Boiling Isles Civil War?
Okay, first of, this is not a prediction for anything that will happen in the Owl House finale. Tbh I fully expect the show to gloss over all of this (if we even get an epilogue).
But when the show ends, the Boiling Isles won't have an Emperor anymore. And the whole organization that upheld this empire, the Emperor's Coven, will have lost the support of its citizens and most of its members.
So it really feels like this can only end with the empire (at least temporarily) dissolving into smaller independent countries and city-states. (We do have "New Hexside" already).
"But why wouldn't they just stay together?" I mean it's pretty clear that the people of the Boiling Isles will have to make some big changes to their laws and legal systems, given that those were mostly introduced and upheld by the E.C. and the Coven System. And that will lead to different political camps forming.
We also saw the cultural differences between Bonesborough and Latissa, and know there are extreme rivalries between schools. So there will be disagreements about how to structure their new governments, how to make political decisions and what changes to the law are necessary.
Now, maybe they just agree to disagree and each do their own thing for now. That's probably the best case scenario.
But with people like Kikimora and Odalia around, people that would happily burn down the world to get what they want, some kind of civil war seems equally possible.
We might even have some remnants of the "Emperor's Coven", people that feel everything was better under Belos, that ignore or downplay all the harm he did and try to rebuild his coven system.
Again, I do not believe that this will happen in canon, simply because it's a kids show and they need to wrap up things quickly.
I'm just saying that this would be a very believable continuation of the events in the Owl House.
