#arcana twilight theory

[sleepytwilight]

Theory #1

Spotlight: Sirrah and Alpheratz

Remember when Spica's butler said this? Has no one thought it weird?

Sirrah is Polaris lover. The first to imprint to Polaris yet, Alpheratz was Sirrah.

Polaris was still there when Alpheratz is a kid.

You probably think, "Maybe Sirrah died first?"

Nope, Sirrah was there to watch Polaris turned into a monster. Polaris died and Sirrah is there to witness his death.

Entry I

The memories got alternated because of Sirius using the forbidden magic, time magic. It could have messed with everyone memories.

Though, there's lack of evidence because Spica said he was saved by Polaris from drowning. If the memories did got alternated and Polaris already dead at that time, who the hell saved Spica and Alpheratz.

Entry II

Alpheratz might as well died from drowning.

Though I don't support my first theory

Entry III

Sacrifice.

Sirrah death was never mentioned, he was chosen by the constellation so he can't age.

Schedar knew Summoner was Polaris... He might as well knew Sirrah and Polaris were a thing.

Storytaco did follow the Greek story *cough* Pollux *Cough* Castor. Who knows they might as well follows the old urban legend. (There was a story I once heard about a mother killed her own son to bring back her husband to life by letting her husband be in her son's body...)

Anyway... As I was saying, knowing Alpheratz personality, he did mention he don't like Polaris sacrifice thing and think sacrifice for other people are just a pain.

If Sirrah actually died after Polaris death, Schedar might had to sacrifice his own grandson so Sirrah the sorcerer of Pegasus can live again.

He makes sure Sirrah won't remember this sacrifice... Yet Alpheratz always feel hinted of disgusted when it come to Schedar.

Also to the anon who gave me Mama's boy theory, THANK YOU IT WAS SO GOOD- I'll reply to it later okay?

(Analysis?) Summoner(MC) returning to home-world

“We’ll help you return to your home world……or not?”

The ArTw boys and their views about sending Summoner back home analysis(?). It's more like a rant but here we go.

Disclaimer, i wrote this at 1 in the morning so i may have left out more things i got to say and i’ll probably add them later but have this for now-

SPOILER ALERT

·̩̩̥͙���•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙˚　　˚•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙˚＊·̩̩̥͙

I’ll use Summoner’s canon official name here- “Lee Dam”/”Dam(i)”(first name) bc it’s convenient ✩

So as far as we've established, Lee Dam is from Mid-Eartheim or at least that’s what people around her conclude. Later in the story, they even suspect that Dami is not from another world at all.

But here, we’ll go with our main boys’ perspective.

When it comes to sending Lee Dam home, the boys seem to have separate opinions.

🐑Arcturus above all seems to be very keen and persistent in Dami returning back to her world. He’s the first one of the boys to promise her a safe return home and not only that, he’s the only one who keeps on insisting on this promise for the first few chapters of the story to the point where he’s the only sorcerer with a voice line in home screen who once again promises her to find her way back and asking her to trust him.

I, at first was like yeah Arcky being helpful lil bean like he is but is he really? That’s what I thought after progressing throughout the story. Arcky looks like one of the purest guy ever but later as we move on in main story, he seems somewhat shady. My theory is that he is hiding the fact that he knows or even better remembers something that others don’t.

Y’know the Void organization thing going on? I suspect Arcky of having something to do with The Void. But when there’s discussion of Void, he says that he’s been curious about it and has no idea what it is. Although I would like to believe him, I have this teeny tiny feeling he’s pretending OR he forgot and remembers only fragments of those memories related to Void.

In a library scene,  he clearly sighs and seems relieved after he says that info about Void is top secret.

Further on, when things are still tense and even Schedar orders that Dami should be guarded even more than before, the always over-worrying Arcky is careless and invites Dami over to grab snacks outside knowing full well he is supposed to be extra careful. And he doesn’t even sense that someone is following them at all? This seems far too careless even for someone as clumsy as Arcky.

