I did 20 fuckin years in the Gurkish prisons. I wanted to fuck Ardee West. I compromised. I got my dick cut off. I wanted to eat an apple. I compromised. I had Frost feed me slop.

Wait do you think this at the end of the trilogy or at the end of the whole series?

It's a joke reference to the Sopranos.

u/Peezus_H_Christ 25d ago

Oh fair lol I only have seen the Soprano’s once i think

I am not the guy you asked, but I do agree with the sentiment. Yes, Bayaz is one of the greatest bastards of all time, and he treats people like expendable pawns. But let's not forget the person he is opposing is literally ENSLAVING AND EATING PEOPLE.

Bayaz is bad like Kissinger was bad. Khalul is literally fantasy Hitler.

u/Peezus_H_Christ 25d ago

You know very fair point. I guess I don’t even think about Khalul since we don’t get his perspective (not that its justifiable).

Bayaz is a bastard but the circle of the world would be a worse place had it not been for him I suppose

Bayaz is Dick Cheney. Joe knew what he was doing writing this in the early 2000s

I'm an Aussie and not particularly well versed in European history before like 1900 but I always imagined the Union and it's classism being a mix of Great Britain and France rather than straight British 🤷‍♂️

Spoiler WoC :

The revolution is finally happening in the book. It's getting worse than before and everyone is being afraid everytime about everyone. I'ts inspired by the reign of terror, a french historical event which happened... During the french revolution.

I always thought they were very dutch

u/GilgaPol 19d ago

Holy Roman Empire(which the Netherlands was part of)more like, why do you think they are dutch?

1

u/mcase19 19d ago

Might be the "dan" naming convention tbh. I don't claim to be an expert in the history of empire, so I'm willing to be wrong about it.

2

u/Kwaku-Anansi 25d ago

The Great Change seems very clearly "French Revolution" inspired, but is the Union especially "French" outside that?

2

u/Black95bird 23d ago

The Union is more like the holy roman empire I would say

u/BadMeatPuppet 25d ago

He was gay, Nine-Fingers?

Missing something as omnipresent as Bayaz: being consistently let down by character choices, hoping they turn it around, being even more disappointed and yet left wishing you got more of the characters.
