#the dragon prince s7 speculation

[halyasgirl]

I haven't seen 7x01, but guessing for season 7:

Rayla, about Runaan: This man is my father, I'll never leave him!

Ezran: He's her dad? I thought he was her boss. Didn't he threaten to kill her?

Callum: ...Yes, yes, and yes.

[chubis]

Does anyone else want to see Ezran saying hurtful things because he's having a hard time dealing with anger and pain? No? Just me?

[m4rs-ex3]

i very much want it to be that the reason rayla won't kill callum is because, for once, she chooses to be selfish.

we know that in general callum has a tendency to sacrifice the greater good for his loved ones and rayla has a tendency to sacrifice herself for the greater good, but i think that extends to her loved ones (she knew how bad leaving would hurt callum [and even though her reasoning is to keep him safe, it was also a general "i need to rid the world of this evil" deal]).

killing callum would mean sacrificing something that means even more to her than herself for the sake of the world. chances are she won't, and i want that to be because of the fact that she chooses to have callum in her life (or at least for him not die by her hand), fate of the world be DAMMED.

[numptypylon]

Is she standing trial?! 😭

That’s what this situation looks like? Is it to get potentially unghosted?

Did they summon the dead to pass judgment on her? That sounds pretty Moonshadow, and we know moon magic can do that kinda thing. Maybe the lotuses serve as some kind of tether to them after death, we saw Runaan’s still glowing while he was beyond the realm of the living. And they can be used to temporarily call them back?

Or maybe they’re illusions, and it’s just to make Rayla ‘face’ the people her actions harmed?

And where is Runaan and Ethari? I’m assuming they’re not allowed to interfere, but I desperately want them to interfere. Ethari didn’t go to bat for Rayla when they ghosted her, and I’m pretty sure he regrets that, so his redemption arc must be a dramatic ‘I object’ kinda scene, it’s what he deserves!

Can’t wait to see, that’s for sure!

Timeline season things thanks to the new pictures

So we know early on in the season, presumably, Ezran and Corvus arrive in Katolis and have reunited with Callum (who has likely flown from the Moon Nexus to Katolis to check on his home/brother) and are riding Aegis and Embertail, Janai and Amaya's hotcat mounts. They will likely also reunite with Soren and Opeli here.

We also know at one point that Ez, Rayla, Runaan, Aanya, and presumably most everyone else ends up at the Banther Lodge thanks to these images.

We also know that Rayla (and Runaan) are going to go to the Silvergrove, where Rayla meets with some kind of Keeper for some kind of Moonshadow trial. I'd place this around 7x03 or 7x04 latest.

With the latest image in mind, we can construct some other details.

I thought at first glance that this picture was depicting the journey to back Katolis, given that Ezran and Aanya are there on said hotcats and Corvus is there. However, Soren is also there (riding with Corvus) which means that it can't be on the way from Lux Aurea to Katolis (at least not the premiere trip), so it must come after.

Whatever they're flying to is either something they're worried about, or something that looks worrisome from the sky. Callum is also not in shot, but he could just be flying with his wings > needing a mount. An alternative is that he went with Rayla and Runaan to the Silvergrove, and perhaps Ezran and co. are travelling there to reunite with them, or even checking up on Zubeia.

Things that could worry them from the Sky:

Visibly destroyed or corrupted places, such as the Moon Nexus, Silvergrove (broken barrier?), or even the Midnight Desert (though I don't think there'd be that many clouds if that was the case). This could even be the place with mushrooms where Zubeia is resting, since Soren and Corvus know the way + Aaravos could have incentive to interrupt her healing, but Zym isn't in shot with them either, so... maybe? I think the Silvergrove could make a lot of sense and be time effective, so we'll just have to see.

The Same Path

There are a lot of parallels between Viren and Callum.

Let's start with appearances, because as any Illusionist worth their salt should know, they're the only the only thing we will ever really know.

