Potential future conflicts and problems in the rain wild chronicles] [spoilers]

[redchild]

The first will probably be Tarmans modifications. The kelsingra dragons seem to be able to ignore this. But will the various councils. Or even Tintaglia.

I too wonder whether Tarman experiences any conflicts with his being melded with another wizardwood cocoon.

Another potential problem is the possesion of kelsingra and the rest of the arable land. While the council obviously used the drgons as an excuse to find it. Will the dragons back up the expeditions claim and help them keep it

The last conflict that I can think of is the fate of the chacedean "merchants". Will they manage to get what they are looking for. Will they be arrested. I can think og some very intersting plotlines to end the conflict.

Also, will the news of Kelsingra's discovery bring in unwanted attention? Looters, maybe, or dragon hunters?

An obvious potential conflict would be alice and hest. She has no proof f his infidelity unless she ruins her friend [and hests close friends] reputations. Will she use an excuse that she cheated on him. Will he accept that. He does have his inheritence [and fortune] on the line.

I don't think Alise much cares anymore of her ties to Bingtown. And she does have proof of Hest's infidelity: Sedric. I am not sure that Sedric has detached himself from Bingtown as thoroughly as Alise, but I believe his loyalties lie with her much more than with Hest.

And, though not really a 'problem,' I'm interested in the river that supposedly leads to the source of the white acid water. It's not exactly a "problem," per se, but it is something ever present in the environment that is probably going to be addressed. On one hand, finding a way to eliminate the source of acid water may make journeys through the Rain Wilds much safer for both people and any future generations of migrating serpents. On the other, the acid waters are the main natural defense the Rain Wilds and Kelsingra have against invaders who do not have possession of a liveship.
