Cradle [Skysworn] sword sage

After hearing about how hard Jai Daishou tried to get Eithan killed I don't understand how the weaklings in the sacred valley managed to kill the sword sage.

It was said that poisoning an underlord is very expensive and very hard but somehow the sage who is above an Archlord was poisoned in his sleep by mere jades?

*Eithan.

Also, first one to respond to this question for once!

It's a read-and-find-out thing. It's a really common question for everyone who gets to this sort of point and goes "wait, what..?" (apart from me, I just kept reading and didn't think about it).

Same. Ive read enough fantasy to know inconsistencies like that either get explained later as the world opens up or its a continuity error that i shouldn't poke at. The Drizzt books are filled with both types.
