Some Silverborn thoughts based on this info:
1. Murder mystery……. here are some possible candidates, in no particular order:
—— Cassiel's disappearance has been long discussed since Wundersmith, I feel like him being an important part of Silverborn could tie into both a lot of confirmed things we know and a lot of theorized things.
—— I've been holding onto the theme of mothers in this book ever since this interview and the general description of the book being about Mog's backstory. Her mom's death is mysterious. That is all.
—— Morrigan will be working with Squall and likely learning more about Wundersmiths and their history... with Courage Square, they're like one big murder mystery tbh
—— @shdwycupcake shared a theory about Queen Cal being the one to die, which I think could be very interesting. She's one of the signatories on Mog's safeguard, which we're supposed to learn more about. There's theories about Mog having a royal background through her mom, which could be interesting if true. Hollowpox started to delve into the politics of the world, so it could be interesting to see that continue.
2. Ogden-on-Juro / The Silver District
Exploring this part of Nevermoor has been the most theorized thing since the book was announced, I think most folks have checked out the Silverborn Masterpost, I'm not sure if there's anything left for me to say lol.
3. Just searching “silver” and also referencing my Silverborn Masterpost, here are some notable references of silver in Wundersmith that I believe may possibly be clues for the meaning of “silverborn”:
— Silver as a connection to Celestials
—— There's other silver references in the other books that I like to tie to the Celestials, but Jupiter recieves a note "sealed with silver wax" from them in this book, which makes me think that the color could signal Celestial connection
—— Again, I think everyone and their mom has theorized about any and all connection with the Silver District, so I will leave it at that
— The silver thread Witnesses see
—— Silver seems to relate to desire to be home or elsewhere in Wundersmith and the past / identity in Hollowpox..... if this doesn't sound like Mog's status in this book, idk what does. One might even say she was born feeling this way..... jk jk
If anyone has any of their own thoughts on what I share here or anything else on the info post, I'd love to hear it! And if folks are rereading and theorizing leading up to Silverborn, I'd love to hear any and every thought that you think I should add to the Silverborn Masterpost. Since it's almost like every theory folks have, I can't wait to look back on it once the book finally releases to see how much we did (and didn't) get right lol
