Someone let it slip that Ranma Saotome had been blessed that any child he had would be healthy, strong, and attractive. Qilue hadn't thought it mattered at the time, proving that drow elf high priestesses could be human too.
However, the Keep Of Konidor was located in a difficult to get to place. Not to mention that Konidor himself was a positively ancient archmage who'd forgotten more about magic than most mages knew (of course he'd also forgotten quite a lot of other things on other subjects besides magic) and didn't like groups of visitors all coming at the same time.
Konidor The Forgetful (aka Konidor the Senile, Konidor the Craftsmage, Konidor of the Mythal, Konidor the Not-so-much-gray-as-a-sort-of-off-white, MISTER Konidor, Konidor the Enchanter, or Rodinok The Unlikely) was the one who was the master of the Keep who was supposed to take care of Ranma.
As it was, Ranma took care of Konidor The Forgetful far more often. Not that Konidor required a whole lot of maintenance, because he was an archlich who had a good heart. He kept it in a jar in a shelf on his library - but he had one.
The Keep was movable, though he'd never gotten the enchantment quite right and it was one of the many things he'd never quite gotten around to fixing. Most of the time it was in the Anauroch where it had a lovely view of a place called the "High Ice". On occasion he'd send Ranma out to get some ice for this or that experiment.
Sometimes the Keep would be elsewhere, but mainly he kept it in the same place. For one thing it would be terribly embarassing if he misplaced his Keep. Be a devil of a time replacing it you know. Besides, there wasn't anyone in this part of the Anauroch to levy taxes or do any other fool thing like that and it CERTAINLY cut down on the salespeople beating on your door to sell you some silliness like alluvial sliding or some such.
Despite all this, someone *cough*Qilue*cough* let it slip that Ranma Saotome of Konidor's Keep had a powerful enchantment that would make him prime mating material when he grew up. Also that he was exceedingly cute for a human.
It wasn't long before one of the people who heard that rumor also visited the Keep. What an AMAZING coincidence that there happened to be a daughter along who would coincidently be of the same age (biologically speaking) as Ranma when he got to be marriageable age. It must be fate. Or a love goddess with way too much time on her hands, as Konidor remarked.
Naturally Ranma quickly found a friend, who Konidor thought had no appreciable resistance to Ranma's current aura-of-cute.
In this case it was:
