Fourth Wing Theories; ONYX STORM SPOILERS but they just get a little more insane every time
1.) I think the dragons are purposfully killing their riders when they die.
I have no concrete evidence to back thie up, thid is fully speculation until the series is finished. My only reasoning is that Tairn allows Violet to have knowledge about dragons that seems like it woukd be important. He explain feathertails to her, he gave her his entire lineage (Or, most of it), he tells her things that most other humans don't know about. Do we really think the other dragons don't do this? I think the dragons are killing their riders with them as a failsafe and telling them its because of their "unbreakable bond". If the Naolin is venin and the dragons are secretly evil theories are true, this checks out. Also Jack killed his own dragon and didn't die? How?? Maybe its cause he's venin. Maybe that really shouldn't matter.
This is pretty obvious and i'm tapping this theory on the shoulders with my ssord and calling it true.
"We don't speak about the one who came before" - Tairn, about Naolin
"The dark one" - About Xaden
"It cost him everything" Brennan, about Naolin. Why didn't he just say it cost him his life?
3.) Violet is inntinnsic (idfk how you spell it, and not simply dreamwalking) and has been the WHOLE DAMN TIME
Everyone thinks all the times in fourth wing and iron flame where Violet says something as a thought and Xaden replies its HIS second signet. Thats now how his signet works. He reads intentions, not thoughts.
And as we know inntinnsics come in different forms, not just reads minds. I think Violet is the type of inntinnsic that can project her thoughts. She projects herself into others dreams. She's a projector. That sounds dumb as hell idfk.
But yes. She's like the opposite of a regular inntinnsic, instead of taking things out of others' minds, she just puts herself in there.
As for why she needs it? Consistently throughout these books she has needed information time and time again. She needs Xaden to be honest with her. She needs to know that her family is okay. She needs to know how the fuck brennan is alive. She needs to know how to activate and or create wardstones. She needs to know all these things and there's never a time where she genuinley knows everything.
4.) Lillith Sorrengail is or was venin
I fear this is the most obvious of them all. I hate it.
Anyway I think Lilith channelled from the earth when she was pregnant with Violet. Do I know why she did it? No. Maybe she was fighting during the Tyrrish Rebbellions. Thats the only thing I can think of.
- Violet herself. She is weak. Frail. Grey hair like a few other venin. When her mother channelled with her in the womb, she accidentally channeled from HER. Most obvious point but it explains her disabilities. I realize after finishing OS that her hair is grey bc of what her dad did dont mind that
“When you have children, we can discuss the risks you'll take, the lies you'll be willing to tell in order to keep them safe." She took a risk channeling with Violet in the womb.
"Most generals dream of dying in service to their kingdom. But you know me better than that, my love. When I fall it will be for one reason only: to protect our children."
- Her 'sickness' while she was pregnant with Violet BOOK ONE CHAPTER ONE PAGE THREE MOTHERFUCKER
"Her gaze siphons every ounce of my confidence down to the marrow in my bones. "It's like that fever stole all your coloring along with your strength." Grief flashes through her eyes and her brows furrow. "I told him not to keep you in that library."
Its not the first time I've heard her curse the sickness that nearly killed her while she was pregnant with me or thr librzry Dad maxd my second hime once she'd been stationed here as Basgisth as an intructor and he as a scribe."
Fourth Wing, Chapter One page 3
Obviously she feels guilty about what happened- why would she feel guilty? She did it on purpose. Her sickness was a cover up so that the red from her eyes could dissapear and nobody saw her, and her dads research was focused on killing venin.
5.) The dragons are hiding so much mors than we think (there is so much that goes into this theory)
First lets break it down.
Black dragons- the most cunning. The Dubhmadinn line. Dubh - black, madinn - morning. .... black morning. Contradictive dont we think. In the beggining of time, there would have been no light.
Blue dragons- the most ruthless and oftej large. The Gormfaileas line. Gorm- blue, Faileas - shadow or reflection. What can we connect that to (im saying this sarcastically) We have a blue reflection or a blue shadow.
Green dragons - known for their intellect and generally rational. Uainellidsig/Cruaidhuaine line. Uaine = Green, ellid i could only find welsh roots in which it meant "wrath" or "rage" very unfitting, I'll circle back to this later. Cruaid = "hard" "harsh" "strong" or "cruel" again, unfitting. The uaine again means green. So we have cruel green and green wrath.
Orange Dragons - The most unpredictable. Fhaicorian line. Fhaic (faic) = to see. Orion is difficult- we have the mythical greek figure, the hunter. The greek word “ὄριον” (órion), which means "boundry" or "limit". In hebrew it means "light" or "flame"
Red and Brown dragons have unknown origin at this moment, we don't know what lines they descend from likely because it woulr be too big of a spoiler.
I would like to circle back to the oddity that is "blue shadow". Now i'm no Star Wars fan, but Rebbeca Yarros is. She confirmed it during an interview. Blue Shadow is a virus in starwars that's waterborne. It makes people have extemely pale skin with blue veins. Just gonna leave that there.
So from what we see every single dragons name / breed is contradicting. All of em. Crazy huh.
I think the dragons are connected with the gods. Like they're their children. 6 gods (Amari, Dunne, Malek, Zihnal, Hedeon, Loial) 6 currently known dragons (Green, red, blue, brown, black, orange). Black dragons are clearly connected to Malek. We all know all about Malek so im not explaining it here.
Amari = Queen of the Gods. Cherubs are often carved at her feet in her statues.
Dunne = Goddess of strength and war. Has a river named after her.
"Dedicating oneself to temple work isn't just a noble pursuit. Becoming high priest or priestess is the closest most of us will get to touching the power of the gods. The rest are riders." —Major Rorilee's Guide to Appeasing the Gods, Second Edition
The dragons have been consistently hinted at as being close to gods. THEY'RE THEIR CHILDREN. Or at least the first dragons were. And I dont mean the first to bond, I mean the first dragons.
Rebbecca has also told us that the dragons are lying about their names. I present; what I just did with every fucking name we have
Tairneanach - Tair = Tairg = Offer or gift
Anach = commin suffix in gaelic, often a descriptor
Andarna - we all know it means second honor, she's Violets second dragon I personally don't think it means anymore than that.
Okay so I realize now those are essentially the only dragon names we know, but I would like to point out that Professor Carr's (signet trainer) dragons name is Breugan which means little lies. Carr says that knowledge is power to Violet.
