i wrote this a while ago when s1 just came out. abt 1k+ worth of soren analysis

Soren is such an interesting character, let’s be honest, y'all,  and we all understand the dumbassery, however, we’re all forgetting something important and it seems like many of the people in the show do too. Soren may act like a dumbass, but he’s hardly a complete dumbass. Soren is the commanding officer, and considering the fact that the kingdom is currently in war, this isn’t something to forget when he is the youngest crown guard of the century. He’s honestly an amazing character, considering this but, Soren also has some key points.

 Soren is a bit of a mystery to figure out when taking in account his character. He’s just so. Much, you know? I believe that he brings himself into the idea that he’s an idiot in order to let his sister, Claudia, shine. (Not saying that Claudia isn’t smart all on her own. She’s truly amazing, and I’ll talk about her later.) But it’s obvious that Soren isn’t as oblivious as he may seem. He is easily able to understand Callum in the first episode when he wants to impress Claudia without having to be told about the situation. Not only that, but he’s able to pinpoint when something isn’t wrong. Unfortunately, we don’t get to see very many of these times arise.

Soren is quite obviously a morally gray character. He is constantly seeking the attention of his father, in an attempt to be recognized, to which he is most commonly shot down at a moments notice. This usually causes him to create an outburst, not an explosive one, but one where he simply says whatever he thinks about immediately. His attention himself also lapses, and it’s obvious that it’s often because of the way that Viren (or lord virgin, whatever) treats him. 

Soren’s outbursts only cause the idea that he’s an idiot to continue, and the things he enjoys (like working out) also pushed that ideal, mainly because of the stereotypes of “big dumb jock” and while he himself may seem dumb, I believe he just has a slow processing ability in his mind, particularly when it comes to auditory processing in his mind, and I think this sets him back quite a bit, because we’re all aware of his prowess when it comes to fighting capabilities. His sister, who is book smart, and his father, who is wise, are seen as a norm in their family and because of this, he falls on the outside o the circle and leaves him by himself, and it’s obvious when it comes to proof over his neglect from his father. His relationship with his father is stunted at best, and it’s probably only because of Claudia and her uniqueness and overall, well, herness that she is able to exist as the character he is. You could even say she saves him, as in his personality, and that’s what makes the thing between lord virgin and claudia towards the end of the season so important and devastating. (Which again, I’ll explain in later paragraphs bc dsklfjdklfslfdsjl.)

 However, not only does Soren not hold anger for his father, he doesn’t hold anger for his sister, who is instead the favorite of their father. In a time of need, though it hasn’t been shown just yet, he would risk life and limb in order t protect his sister, his siblings– this including Callum and Ezran. Callum and Ezran are pretty much siblings to him and he wants to do everything he can to protect them, as is shown when he’s entrusted with the role of finding them and “rescuing” them by Lord Virgin, and in total leading to the conflict that we’ll see very soon. (Which I’m again, going to discuss. In like, the next paragraph or somethin.)

 It’s honestly hard to see whether Soren will choose blood relations or if he’ll fall into the ideal of family is whom you choose. Soren relies, as a character, on his father’s permissions and the attention of his father, and rather, that seems about right to me. Much like Rayla, Soren relies on being other people and while it’s not as big of his personality, it is there. He’s scared that his father eventually abandon him, because of his favoritism of Claudia. Along those lines as well, he’s scared that Claudia will follow behind his father as well.

But we can also think about Soren’s relationship with Callum and Ezran, considering that they grew up together. It’s obvious that Callum and Soren are very close– it’s apparent in the way they talk to each other, and considering the fact that Callum and Ezran are both princes, they’re not treated with as high respect as you would guess from someone of Soren’s status. Soren is, just like his father, a servant and would otherwise be punished if it wasn’t for the close relations between the two of them. And that’s why it’s going to be hard for Soren to decide. The safety of Callum and Ezran has been his duty from the time he was younger– He was literally raised to be into thay role, which again lead to him not having a childhood. Without a childhood, it may be the reason why, opposite of Rayla, he’s very childish. It’s why he’s able to have fun. He allows himself to have this freedom, of playing around, because of his training Callum (away from his fathers eyes) and why he probably enjoys it so much.

But on the other side of the spectrum, we also need to be aware of the problem with Claudia. If Claudia falls into the “dark side” of the scale, will he follow? Or will he choose the right decision. The right decision, that’s quite opposite to what his father spoke of. But then again, Soren is just a good character, and he has the qualities of a hero. As does Claudia, but it’s also quite possible that he’ll fall into the lies that his father spews. It may be that because he believes in his fathers ability to give him the attention he wants, despite already having people who quite actually look up to him (Aka, the princes), and fall into the hands of the dark side as well. It would be interesting to see him struggle against his own morals with the ideals that his father creates for him. 

and this is where i stopped lol

There are reports of shadows in the clouds. Dragons flying high above the towns of Katolis. And Sunfire elves are gathering near the border. An invasion is imminent. We must be prepared to fight!

