[Laurel]

trying to not just assume

Is somone going to post the most recent commune question/answers?

When someone does this - could they/or anyone also explain if we know why the dragon invaders keep putting up the bluestar's marks?? Is it more complex then just trying to link to a known evil even if they are not in reality linked?
Thanks

I thought I had posted the last few questions, but apparently, that is not the case. I can't do it now because I'm not at home, nor will I be until about midnight, so I'll probably post them tomorrow.

"When someone does this - could they/or anyone also explain if we know why the dragon invaders keep putting up the bluestar's marks?? Is it more complex then just trying to link to a known evil even if they are not in reality linked?"

I figured this out yesterday, but Liz has known for some time. The King is controlling the forces from the West in the quest to get all of the Spirit blades. (At least) one of these is beyond Quarion's Wall, but as the King, he can't just send forces up to attack the Bluestar for no reason, so he has to get the support of the people. How does he do this? Have the "Bluestar" attack various cities to rally public support.

There was another reason for this as well, but I can't remember it right now. Liz?

Are we going to tell people the con, or bid our time? I know telling anyone now would be tricky, but so could waiting...
What happens if the king gets/takes the bluestar's blade? Isn't that where his soul is or somethin'?

If what the King told you is true, then the blade the Bluestar possesses serves as his phylactery. From what you have gathered, a phylactery is the repository of the Lich's soul, and the ultimate source of his immortality.

You're not sure what the effect of the King having the blade would be on the Bluestar, if it would have any effect at all. However, it is thought that the only way to actually destroy the Lichlord is to destroy both his phylactery, and his corporeal body.

Nonetheless, the King's pursuit of other spiritblades would tend to indicate that he has a larger purpose in mind than simply destroying the Bluestar. The real question becomes if the falconblade's status as Aregonn Bluestar's phylactery is a coincidence, or if it is somehow intrinsic to what Tain et. al. are doing.

Worst Case Scenario

the king seeks the bluestar's Phylactery/Blade because it has the power to control him and thus unite the three greatest evils behind the king.

There was another reason for this as well, but I can't remember it right now.

Remember that the King may have an ulterior motive for getting the armies north of the wall. It's really not terribly likely that even several hundred thousand soldiers are going to succeed in defeating the Bluestar's forces, let alone acquiring a specific item that it more than likely hidden somewhere in a vast kingdom. In all likelihood, all those men and women are (un)dead by now. Those that are not (if any) have more than likely found themselves a new master. If the price of survival is loyalty, I doubt that many soldiers would find the price too high.

But, on the bright side, Archonus Bluestar might make some friends!
