[QUOTE="The_Universe, post: 1654503, member: 8944"] Good thoughts, but the evidence would seem to suggest that Tain could have been King without making the deal that he has obviously made with someone or something--he was/is a legitimate heir to the throne, with enough access to muscle within the kingdom that he didn't need to bring in any of *these* baddies to make that a reality. However, the deal has apparently accorded him a little more power, and a slightly different mindset, as merely ruling the known world is apparently not enough. His motivation has got to be something *more* than being King...he had already ruled for seven years before the first draconids reared its ugly head. Whatever he's doing has to be something *more*....something that will not only motivate the man that was Tain, but also the person/thing he made a deal with, and thus motivate the man he has *become.* But Mik's analysis certainly doesn't have anything wrong with it.
