• Onyx Storm: Mailbag #2

  Your favorite crazy book theorists and co-hosts Abby and Ronnie sit down to talk about YOUR THEORIES again in Onyx Storm: Mailbag #2!We start off strong, with Abby realizing that Cath is in fact a man and not a nickname for “Cathy.” We then dive into whether Cath’s breath smelling bad is actually a clue to Cath’s age, and ponder if he might actually be way more important than we thought.We debunk the popular “Ridoc is a venin” theory with some very key evidence from the Cliffs of Dralor. Sorry guys, Ridoc’s definitely not a venin - but we’re still not sure why he hates sewing. We get into the Battle of Suniva and try to figure out how long the venin have been secretly stealing daggers, and conclude that when Devera tells us something’s important, we should listen.After that we discuss Tairn and Codagh’s lineage and get into the “Is Tairn really Thereux?” question. We get into some of our wildest theories to date with speculation on Brennan’s identity (why did Violet think he would know Old Lucerish?) and realize that Lilith has known about the Venin for way longer than we thought. To round it out, we talk about the symbolism of Bodhi’s name (and Cuir’s name) and ponder what role they might play in the larger story. We wonder why everyone seems to always forget that the irids are invisible and could literally be anywhere, at any time (looking at you Unnbriel), and conclude with a fun reading corner on Crescent City (no spoilers! We promise.) Spoilers for the entire Empyrean SeriesFollow us on social media:Instagram: @dragonsinthedetailspodTikTok: @dragonsinthedetailspodYouTube: @dragonsinthedetailspodDiscord: Dragons In the Details Pod ServerEmail us your questions and theories at [email protected] - we love hearing from you!Please remember to rate, subscribe, and review!

• Onyx Storm: History Part 2 - The Second Krovlan Uprising, The Tyrrish Rebellion and Other Fun Stuff

  Your favorite crazy book theorists and co-hosts Abby and Ronnie sit down to talk about the history of Navarre in Onyx Storm: History Part 2 - The Second Krovlan Uprising, The Tyrrish Rebellion, and Other Fun Stuff!We start with the Second Krovlan Uprising, where we explore what REALLY happened when Deverelli brokered that mysterious deal between an unnamed Isle kingdom and Krovla. Why did the Krovlish Raiders try to cross into Navarre at Athebyne? Was Unnbriel the unnamed isle, or did Violet jump to conclusions? And what's the connection between the feathertails the raiders were looking for and the feathertails that Asher was studying?Then we jump to the Tyrrish Rebellion, examining the motivations behind Fen Riorson, Lilith Sorrengail, and other key players; looking deep into Fen’s alliance with Viscount Tecaurs, and discuss the shocking revelation that "other dragons" were hiding in Aretia! We bring receipts on Lilith's capture of the rebellion leaders, Brennan's supposed "death," and the rebellion relics. Why does Sgaeyl hate Brennan so much? And what was Naolin's ACTUAL fate??We round it out with a look at Basgaiath War College's founding (how could it have been built on Runes?!) and the various cover-ups throughout Navarre's history. When did they start erasing the Venin from the archives? Why is there no irid in the Rotunda at Basgiath? And why are the Venin traveling along bodies of water??Our precog corner gets WILD this episode as we theorize about a secret Irid den in Aretia, water dragons, and the possibility of another continent! Is this why Asher pointed Violet toward these specific historical events? The blanket of lies is starting to unravel!Spoilers for the entire Empyrean SeriesFollow us on social media:Instagram: @dragonsinthedetailspodTikTok: @dragonsinthedetailspodYouTube: @dragonsinthedetailspodDiscord: Dragons In the Details Pod ServerEmail us your questions and theories at [email protected] - we love hearing from you!Please remember to rate, subscribe, and review!

  History Part 1: The Origin, The Great War, and the First SixOn this episode of "Dragons in the Details," Abby and Ronnie sit down to talk about the early History of the continent! We start with a deep dive on the Fables of the Barren and the Origin Story, asking ourselves questions like "Who were these brothers?", "Is this Great War THE Great War?", and "How did Asher end up with this book in the first place?" Abby has a shocking moment of realization that the brother who commands the sky had to pay a great and terrible price to vanquish his evil brother, and contemplates what that mean for our girl Violet.Then we get into the "Great War", diving deep on the alliance between Dragons and Gryphons, the army of the Barrens, General Daramor, and the Battle of Gianfar. Finally we wrap it up with some speculation on how the war ended, a deep dive into the Basgiath and the Aretian wards, and a fun theory on why Irids don't like pits.

• Onyx Storm: Signets Deep Dive

  Abby and Ronnie sit down to talk about the Signets! We start with a deep dive into all of the major signets, how they work and who their balances are or might be, and then have some fun speculating about the signets we don't know (look at you - Bodhi, Jack, Sloan, and Aetos). After that fun walk down conspiracy alley, we get into the question everyone's asking - Why does Dain have so much power?!? We don't know but we have some ideas. We end the episode with some speculation on the six most powerful signets, and then as per usual get into our insane precog corner theories. This one's filled with a lot of fun ideas and speculation, but as always, we bring receipts!**Spoilers for the entire Empyrean Series**Follow us on social media:Instagram: @dragonsinthedetailspodTiktok: @dragonsinthedetailspodYoutube: @dragonsinthedetailspodEmail us your questions and theories at [email protected] - we love hearing from you!Please remember to rate, subscribe, and review!
