bad writing: the unkowing wuk lamat

[Dovaah]

I've had this conversation with some friends for the past few days.

The 3 promises have barely anything going for them and their character development is next to non existant (Wuk Lamat is still saying the same things over and over till the very end of the MSQ, same for Zoraal Ja with his dumb idea of bringing war to people that live in peace so they would cry out for peace (???) and Koana is almost a plank. He's all about progress and technology but has nothing to show for it beside: technology would solve this problem (without mentioning that after he becomes head of Wisdom, he barely does anything that isn't saying yes to Wuk Lamat)

They don't have any depth and are very surface level so when their ideas clash, it feels empty and flat.

It might have been a better idea to switch their personalities around a bit ? As in, Wuk Lamat could have been an overconfident brat like Zoraal Ja and she could get some humble pie along the way that would have made her realise that being a Dawnservant requires qualities that she's lacking.
Zoraal Ja could have been a more caring individual but his jealousy of not being the de facto next ruler of Tural should have grown more and more throughout the trials. (The only hint of this present in the MSQ being a single line thrown by Krile and then its never mentioned again)
As for Koana, I don't know, there is so little about him I just can't think of anything. (Him caring about his sister is not enough)

Almost forgot to mention: Why is no one giving a damn about Zoraal Ja ? He just disappears and no one, even his father says a thing about him or ask where he could be.

For a group that goes on and on about being a family, they sure don't act like one at all !
