Hi Mary, I’m glad you found us and are enjoying what we’ve got to offer.

I’ve reread this post through your eyes and yes, I’ve caused some confusion. Because any particular event may affect more than one character, it gets described in several posts. Instead of going into detail and copying and pasting the same thing into each post, I’ve summarised to varying degrees to avoid each post becoming huge, unreadable monstrosities. But in trying to keep things brief I’ve given a different impression of what actually happened.

In Wrath’s post, I mentioned the meeting that was supposed to take place with the glymera council after he learned of Montrag’s assassination attempt, where they sent Saxton in their place and he presented the Brotherhood with the envelope from Montrag’s estate. So it made sense for me to say in Wrath’s part that the glymera refused to show up, but in Rehvenge’s post, I chose to focus on the fact that the envelope was revealed because of its impact on Rehvenge, because the glymera’s failure show up had more to do with Wrath. But that decision on my part gave the impression that the envelope was presented to the glymera, when we both know it wasn’t.

The princess’s death was interesting because Xhex shot her four times, then Lash threw her wounded body against a wall, hoping to be the one to ultimately kill her because she chose Rehvenge over him. But she was still alive when Lash disappeared with Xhex, and the princess killed the king. The colony full of symphaths chose Rehv as their king, but she used her power to reclaim her new subjects. Then she noticed Ehlena was at the colony to rescue Rehv, so she tried to kill Ehlena. Before she could, Rehv used his power to break into the princess’s mind and increase her lust for power and for Rehv to fever intensity. Then he slammed her with the knowledge that she would never rule or have him. The pain of that loss drove her to stab herself and Rehv made her twist the knife. Then he called the venomous creepy-crawlies that had covered him for the past month and made them cover her and bite. Their venom stopped her heart.

So Xhex shot her in the chest, but that wasn’t enough to kill her. Lash threw her against a wall, but she survived that long enough to kill her mate. Rehv was the one who actually killed her by using the arachnids.

I mentioned each person’s involvement separately and in isolation so each post wouldn’t be longer than necessary with me saying the same things over and over. But I can definitely see why you’ve interpreted my words the way you have. Maybe they don’t come together to make the whole as clearly as I thought.

This is something I can try to work on. If you see something else that looks wrong, please let me know so I can try to explain it more clearly.

Hello! I´m from brazil and I heard about your blog and decided to check it out :) I really like this cheat sheet!! But it made me wonder: there are some things about Rehv that are described differently to what I´ve read in the books. Like the sympath princess killing herself. And the lawyer presenting Montrag´s document to the glymera. But then, when you´re talking about Xhex, you say that se was the one who killed the princess (and that´s what I read in the books too,lol). So I was just wondering why is that? I´m only just starting to browse the website and Im sure I´ll find lots of cool stuff here, not just about the Brotherhood :)
