In Topic: Questions about Mallick Rel (spoilers book 6)
16 August 2026 - 10:10 PM
Abyss, on 04 August 2026 - 03:06 PM, said:Laseen isn't fooled. She needs someone to blame for the loss of 7C, two entire armies, and the food imports from 7C that a chunk of the Empire rely on. If she doesn't point the finger and extract vengeance, various nobles and entire countries in the ME are likely to rebel, seeing her as weak or ineffective.
Mallick Rel has infiltrated the Claw. Korbolo Dom is connected within the Empire. They can sell any story they want, either to support Laseen, or to bring her down. So she can't blame them without risking civil war at a minimum.
The few surviving Wickans and the Khundryl, a renegade 7C tribe, are her best targets. No connections, not particularly useful to her, already distrusted, easy to blame. She throws them under the bus as betrayers and renegades, wipes them out, it buys her time to undermine Rel and Reloe and reset her power.
In the throneroom, she wants Tavore to agree to that plan. If Tavore refuses right there and then, the Claw and Rel strike, Laseen picks a side and loses either way, and Tavore and Kalam are unlikely to survive (tho Kalam seemed ready to take that chance).
Thanks, I didn't get all that but I felt the choice difficulty in Kalam's brain. The way I read it, it was more like Laseen wasn't sure who's telling the truth.
Still, I'm so happy that they are translated now, I was missing so much information before. Started the 7th one last week, it's the last one I've read (in English) like 5-10 years ago but I don't remember a lot of it.
