[a-certain-elf]

I miss Lux Aurea

And now...

[hiccupshypotheticalleftsock]

figuring out timeline stuff in my brain (i think i'm gonna need a piece of paper) and idk if anyone has mentioned this yet BUT

isn't Janai like at least 300-500 years old? this means two things

A: Issues with lifespan in janaya marriage (amaya is like 35, shes got like 60 years left...tops)

B: Karim is also at least 300-500 years old. and still that stupid. what the fuck bro.

So if Mukho can actually save Zubeia's life with his mushroom magic,

that implies that the mushroom magic could be tasked to combat the corruption spreading from downtown Lux Aurea, right? Like real mushrooms that eat toxic waste and radiation?

It might also take 300 years, like the Sun Seed, but not all hope is lost!

Lux Aurea has always been my favourite location in the series, but we never got to go much beyond the palace in S3, so getting to actually go through the streets and see both the ruin and splendour that has befallen it was such a treat.

Whether you love or hate him, (or like most, "are much more appreciative of him in S5 now his story is going somewhere,") Karim has one of the most beautiful designs in the entire show and that is a fact. His entire fit is pure fire. Like honestly, man has DRIP. I hope we get to see it come back at some point soon, I like a bloke in all blacks but DAMN, bring back his original outfit PLEASE. <3

My season five predictions for The Dragon Prince:

1. Callum gets the opportunity to hurt or kill Claudia but Rayla tells him to spare her because she gave her the coins.

2. Aaravos or Viren come to the conclusion that they have to sacrefice Terry but Claudia dies to save him.

3. RUTHARI REUNION!!!

4. Duren and Katolis form an alliance for something (anything) so we get to see Aanya again.

5. Janaya child?

6. Sir Sparklepuff turning into some other creepy monster.

An infected, but wandering librarian still remembers Kazi had to return a book in the Great Bookery before the fall of Lux Aurea.

Honestly shout out to cities that are just a giant walled circle with a big ass tower in the middle. Real life cities need to step up

This is the shit right here. Only Baghdad managed peak city design irl. Modern grid cities wish they had what she has

The Epic of the Void

In Tales of Xadia it was mentioned there is a song called 'The Epic of the Void' about the Startouch Elves in the library in Evenere. Now I wonder why Callum needed to go to Lux Aurea for information. He was the high mage of Katolis for two years. I know he doesn't like dark magic but he did read about dark magic in those years and he did study it so he could approach to the other high mages in the other kingdoms. Having connectioins is important, he could have just ask for help from the other mages to analyze the stuff in Viren's chambers. I know Evenere is in chaos but Callum could still ask their high mage for help and ask her questions. It's seems off he didn't try and get informations and expand his horizons with other mages. Season 5 proves us he did study dark magic even if he never plan to use it, so he should have done it. In the few days between season 4 and 5 Callum should have sent crows to all the high mages in the other kingdoms to find information. I know the Evenere mage doesn't have a reason to tell him about the poem, but he could have tried the other human kingdoms, he had information about Aaravos in the Katolis library the others might have some books as well. Sure, if they also have books about startouch elves the writing could have disappear anyway, but he should have tried it. Maybe the Evenere mage would have approve for him to go and read this poem. I know the poem is not very informative but he could be important like the book with the ocean sonnets. I think this poem will be important, maybe they will go to look for this poem next season and we finally going to see Evenere, there is a reason it was in the Tales of Xadia for sure.

I was under the impression that as Queen, Janai is in charge of the Sunfire Elves as a people and of a certain area of territory, and that territory contains both the abandoned Lux Aurea and the new Sunfire Camp. Like, my understanding is that monarchs don’t normally just preside over a single city, even if that city serves as the seat of power. So since old Lux Aurea still falls within the territory that the Sunfire Kingdom claims, Janai has the right to dictate who is allowed to go there, especially if it’s dangerous. Like, I wouldn’t be allowed to just waltz into a foreign country and have a meander around a disaster zone, like a nuclear fallout area, which Lux Aurea feels very reminiscent of. Someone would stop me, for my own safety at the very least

Yk I've never understood why janai thought she could stop rayllum from going to the bookery in s5. Like they're not her subjects, therefore they're totally out of her jurisdiction and she has no say over their actions whatsoever.

And since Lux Aurea is abandoned, she also has no say over it. She's queen of the sunfire elves and new aurea, not lux.

Like. Girl. I love you so much, but... didja think that through??

The Dragon Prince started off their sibling dynamics with “haha look at these pairs of siblings! How they laugh and tease each other!”

And now its “what if you watched your sibling go down a path you can’t follow. What if your sibling, who once held and cradled you in your darkest moment, turned their back to you. And you still have all this love in heart for them that you dont know what to do with anymore.”
