If I had to make a guess, I would say that it's considered evil because they think he was murdered, and murder is universally viewed as an evil act.
SCSF: That might naturally be it, too: it was caused by an evil act, so it is evil itself.
This just made me simultaneously giggle and roll my eyes. That's like saying "your father was probably male." NO SHIT, SHERLOCK. I suppose they could have meant that he was the child of an enchanter, rather than a descendant several generations removed, but the way it's phrased is so horrible.
The counterexample to your example is even easier, since that simply depends on someone taking the "father" role even if they do not fit in the traditional mold for it. In this case, since we know the ward Axis sang against Gorgrael was taught to him in the womb, the counterexample would be... that Rivkah got pregnant from an Icarii who was not an Enchanter and that one of their family later showed up to her to teach Axis the ward. It is not impossible, but quite improbable.
Maybe it wouldn't have taken you months if you hadn't been lying about everything from the moment you met them. You've done absolutely nothing to make anyone want to trust you!
They really do not understand that trust helps, do they?
I do actually think that could be implemented. Something like the magic of the language would allow those with the blood of that particular race to automatically be able to understand the language, even if they had never spoken or heard it before. I believe I've actually seen that somewhere before, but I can't remember where.
I will have to see if it actually is the case, I suppose. It does sound sensible enough for "the Prophet", at least.
Yeah, if they're depending on his leadership skills, the world is doomed from the start. This isn't even a case of a hero just needing the right training to become what he needs to be to save the world; this implies that Axis is just fine the way he is, and doesn't need to change anything.
As I recall, that is about how it will unfold, only that he needs to embrace his Icarii side further. At least he will only manage to get this continent blown up?
