Hi everyone. I have a question now that I finally had a chance to
read Magician's End.

During the last part of the book, there were a lot of very detailed
changes decribed as a result of events in this book. Knowing this was
the final book in the series, I am wondering why these changes were
made. Was this to set-up the kingdom for how it was when the RPG
campaign began that inspired the Midkemia series? Or was there
another reason to go into so many details of the changes when there
will be no follow-up adventures in this setting?

I am just curious. Having read this series for the last 30 years
(since 1986), I am sad to see it end even if I knew this was coming.

Thanks

Wayne

Hi Wayne,

My guess would be that he'd had all these ideas and wanted to set them
down before closing out the series. Possbly they were ideas he'd had
from the very beginning about how things might pan out. As you say, it
may have been his idea of how his era of Midkemia related to the RPG
era.

Like you I'm sorry to see the end but it's been an interesting journey
and we weren't left in limbo like some other author's series. Even
with an end, there's always room for speculation about what happened
next.

Regards,
Peter
