Onyx Storm Theories
New theory on feathertails – Venin know about feathertails and used them for signets
It’s been so long since I picked up the Empyrean series books, but I’m so excited to read them again, analyse them and come back with more theories. This particular one is related to feathertails! I’ve been reading Iron Flame again and I’ve been thinking a little bit about Andarna. Why are they so secretive… Continue reading
Rebecca Yarros’ Interview at Disney
Hey everyone I finally listened to the new big interview with Rebecca Yarros at Disney. For those of you who haven’t heard it yet I can transcribe the questions and answers here. Some of her answers seem like they could spark entire theories so we might turn them into separate posts down the road. For… Continue reading
Who stole the eggs in Onyx Storm? Rebecca Yarros told us…
Traditionally “hidden in plain sight,” Rebecca Yarros has already dropped hints for Onyx Storm, and the War Games in Fourth Wing hold a significant clue. First and foremost, shoutout to our one and only Zuzzle for putting together this theory on the main Facebook page and to BalanceofProb from Reddit for coming up with it!… Continue reading
Loial’s Gold-Flecked Eyes – Talia and Xaden – The True Cure for Xaden
This theory is brought to you by the one and only: Kevin. Chances are you’ve seen Kevin in the comments section a lot. Kevin loves the Empyrean Series, and he’s really smart with his theories. Edit to add: Kevin would also like to give ‘Reddit user Tairnsilverone’ some credit for helping with this theory. I’ve… Continue reading
The Hierarchy of Gods in the Empyrean Series: Narrative Intent and Thematic Significance
The order in which the gods are introduced in the books by Rebecca Yarros appears far from arbitrary. Instead, it subtly establishes a hierarchy of thematic importance and narrative weight that structures the series’ spiritual and philosophical framework. From the outset of Fourth Wing, Malek, god of death, is the first deity invoked: “May their… Continue reading

Onyx Storm Theory: What can Zihnal’s gifts really mean
In Onyx Storm, the people received gifts from Zihnal through a ritual involving the selection of cards. Each card represented a different gift, and the recipients had to accept their gift without complaint as a test of their adaptability and faith in luck. What do Zihnal’s gifts mean? Mira received wine Base Symbolism: Wine often… Continue reading
Onyx Storm Theory: Could Theophanie be Violet’s aunt?
In the past couple of weeks, I received a dozen questions about the possibility of Theophanie being Violet’s aunt. Is it possible? There is clearly a relationship between Theo and Lilith, and Theo admits that herself. Many of you theorized that Theophanie was Lilith’s sister and one of the reasons why Asher rushed to Unnbriel… Continue reading
Onyx Storm Theory: Everything we know about Ridoc (does he have a second dragon?)
To start off with a little joke, “What we know about Ridoc is nothing compared to what we don’t.” I am not sure if you remember, but about a year ago, we got some fun theories around Ridoc bonding another dragon apart from Aotrom. WhatTheFrenchyDoes, a redditor and a fellow theory conspirator, posted that they… Continue reading
Onyx Storm Theory: Dunne’s symbol
I recently posted a theory about the relation between Gods, dragons and colours. I made a cute little table to show the thought process and added information from other invested readers too. The issue I’m having right now is that during the read‐along of chapter 30, I realise that perhaps I overlooked Dunne’s symbol a… Continue reading
