Forum:Change that Othar Made

I'd been wondering what it was that Othar did that would completely alter the future, and I think I may have figured it out. (This is all based on the premise that Klaus is still alive). If Othar had not interfered, but gone on to Paris, then Gil would have let the castle, gone to Castle Wulfenbach, and been confronted by a wasped Klaus under the control of Lu-Anevka (or possibly Lu-Zola, but there are reasons I prefer Lu-Anevka). It's possible that in the ensuing confusion and argument he may have been wounded, escaped, attempted to reach the castle in the hope that Agatha and Tarvek were still there, and died, as was described in Othar's twitter. Agatha might well have been captured by Wulfenbach forces, her collar removed, and then, with her mother's personality in charge, married Klaus, which would have left all of Europe at the mercy of the other.

However, since Othar turned away from Paris and headed for Mechanicsburg, was caught and ordered to collect Gil, and since Sanaa didn't know what Gil looked like, then, due to Othar's actions Tarvek, who is the one spark who knows enough about Lu's work to undo the changes, will be the person who confronts Klaus and Lu-Anevka. It isn't so much the matter of missing Gil as it is getting Tarvek to Klaus that mattered. It seems odd that the fate of Europe depends on Tarvek, but I think he's the pivotal character at this point.

Does this sound reasonable, or do I need to get more sleep at night? Windowseat 19:26, January 10, 2012 (UTC)
