Insane that they waited till season 7 to inform us that oh yeah btw when the continent was divided the human half was fully as magical as the Xadian half it just got immediately and violently strip mined

[m4rs-ex3]

i guess we never considered this but like sure. astrid has the star arcanum. i mean that makes sense. ok. that is sick

[ac0531]

Did an analysis and got some of the most interesting things Aaron said during this interview!!

“Whatever it unlocks, do you have to be connected or master some arcanum to unlock that? Anyways, I will say that there is a big reveal about the key of Aaravos in season 6”- Aaron

“We have many plans for Terry’s character. He’s a main character and we’ll see a lot of him in seasons 6 and 7. In terms of the meeting story between Terry and Claudia, yes we do have a story in mind but I don’t know how it’s going to get told. Sometimes we’ve talked about a book 3 and a half that’s sort of Claudia’s story that’s focused on the two years Claudia is moving around Xadia trying to solve the problem of saving Viren. You’d also have the story of Rayla hunting for Viren and you might have them cross paths, but yeah during that time you’d see her (Claudia) meet Terry- so we’ve talked about Book 3 and a half as maybe a novel or maybe a movie between season 3 and 4.”- Aaron

“That’s another story we’d love to tell at some point. That story sort of involved her rise from her being an orphan to her becoming the queen of Katolis- part of that story also connects to Aaravos and what happened a few hundred years ago. There is more story after season 7 that is important and I’m actually going to talk about it at SDCC.”- Aaron!

“You’ll learn more about Leola in season 6 and the questions you’ve asked will be answered very clearly.”- Aaron (Goji asked “Who is Leola, if she has a connection to Aaravos and if she’ll play a role in season 6”)

“The two examples that came to mind in your list are one: the symbol on the coins which is also the symbol on the book, and yes it connects to old deep magic and you will see a bit more of that in the coming season.”- Aaron

“And then the second thing you mentioned was the staffs in the starscraper, so I’ll share something a little meaty which is that is where they came from, so the question would be- how did it go from there to Viren? I know we’ve seen the scene with Ziard talking about the staff and it being a gift from a great one but yeah, that (the starscraper) is where it’s from.”- Aaron

“A lot of the origin story on who and why (Aaravos backstory) are going to be revealed in season 6.”- Aaron

“Who is he? What does he want? How has he come to be in a situation where he has somehow been involved in magic passing from Startouch elves and you know the elves and dragons to the humans- what is his involvement in that? Some of those questions will be answered in season 6”- Aaron

When Aaravos mentions the Garden of Innocence, it's familiar to Claudia.

At the end of the graphic novel The Puzzle House, Claudia gets a map that leads her there. Back in S3, we see Viren casting a powerful spell with what turns out to be Claudia's prize from her visit to that Garden.

When Claudia tricks Terry into taking her back there, she has guilt for not telling him everything.

It sounds like she didn't tell her dad, either.

The slow assembly of lore about Claudia and the unicorn has finally reached its conclusion: she didn't kill it, or even capture it. It was already dead.

[bat-snake]

Something something about "is Aaravos a Promethean or Luciferian figure" with the apples....where a human gave HIM an one, not the other way around, as is "Luciferian" tradition.

Day 10: Fave lore

I think it's pretty obvious. Aaravos and Leola lore.

I just think it's the perfect backstory for Aaravos. It's tragic and adds complexity to the question of how Team Zym is gonna stop him. Now that we know his main motive, he doesn't seem like just any other heartless villain. It also gives him so much more to work with in regards to forming bonds with other characters. He and Claudia are definitely gonna trauma bond over the death of both their loved ones. And Leola is absolutely adorable! Sweet angel, taken from us too soon. 😭 Honestly, I was already on Aaravos's side but his backstory only cemented that for me. Screw the Cosmic Order. The Merciful One is a bitch. #Justice for Leola.

Hi out of interest how would humans, elves and dragons react to seeing a space ship and when the spaceship opens thy meet well other humans that came from a different planet where magic, elves and Dragons are well myths ?

i literally tried to write this 3 times but i kept accidentally refreshing the tab and it would delete everything so im sorry if this sucks but i legit am going to die if i have to write this again😭

Callum

he was scared af at first ngl

he was super interested in learning ab the human technology and explained the magic to the new humans since mages r a myth in their world

wants to learn ab other worlds

probably would befriend a lot of the other humans and teach them ab how xadia worked

Rayla

she would probably be super wary of the humans at first and the giant ass ship

would prob try to attack jt 💀

once she warmed up to the humans, she would teach them ab xadia and elven culture!

shed be super interested in the humans weapons, she is an assassin after all

Ezran

he would prob try be the most diplomatic

would try to make some alliance or peace treaty

hed be the first to approach the ship and interact with them as he wanted to know if they were a threat

very interested in learning ab the othee humans

he would bring them to katolis, much to opelis annoyance

Aaravos

now hed be intrigued

traveling among the stars? now that caught his attention

like 50 humans would fall in love w him just like me fr lmfao hed flirt mercilessly

the idea of other worlds and planets intrigues him alot

def asks a lot of questions

also wants to learn ab human tech and weapons, but for more malicious purposes lmfao

they all think that elves and dragons r myths, so he would show them magic and explain the entire history and lore of xadia to them💀

Zubeia

she would help to ensure peace with ezran adn make sure they werent a threat

the humans would prob either be super scared of her or think she was super cool since dragons were myths

teaches them ab xadian and dragonic customs!!!

is wary of letting them meet zym tho, she doesnt want to endanger him

if they see the statue of avizandum and ask questions she will legit just ignore them 😭

overall is a little wary of them but accepts it as it is

i cant find the strength to write more im so so so sorry 😭😭😭

[lunanightriderofthecove]

I really wanna know what that battle between Avizandum and the humans is in the prologue.