Vega even reminds Arcky later on about this mistake and states the duo was being followed. That he should’ve consulted with others before doing anything. Vega requested for an urgent summon by Dami’s side and his voice in the call seems to be audibly restless hinting it was no small matter.

Maybe Arcky just absent-mindedly did that or maybe he didn’t.

I cannot be sure here but Arcky in my opinion seems to have a motive other than being simply helpful to Lee Dam find her way back. He’s more consistent about this matter than anyone, almost as if he thinks she needs to go back. She shouldn’t be here.

Again, i’m not sure but we’ll see how it plays out. But one thing I’m certain is that he doesn’t truly wish for Dami to get hurt or at least that’s what I like to believe. He cares for her genuinely.

♊Pollux is a confusing one for me. He seems kinda neutral on the matter. But my conclusion is that he doesn’t like the thought of Dami returning back. Despite saying “i don’t make friends easily” in their first meeting, Pollux actually is the one who initiates their friendship. Saving a seat for her, texting her lecture materials, helping her out, etc. He even grows protective of her later on and continuously suspects Sirius, his clan fellow when it comes to Dami.

But hey, nobody rlly trusts Sirius so understandable. And with this growing closeness, Pollux would rather not part with Lee Dam but i feel like if he’s told it’s for her safety & well-being, he would let her go for her good.(cue some crying and stubbornness)

🐨🐺Listen I may sound crazy but in this matter Alpheratz and Sirius are quite similar. In one side, there’s Alpheratz continuously suggesting Lee Dam to not get herself involved in all of this, and on another, we have Sirius always warning Dami to not see, respond, or hear to the entity appearing in her consciousness time and again. Although both have not clearly revealed their say on our summoner’s return to mid-eartheim, I feel that they think it’s better to leave and go back to her normal world. A world where she won’t have to worry about being targeted every 5 seconds.

Alpharetz indirectly expressing that he would rather she return to her world by always insisting Lee Dam to not tag along with the guides to their dangerous trips and his affection level going up when Dami chooses to stay behind.

Sirius closing her eyes and ears every time it feels like Dami is again in contact with the giant eye and the entity, and warning her to not come to the tower when she does. Him texting her that he prays she leaves before matters get worse.

Sirius is confusing, he involves her and initiates danger but still protects her and says he would rather like it if she isn’t included in all that chaos. BUT after reading floor 11, I have a feeling Alpheratz changed his mind a bit? It’s more like, she’s someone i’ve wished for years and years– since the previous timeline so I’m reluctant to lose her again, that’s why I’d rather give my all to keep her safe this time no matter what.

❄️Vega, oh Vega, my sweet lil snowball. I’ll say that he’s conflicted. There are many assumptions in my mind about him. It’ll be so freaking hard for him to let go of Dami, his childhood sweetheart who he waited an entire decade and more for. Will he let go of someone who he spent his lifetime waiting for? Hard to say but maybe yes. Vega is selfless and wants her to be safe above anything else.

He also says that he is sick of seeing Dami be involved with this world and its dangers that she doesn’t deserve. He might side with Alpheratz slightly. He doesn’t want to let go of her but at the same time, he would rather have her be happy than see her get hurt and lose her forever. Or even better, he leaves with her since they’re both from Mid-Eartheim. After all, Vega spent his entire lifetime awaiting one star and that's Lee Dam and only Lee Dam, no one else.

♍Have you noticed that Spica’s the only one who has never stated that he wishes Lee Dam to return and not be involved with Bound Arlyn’s crisis? Yes, some other guys haven’t either but have you noticed he’s rather opposite to wanting her to return? He advises Arcky to not keep false promises like sending her home. He’s also continuously shown to want Dami to join them when they plan to go on a field trip(visit) and actively invites her to potentially dangerous places.

