HOLY SHIT!
Ok, so I’m at work, minding my own business, when suddenly completely out of the fucking blue comes this thought:
The Opal Territory is the land of cryptids.
Think about it. The land of Deltora has got some weird shit, but the weirdest shit seems to come out of the Opal Territory. Like Steven and Nevets, their mother the Queen Bee (I can’t remember if that’s her name, it’s been so long since I’ve read the books), the psychic triplets.
ALL OF THEM, were born in the Opal Territory.
Even Fidelis acknowledges this. Like when Steven and Nevets show up, he’s like woah, wtf are those guys. But then Lief says they’re from the plains, and he’s just like, “Oh, yeah that makes sense. Opal Territory produces some weird shit.” He’s been asleep for years! That means this isn’t a recent thing, this has been going on for centuries! What the fuck is up with the Opal territory.
Sorry for how incoherent and weird this whole post is. The thought just completely blindsided me, cause I haven’t really thought of Deltora Quest in months, maybe years. Now it’s opened the floodgates, so expect some more ideas and headcanons.