Let's go back a little further and look at actual parents with their kids in the show. In arc 1, Harrow, Sarai, Runaan, and Ethari were said to be 30-35 years old, and Viren, Lain, and Tiadrin were 35-40. So that means we've seen:

Ruthari at 20-25

Laindrin at 25-30

Harrai at 20-25

Lissen at 25-30

So y’all are freaking out about Arc 3 Rayllum getting married and having babies at the “tender age” of 24-25, and how “they should be in their 30s before having kids”— and yet I haven’t heard a fucking peep about Karim and Miyana:

— Likely not being 30 years old yet, and

— Not confirmed to be married or engaged

And having twins, and y’all are fine with it!

Fuck y’all and your nasty ass puritanical hypocrisy

[jellydrawsposts]

Im way too tired to clean this up but I’ve been cackling at this i still absolutely love how The Dragon Prince randomly decided to drop the fact that Corvus not only knows how to play the cello but also that he writes his own pieces AND THEY NEVER MENTION IT AGAIN

Based off of that redraw trend on Twitter

[raayllum]

honestly one of the reasons i'm most excited for arc 3 is that there might be time to get actual Stella lore

[sunfire-shield]

I was under the impression that as Queen, Janai is in charge of the Sunfire Elves as a people and of a certain area of territory, and that territory contains both the abandoned Lux Aurea and the new Sunfire Camp. Like, my understanding is that monarchs don’t normally just preside over a single city, even if that city serves as the seat of power. So since old Lux Aurea still falls within the territory that the Sunfire Kingdom claims, Janai has the right to dictate who is allowed to go there, especially if it’s dangerous. Like, I wouldn’t be allowed to just waltz into a foreign country and have a meander around a disaster zone, like a nuclear fallout area, which Lux Aurea feels very reminiscent of. Someone would stop me, for my own safety at the very least

Yk I've never understood why janai thought she could stop rayllum from going to the bookery in s5. Like they're not her subjects, therefore they're totally out of her jurisdiction and she has no say over their actions whatsoever.

And since Lux Aurea is abandoned, she also has no say over it. She's queen of the sunfire elves and new aurea, not lux.

Like. Girl. I love you so much, but... didja think that through??

[beautifulterriblequeen]

enjoying the implication that the ribbons on Ruthari's horns during their wedding dance

means that this couple at the Moon Nexus had a Very Interesting wedding day

[raylasrightbraid]

hey yall i would like to share my headcanon of the moment rayla and callum fell for eachother bc why not

OK SO FIRST

personally, i think rayla fell first. (sweet little callum was still crushing on claudia at this time 😓) but honestly, this moment is where rayla saw callum as this kind and genuine person and probably caught some tiny little feelings 🤭

now obviously we all know this iconic scene where the writers decided that rayllum wasn’t a bad idea 😭 at this point, i think rayla has her pretty decent crush on callum and i dont think he liked claudia anymore ?? idk 😰

finally after that lightning scene when rayla says “good :)” and hugs callum i think callum realized how much she cared for him and that he cared so much about her too, and developed feelings after.

all in all

i think rayla fell first, and callum fell so much harder 😭 quite literally might i add

[redr0sewrites]

Out of all the arch dragons from the dragon prince who is your fave?

URGHH THATS SUCH A HARD QUESTION <\\\3 if were talking design-wise, then id probably say luna tenebris bc her design that we saw just seemed really aesthetically pleasing to me, and she just looks very interesting and she is probably going to be important lore-wise and i just want to know more ab her. if were talking ab archdragons that we know better/have interacted with in the show, id probably say zubeia. shes a caring mother towards zym, and the whole corruption bit at the end of s5 made me feel really bad for her. im glad that shes helping to make progress towards peace between the humans and the elves, and i just think her character is very interesting. all of the archdragons have interesting characters and personalities, and i feel like theyre all really cool to think about lore-wise and theory-wise! (also, id like to clarify that i saw ur other ask and in working on it currently, tysm for requesting! :D)

[sunstone-nerding]

You didn't offend me. It's ok! :) I just wanted to know if you expected an answer from me or not.

I don't know how long you have been in The Dragon Prince fandom. I've been following it for about five years now. (Wow, so long...) Way back, what horn cuffs meant was not decided. As more lore was written and released, that gradually changed.

I can list the sources if you would find that helpful.

Kim'dael's Horn Cuff

Kim'dael's horn cuff looks more like a support bracket than purely decorative jewelry.

Maybe her horn cracked or was gouged through the keratin years ago. Even if she only wears it out of habit anymore, I like what it says about her.
