You are a powerful demon who could bring death in the blink of an eye. But even you aren’t immune to being drunk. You don’t remember last night. However, today, a kid shows up at your door saying your true name and claiming you promised to attend a mysterious human meeting: a parents’ evening.

Supervilliany isn’t a matter of morality, it’s a matter of obsession. If you have the kind of obsessive interest it takes to pursue a doctorate in a field that’s not readily financially lucrative then you’ve said or heard the phrase “I’ll show you! I’ll show you all!” at some point in academia

You are a superhero known for wearing a signature ring. While everyone believes it to be the source of your powers in reality it actually dampens them, allowing you to safely use your powers. Today you woke up and could not find your ring.

You’ve been fully blind since birth. You also just can’t make sense of why the charming Greek lady who runs the local statue garden doesn’t seem to have many friends besides you…

hey, don't cry. one cup heavy whipping cream, two tablespoons granulated sugar, three tablespoons cocoa powder and whisk until stiff peaks form for three ingredient chocolate mousse, okay?

you have been chosen. do not resist

Mythical creatures exist, but they all like to take the form of humans, they do it so well that most of their own species wouldn’t be able to tell. One day your wife sits you down and explains that she is a dragon…you begin to worry about your secret stash of gold in the attic.

You are an author who writes for the fun of it. You created a universe set around a Goddess ten years ago, which became quite popular. You answer the door one day to find a radiantly beautiful woman. “At last I meet you, my creator. I am Goddess …”

Random theories, head cannons and predictions for Roots of Chaos books

I have been rereading both "Priory of the Orange Tree" and "A day of Fallen Night" and have been noticing new things and creating my own theories and head cannons. I'm listing these theories from the ones I consider most likely to the lest likely/ones that have the least evidence.

1.) The Earl of Honeybrook (Kits dad) or one of his ancestors was a practitioner of sterren. Samantha Shannon has confirmed that Kabala's last words "beware the sweet water" refers to Kits family. At the beginning of the book its revealed that "The Earl of Honeybrook stood with the other members of the Virtues Council. He did not look troubled by the absence of his son, who he resembled in every way but the mouth, which never smiled.". We know that the use of Sterren affects offspring by making them look identical to the parent. I believe that at some point after A Day of Fallen Night when Kabala regained her strength she decided that she wanted a child to train but instead of taking another child from the priory she chose and Inysh child and taught them how to use sterren.

2.) There is a 4th Siden tree. In A day of Fallen Night, Wulf mentions rumours that there is a valley in the north beyond Hróth where the eversnow melts (I can't find the exact quote -sorry). I believe that this is because there is another siden tree located in this valley and the fire from the siden causes the snow to melt. Apart from this rumour this theory doesn't not have much proof in the book but I believe it because one of the major themes is balance and having 4 trees, one in each main location (North - Hroth, South - Lasia, West - Inys/Nurtha, East - Komoridu) makes sense from a narrative perspective. Also Samantha Shannon has hinted that later books will explore the Hurin in more detail and as we know that there are Hurin in the north beyond Hroth.

3.) The lacustrine legend of "The little shadow girl" will appear as a narrator character/a character in a future book and tells us that the balance of the universe has been disrupted before. The legend of the little shadow girl tells the story of a little girl who "‘In the time before the Great Sorrow, a fire-breather flew to the Empire of the Twelve Lakes and ripped the pearl from the throat of the Spring Dragon". We do not know how much before the great sorrow this legend takes place but as it features a wyrm it means that this wyrm is either the Nameless one (which is not likely as we know when the nameless one first appeared he stayed in the South) or a new wrym which we have never met. We also know that "As the Spring Dragon mourned for her pearl, a most unnatural winter fell over the land". This makes me think that in the very ancient times when the balance was disrupted a diffrent wyrm was created (possibly from one of the eastern volcano's instead of the Dreadmount) stole the pearl which either caused a "unnatural winter" or coincided with the times that sterren was in power (which caused the "unnatural winter"). I think that this legend will play a large role in a future book (possibly the very ancient book with Siati the Dreamer).

4.) The "Melancholy King" for who the "desert of unquiet dream" is named, was affected by sterren not a desert mirage. The king first sees the mirage when he is in his palace which is in the middle of a city. In real life mirages only tend to happen when you are in the middle of a desert not when you are in a city environment. Because of this and the Kings steadfast belief that he is in fact in a dream makes me believe that he was seeing an illusion created by someone using sterren. I don't know who or why someone would do this though.

modern day kalyba would be a girlblogger I just know it. tunuva would be offline but esbar would be on tiktok to keep track of siyu. glorian would have an instagram with 0 posts and wulf would have an instagram with 40 followers that’s just crack pics of his friends. dumai would go on facebook to stay in touch with family. and nikeya? an influencer with AT LEAST 500k followers on each platform.

Until Samantha Shannon says otherwise I will believe Cleolind, Neporo and Kalyba were in a throuple (garden of Eden-style, the original sorcerers) and Kalyba got kicked from the polycule. Source: it came to me in a dream.

me: i know samantha won't write another roots of chaos book for some time and that's okay!

samantha in her instagram post: i won't write another roots of chaos book for a couple of years

me: WHAT THE FUCK!??!!?!?
