The Old Kingdom/Fridge

Fridge Brilliance

• In The Old Kingdom, the Charter bloodlines are the answer to everything. How does Kerrigor have so much power? Power enough to actually break Kibeth and Saraneth when he needs to, power to set about breaking the Charter, and nearly succeeding? Because he himself is one of the Great Charters - the Royal bloodline. He is tied to the Charter itself, so if anyone can break it, it'll be one of the family. (In which case, Chlorr's story will be extremely interesting...)
  • And on that note, why did he try to use the blood of his family and the Abhorsens to break the Great Charter Stones? Why not that of the Clayr, who are far more numerous and would probably be at least a bit easier than waiting for two hundred years for a vulnerable Abhorsen to come along? Because the Clayr can see the future, and are especially sharp on Seeing that which pertains, personally, to them. Probably the only point that the Clayr's Sight would fail them would be when every other bloodline had been used to break the Great Stones - which would leave only about two or three left. -- Both by Vifetoile
