Idk If This Is Asking To Much But Can You Give Quick Thoughts On Each Of The Headcanons Tdp Dropped On

Idk if this is asking to much but can you give quick thoughts on each of the headcanons tdp dropped on reddit? I love your analysis and opinions on the matter so much!

Well, I screenshotted all these thinking I’d use them eventually, but… sure, since I’ve made this so easy for myself, here you go.

I just did a theory post on this one about primal stones. Also Viren didn’t make his Sky primal stone. Ibis has one in his staff, and so does the Moonshadow elf from the intro. I’m guessing there’s one cool staff for each elven race, and its leader/most powerful mage controls it.

This one reaffirms that dark magic is complicated, but that it can accomplish good things with bad means. Which we been knew, but it’s always good to be reminded that everything has a cost, even good things.

Elven language comes in different forms that descend form a mother tongue, but it has a Common tongue, too, and the writing is all similar enough that elves can generally read each others’ languages. This is probably to do with why Ethari’s forge sleeves and Janai’s sheath have the same heat-protection rune on them, but in very different script. One is Sunfire script and the other is Moonshadow script. Headcanon confirmed!

Annika and Neha seem to be Aanya’s biological parents, because love finds a way. Guys, the fics this will create.

It’s apparently unlikely that half-elves currently exist, since it’s been many centuries since anyone explored whether humans and elves can have kids together. *eyes the above post* But love finds a way, so…?

Sunfire elves can live a really long time–which fits with the fact that Khessa’s grandma was alive 300 years ago–and Crow Lord is just trying to relax, okay.

Who wants to sign up for advanced Magical Genetics at XCC with me? Because that’s how we’ll learn what happens if two elves of different races have kids.

Also, “Callum’s Spellbook” will have more info about Earthblood and Tidebound elves, and it comes out early next year.

Claudia’s resurrection spell is not well known and it has a high cost, and we’ll learn more about that in S4.

There may be official map merch on the way. DUDE I LOVE MAPS!

Viren is responsible for Ezran being locked up after he abdicated–he was trying to minimize disruption and threat to his brand new rule. How… pragmatic.

Weirdobeardo elves. That is all.

Callum’s birth father is a “very compelling person.”

There are vegetarian elves and not-vegetarian elves.

There’s backstory to Soren’s relationship with Viren. I’m guessing it’ll be in that first book? 

Rayla may not know yet exactly what Viren meant when he taunted her with the coins in his pouch. Reason is her least favorite negotiation tactic, after all. Come on, Rayla. Just mention it to Callum, and he’ll piece it together for you. Then you can kiss him and the two of you can fly off to tell Ethari.

Did anyone else notice this, because yeah, magic rivers. I bet it’s the Tidebound elves’ work.

Horn cuffs = marriage. I’m betting each elf makes or designs their partner’s cuffs for them. That’s why Runaan’s are covered in swirlies and Ethari’s are pointy with Runaan’s eye color in them. Meanwhile, Lain’s and Tiadrin’s each have two raised bands on them, because they’re very alike.

Callum’s going to “obsess and work to connect with another arcanum.” That doesn’t mean he’ll succeed. But I bet it’ll be Moon.

Hello and welcome to another episode of “Everyone Hates Aaravos.” Archdragons and elves (with primal stone staffs, I’m hc’ing) ganged up to yeet him into the mirror. (Possibly because Queen Aditi tried it alone, failed, got turned human, ran off to Katolis, and everyone else panicked when she disappeared, so they posse’d up.)

Claudia’s not done casting big dark magic spells! Rut roh.

S4 will show us Viren without Aaravos to guide him. I’m guessing that could be because Aaravos has chosen Claudia instead, but we’ll see.

Soren and Claudia’s mom is in the first book, where we’ll get her name and the nature of her relationship with her husband.

We almost got full-Moonshadow Rayla there at the S3 finale. And powerful Moonshadows can shift into full Moonshadow form without the full moon! *braces for even more fics*

Other human kingdoms have dark mages, but they’re rare. Jelly tarts are based on hamantaschen.

Rayla had a lead role in High School Moonsical her senior year.

Some human kingdoms have a lot of religion and mythology, but Katolis isn’t heavy into it. There may be super secret plans for a tabletop/RPG set in Katolis. Earth arcanum stuff is druidic in nature.

There may be more questions I didn’t see, but these were all the nifty ones I saw get answered. Enjoy!
