I'm assuming she means a relationship.

"Yes, that's a painting of the old Grand Templar, before her sudden disappearance."

Nothing that clearly says she was his immediate predecessor.

Yeah, Trace was the one who ousted her with Euchre and took over.

Here's as it happened, where Mary insists that Trace won't become the Grand Templar, but he rebukes that with "they'll have little choice in the matter."

**EDIT**


I misread that, didn't realize we were talking about Trace's personal knowledge of the succession. However, I'd hedge my bets that he knows about it now considering he found and read his old diary; that would likely connect some dots there.

Oh yeah, there's plenty of very-solid evidence saying Silverlock was his immediate predecessor. That isn't disputed (at least, not that I've noticed).

There's rather less evidence of just what Trace has learned of his past, and that's why questions like this exist.

Didn't Trace used to have one of his old journals, from his time as a student at the Templar academy? I forget exactly what page(s) it appeared, but he (flashback Trace) was discussing the use of black magic and how he had to "limit" how much he experimented with it. Up until the point where he went crazy, that would probably be the best record of what he did and why.

The journal depicts things past her death and his insanity. It's how he knew about Edinmire and his estate, which are only relevant well past his ascension to Grand Templar.

True, but it's probably best for Trace's mental health that he exercises caution before reading any of those sections. They might mention something about whatever is on the third floor, which would tempt him to see it regardless of Roselyn's warnings, and...

Oh, criminy. :shock:

There's a Twokinds thread in the CrosstimeCafe forum. Swiping something from there...

It would be interesting to see her reaction to discovering Flora is having Trace's baby.

We already knew this. The previous Grand Templar was Mary Silverlock, Raine's mother, and she fell in love with Euchre not knowing he was a Keidran disguised as a human.
Whoops, my bad. Been following this story for a long time, but that fact slipped my mind.
