In regards to the Crowley-Raverne theory, theories related to amnesia or memory magic are quite popular: usually revolving around the mask Crowley wears. It does make sense, since it���s such a unique part of his design that is never removed or hardly even mentioned. And now, there’s even more mystery regarding Crowley, as there are question marks for his age, birthday, birth place, and student club. Is it out of mystery? Or does he simply not know himself?

However, there are these particular lines from Book 6 that make me think there’s a different possibility (heavily related to this past Raverne-Styx theory I wrote. Lmao literally just saying the same thing just from a different angle)

How does Idia, and STYX, know so much about how the River Lethe work on fae? Knowledge and certainty of the sciences take countless trials and errors, often from the result of unethical experimentation. STYX as of the modern day is presented as a rather positive and somewhat ethical group, but I don’t believe that’s always been the case with the organization.

What we know: the River Lethe can work on fae as powerful as Malleus Draconia. The Lethe needs to be adjusted for fae. If not, it can erase information that long-lived fae would be expected to know

Did STYX have an incident in the past that tampered with a fae’s memories so much, that it had to change how STYX approached the River Lethe system? Did they accidentally erase the memories of a powerful fae- to the point of erasing his entire identity?

STYX and the Shroud Watchmen have been around since the Age of the Gods- even the Draconia family is well aware of their grand influence. They were around during the Briar Land era. And in the era of the Silver Owl’s, humans from other countries were able to get in through the human ports by Cape Sunrise.

Raverne wasn’t the only fae to disappear to the Eastern Fortress/Citadel to deliver Meleanor’s letter- which is NEAR the coast. Team and after team of envoys disappeared without a trace. Not even a sign of their deaths remained in the land, not a mention from the gloating Silver Owls. Were they kidnapped by a third party?

Wen you look at Book 6’s Phantom enemies, we can see foes referencing ONLY monsters from Hercules, and other villains from unmentioned films like the The Sword in the Stone or Robin Hood. But…? The one exception: soldiers resembling Maleficent’s goons, clad in armor and all. Did these phantoms originate from Briar Land soldiers that STYX kidnapped?

Now that the modern day STYX and the Draconia family are on relatively decent terms, having worked together to quell Malleus’ Overblot, how would this relationship fare if it was discovered that STYX had heinous origins? 👁️👁️ If STYX had tampered with not only one of the Draconia royals, but with Malleus’ father himself? It’s a faint possibility that I’m curious by, because this amicable partnership feels almost too good to be true…

Something else that caught my attention was when General Lilia mentioned both Meleanor and Raverne to us in the dream world. When Grim asks who Meleanor is, Sebek is quite outraged! Everyone should know who Meleanor is as the former princess of Briar Land- despite her passing centuries ago.After all, Sebek has read countless of books about Briar Valley's history! He also mentions his grandfather, Baul, has told him a lot of stories about the war time.

But when Lilia mentions Raverne BY NAME, Yuu and crew assumed he was a separate person from the Draconia family. Raverne's role revealed as the Dragoneye Duke, Malleus' father, and as Meleanor's HUSBAND though...even Sebek looked surprised. Did Baul never tell him? Does almost no one remember who Raverne is 👁️👁️
