Was he really nessesary to help restore dragons. Okay, I can understand that if the duchies lost the war icefyre wouldnt have been freed. But how much did he contribute to helping verity with the dragon. Okay, I guess he did allow kettles help. And he was stuck being forged when icefyre was freed. I guess he played a minor part with the duchies storyline. Maybe if it wasnt for him it wouldnt have happened. But I doubt it.
But the bingtown storyline was different.He was so focused on looking for wintrow yet nothing he said or did caused wintrow to make his contribution [freeing she who remembers]. He wasnt in trehaug and nothing he said or did would have changed any of those characters. He wasnt even a catylist. His doesnt have the power to cause change by his presence. He is nowhere near the kelsingra expedition. So he doesnt have any contribution to the dragons recovery. And if tintaglia was chopped into a log freeing icefyre would hae been a complete waste of time. So the bingtown storyline does seem to be the more important one in relation to dragons.
That said his contribution to the story seems slightly exagerated. Maybe his efforts helped icfyre. But there are about nine other potential mates recovering in the rain wilds. Rendering his efforts to help icefyre a bit of a waste of time.