He does not have any malicious intentions but instead, from what I see, I’m rather suggesting that Spica wants Dami to adapt to her new life completely and continue as a summoner. He’s always keen when it comes to discussing Lee Dam’s potential as a sorcerer and even asking her if she wants to become a constellation’s choice. Imo, Spica wants Dami to get better in her school activities and use her power for the betterment and protection of the world. HOWEVER remembering that sus lil conversation he shared with our local shady man who's trusted by no one in the banquet, i have doubts on Spica too. (basically, i doubt 3/6 of these men bc otoges have taught me better than to trust someone even if they are love interests)

To put in small words, let me categorise them-

“I want you to return back”

-Arcturus

“It’s better to go back”

-Alpheratz, Sirius, Vega(?)

“I don’t want you to but it can’t be helped”

-Pollux, Vega(?)

“Would you like to stay instead?”

-Spica

The following pics kinda summarise my thoughts(?)

·̩̩̥͙＊•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙˚　　˚•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙˚＊·̩̩̥͙

anyways thanks if you read until here, i just wrote this for fun and none of these are facts but rather my silly little venting bc the plot is just too good.

Here's a bonus: our local shady war criminal as Florida man news headlines

he would do this.

[artsyham]

I can't help but wonder what the Towers of Balbili seemingly being a reference to the Tower of Babel means in the grand scheme of the story of Arcana Twilight. Balbili seems to come from the Akkadian name for Babylon.

For those who don't know the Tower of Babel is from the book of Genesis in the Old Testament. It is a narrative meant to explain the origin of different languages.

The people of earth had a single language. People in the city of Babylon sought to create a tower that reached the heavens (I believe in an effort to show they were as great as God and no longer needed Him??). This was meant to be a symbol of their self sufficiency. The Lord seeing this, sought to prevent further construction of the tower by scrambling the tongues of those working so that they would no longer understand each other and thus scattering the populace amongst the land.

So what is the point the devs are making by naming the towers after the tower of babel?

Is it just a way to hint to us that they are unholy and "unnatural"?

What does it mean that Sirius wants to destroy them?

The constellations seem like they would fit the allegory of "God" in this scenario. And Sirius seems to be destroying the towers to go against the constellations. So is the story just reversed? Instead of man building the towers in an act of defiance, they’re being destroyed in defiance?

I have absolutely no clue.

I have been wracking my brain about this recently and still don't have any idea what this means...

[bluem00n007]

SPOILERS FOR LESSON 9

Now then, when castor says, "Be afraid of the sorcerer who knows nothing", I feel like he is talking about arcturus, because

Spica points out how something that should have been common knowledge was not known by Arcturus, Poll was there who didn't know either, that should have worked fine enough for exposition and lore explaination

Vega thinks Arcky has had his memories tampered with, as he can only remember young Vega, that explains why he thinks it's his fault Vega is still stuck here too, if he had remembered Summoner he would know it wasn't his fault

Very oddly his first thoughts were that Summoner's memories had been tampered with after they wake up, but he also says that they might be covering up for someone? Man was play 4D chess in 4 seconds, seems a bit odd how the character most suspected for a memory loss is also the one to point it out huh, at least to me

So what do you guys think?

[lala1236]

Summoners!!!!!!!!

So...it's me again and I want to encourage our enthusiastic fandom to keep creating more content for artw, even if Storytaco keeps starving us of content! I encourage everyone to create edits, make more bots on Chai and characterai and write fan fiction! We can't die yet!!!!

ARCANA TWILIGHT ENTHUSIAST WE RISE!!

WE ARE SO BACK OMG, I'M GOING INSANE. IT'S 12TH FLOOR SOON, THE ANGST- I CAN FEEL IT COMING

[bittersweetcanary]

Artw Sirius the Monster Theory

Spoilers for floor 12!! Read at your own peril O-O lol

Floor 8 Stage 17/20 - Funny Play

Sirius not so subtly drops a theater ticket in front of the Summoner, whether or not you hand it to him he ticket or bring attention to it Sirius asks you to attend it with him.

I believe this was staged, I think he wrote the play. A hit to who he is and who the summoner was. Foretelling of the story to come on floor 12.

The Great Sorcerer is Polaris who falls in love with the Star, Sirius, who becomes a Sorcerer and Monster in his attempt to save Polaris after they made a deal with every door, their magic drained to the point of freezing over.

