I need help again!!!

Ok, Gen is part of the royal family of Eddis, right? Is it on his mother's side or his father's side (or both)? I just can't remember if the Thieves were related to the sovereigns or what.

Wow another fic?

Ok I believe that Gen is Helen's cousin on the father's side. MoW was the brother of the past Eddis (according to what I gathered from the Thief short story).

I think you should check with the other Sounisians just in case, or the Thief short story.

I think he's related on both sides. I think. Don't quote me on that, because my books are at my dad's, so I can't check and make sure. I would be slightly surprised if he weren't related on both sides, given the small population of Eddis, and the fact that royals like to marry their cousins.

Gen's father is Helen's uncle, and after Gen wallops Teleus at the end of KoA he says something along these lines (pardon the paraphrase): "Like every man, I had two grandfathers. One of mine was Eddis."

So I conclude from this that Gen's father and Helen's father (who preceded her as sovereign and therefore was most likely the son of the king before that) were brothers.

I'm not sure if Gen's mother was part of the royal family at all before her marriage. If she wasn't, that might explain why so many of Gen's uncles and cousins and so on seem to disdain her -- I think there was something at the end of TT about Gen's relatives suddenly deciding he was something like his father after all.

On the other hand, a lot of the court of Eddis seems to be interrelated, so Gen's mother may have been connected somewhere, too!

Have you guys ever discussed who could be the Thief of Eddis before? I mean, we all know...
A. If you successfully stole Hamiathes' Gift and your chosen candidate was crowned Eddis(/Eddia?) and you are still alive to tell the tale, you are the Thief of Eddis. (For a female ruler, you would be thee Thief of Eddia, right?)

B. If your mother/father was the Thief, and no one has restolen the Gift, after he/she dies, you or one of your siblings may become Thief.

So, the title is hereditary and anyone(who has stolen the Gift) can be the Thief.(prettymuch)

If Gen's mother was going to be the next Thief, how come one of his sisters can't be? Is it something to do with Gen being the Thief?

Give me more time and I'll think up more questions and facts... If one of you wants to make a post with this, go ahead! (I won't be around for the next week so feel free)

Don't have my book, so not sure, but I think Gen said that his mom was called "Queen Thief" because she stole so many hearts,not Queen's Thief. She wasn't next in line to be Thief. Can anyone corroborate that?
