kotlc sht theories #1
Kenric is alive (and maybe in the Neverseen?)
He is mentioned more times after his death than before.
And when he is mentioned, it isn’t super necessary. Shannon didn’t have to write so many Kenralie scenes, she could’ve just made all of his cache memories about Elysian if opening Kenric’s cache was only to forward the plot. But she adds Kenralie into it for emotion, so he will definitely hopefully somehow be in book 10 and it will be related to Oralie in some way.
How did Gisela get to Elysian?
He was investigating Elysian and may have had a way to get there.
Possible that he didn’t erase all of his memories about the investigation since we only saw one in his cache, and that was probably because he didn’t want to get Oralie into trouble for being involved.
i think im just being delusional with this one tho

Second Forkle dies, super emotional scene of him being planted next to his brother.
Because emotion
Like the fact that Forkle 1.0’s tree literally leaned over as if waiting for someone is so foreshadowing Forkle 2.0’s death.
He is also a very questionable character who could be killed off as an apology for the decisions that he has made.
His death would also have a super large impact on all the characters, as he is the main leader of the Black Swan, and has obviously assisted Sophie and her friends numerous times. He is also the principal of Foxfire, so that would also be a huge thing they would have to deal with.

Alina is Fitz’s mom
Vacker thing about one dad, two moms and Fitz was the one to tell Sophie about this. Could be the real Vacker legacy????
He is a Telepath (Telepathy is rare) and his siblings are Vanishers (Vanishers are common); Alina was higher on Alden’s list
Obviously matchmaking has problems, but the whole genetics thing is still the determiner for abilities, and lists do have some proof behind their accuracy.
Also very possible that Alina could've beguiled Alden into it, playing on the fact that Alvar wasn't the son Alden wanted, and Alina may have promised that she could give him a better one?
Although what would her motivation be? And now she's a Councillor? Can you imagine if it turns out not one but TWO Councillors have secret children that would be insane.
Fitzroy (the name) means the bastard son of a king
it makes sense but please no 😭😭😭😭

if my previous theory is true (alina is fitz's mom) -> i need a della villain arc
She mentions being mistreated by humans, and one of the Neverseen’s main things is putting humans in a Sanctuary.
She’s a really good fighter
People have mentioned how Alden always seems to be in the way of the Black Swan’s plans, and Della could totally influence his decisions since they’re always described as a happy couple (which makes Alden cheating very unlikely but Alina is a beguiler...?)
She is a very powerful Vanisher and she kind of implies that she is hiding her true power in her husband’s shadow, kind of like Gisela…?
She is the only Vacker not injured by the Neverseen (idk if Shannon could even plan this far though tbh-)
But both Alden and Della aren’t in Stellarlune at all… which is kind of weird if this is going to be a huge plot point but uhm
(But like apparently Shannon doesn’t know how to outline a story so 💀)
I really don’t want this to happen, but if Alina does turn out to be Fitz’s mom I’m gonna need a Della villain arc to make up for it.