IM ON THE FLOOOOOOOR

[crcwnguard]

k so in my opinion the elf we see here:

is Elarion. and elarion is who gave, or at least contributed towards dark magic being given to humans; and aaravos is involved somehow

first lets look at the hints theyve given us about elarion. the photo posted with the poem is present on her tunic, see:

otherwise the poem itself connects them:

“Elarion, black-eyed child,” she has. literal black eyes. this is a p clear link and OH MY GOD I JUST REALIZED. WHAT COLOUR DO CLAUDIAS EYES TURN DURING DARK MAGIC oh shit this is so smart!!! here is our first link from elarion to dark magic

“her twisted roots spread deep and far,” again, this might be linked to dark magic, an idea i got from the amazing maya @moonshxdows​ poem analysis. “twisted roots” could mean dark/evil origins; and deep and far could mean. um. deep and far

“The humans’ might sparked” ‘human’s might’ could mean the human’s only possible magical power source apart from primal stones: dark magic. before we first see elarion; viren, the main dark magic user who’s thought to be the founder of dark magic, is shown ‘sparking’ a fire:

then immediately we’re shown elarion sparking a fire with what must be dark magic, bc she is a star elf. so we’ve got the impossible flame symbol here, which indicates dark magic behind it, and we’ve got a link to humans, esp viren.

“by the light of Aaravos, her midnight star.” k this is complicated and im not sure if i know exactly what it means, considering the season isnt, like, out. lets take this apart. 1. aaravos is elarions ‘midnight star’; elarions bright light in the darkest time of the night/life/whatever. (this is called being dramatic pls excuse me) im 100% guessing here but. maybe. (this is also a smart allusion to the fact that both elarion and aaravos are star elves) this line could mean that aaravos was elarion’s mentor, friend, whatever. we know they are linked somehow, and the fact that aaravos is the one narrating the entire story makes it seem like their story is something incremental towards p much everything. theres a bigger picture we cannot possibly see rn- even aaron ehasz said it would be clear in season six and thats a longggg time away lmao 2. the ‘light of aaravos’ could be elarion’s guidance. so maybe dark magic came from aaravos guiding elarion

tdlr; im confused now elarion and aaravos have a history, and (bc of that very history) elarion is also maybe probably the reason viren found dark magic. also aaravos is one mysterious dude

Elarion, black-eyed child, her twisted roots spread deep and far, The humans’ might sparked by the light of Aaravos, her midnight star.

wip i’ll never finish:

Callum feels his heart pound in his chest. How long has it been? He wonders as he walks through the desolated area. It's quiet, so very quiet, and he doesn't understand why places filled with dead people has to be so quiet and gray and sad. Should there be a celebration of life? Why is it that he has to be here, for both of his parents, not just one? He doesn't get it. He's only 16, why is he king? He walks up the steps of his mothers statue, climbing the stone, before sitting down at her feet. "Hey, Mom." He puffs a small laugh as he pulls his legs up to his chest, rests his head on the cool marble of the horse. "How's Dad? Is he with you?" He sighs, pushing his face further into the scarf around his neck. 

"Mom, I don't know what I'm doing here. What am I supposed to do? I don't know what's going on anymore. Viren-- he betrayed us, Mom. And Claudia and Soren are...  Ezran. Gods, I don't even know where to start anymore, Mom. I wish I never found out... about any of this. Tell me, how can I fix this? The dragons will be at our door any minute, and I'm king and I just don't know anymore. It wasn't supposed to end like this." He rambles, feeling his cheeks heat as his eyes tear up. 

"I miss you, Mom." He enjoys the silence as much as he can. It's warm, almost like there's someone next to him. It's comforting as it is kind, and he leans into it. It sends a shock through him when he feels actual skin make contact with his own. "Ah!" He screeches, jumping back enough to almost fall off of the statue. A woman with a dazzling grin and armor stares at him, mirth sparkling in her eyes. He almost cries, but he manages to choke out a, "Mom?" before he's swept up in a tight hug, her armor digging into his arms. "Mom!" 

"Callum," she whispers, pressing her cheek against his. "Callum." He laughs, disbelievingly as he hugs her back as much as he can.

The cold bites at his fingers as he shudders through the air. The snow crunches beneath his feet, and for the first he wonders, what the hell am I doing here? It was strange. The lodge was quiet-- with most of the royal family gone or dead, well. It made his body hurt. Just last year, it had been filled with such laughter-- such happiness. How had so much changed in just a year? 

And what was he doing? Nothing. His mind hissed at him as his thoughts began a spiral. It wasn't good for him, but he didn't care. Couldn't bring himself to. It was his job to protect them. It was his job. He may have been the youngest, but damnit, it had been entrusted to him. 

Now, he had lost two younger brothers, a king, and he couldn't recognize his own family anymore. But he was going to find the princes, he was going to make this right. He would protect them this time. Like he was supposed to.

Callum: hey Rayla, can I borrow your phone for a minute? I just wanna look something up

Rayla: oh sure! Here

Callum, looking through her search history in horror:

[crcwnguard]

All magic in the world draws upon the six Primal Sources, enormous, powerful entities of the natural world: the Sun, the Moon, the Stars, the Earth, the Sky, and the Ocean. The magical creatures of Xadia are all connected to a Primal Source, and their natures and powers reflect that source. Until humans discovered a seventh one.
