Narrative Connection

How these two moments in the story relate


Why These Connect

Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

The War Lord’s role in eliminating dissent (killing the War Chief) prefigures his own eventual judgment for his broader crimes against time and life. The pattern of eliminating threats continues into his trial.
