My theory about the restoration of The Barrens in the Empyrean Series hinges on the concepts of magical imbuing and depletion as depicted in Iron Flame.
What do we know? There are two wardtones, one in Navarre and one in Aretia. We learn that the wardstone in Aretia can be imbued with magic and so, for weeks, a few characters, Violet and Xaden included, imbue the wardstone with their own magic. When Jack Barlowe manages to partly destroy the wardstone in Basgiath, Brennan uses his power to mend it, then again, we use the process of imbuing to put magic into the wardstone. We use Sloane to basically channel all the energy from Lilith (very fast) and place it all in that stone.
We also known that The Barrens are depleted of all magic, and they are essentially a desert. Since objects can be mended and imbued with magic, I honestly believe that there is no reason for The Barrens to not be imbued with magic and restored to their original glory.
Ultimately, I believe that Sloane Mairi will be instrumental in restoring The Barrens. Why?
The art of imbuing comes naturally to only a handful of signets, and automatically only to one: the siphon. – A STUDY ON SIGNETS BY MAJOR DALTON SISNEROS
While we lost her brother, I think Sloane will become one of the central characters in the series. And let’s not forget that I still think her and Aaric will have something going on too.
