The killing law

[Ferdinand_Otieno]

I’ve not read the book yet but I saw a pretty detailed description and the killing Law was mentioned. I think it’s pretty brutal but in Echoland it is used as a form of Checks and Balance, although it is a harsh law.

I think it was a brutal law too, but more shocking was the acceptance the people of Echoland took to it.

The law may not be relevant in our world as its been established by decree as opposed to being natural. Thanks for the question.

This is probably true, but I like to think that sounds could be connected to their echoes. It would def add a new depth to the story

Yes, that is an interesting thought which I would hope the author explores in a sequel.

The killing law is a law of the land, not the law of nature. It is only in effect because the king decreed it.

This is true! Because once it is (hopefully) abolished by William then this wouldn't even be a discussion anymore I suppose

You would be surprised at just how many things people accept these days. Even here in the real world. Echoland is like a mirror of the real world.

The killing law is "that when a Sound dies his Echo should die too—or evil times will follow."

What do you think happens when an Echo dies before its Sound? Nothing? Maybe that's why car accidents or murders happen in our realm? What are your thoughts?

It's just a fiction book, but I think there's sense here. Sound and Echo realms are like spiritual and physical realms. If someone is killed spiritually, it would manifest physically. Nice thought, Kro.

Hmm interesting idea. What happens in the spiritual realm manifests in the physical. Nice one.

I completely agree with your assessment. The law only came into being when the False King had lost the crown to his brutish older brother after William's father died.

I think the first thing William will do as King is to abolish this law.

Wow, that is a harsh realization when it comes to the kind of laws passed, like the Killing Law.

I think more like the Killing law is part of another obscure law in the Sound Realm.

This is sad, yet true! It's crazy how many people will blindly follow those in power. It makes me think of Hitler and how so many were brainwashed by someone so crazy

What do you have in mind?

See this is where things got a bit confusing for me. Like you, I thought the false king enacted the law to kill his brother to take over the throne. But the law was enacted around 250 yrs ago by a different king who was murdered by his brother using the law of death (who then became king and decreed that kings were to be exempt from the law in the future). The false king had only been on the throne for 4 months by the time Will came into the picture. He wanted to use the killing law to prevent prince William from proving his fathers innocence (which would put him as heir to the throne). So the group we see in the chrystillery showing the king dieing was NOT the false King and prince William's dad. I originally thought that too. And the false king did not put the law into place. It was already decreed long before he came along

That's definitely an interesting thought. I never imagined that if an echo dies first that maybe that's why there are accidents, etc that happen in the sound realm. I personally believe nothing happens to them. I think the fate sealers were more concerned with keeping their realm under law.

I think you are right! Nothing probably happens. I like how a PP mentioned that maybe when an Echo is killed first it effects the Sounds spirit (as in causes depression or feelings of loss). Sort of an interesting take on things!
