philia-fan.livejournal.comI've been musing on this one for a while.
Three countries -- Eddis, Sounis, Attolia. Three rulers. Three advisors with unusual roles, all of them scholars to some extent. Eddis has her Thief, Attolia has her secretary of the archives, Sounis has his magus. It's always been clear that these three countries need to unite, and that the rulers are antagonistic to one another. But wait. In The Thief, Eugenides and the magus become friends. In KoA, Eugenides and Relius make a connection, and Relius begins to consider opening a correspondence with the magus. Okay, admittedly Eugenides is King at this point and not an advisor, but isn't it nice to see the hint of a three-way, behind-the-scenes alliance? A back-door approach to peace, perhaps?