The framing of some of these is too intentional to be a mistake. Now, that doesn't mean I think Callum will follow the same path as Viren, I don't. But it's still an interesting similarity.

Now, let's talk about the reality sitting right beneath the appearance.

Both Viren and Callum wanted to be someone. To feel that they amounted to something.

They were told who they were going to become.

But they chose to write their own destinies.

However it's not that simple. They each had someone that they held so dear... that they would do anything for them.

And "anything" encompasses a lot.

Both Lissa and Rayla are upset about what Dark Magic does to the people they love, but Viren and Callum believe that they have no choice. They're doing what they have to for those very people.

However Viren and Callum can both can acknowledge that they're right. They have succumbed to darkness.

Viren reached the end of his path and discovered it was not the one he thought he was walking.

Callum, however, has realized what path he is walking and is actively trying not to make the wrong choice.

I think that Callum and Viren are walking parallel paths, but that they are not the same. They have similar stories and are being faced with similar choices. They have similar temptations. But Callum's story is not one of corruption.

However I do think we will see Season Seven return to this theme of "anything".

Viren lost himself when he gave "anything" for those he loved. What will Callum lose?

[halyasgirl]

If Aaravos' plan is to "release the dead into the land of the living..." does this mean that Ethari might not believe Runaan's alive even when he sees him face-to-face?

[starwberryshenanigans]

hey so does anyone see the dead deer behind Callum in this scene 😃

yk like the same deer Claudia used to heal Soren 😃

and see how Callum had a white streak in his hair now 😃

yk like how claudia got her first white streak by killing a deer and using it to heal Soren 😃

and yk how Callum repeatedly says he will do anything for Rayla 😃

and now he says the same thing as Claudia about no mattern however dangerous or however vile 😃

just some food for thought 😍

[m4rs-ex3]

oh i am soooo interested to see if in the broyals conflict they bring up the fact that ezran fully defending avizandum ("everything avizandum did was to protect xadia"), mostly out of alliance with zym, even though avizandum killed his mother is almost the exact same thing as callum defending runaan, who killed their father, for the sake of rayla

[its-leethee]

"even if you were wearing the rarest legendary armour forged by sunfire elves - super dead"

if this dialogue turns out to be foreshadowing for claudia's dragonscale-amulet armour, well... i've already lost my mind

[sagegreenfrogs]

If Arc 3 gets greenlit I'm imagining a Sorvus side-plot where Ezran has given Terry a secret mission to get the two idiots to realise they love each other, and Terry is just getting increasingly more and more frustrated

Because Terry's like, very in tune with his heart/emotions - he probably knew there was something deeper with him and Claudia early on. So Sorvus being so oblivious is equally painful and endearing to him

Think something like this:

Ezran: "Thanks for briefing me on your latest search mission to find my dad. You're all dismissed. Terry? Can we chat for a bit?"

*Once Terry and Ezran are alone*

Ezran: "How's your other mission going?"

Terry: "Awful, King Ezran. I orchestrated a private moonlit picnic for them, and the whole time they were debating who'd be better in a scavenger hunt!"

Ezran: "Were they making those faces they do when the other isn't looking?"

Terry: "YES! It took everything I had in me to not burst out of the bushes and tell Corvus that he'd be much better at scavenger hunts if he didn't keep getting lost in Soren's eyes."

LMAOOOOOOO this is amazing

all I can say is @a-very-sparkly-nerd and I have plans in the making.

Maybe unpopular opinion but if we do get a season 8 I don’t think it’s going to skip 7 years immediately. I think it’ll skip ahead a little but not the entire time jump, and give us a bit of in-between. Like, progress on building the city. Finding bird Harrow. Miyana having her kid and jamaya being aunts. Soren looking for Claudia probably and maybe eventually deciding to face his mommy issues and bring their mom in. Hopefully sorvus canon. Maybe setting up a potential Ezran/Aanya future romance. Definitely preparations for how they’re going to be ready when Aaravos does come back. That sort of thing.
