WIP of Katolis Castle

T-posing Callum for scale

[chocolatecake47]

Maybe with all the craziness that was this season nobody else is thinking about this but like the castle Burned Down. All of Callum’s sketchbooks full of drawings and memories of his mother and family are gone. All of Ezran’s childhood toys are gone. The wall with portraits of the royal family going back generations is gone. The home where Soren, Callum, and Ezran grew up has been burned down. The place where Harrow and Sarai fell in love. The place Ezran was born. The bedroom Callum and Ezran shared throughout their childhoods. The rooms they’ve probably had a million meals in. The gardens they’ve probably spent hours playing in. The last few belongings they had of their dead parents.  The hallway where they met Rayla. 

Houses may just be buildings. But homes are keepers and founders of thousands of memories and feelings and nostalgia and sentimentality and so much attachment. I was praying that a side character wouldn’t die this season, like Aanya or Corvus, but this is just as bad. Because the Castle is BURNED DOWN. GONE. DESTROYED. 

It’s devastating. Loosing your home like that must be utterly devastating. Everything has been lost.

And I cannot stop thinking about all of those sketchbooks that have been filled with millions and millions of Callum’s memories and drawings over years and years of hard work, creativity, and love. Drawings of Ezran growing up. Drawing of his mom and both his dads. Drawings of Bait. Drawings of Rayla. All lost to violence and destruction.

Brittle - a Narrative of Strength theory

We've all seen the explosion in the S6 trailer by now. Something very big is going BOOM.

And I think I know what it is.

See the ledge in the foreground of the above image? See the ridges on the green hills in the distance? We've seen this before.

I think this is the same ledge that Rayla sat on when she tried to cut off her binding ribbon back in S1.

Remember what she could see from that vantage point, in the distance?

In this recent theory post, I compared the Cosmic Order to King Harrow's Narrative of Strength - two versions of the same concept. And ages ago I had fun creating the theory that Harrow's Narrative of Strength is represented by his castle (Banther Lodge = Narrative of Love).

Lads, I've been thinking about Katolis Castle getting destroyed for five years.

I am so very excited right now. Do I still have time to fill Viren's old dungeon with popcorn kernels?

Speculation time: who blows it up, and how does Ezran handle losing all those chains of rulership?

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.”

I know you're worried about Runaan, but Ezran will come around. He's not himself right now. / I could kill you both! But... I'm still nice. I'm still me.

On parle de souvent de Karim pour dire qu'il est rancunier envers Janai mais je trouve que les habitants de Silvergroove sont les plus rancuniers pour ma part. Rayla a ramené Zym avec ses amis à la reine des dragons. Et elle est toujours bannie de son village ?! Ethari semble être le seule qui vient la parler. Mais putain ! J'en ai vu des personnes rancuniers mais pas à ce point là !

Karim is often referred to as holding a grudge against Janai, but I find that the Silvergroove people hold the most grudges. Rayla took Zym and her friends back to the Dragon Queen. And she's still banished from her village?! Ethari seems to be the only one who comes to talk to her. What the hell?! I've seen people hold grudges, but not to this extent!

Me? Crying? Oh, I’m sorry, it’s just “you’re my daughter” got to me

“They’re all my parents” got to me

“Is that Katolis..?” Got to me

“Daddy I’m scared” got to me

“The castle is just a building, we have to save lives” got to me

“Take care of Hat” got to me

“Take my heart” got to me

So, Viren just showed up at Katolis Castle saying he wanted to redeem himself and never thought that telling Ezran his dad was still alive in a bird body would be a good first step...

“Rayla,” she said, meeting Redfeather’s gaze. “My name is Rayla. And I’m going home.” Redfeather sighed. “Oh, you bleeding heart. You can’t go home.” “No. Not there. Somewhere else.” It was foolish to call the faraway castle of Katolis home. She did not belong there. She’d turned her back on it, she’d walked away, and had not earned the right to return. And yet—it was the only place in all of Xadia her heart wanted to go.

"Chasing Shadows" - Part 3

She finally has all her homes back

If I had to guess, I think Callum will immediately fly for Katolis in season 7, but if he is there for Runaan's fuller debrief...

