only time ive seen anyone referenced as "dragon of the forest" wasnt in the character bibles it was in one of the story bibles. and that would be a guy named merlin. who isnt human at all he is a high elf (one who isnt 3 feet tall for once).
and selfish? myerrrrrg....i dunno mate kingsfield is about point of view. like looking at things through the villains eyes and seeing that to them, the "good guys" are evil.
id say this is one bitchy lizard. but in the end look at it this way, she is fighting for what she beleives is right. seath beleives in the magic of change, guyra never beleived in that.
seath beleives that men should be left alone at this point to beleive in what religions they create and surround themselves with,
while guyra beleives they should all be made aware of the truth.
there are alot of times when the character easily depicted as the villain is later destroyed and gone forever, and then later events occur that cause the hero of the story to say to himself "you were right all along".
its sad, but true. seath could easily be the warmer softer less overemotional figure, but in the end she manipulates the world around her just as much, trying to make things lean toward what she feels is the direction the world should grow in.
no different than guyra. and perhaps her angry desparation/frustration fighting so hard to make HER side the right one, makes her seem like the villain.
the moonlight sword has two important phrases insceibed on it:
"do be kind and civilized. dont descend into the dark abyss."
very old words that apear in many fables. short sweet and to the point. simple instructions for life.
and the dark slayer says... not a god damn thing.
one is giving what some people call good advice, while the other gives no advice.
but another way you can look at it is, one is telling you how you should live, while the other is leaving you to your own devices.
again this is the essence of kingsfield. its up to you, make your own decisions. you decide what you feel is right and wrong.
decide your own religion.
