I just want to put this in a post to say I called it. In the Worlds Beyond Number W.W.Wo preludes, I think Suvi's parents are actually fleeing the Citadel, Steel is actually a double agent and the real reason Suvi's parents are dead are because she chose to stay loyal to the Citadel instead.
Evidence to support this:
1 Soft's "colleague" Yoren is revealed in ep 2 to be of a sect of mages that Ame mentions they are "supposed to be at war with" to which Suvi agrees. Why would Soft and Stone be with him/fighting along side him if not in opposition of the Citadel?
2 There is no mention of any seige or battle at the Citadel itself (no mentioned evidence of battle, or mention of and occupation, etc), so why would Soft and Stone be leaving in such a rush? Why is Suvi in such danger of being found by unknown, but presumed powerful, people? Wouldn't the Citadel be one of the safer places if it wasn't Wizards she was endangered by?
3 Brennan has historically not loved empires, why would he let them be the good guy?? Also if Steel is good then why no character voice, that's not very on brand lol
Food for thought
Any input @quiddie ?
