#Lux Aurea

[a-certain-elf]

I miss Lux Aurea

And now...

[hiccupshypotheticalleftsock]

figuring out timeline stuff in my brain (i think i'm gonna need a piece of paper) and idk if anyone has mentioned this yet BUT

isn't Janai like at least 300-500 years old? this means two things

A: Issues with lifespan in janaya marriage (amaya is like 35, shes got like 60 years left...tops)

B: Karim is also at least 300-500 years old. and still that stupid. what the fuck bro.

Lux Aurea has always been my favourite location in the series, but we never got to go much beyond the palace in S3, so getting to actually go through the streets and see both the ruin and splendour that has befallen it was such a treat.

Whether you love or hate him, (or like most, "are much more appreciative of him in S5 now his story is going somewhere,") Karim has one of the most beautiful designs in the entire show and that is a fact. His entire fit is pure fire. Like honestly, man has DRIP. I hope we get to see it come back at some point soon, I like a bloke in all blacks but DAMN, bring back his original outfit PLEASE. <3

My season five predictions for The Dragon Prince:

1. Callum gets the opportunity to hurt or kill Claudia but Rayla tells him to spare her because she gave her the coins.

2. Aaravos or Viren come to the conclusion that they have to sacrefice Terry but Claudia dies to save him.

3. RUTHARI REUNION!!!

4. Duren and Katolis form an alliance for something (anything) so we get to see Aanya again.

5. Janaya child?

6. Sir Sparklepuff turning into some other creepy monster.

Headcanon #83

An infected, but wandering librarian still remembers Kazi had to return a book in the Great Bookery before the fall of Lux Aurea.

Honestly shout out to cities that are just a giant walled circle with a big ass tower in the middle. Real life cities need to step up

This is the shit right here. Only Baghdad managed peak city design irl. Modern grid cities wish they had what she has

The Epic of the Void

In Tales of Xadia it was mentioned there is a song called 'The Epic of the Void' about the Startouch Elves in the library in Evenere. Now I wonder why Callum needed to go to Lux Aurea for information. He was the high mage of Katolis for two years. I know he doesn't like dark magic but he did read about dark magic in those years and he did study it so he could approach to the other high mages in the other kingdoms. Having connectioins is important, he could have just ask for help from the other mages to analyze the stuff in Viren's chambers. I know Evenere is in chaos but Callum could still ask their high mage for help and ask her questions. It's seems off he didn't try and get informations and expand his horizons with other mages. Season 5 proves us he did study dark magic even if he never plan to use it, so he should have done it. In the few days between season 4 and 5 Callum should have sent crows to all the high mages in the other kingdoms to find information. I know the Evenere mage doesn't have a reason to tell him about the poem, but he could have tried the other human kingdoms, he had information about Aaravos in the Katolis library the others might have some books as well. Sure, if they also have books about startouch elves the writing could have disappear anyway, but he should have tried it. Maybe the Evenere mage would have approve for him to go and read this poem. I know the poem is not very informative but he could be important like the book with the ocean sonnets. I think this poem will be important, maybe they will go to look for this poem next season and we finally going to see Evenere, there is a reason it was in the Tales of Xadia for sure.

Couple questions for you here.... :)))

How did the Sunfire elves get Amaya from the Breach to Lux Aurea? Like did they make her walk? Or use a horse? Or some sort of vehicle?

What does/did it feel like to be in that fire prison for Amaya and or anyone else?

Also, I didn't see like a sleeping pallet or something in the cell so do you think they just don't get one or is it out of frame do you think?

So I feel like they tried to get her to ride a Twin-Tailed Inferno Toothe Tiger but she wouldn't and tried to run when they uncuffed her so they probably just knocked her out and tied her to the back of Embertail or something

(Omigosh you read my mind here) REALLY HOT. People like to say that the flames are an illusion but that's obviously not true cause Janai has to enter heat mode and there was sweat on Amaya. It was probably especially hard on Amaya because

A: She's a human

B: She's deaf

She probably couldn't understand a single word of what anyone said to her and was treated like scum. I don't think she got much food or water at all.

As for your third question it probably depends on the rank of the prisioner. Had they known that Amaya was sorta the Queen Regent of Katolis maybe but they just thought she was any old general not the commander of all Katolian armies. So no, I don't think Amaya got a sleeping bag/pallet. She wasn't important.

CAN YOU BELIEVE CALLUM AND RAYLA WEREN'T WITH EZRAN, SOREN, ZYM, AND CORVUS IN THAT CLIP

he may be a whiny fascist, but he's MY whiny fascist

I am inclined to think that Mushroom Mage Muhko is indeed a good guy because:

Zubeia's already corrupted, so there's little point in having her be corrupted by something else unless they wanted a rampaging Earthblood elf thing going on, and it feels like there's Enough Happen already we wouldn't even have room or reason for that sort of thing

Unlike the corrupted dark magic, which has spread and festered from the initial wound site, the earth magic only covers those areas and doesn't spread anywhere else on the dragon

It seems to work in tandem and as a result of its natural environment (hence the green Tangled like glow under Zubeia)

The colour language is very bright and summery

While Terry isn't a bad person, he is our most prevalent Earthblood character, the bulk of whom have been antagonists (save N'than) so having another more good guy Earthblood elf would make sense