Sirius refuses to tell everyone his wish when Pollux remembers a fable, a tale that

In the game I read that people born of stars have eyes like rainbows, like Sirius, I think Arcturus said that. Arcturus knows a lot but it's always spoken as fables and tales children would be told.

Sirius, the Monster, sees Polaris as his hero. Craved Polaris. Refuses to let Polaris die, willing to destroy himself, and the world, to save his hero, the one he desires.

I believe Sirius looks to destroy all the towers in an attempt to break the contract Polaris made with the void that drained them of their mana, leaving Polaris vulnerable enough for the void to attempt to kill them to remove a key individual in what is keeping it from destroying the world, Boundarlyn.

In the chat locked behind keys with Sirius, the Summoner is stuck in a labyrinth controlled by an unknown Sorcerer's Familiar's spirit that acts by the will of its Sorcerer. Sirius had been following the Summoner when this happened.

Sirius begins to tell the Summoner a story, "Through the Labyrinth".

He goes on to state "It is about a hero who kills a trapped monster in a labyrinth and escapes following the thread."

The Summoner has an option to reply with "Are you the monster?"

He mentions later "What do you think the monster thought of the whole time it was trapped in the labyrinth?" "It might have tried to hide its true identity and become good friends with the hero to get out."

Ending the Chat with "Your monster is here to show you gratitude."

The call "A Guides Pick-up", I believe is related to this. Sirius mentions "Something could disguise itself as someone you know and approach you... Or trap you in a maze of terrible memories.

I think Polaris, the Hero, saved Sirius, the Star-Stuck Monster from a labyrinth of terrible memories, though that may not be so literal. It could mean Sirius was at an all-time mental low, simply putting it. Polaris found him, and took him in, someone who looked innocent and alone. But Sirius sees himself as a monster in disguise.

Sirius tells the Summoner not to trust himself, or the others quite frequently.

The Monster grew to love the Hero, wanting all of their attention and love. To the point the Monster would destroy everything just to keep his beloved alive, even himself. Sirius, the Monster couldn't accept that someone so lovely, the Hero Polaris, would love someone so dark.

The Monster both wanted and desired the Hero but could never let himself truly be theirs as he doesn't believe he is worthy? Even when the Hero reciprocated those feelings he couldn't allow himself to trust or be trusted,

I think Sirius wanted the Summoner to remember, to know, to say something but sadly for him the Summoner isn't Polaris anymore...

Also, at the end of the call that is related to the labyrinth, Sirius asks where the Summoner is and then says "This Sirius will meet you there". It seems he is insinuating that there are others, of himself. Do others hide as Sirius or does he fear the Dark Sorcerers may use his or the other's image to take the Summoner away? For example, Castor. Though I haven't read anything that would suggest he has masqueraded as Pollux that could happen. As we learn later in the story it seems Castor thinks he and the Summoner have some sort of relationship that Pollux is in getting in-between, has he hidden at Pollux before? Did he do something with the Summoner as Pollux? Maybe.

[lemme-just-oops]

how would arcana twilight would react to mx has a big hatred for their mom and their older sibling causing them wanting to stay instead of going back because they felt more free and happier.

Alpheratz: At first he believes your situation is similar to what he feels about his grandfather, but he notes that your experiences cannot be compared at all. Prepare for him to make light hearted comments about families simply being awful. He understands and promises that you will never regret your decision.

Arcturus: Hate is such a strong word and he believes that your opinion will change. After all, they are your family. And family is important. To him, it is a shock that your opinion never seems to change. But he will accept it. If you are okay with it, he will call himself your older brother, so you still have a family.

Pollux: The reason why you stay was not comprehended. All he comprehended is that you stay and he must celebrate it. Takes you out constantly to show you all around the new home! He even begins learning a little bit of history just to surprise you with his knowledge sometimes (and to brag that he is smarter than people tend to say). But when he becomes aware of the reason through someone else's mouth, he is confused. But does not mention it because he knows how sensitive the topic of a family can be.

