@sorinethemastermind This is Runaan to Ethari prove me wrong.

Guy who has heard other guys refer to their wives as "ball and chain" and "battle-axe" and wrongfully assumed you can refer to your wife as any medieval weapon: oh there's my beautiful Lucerne hammer

Ruthari commission for Karne Jan (Insta)

always double happiness when you get commissioned for cool characters who also happen to be your favorite elves ☺️

[rainstormdoodles]

I love the ruthari kiss scene so much but I always giggle at the fact that the rest of the assassins there don't move an inch

Like help why does no one give af??? 😭😭

[scrimblo-soab]

I swear to god now that Runaan is out of his magic coin if we don’t get a scene where Ethari and Runaan get to see each other again the writers better be shivering their timbers

[moondustgleam]

I need everyone to know that when Rayla revives Runaan in the Xadia game, she says, "On your feet, old man"

[vienna91938281]

Is anyone else really disappointed that Runaan came back just fine? Like, I wanted him to come back on the brink of death, arm about to fall off, bruised and bloody and malnourished/dehydrated after days with no food or water. I wanted Rayla to have an “oh shit” moment and a lot of guilt about that. It would have been a good way to address the fact that Runaan was imprisoned, starved (by himself but still) and literally tortured in a dungeon for days before he died/got coined.

An Assassin Analysis

I was honestly not expecting to see Ram, Skor, Callisto, and Andromeda again. I thought that their role in the story had ended in Season One, but I especially thought that after their souls passed on in Through the Moon.

When Rayla first went through the portal at the Moon Nexus she encountered them; something that was surprising to me. I had assumed that they, not turned into coins or held in limbo by Aaravos, would simply have passed on. But we discovered in the comic that their spirits were not at peace;

After seeing that the binding was gone from Rayla's wrist, they assumed that meant she had completed their mission and killed Ezran. They vanished before she was able correct them. I took this as them passing on in peace once they believed that their mission had been completed.

So why, now, are we seeing them again?

"The Keeper has a secret." That is what the Instagram post with the new screen shots says. So... are the assassins connected to The Keeper's secret?

Based on the Moon arcanum's relationship with the afterlife, death, and the thin line between reality and illusion, my first thought is that The Keeper is some sort of "Keeper of Souls". But that doesn't make sense, because I don't think that Ram, Skor, Callisto, and Andromeda are going to come back. I think that this is an illusion of them. Or, at most, their spirits being called back to speak one final time (maybe my theory can be correct).

I don't think that they're really there, and I don't think that they'll be brought back from death.

In the image, we see them holding out their hands as if to cup one of the metal lotuses that Ethari made, though they're empty.

And beyond that, I feel like what Rayla is standing in with them could be the pool of water in the Silvergrove, where said lotuses are placed.

One theory I have is that Rayla is in a sort of "trial" to have her status as a Ghost removed. But there are many more options.

Whatever the case, this makes me think that we will definitely be seeing the Silvergrove again. But does that mean that Runaan and Rayla are going to go off on a solo mission while Callum heads to Katolis?

Another option is that, if my theory is correct and The Keeper does have a connection to the afterlife, they could potentially use him to commune with the spirit of those that originally put Aaravos away; learning the whereabouts of the Nova Blade.

So maybe they go to the Silvergrove for help, and to reunite Runaan and Ethari, but before The Keeper will help them Rayla must face what happened back in Season One and her status amongst the elves there as a Ghost.

RUNAAN IS FREED!!!

[theboredasexual]

Be Runaan

Go on a mission across the world to kill the king and crown prince of Katolis

Your daughter rats you out

You send her home to the Silvergrove so she doesnt die along with everyone else

She ignores you.

She goes to the castle

She betrays the whole team and indirectly gets them all killed, all to save the two princes, one of which you came here to kill

You kill the king, despite all odds, but get captured and put in a magical coin between life and death.

Fast forward two years.

Your daughter rescues you with the help of the son of the man you killed.

They are now dating.

You are the murderer of your future son in law's father.

What the fuck.
