I agree that some of Wilhelm's colleagues and subordinates might not have been the best people, but that wasn't entirely in Wilhelm's control. Maido was appointed by the council or perhaps inherited his position from his father. Wilhelm did appoint some excellent people to high positions as well, such as Eldus. As for Meldorath, I think he was originally a good choice for his position, but I suspect he was corrupted shortly before his retirement.Higher25 wrote: ↑07 Oct 2020, 23:18 King Wilhelm from my point of view was doing whatever was within his power to keep the country peaceful and progressive. However, it was those whom he has ordained to cater for certain positions that led to his downfall. Meldorath was a problem of a different calibre. Maido was selfish and most of the others just enjoyed th3 positions without working.

I agree that Wilhelm was right to imprison Meldorath since Meldorath was torturing some of the people of Hillport. I do think Wilhelm was wrong, however, when he did not give Meldorath a trial and kept his existence a secret.Zinda Lukman wrote: ↑07 Oct 2020, 23:39 King Wilhelm is a good king, and wishes good for his people. This is why he imprisons Meldoreth because he is a big threat to his people. I think he is right to imprison him.

I agree. It seems like Maido is trying to convince Darius to rebel against Wilhelm or perhaps Wilhelm's choice of a successor. After the disaster at Hillport, Wilhelm's reign might be coming to a swift end.Aisha_123 wrote: ↑08 Oct 2020, 03:55I don't believe it would be Meldorath that will spoil his plans but someone much more closer to him.luchi123 wrote: ↑07 Oct 2020, 09:01 King Wilhelm seemed like a good king to me too. He only had some bad people around him which he tried to discipline, like Meldorath. I do not know if he had a hidden agenda for Voulhire. However, even if he did, I can be sure that Meldorath would spoil his plans out of vengeance or selfish motives

I agree. Maido also wiped out the good Wilhelm had done by appointing Eldus when he allowed Hillport to be taken and didn't sent a warning because he wanted to make Wilhelm look bad.Ediomis_Enwongo01 wrote: ↑09 Oct 2020, 15:38 I think King Wilhelm had good intentions for Voulhire. For the most part, those good intentions were overwhelmed by people around him like Lord Meldorath.

You are right. His intentions for Voulhire are always good. But people like Meldorath and Maido are a big threat to these good intentions.Ediomis_Enwongo01 wrote: ↑09 Oct 2020, 15:38 I think King Wilhelm had good intentions for Voulhire.

I agree that King Wilhelm is a good person. He is the kind of King who uses his heart over important matters (which could be negative in some ways). Just look how he treat his son, Darius. Wilhelm is not strict nor forced things on him. Even Midius doesn't treat him with much respect. This man points to him his wrong decisions like he knew more than the king.Aisha_123 wrote: ↑07 Oct 2020, 00:12 King Wilhelm seems like a good king. What are your general thoughts about the King? Do you think he might have a hidden agenda for Voulhire? What do you think about the situation with Lord Meldorath? Was he right to imprison him without a trial or he didn't want to be seen as biased due to their relationship? Lastly, what do you think of Voulhire under his rule?
I just don't find Wilhelm a strong king. He and Meldorath were very good friends. It is early to assume what really happened, but perhaps the king is just trying to be an example that laws are applicable to everyone.
