If magic demands balance on both sides between riders and Venin… what if General Melgren is the other Venin traitor…

"I’m the only one who can give you access to your son."

"I have another."

We know that there is another traitor hidden in our midst.

"Initiates, asims—we're all traceable to one another, but the great hall could fill with Sages and Mavens and I'd never know. Neither would you. Makes you wonder who's been channeling here for years, doesn't it? Who's been trading information for power?"

Rebecca has made a point of telling us that there could be a very powerful Venin and we would all be completely unaware.

"She's their answer to my mother."

"She was the answer to me," Theophanie hisses.

But this biggest point is the fact that Aaric is a precog… seeing as that’s a pretty rare power, what are the odds that magic demands no balance there? Allows two to exist on one side?

That suddenly another one appears for no reason, right now (when we know signets are based on need and frequently filling gaps)… among a group of first years that already has proof of this very action with Lynx becoming a shadow wielder, as Xaden becomes Venin.

"I don't understand. You're our generation's shadow wielder."

"Not anymore. Magic knows. He's the balance."

What if Aaric is the balance, because Melgren is the Venin.

Iron flame and Onyx storm spoilers/ theory

Idk if you can actually call it a theory because it’s sort of confirmed to an extent and anything I have to add might just make me sound illiterate but oh well…

Anyways I was rereading iron flame and noticed this line from one of the assembly peoples with the cadets arrive at Aretia

And I know it’s been confirmed that a large part of the rebellion kids have second signets. But the OG theory was that it’s through their relics, but onyx storm xaden says it’s because many of the dragons bonded descendants.

But this person says rebellion signets instead of relics being the thing that hides them… and personally that just makes me think that all of them have second signets and it actually is through their relics.

Maybe Tairn can't take Codagh on his own, but the combination of Tairn and Sgeayl could take him out easily. Plus they've alao got Andarna on their side.

[idontreallyknow26]

So whats up with Codagh being a double agent. He was the one to give the marked ones their cutesy little tattoos and he gave them protection from his own riders signet? Whats up with that

[dragons-library]

As much as I wanna believe everything will be fine

There’s no way we won’t get a fight between Tairn and Codagh.

Fourth Wing Theory *Spoilers*

If you choose to keep reading, you are at risk for major Fourth Wing Spoilers. You have been warned, but I beg of thee, do NOT ruin it for yourself. It is too good.

As we know, General Melgren's dragon, Codagh, marked all the rebellion kids (AKA, the marked ones). Now, there is another theory (not mine) that the marked ones have two signets. I have thoughts to add.

I believe that Codagh knows what is happening outside Navarre's boarder. Truthfully, I think all the dragons know, and that's part of why not as many are willing to bound. But that is a side note for another post.

As we have seen, the dragons names correlate with the signet their rider develops (thus fair, at least.)

General Melgren - Ability to see the end of the battle (Codagh means War)

Violet - Lightening (Tairneanach means Thunder)

Xaden- Shadow Wielder (Sgaeyl means Shadow)

Liam- Farsighted (and ice) (Deigh means Ice)

If Codagh knows what is going on outside the wards, outside Navarre, and disagrees... I think it is reasonable to assume that he intended, because their is no way a dragon this powerful would make such a critical mistake, for the marked ones to be able to draw power from their rebellion relic. Like, I don't know, a second signet, maybe? I also think that Codagh intended for this relics to interrupt General Melgren's ability to see the end of a battle if three or more are together because the rebellion isn't over.

The humans are the pets, the dragons are the leaders. The dragons are calling all the shots, the humans just think they get a say.

Let me what you think! I have plenty of other ideas/theories I am happy to share if you are interested.

Fourth Wing: Codagh

General Melgren's black swordtail and the largest dragon in the Empyrean, Codagh! I haven't seen any art of him so I figured I'd make a lil' portrait of him.
