I was speaking of the TM series plot. Tawny Man was mostly driven by Dutiful's Wit and arranged marriage.
You might as well say that the Farseer trilogy was about Verity and Kettricken and Chade. While some people would say it was, they were just passing characters, as are Dutiful and Nettle. Are they important? Extremely. But when I think of the RotE story as a whole... I think of the overall plot. The beating heart of the story and why it was written, and that's the fact a scrawny White Prophet came forth to change the course of the future with his Catalyst. Everything that happens in the first 9 books is directly related to that.
As much as I love the details... I try to never lose sight of that simple fact.
