[QUOTE="emeraldbeacon, post: 8462652, member: 7032019"] (my own musings, as this is coming up quickly in my playthrough) I do like that angle on the Anyariel/Gwenvere/Timbre triangle. As functionally immortal fey, Gwenvere and Timbre would have been acquaintences, friends, or rivals for ages... but the love of the mortal Anyariel would have easily pit them against one another. If Gwenvere was indeed Anyariel's lover, rather than Timbre, that makes Gwenvere's actions all the more relatable... and Gwen's wrath towards Timbre could easily have been something akin to, "you turned my love into a warrior, a hero... and she died for it. All you wanted was a champion for your forest!" I imagine that as Timbre effectively "groomed" the elf into her own personal champion, there was mutual attraction, temptation, and perhaps even indiscretion, that only fueled the feud between the two fey, as Anyariel desperately struggled to maintain a balance between her duty to the woods, attraction to Timbre, and love for Gwenvere. After Anyariel's death, the two fey only became more bitter towards one another (Timbre believed "she did nothing wrong, Anyariel made her own choices", while Gwenvere "was callously swept aside by a powerful rival"). My interpretation above paints Timbre in a decidedly unpleasant light. I'm not sure if there's a good balance between the Dryad and Nymph, in who was right or wrong, but at least this gives Timbre's likely death a slight hint of "poetic justice," rather than "accepting death for an eternal reward..."
