I already expect them to cure Roundrox and/or Mide's lover if they're Tempered by Alexander. The biggest problem with the Echo is that it - and thus the WoL - can technically do anything with it as is needed to advance the plot. Which unfortunately makes many of the game's antagonists never get a chance to feel like a threat, thus it all circles back.


I don't mean to sound overly negative but...blergh. I generally end up supporting the antagonists in most settings because to me they're just much more interesting and complex. They're the ones that are usually fleshed out enough to endure realistic consequences whilst the protagonists often get a free pass because 'lol dey da gud guys' and 'rule of cool! lol!!!11'.

Alas, I'm pretty much in the minority. I already get strange looks whenever I admit that the Lannisters are my favourite characters in Game of Thrones.
