In ESO, when Naryu gives you her blade during the quest line about the Maulborn, you get a piece of the Night Mother’s Embrace set.

This is interesting, as the Night Mother is an important aspect of the Brotherhood and is essentially the founder of its origins. However, Naryu is a member of the Tong, which worships Mephala. There is also much speculation that the “Night Mother” is a name of Mephala, the patron Daedric Prince of the Tong. This just further proves the theory that Mephala is, or at least an aspect of her is, the Night Mother. This goes along nicely with the theory that the Brotherhood is a splinter group of the Tong.

Branches creaking above her head. Fallen twigs and leaves litter the path beneath her. Mud sprays out behind her as she sprints towards the sound of rushing water.

“Bluestar”

She can hear another sound above the river. No. Not a sound. Chaos. Danger. Threatening her home. Her clan. The savage sound of snarling and a cat yowling in pain make her heart thump wildly in her chest. Fireheart needs her. Her Clan needs her. 

“Bluestar”

For Fireheart. She smashes against the Black and Tan brute. For Whitestorm. Her claws rake through his fur. For Frostfur. Blood sprays and the dog yelps. For Lionheart. She skids to a stop at the edge of the cliff. What? No. Lionheart is dead. He’s- The ground vanishes beneath her.

“Bluestar!”

Bluestar’s eyes shot open, her heart beat wildly at her chest, like the last desperate struggles of caught prey clawing away from the hunter. Her heartbeat steadies as she takes in the scene before her. She lay on a bed of smooth green grass. The wind whispered gently through the tall trees, their branches in full leaf. Clouds rolled across the blue sky and from somewhere in the distance she could hear the sound of a stream trickling over rocks and the sweet sound of bird song. 

She was ripped from her serenity in a heartbeat as she remembered where she had last been. Mistyfoot! Stonefur! She leapt to her paws with a cry of anguish. Her kits! Her beautiful kits! Though their colouring had been akin to hers, she had seen their father in the shape of their heads and the breadth of their shoulders. They had forgiven her... but oh what she would do for one more moment of feeling her kits pressed against her in comfort. To smell their fur... the Riverclan scent string yet still so familiar...

“Bluestar”

That voice. She stopped, the jumble of thoughts in her head paused. She slowly turned around, one paw in front of the other and then he was there. 

“Oakheart?” Her voice caught in her throat. There he was. Stars sparkled in his fur, giving his russet coat a frosty sheen. He seemed younger than she last remembered. His eyes were aglow, full of the spirit and warmth that had made her fall in love with him. It was Oakheart. 

She raced towards him, his purr nearly drowned out the sound of her own purr rising in her throat. She pressed her face against his, running her jaw along his cheek and drinking in his strong scent. His rough tongue lapsed her forehead and she looked up. His amber eyes stared intently into her blue ones. “You’re still beautiful” he whispered. She twined her tail with his. 

The only thing that sparks my interest is that Zenimax could take this opportunity to very carefully expand upon the lore. If it takes place in Black Marsh, then maybe we could get some explanations or theories as to how the HIST was able to warn the Argonians of the Oblivion Crisis in the 3rd era

When you read that in Ialai’s notes about the Ghostbloods she had the names NALATHIS (Nalthis) SCADARIAL (Scadrial) and TAL DAIN....

Spoliers for The Broken Code, Squirrelflight’s Hope and Graystripe’s Vow Excerpt!

So... it is widely thought that Ashfur is possessing Bramblestar’s body and I’d just like to point out a few reasons why...

1. He has blue eyes like Ashfur (both Bristlefrost and Shadowsight point this out)

2. He is obviously attached to Squirrelflight (mourns her death and is more forgiving to her)

3. His whole codebreaker crusade I am curious to know more about, but it makes sense why he persecuted Jayfeather and Lionblaze (jealous that they are Squirrel’s foster kits with Bramblestar)

4. Banishes Alderheart (again, Bramble x Squirrel kit)

5. Tries to kill Sparkpelt (Bramble x Squirrel kit, also the prey trail is so similar to what Tigerstar did with the dog pack and Ashfur lived through that)

6. Knows cats like Lion and Jay, but messes up Dewnose’s name (makes sense because he died before Dewnose was born, but must’ve been alive for Lion and Jay)

