Because in book 1, we learnt (supposedly) about Thayne's family in the middle of the island and we might have thought by ourselves that they'd like to be informed of his <s>drinking problem</s>, err, <s>death following the innapropriate fondling of a rod</s>, err, pending resurrection. And maybe ask them for help.So basically, all the cool foreshadowing is lost if you do the right thing? I mean, I'm all for increasing replaying value, but what about sharing the background information among several VICTORIOUS path instead? It reminds me of Icon and Psyche, in <a href="https://www.enworld.org/threads/lets-play-bloodsword-book-3-5.711603/" target="_blank">the companion thread</a>, where their sad story will stay untold because we avoided obvious death traps.That's empowering. I'd even say, constantly snooping on Landor's inner dialogue.Yes! (honestly).He could focus a little on the story at hand to try and connect the dots, couldn't he? Also, I posit that Landor won the crown of the archmage tournament on Seagate Island several years in a row, when he opened his school and only had novices to challenge him. Landor was known to juggle crowns when he stopped that tournament.She might be descended, as in, be the daughter or granddaughter of elven royalty. If elves take 200 years to mature, the fall of the empire is 3 generations ago. She's as "removed" to the last queen of Tikandia as Prince George is from Elizabeth II. Unless my hypothesis on the dying out elves is confirmed. So that Wendel who sent us away in Freeton to look for our father's book actually had one of these books in his hut?Great forethinking. Also, he mentions wearers of the twin crowns. I am pretty sure this means that each crown is intended to be worn by a different person...Honestly, that sounds the best choice for a wizard. Except know-it-all <s>Hermione</s> Dalris told us to seek another route.I'd prefer to work on our DEX stat, in order to replicate our father's infamous crown-juggling skill so we can get the power of wearing both crown in quick succession, enough to trick the ritual.Oops, I mixed them.</blockquote>
