Something I think abt a lot is regarding the heel turn the Ravinians had on Third Earth, toward the end of book 10, where they deactivate the dados and turn on Saint Dane.

Cause, like… was that reflected across other territories? If so, what would that look like? Like, the biggest example I’ve been thinking of - what’s the state of Quillan now? The book says the Ravinians had power over Blok, and that there were no people left to bet on the games, so if they went through the same arc as they did on Third Earth, where would that leave the territory?

i've thought about this before too! as far as i can tell, the intention is that, without SD's influence, the territories will go back the "they way it was meant to be." i have a few problems with that...

for one, there's no guarantee that the other territories would have the same kind of rebellion that happened on third earth. it's kind of implied that what happened on third earth only did because of what the travelers did first.. so.. are the rest of the territories just out of luck?

maybe a fun post canon au could be about the traveler's next job being trying to help their territories recover from SD :) i don't want this answer to get too long but i will elaborate on my ideas for this au if asked

anyway it's hard to believe that all of the territories could come back from something like ravinia, or that even if they get back to a good place, they won't be changed forever. which is a little sad but most things about solara are. solara has this concept of being as impartial as possible irt the territories/the light, so when the travelers (whose very creation already went against those established rules) defeated SD, ie their job was done, solara pulled them out and decided to continue letting the people of halla write their own futures.