Sirius: It is not uncommon for sorcerers to abandon their families. This has many reasons, mostly because they do not want to watch their families die while they are forever youthful. So, he is not shocked that you prefer staying, but surprised by your reasoning. Questions you about this topic just to notice how deep the resentment lies. Sometimes he tries to guess random aspects or situations from your childhood, and the guesses are scary accurate.

Spica: He understands that he has no say in your decision and will not try to change it either. Yet, he still needs to ask you if you are willing to help him find a way to create portals. More people could find themselves in situations where they travel through dimensions and he wants to be prepared for when it happens again. When you talk about your family, he may offer a neutral opinion. And if you ever create a portal back, he would like to have "a little talk" with your family. No, you will never know what he told them.

Vega: He had to learn how to be independent very early on, which is why he seems to not be close friends with anyone. He is happy about you staying, but if he ever got the chance to make your family regret how they treated you, he would not hesitate. Might even learn a new kind of magic and give them eldritch horror illusions. But ve wants you to know that he is there for you. Though he cannot offer advice, your situation is heavy and if the only way for him to help is by listening, he will stay awake for days just to take the weight from your heart for a bit.

[mmpookie]

uhh arcana twilight inktober day 7: Void

also guys... this is from floor 5... do ya'll think that Arcturus was actually helping out the Void more than we thought or am I crazy 😭I can't tell if this is confirmed but my personal theory is that the void cult specifically poisoned arcturus at the banquet to put him under their influnce, and he'd then help them operate and report info about mc so that they could plan accordingly, also hence his random headaches (they never elaborate on this line again so there's really no other implication... which is crazy)

[cuddlybelphie]

Idk, I get how people interpreted this as Spica talking to us but I immediately knew he was talking to Sirius

I find it funny, but I can understand how people might've mistakened it as that lol

Spoilers for floor 13 ‼️

What Spica said was directed at Sirius because of this

|

V

Anyway, this was just some nonsensical babbling, I'm not making fun of you guys ;; you all worried me though, almost had me thinking that Spica may have said that to us.. But Sirius is the antagonist - unless... Like someone's theory, we could've been a traitor too??

I don't think I could take a plot twist like that though.

I haven't finished floor thirteen just yet, but I wanna talk about this scene for some reason.

On another note, them stating that it's the last story for the sorcerers.. Either things go well, and we move onto season two of Arcana Twilight or...

The worst of the worst might come true ☹️

I DON'T WANT IT TO BE THE LAST FLOOR. PLEASE, CONTINUE THE STORY, THIS CAN'T BE IT, RIGHT?? I'm gonna throw up and cry if that's the case.

[llolian]

the lack of arcana twilight content is making me focus on narrative crumbs because there are so many unanswered questions and I am a whore for history and lore. to those who have any theories out there, feel free to share as food for thought!

first off, the questions Sirius fed us:

Why is Bound Arlyn governed by constellations?

Why do the sorcerers pledge allegiance to them?

Why do monsters keep trying to invade this dimension?

but wait, those are only the big three. Looking into the finer details, there are more mysteries.

What is the universe trying to correct?

What exactly is the untold legacy of Bound Arlyn's Towers?

Is the Great Sorcerer Polaris still alive?

Was/Is Polaris as noble and heroic as others make him out to be?

Who is Debris?

What connection does our Shepard, Arcturus, have with the Void Cult's leader, “The Shepard” ?

Who is Sirius?

Is he the 1st Sorcerer of Canis Major? The Traitor of Bound Arlyn? An obviously pivotal character who knows more that he tells? A bastard? A hottie?

And of course, where do we fit in the grand scheme of things? What role does the Summoner play in this story? Where did our summoning abilities come from? Who are we?

I've always found it strange than our mascot is a bear, and our icon is Ursa Minor – which is Polaris's constellation. Add in the fact that we already have imprints of the main cast when this is seemingly the first time we've met.

Here's a bonus question that in my opinion, is the most crucial and curious one.

What was the promise, the contract that we made?

[agnessa190401]

Sirius threatening Vega.

To be fair, Sirius is no doubt in love with you first as the timeline itself indicates that you've been around before you were even born as Vega's childhood friend.
