only truth.” There is nothing inherently evil in this belief, it’s how you exercise the power that defines good or ill. The framing of this dichotomy that Power exercised is evil, only muddies the pillar itself. This is further contextualized by the authors framing her evil actions through the following of Takhisis and by becoming a Dragon Highlord. But again, this is only evil if we are to believe the actions of Takhisis’ armies are evil and the actions of the Whitestone armies are good. But can there be good and evil when both sides are enslaving, slaughtering, and ultimately destroying innocence. This thought exercise is meant to frame the idea that I don’t believe Kit saw herself as good or evil at all, only the authors did. And it is because of their framing that any of us do. Kitiara was a character that defied every norm. She was a skilled female warrior, a rarity in post Cataclysm Ansalon. She was cunning and steadfast in her control of her emotions, something most male warriors struggled with. She stood up to Lord Ariakas, Lord Soth, and won the respect of the Dark Queen, her armies and her mount, so much so that after her death, Lord Soth and Khellendros would scour the planes of existence in search of her soul. She used men, as men traditionally used women. She was one to celebrate the indulgences of life but never at the expense of her own greater goals. She was also capable of compassion and love, even if she refused to acknowledge it outwardly, and this is seen in her care for her brothers as a young woman. Let's take a look at her history and see if we can understand the character any better. Kitiara was the daughter of Gregor Uth Matar and Rosamun Aelan. Her father, a disgraced Solamnic Knight turned mercenary, would teach her to fight, and even took her with him, becoming impressed with her skill on one occasion. Gregor would tire of Rosamun, and eventually leave her. Rosamun would then marry Gilon Majere and they would have their twin sons Raistlin and Caramon. Kit would take care of Raistlin, seeing he was weak and the midwife gave up on him, she took it upon herself to care for him. She even named him from an old story of her fathers! When Raistlin was accepted to Theobald’s Mage Academy, Kit would leave for long periods, engaging in mercenary work as her father had before her. She would periodically return with gifts and to catch up with family and friend. It was here that she met Tanis as she was toying with some hobgoblins. Tanic came in and ‘rescued’ her, to Tanis’ dismay as she turned her attacks on him! They would learn to respect and love each other, finding their opposite natures attractive. Kit was not one to stay in one place too long however, and when the companions split in search of the old gods, Tanis broke off his relationship with Kit, who left heading north with Sturm Brightblade. Kitiara was growing frustrated with Sturm's self righteousness and still angry with Tanis, she decided to seduce Sturm...
