The statuette of a future version of Elliania that Dutiful found at the treasure beach is the one loose end that really sticks in my craw from the Farseer and Tawny Man trilogies. Even Fitz's acquisition of the Rooster Crown feathers I'm willing to accept as so deeply intertwined with the Fool's fate as to be inevitable, if that makes sense. But how and why the Elliania figurine was created, and how it came to be on that beach for Dutiful and Fitz to find and bring back seems unexplainable.
