Dangerous Secrets

Iduna's Vision

"I turn back to the water, desperate for another look. But the girl is now gone, too. In her place stand two women. One dressed in a glowing white gown with white-blond hair tumbling down her back. The other—a redhead —clothed in rich greens and blacks and purples, with a familiar-looking crown atop her head. Both women are smiling.

Smiling at each other.

My breath hitches. Tears well in my eyes. Could it be? Could these two beautiful women really be my daughters? Not as they are now…but as they will be?"

-Iduna

Another Dangerous Secrets fan art, Iduna's vision, I know Anna must have been dressed like a queen, but I love this outfit and had to draw her like that ✨

What I learned from Dangerous Secrets

Warning: while I focus on franchise and not on plot, obviously there will be spoilers.

Northuldra

* Unfortunately there is very little info about Northuldra. The book confirms what we more or less know from the movie: Northuldra consist of many independent groups with similar way of living, egalitarian, with a council of elders as informal leaders, peaceful. They don't have magic, but use help of spirits in a daily life.

* Yelana (this is how her name is written in the book) is mentioned as a person who knows Iduna, but it's never said exactly what kind of relation is between these two. Most likely Yelana is kind of a mentor to young Iduna

*Iduna is not related to the tribe she lives with. When she was five years old her own group was annihilated by unspecified invaders, with her as only survivor, found and adopted by another Northuldra group she is with until the battle of the dam.

*Iduna's shawl was made for her by her mother when she was born and is the only thing she has to remember her parents.

*Ice Harvesters are specifically said to be not a part of Northuldra even if they have similar clothes and customs

Spirits

* all spirits: Gale, Bruni, Nokk and Earth Giants are mentioned by name, Iduna knows them well

* all spirits are locked inside the mist and can't get outside. When Iduna already living in Arendelle almost frezes to death she has a vision of Gale showing her a shelter and Bruni helping her to lit a fire, but it's unclear if it's real, or her mind is playing games or it's a vision sent by yet another force.

*Ahtohallan is called the mother of all spirits. Northuldra elders know her location, but such knowledge is not shared with everybody. It looks like unlike spirits, Ahtohallan location is probably outside of the mist

*It looks like Ahtohallan can not only see the future, but can give visions of it to those she chooses

*The Fifth Spirit is never mentioned

Trolls

*it looks like trolls are much more popular among people than we thought. Not only Ice Harvesters know about them and go to them to ask for aid, queen Rita, Agnarr's mother also knew where she can find them

*the book confirms that Pabbie can erase any chosen memories on demand

*Pabbie can also see a future in Northern Lights, he can look for any specific person or events. Unlike in the movies where what he shows looks like a suggestion of the future that can be changed, in the book a future he sees is not changeable.

*Bulda has an ultrasound in her hands ;)

Arendelle

* the book confirms that Arendelle is an absolute monarchy, but gives it a council and when Agnarr is underaged - a regent of a name Lord Peterssen (yes, the same Jen Lee mentioned back then)

* unfortunately the book isn't any more clear about how Arendelle old is. From such words of Lord Petersen “That is what your father did. And his father before him. That is what kings do to protect their people. And this is what you must do now.” it looks like Runeard was not a first king. A few paragraphs later it's confirmed by Agnarr showing Iduna painings of his ancetors (great-great-great-grandfather Eric and co.) - another hint of long history of Arendelle, but right after that he mentions that plans of the dam were drawn long before he was born, when his father and his people first arrived in Arendelle. After some moments we jump again to descriptions of the castle and things in it as old or even ancient and we learn that the Arendelle community have some customs that seem to have long tradition.

*all castle staff we know from movies and books (Kai, Gerda, Olina, Miss Larsen etc.) is already there when Agnarr is a kid, with the same duties we see them doing in Elsa and Anna's time. Gerda works long enough to know queen Rita, Agnarr's mother.

Trivia

*when book starts, with a battle of the dam, Iduna is 12 years old and Agnarr is 14 years old

*It takes one day trip from Arendelle to reach the wall of fog. Such trips are made every six months, first by Iduna and Agnarr then by scouts to check on the fog

*chocolate is already in bars when Iduna is a kid

*sir Jorgen Bjorgen was made by queen Rita for his son. Later Agnarr gave it to Elsa, after the accident

*Kjekk, Anna's horse belonged to Iduna. It was a gift from a farmer.

*carrots seem to be widely available, even Northuldra feed their reindeers with them

*The Little Mermaid - Agnarr reads this newly published book when he is 18

*a secret room exists. The entrance is in the castle's library, behind a bookcase and opens after moving a statue of Water Nokk. The description of the secret room suggests that it's very old, with books that "looked like they’d been in there, gathering dust, for a thousand years", ancient scrolls and maps. Runeard used it, later it was found accidentally by Iduna and Agnarr. They used it too.

*there are other secret passages in the castle

*Iduna was taught to read by her mother from one book she had. Arendellians that were building the dam brought books with them, often with tales about princesses.

*the book shows baby Elsa using ice powers very skilfully from the first moment she revealed that she has magic

*when young, Agnarr loves to sleep in

*Iduna tells Agnarr that she is Northuldra only a few weeks before their sea voyage.

Happy Dangerous Secrets day!! ✨🍂🍃Wanted to draw a little thank you gift for @marimancusi! (And the agduna fandom) This was based of the silhouette drawn by Bill Shwab for one of the cover concepts. Hope you guys like it! :D

Look what the mailman just brought me. I still can't believe it!

I opened my Disneystore play figure set for the very first time especially for the photos. But it was worth it. I thought, the book of @marimancusi​ needed some company for this purpose ;-)
