Same here, I would have really hated making Eris if I couldn't find a more unique reason for her to be a villain, and really it's all just because she is unable to understand basic unspoken human rules.

The shaman also resents Zayl though in that aspect. Where as the shaman couldn't warn and save his own daughter, Zayl could, and he's angry that Zayl was braver and stronger than he ever could be.
