Someone Else's End

Post by GianKosi77 »

"No matter what happens, it is a means to someone else's end" - Meldorath. In my opinion, this assertion is very true following the events in the story. Which scenario in the book justifies this assertion that makes the title of the book relevant?

"Everything, no matter how great, is just a means to someone else's end." This sentence from book 2 perfectly summaries book 3.

All I can think about is the trial, Shore against Soulhire, and how it was a means to the end of king Wilhelm and almost Soulhire.

From Miss Shore affirmative statement, in a consensus meeting with Voulhire's dignitaries, she pointed out and justified how they must serve as means to the refugee's ends.

I would say someone else's end is demonstrated when the king Wilhem is killed and the greatest City in Voulhire Kingdom; Soulhire City is destroyed.

Meldorath had planned to kill King Wilhelm to get the notes that he wanted. When he arrived together with his companions, the Emperor of Lullabies had already attacked and killed King Wilhelm. This clearly depicts that no matter what happens, it's a means to someone else's end.

I believe that what Meldorath stated conveyed that the effect of a decision will inevitably cause the end of something. We saw this came true in the peace and people in Soulhire, especially King Wilhelm.

Regardless of what occurs, it is a way to another person's end" As I would see it, this affirmation is exceptionally evident after the occasions in the story. Which situation in the book legitimizes this affirmation that makes the title of the book pertinent?

Every major event

The end of an entire kingdom is the aim of the Riva Rohavi.

Meldorath is constantly causing someone else's end to get what he wants. Remember him telling Eiodi Ganesh that 'if he were to guess the number of people he had killed he would guess less'?

The demons taking over Virko caused a lot of people's ends.

And of course, there's king Wilhelm's assassination. Done so Nartik could become king.

Almost all major events prove this statement true. Lucius Nartik suggesting to the Emperor of Lullabies about KIng WIlhelm's plans so he could be crowned. Meldorath's endorsement of Nartik so he could get Javikun's notes. Riva getting rid of the Mianora for Nartik before they dethrone Nartik. They all prove that the characters are just playing the long game and whoever or whatever stands in their way will only be used as a stepping stone.

I totally agree with this too. That's exactly how I see it too. The trial was a means to king Wilhlem's end just like almost every other incidences are means to someone else's end. This is also a good saying as it applies to the real world albeit not literally.

Very true! Almost all events justified the statement. One feature is always a means to another feature's end in the book. For example, citizen of the Lands of the Princes are the means to Emperor of Lullabies' end. Also, Voulhire is a means to the refugees' stepping stone to escape Lands of the Princes
