But realistically, it is possible for good men to perish under dangerous politics and wars. Meldorath's arrest had made Hillport weaker. Aldus thought Meldorath was the only threat. He did not know of Riva's advances. Maido neither warned, nor helped him. And Riva took advantage of that.

Completely agree with you. I believe, the author uses Lord Eldus' death to show the evil nature of Riva Rohavi. He's an innocent victim of someone else's evil will, and it's really unfair. That ending left me quite shocked, frankly speaking.

Owww, yeah. I just remembered Ned Stark (my good man). Both men share the same sad fate; all odd were working against them. But I believe their deaths served as a motivation to their children (child).ankit252 wrote: ↑01 Oct 2020, 07:19 Alderman's death reminded me of Ned Stark's in "A Game of Thrones". Good men killed by politics they did not foresee. It was sad and unfair.

I'm curious where these "dark undertones" will lead. It almost seems like Hillport is curse: Orlin turns from a good lord to a perverse one, Eldus also starts good but starts being influenced by Meldorath... or maybe it's just Meldorath's presence. While Eldus's death might be important for his son's character development, I don't think that's really a good reason to kill a character, although it is a good use of a character's death.rahilshajahan wrote: ↑01 Oct 2020, 05:32 Keep reading the series. You will soon understand that there are dark undertones throughout the books in the series. Moreover, the death of family of the lord of Hillport is important for the character development of his son, Marshus Alderman.
