Writing :: Details are Dangerous

Oh, all right. I’ll admit one small detail about That Guy. He may be the descendent of the dead gyppa king. He happens to carry an heirloom that was lost at the same time as the last heir. Laiven, with all the knowledge of the elves behind her, thinks he is, in fact, the king’s descendent. Lochim, with all the knowledge of the gyppa behind him, is certain the king’s son died in the aftermath of the invasion.

The plot of the novel, quite obviously, is a Quest To See Who’s Right.

That Guy is never asked how he feels about all this. That Guy happens to be insanely loyal to the descendent of the invading king; he’d be horrified at the thought that he could be a claimant to the throne. He’d probably attempt to assassinate himself. Since he is That Guy, he’d assassinate the wrong guy.
