Hobb described how each book has a story plot and conclusion as does each trilogy. Tawny Man's plot was driven by Dutiful's Wit and his arranged marriage. EVERYTHING moved to that beat while revolving around Fitz's point of view. The timeline and supporting history and events of Liveships served to fill in gaps of information coincidentally as much as intentionally as described by Hobb. Fitz wasn't in Liveships and that trilogy was written with a different approach seeing experiences from several character's perspectives instead of one main character. Yet the three were part of one large story arc looking at them from one level, an elevated level that allows one to see all of each trilogy in their entirety.
I never disagreed.. but I still say that the entire series is, ultimately, about the White Prophet and his course/journey to changing the fate of the world. Even in Liveship Traders (especially in LST).