Rayla: So... when I said Ethari was waiting for you, what I meant was, he thinks you're dead and has for the past two years.

Runaan: *pulling on literally the first shirt he can find and scrambling east toward the Silvergrove*

Rayla: ...And I'm Ghosted, and if you try to go home you may be too.

Runaan: *stares at her in horror*

Rayla: But we're not alone! We have Callum! He saved you! He's a ~mage~

(Runaan has not gotten the memo on humans and magic. Callum is also dressed exactly like Viren, and, to Runaan's eyes, looks just like the man who tortured and imprisoned him. Runaan is one wrong move away from snapping)

Callum: Hi, we've met. ...When you broke into our castle... to kill my family...

Runaan:

Callum: Also I pawned your husband's wedding ring and accidentally killed your dog. Is this a bad time to tell you I'm dating your daughter?

Runaan (holding it together only through years of honed self-control): *turns stiffly and walks into the trees. Moments later a flock of birds fly out, disturbed by a completely unrelated scream that rings through the woods*

Crowlord's Tower

Soren's Story via Dragon Plushie

The first time we see the appearance of the dragon plushie, it's at the end of the season two episode "Fire and Fury".

Soren has just battled with Pyrrha, and we learn that it was one of his life goals to slay a dragon. Here we see him as a child playing pretend to do just that.

The next time we see the plushie is in the end credits of the episode "Dragonguard" in season three when he joins Team Zym at the Storm Spire. Here he's hugging the little dragon, and on the wiki it's specified that he is "hugging dragon plush after fighting it in Fire and Fury".

In Season Four we begin to see Soren's toy dragon appearing in the actual show, as seen in Viren's dark magic dream sequence. But it also returns to the end credits. In the Season Four episode "Drakewood" an adult Soren can be seen wearing his pajamas and hugging it to him.

This is the same episode in which Soren befriends his Drake friend and manages to escape the Pit of Despair.

After this, we don't see the plushie again until Season Six, where it appears in Viren's flashback sequence in the episode "Moment of Truth".

We then see, not Soren's plush, but another child's that is very reminiscent of his, in the episode "Well All Fall Down". It is in the arms of a small child, but is dropped as they are forced to flee the burning castle of Katolis. In the end credits, we see it again; charred and discarded in the ruins of the castle.

And again, beside a fallen sword in the rubble.

It might not be Soren's plush, but in an episode that features him so heavily, and especially his relationship with Viren, it feels like it can't have been an accident. Because this is an episode of loss.

His father. His home. His childhood.

Ok so interesting idea at least I think so.

What about a the dragon prince x sagua creator!reader idea?

The reader would be the creator of teyvat and its inhabitants on it, the reader decided to go to another world where the reader isn’t high regarded and didn’t create the world she went to, just to have some fun since she kinda gotten a bit bored with the same old, same old stuff in teyvat and needed a break.

She decided to work in a castle in a kingdom called katolis as nanny to the two princes, then getting a high position once the two princes grew up more to not need a nanny. She became great friends with the king and queen fast which lead to her getting those positions sooner than it probably would.

Viren, the high mage have a bit of rivalry between him and the reader though it’s more one sided as she doesn’t see him as a challenge considering who she is but she loves to tease the man when she can, unknowingly resulting in viren having a bit of attraction for her (I love drama 😂😁😈).

She will stay in katolis as the 3 protagonist go to xadia, mostly because she doesn’t want to ruin the kids fun plus she feels like she is needed in the castle anyway, what she doesn’t know is that she gains many male’s interest while staying in that world.

So what do y’all think? It’s still a work in progress but I would like to hopefully make it into a book or at least do some work of it on here (maybe people request things based on it? I don’t know about doing it on my own as I haven’t been doing stuff on my own considering I keep on switching which fandoms I want to do and end up deleting them and not liking them lol 😂😭), this will most likely have a female reader as I can’t really think of it with a male!reader this time sadly 😭 but that could change maybe? Anyway hope yall like it! I hope yall request for it as I think it’s a fun idea. Anyway hope yall have a wonderful day/evening/night!!

Rereading the Season 1-2 novelizations knowing the one I was most excited for has been canceled