7. Some foreshadowing in Squirrelflight’s Hope (it wasn’t very hardcore, but she talked to Hollyleaf about how it must be weird for Ashfur to be in Starclan with her)

8. Ashfur’s attitude in Graystripe’s Vow excerpt (seems like the Erins want to use this to make it seem more likely that Ashfur has it in him to be evil, as he berates Gray and also talks bad about Firestar for leaving)

9. Need I mention he helped Hawkfrost try to kill Firestar (he has it in him to be a bad cat)

Song: Wolf At Your Door by Chloe x Halle

This is another one of my “song analyses” based on Warriors. This one is about Ivypool

Lyrics: ~ A wolf creeps softly in the snow, 

light and tears along a path, 

a knife between her teeth she roams, 

for now she is the stranger ~

These lyrics describe Ivypool as she begins her spying in the Dark Forest. The wolf in this case being Ivypool. Light and tears describes how at first she thought Hawkfrost was offering her a way to make herself shine in comparison to Dovewing (paw at the time) and her “tears” describe her efforts to make it in the Dark Forest. “A knife between her teeth she roams” also describes how much effort she put in to be the best warrior, eventually becoming a Dark Forest  mentor, all while being a spy eventually. Now does she not only feel like a “stranger” in her camp because of the secret she hides, but a “stranger” in the Dark Forest as well because she is also hiding the fact that she is a spy. 

~ Chasing a fairytale, chasing a lie,

But everything changes and everything dies, 

You prayed on my innocence, tried to bury my name, 

But now there’s ice in my veins ~

These lyrics describe how her “fairytale” was becoming equal or better to her sister when Dovepaw was outshining her. “Chasing a lie” refers to her chasing her dreams in the Dark Forest, which turned out to be a big facade as they were planning on eventually using her to destroy/take over the Clans (not just help her to become a better warrior. “But everything changes and everything dies” refers to how she eventually finds out that the Dark Forest is not what she thought it was, and when she has to kill Antpelt to prove her loyalty. The third line here refers to Hawkfrost preying on Ivypool’s naivety and youth and that he never really tried to make her better, but instead wanted to use her (thus “bury my name” because it was never about her). The fourth line refers to her anger at the entire situation and her determination to go back into the Dark Forest, spy and bring an end to it. I also imagine a burning image of Hawkfrost’s ice blue eyes. 

~ There’s a wolf at your door,

There’s a hound at your heels. 

There’s a snake in your bed,

Tell me, how does it feel? ~

These lyrics are entirely about Ivypool spying and being a “traitor” to the Dark Forest, and then revealing it to Hawkfrost.

~ When you let the wolves in

When you’re laying in your bed at night,

When the air’s just a little too quiet,

Better hope that you’re saying your prayers,

When you think that it’s over, I swear,

We’ll be there ~

Letting the wolves refers to her and any other possible Clan cats who fight for the Clans in the Great Battle. The second line here refers to how at night when they go to train in the Place of No Stars they’re spying for the clans. The third line refers again to her spying and the fourth refers to how in the end Starclan is the ultimate authority and who she will be loyal to. The last two lines refers to how in the Final Battle, when the Dark Forest think they’re going to win, the Clans will be there to defeat them. 

~ Up from the ashes, 

Run through the fire,

Down by the blade that bled us the same and the blood won’t dry,

The monsters that made us, 

They wrote down your names, 

One by one I’m gonna dig your grave ~

Like that one time when she saw a little too much of Sorreltail and Brackenfur action...

So these screenshots are of a song analysis I did of Lordes song relating it to Warriors, in particular Tigerstar and the Dark Forest. I hope you like! (Just click on images to make bigger... :) )

Cats in pain are NEVER a funny thing and I am not making light of this disorder but can we take a moment to appreciate “crying while peeing”

“Bluestar are you okay?”

*bluestar squatting, tears leaking from eyes*

*spottedleaf appears* she is still mourning the loss of her kits!

*clan hears a soft spraying sound*

*crying intensifies*

I am so angry. I spent all day reading this. Now I am left in suspense!!! This entire book everyone’s been like “we gotta find out who is in Bramblestar’s body”.

They had him prisoner and everything, Bristlefrost and Shadowsight were both like “shit he’s got blue eyes” at multiple points in the book

And at the very end they all go a gathering and Squirrelflight is like “everyone hold up, I know who it is!” And then the book fucking ends!
