I kind of like Halward in DAI, guess I'm a rare one.
He messed up pretty badly but was willing to apologize and rebuild the bridge he burnt.
Not saying Dorian should forgive him though.
But reading the short story, he comes across as slightly more manipulative. "Avenge me Dorian" "The familly name"...
Don't know, it seems to me, both guys are making one step forward and two step back.
I'd respect Halward way more if he just set his son free. For real.
The sad thing is Halward still want Dorian to be a big deal magister, and Dorian probably wants the same thing.
The job being quite lethal, it might not be the healthier life choice.

If my assumption of the order of events is correct, then this last conversation took place after the Exalted Council, so Dorian had already made his choice. Whilst he bemoaned his situation to Cassandra as we were running around together in Trespasser, the fact is he can see how his new status can be used to achieve his aims with the Lucerni. Together with the other young Magisters and Maevaris he states they are now an actual faction within the Magisterium, so it would appear he has embraced the role. As for the role being lethal, well Dorian has never had much care for his own safety if he is doing "the right thing". He is well aware of the dangers of his life choice but I think he feels it is worth the risk. |

UnfortunAtely that really does mess up with my hope that Dorian’s personal quest was so bizarre in dealing with horrifying ideas with all the skill of an after school special was because of cuts/limitations.
Now it’s pretty clear some of that was by design.
I really like Dorian but damn is anything related to his personal quest a mess and I just want it to end so I can have Dorian as a bad ass mage fighting corruption who is out and proud instead of having to get bashed in the face repeatedly withfthe ridiculous hogwash of having to consider how someone who turns to blood magic to torture their kid/force them to do what you want could be anything other than damnable.
