Ah, well, though I will amend the thread title to include Blood of Dragons spoiler tags shortly, I will still stick my comments behind spoiler tags for now, seeing as quite a few here are still yet to read BoD.

So, Selden *did* escape but not through the pillars/Portal Stones and neither did a rescue party arrive through them....though a rescue party of one did prove vital! P As expected, Chassim did prove to be an Elderling ally. Clapping I liked Chassim very much. *nods* Yes, I did.

The results so far have shown that a mix of both war and diplomacy have been pathways to promoting a firm peace with Chalced (as answer to our War with Chalced thread which I may make comment in at a later time), and hopefully a peace that will put a stop to the old adage that there is always 'war with Chalced'. I am looking forward to possibly finding out more of the Chalcedian story. There are still many, many questions to be answered (from the past and present!) about that dodgey duchy and its inhabitants, and much to do to bring it back into accord with the rest of the realm.

I must admit to having been a a little Uhhuh Blink Ouch Down during the moment when I realised that the Throne Room was likely trashed beyond recognition by the dragons, and the evidence of Elderling/Skilled Ones and the downed Portal Stones in Chalced possibly lost forever. Hopefully they will resurface during a likely rebuild and may even be erected once more?
There is just *so much* story still to be told..

...and, 'thul, as I have said oft times before P , there is *every* reason for Fitz to come back into the fray, and it has nothing to do with merely satisfying fans. Joker

Why would he need to be torn away from Molly to jump back into the action? He isn't being torn away from Molly at present, even in spite of the fact that he remains, as ever, in loyal service to the throne and the Farseers at the end of Tawny Man. He is summoned and travels to Buckkeep often from Withywoods.

Also, Molly is not the Molly of old. She now knows much of the truth of Fitz and his role, and has likely been able to reorder her thinking that was for so long attached to her old hurts. Hurt they still will, but the truth itself will be a salve to them and it may help her understand many of his past actions. Her daughter (Nettle) and son (Steady) are presently also in service to the Farseers....so why not still her now-husband Fitz? For extra company, during his trips back to Buckkeep if she does not go back there each time to visit with Steady or Nettle, Molly always has Patience.

Of course, Molly could always die. Though she is only slightly older than Fitz, maybe she would choose not to benefit from a possible Skill-healing or somesuch? Maybe she could be taken by the Blood Plague and this would then offer it an opportunity to return to the storyline so that the reasons for it could be explored? It has certainly featured quite heavily in the lives of some characters (the Vestrits, Davad Restart, Burrich etc). While not everything in the plot has to be supernatural, the Blood Plague, for me, is more than just your everyday plague. There is something nefarious about it methinks...and it possibly links with likely nefarious happenings that left the Duke of Chalced's Throne Room in such a downed state.
