Re: Inheritance! What About It?
The topic of inheritance should not be discussed with the beneficiaries before death of the benefactor. Doing so can result in disagreements as some people would feel like they deserve more than others. In the case of Galen and his uncle, letting Galen know before death wouldn't have resulted in an disagreement because Galen was the only beneficiary, and Galen is not a greedy person.

Yes, we know that he didn't know if he had any family left, but he was hopeful for someone. I think that's normal. If a person lived a life and had no heir, they would reach out to their own family.

I think that Galen's uncle would love to tell him personally about his inheritance. However, Galen Onita as mentioned in the letter was overcame with cowardice to reach out to his estranged family in the Princes. If he had reached out sooner, he might had been able to see Galen before his death. On the other note, I think that talking about inheritance shouldn't become a taboo since it is better to hear what you'll be inheriting from the benefactor itself. As well, it would've been less difficult to trace Galen if he was expecting to get ship to Voulhire. Unfortunately, he hadn't even met his uncle once.Joseph_ngaruiya wrote: ↑01 Oct 2020, 00:26 Squabbling over inheritance isn’t welcoming, and so is discussing it with the people you love. It is almost implying that they are going to die. Should Galen’s uncle have told him about the inheritance before his demise? Should inheritance be a topic raised by families while they are still alive? Could it have been easier to track down Galen if he had known of his inheritance in the years before his uncle died?

Speaking about Galen's uncle, I think he made steps to find Galen only after he was sure he was dying. The magical book is definitely the most important item that he passes on to his nephew. I am sure we will learn more about Galen's uncle in the future parts.
