Does anyone even have a clue why Queen Elphame wants the Fisher King?

[Just a thought out there to think about. Something about this was oddly suspicious to him. Then again he still doesn't really trust fae.]

Surely his curse would even damage Elphame.

Also now I've been turned into a woman two times too many.

Not really. As far as I know, the Fisher King isn't anyone that important.

Of course if they wanted to save the Land of Rot from being what it is, that's a different story. But again I'm not sure why they would feel the need to do that.

It is not something I would be able to answer. Though if it had not been as it was, perhaps they seek a return? Or perhaps they mean simply to allow the Land of Rot to return to that which it had become.

Nor does one need to be important to become so.

[unknowntodeath]

I suppose they might want to do that. Land of Rot just seems like an ecosystem that has been around for a long time. I doubt the dead there would cease to be if the land was cured: they did come to Camelot when the Fisher King left Land of Rot, probably looking for a new place to live.

Honestly, the more I think about this the more I wonder about the Fae Queen's motives.

Unless they, too, could be restored I doubt they would. Though perhaps it is not beyond impossibility the land could be returned to the way it was, absent the presence of the Fisher King.

[She knows little and less about curses, after all.]

As to her motives... I would not know. Even should I have wished to, I have scarcely been here for any length of time.

[unknowntodeath]

It would be interesting to know what the land was like before. What the name was before turning into 'Rot'.

We haven't been in contact with the Queen for very long either. Half a year, maybe?

[ranksinmistlore]

Longer than I, if barely.

Though surely someone as long-lived as the Queen might know what it had been called, once?
