Foreshadowing?
Sep. 6th, 2006 11:42 amThere is a passage near the end of Queen of Attolia where Eddis and Attolia are having their heart to heart chat, and it comes to light Attolia is named "Irene", meaning Peace, and Eddis is "Helen", the beautiful woman the Trojan War was fought over. They laugh at how inappropriately named they are.
Given the comments in KoA, about how Gen could be torn between conflicting loyalties to Eddis and Attolia, and Costis between Gen and Irene, do you think the passage from QoA is actually foreshadowing a war over Eddis, with peace through Attolia?
