the overturning of the law of daynos was kind of overshadowed by the complete clusterfuck (positive) that was book 3's ending, but can we back it up a second. they overturned the law of daynos. they didn't even really believe in overturning it, they just needed it to work one specific personal thing out. but that has massive ramifications. they showed up, decimated the current vané social structure and then left. can you imagine all the problems they left behind my god

#a chorus of dragons #mutuals I was gonna try to explain the law of daynos to you in the tags but I don't know if I have the space. i'll try to be brief #(it's imperfect the vané are complicated okay I'm fudging a few things)#law of daynos basically says once you die you are no longer legally responsible for the actions of your past life.#even once your soul gets transfered to a new body (VERY common. like everyone does it. its like faux immortality)#so any responsibilities agreements (like marriages) are void #but they overturned this law in book 3 #meaning that now like their entire population's past lives are suddenly legally considered alive and valid #marriages are valid again. debts you owed are valid again. etc #because in this world dying is very different. and you can die and still be the same person #therefore death actually /shouldn't/ automatically invalidate marriages debts responsibilities etc #and the main characters didn't actually really beleive in overturning the law #they just needed to reinstate this one person to the throne via overturning it #so they did that. and completely fucked SO many lives in the process #and we simply. never see the consequences #the main characters have too much else going on that this clusterfuck doesn't come close to making the cut #but I keep thinking about it...
