Destiny

The entire work is loaded with a sense of destiny, and the character Argon acts as a go-between for the characters who are desperately seeking a return to more peaceful times and higher powers, most notably the druids who have prophesied a time of great conflict. Fate, according to this narrative, is somewhat changeable. Certain events must necessarily happen, and these events are disastrous. Where the characters can make a difference is in the sacrifices and decisions that they make. Gwen is the most capable of altering fate, as evidenced in her ability to change the future course of events to one not even revealed to her by the wise Argon.
