If magic demands balance on both sides between riders and Venin⦠what if General Melgren is the other Venin traitorā¦
"Iām the only one who can give you access to your son."
"I have another."
We know that there is another traitor hidden in our midst.
"Initiates, asimsāwe're all traceable to one another, but the great hall could fill with Sages and Mavens and I'd never know. Neither would you. Makes you wonder who's been channeling here for years, doesn't it? Who's been trading information for power?"
Rebecca has made a point of telling us that there could be a very powerful Venin and we would all be completely unaware.
"She's their answer to my mother."
"She was the answer to me," Theophanie hisses.
But this biggest point is the fact that Aaric is a precog⦠seeing as thatās a pretty rare power, what are the odds that magic demands no balance there? Allows two to exist on one side?
That suddenly another one appears for no reason, right now (when we know signets are based on need and frequently filling gaps)⦠among a group of first years that already has proof of this very action with Lynx becoming a shadow wielder, as Xaden becomes Venin.
"I don't understand. You're our generation's shadow wielder."
"Not anymore. Magic knows. He's the balance."
What if Aaric is the balance, because Melgren is the Venin.
As a countdown to Onyx Stormās release date, Iāve decided to post my favorite quotes, one per day, in no particular order.
Gotta love Miraās balls in this one. But Melgrenās response is the reason this quote is here. Canāt say heās not self awareā¦
-25 days!
āYouāre a callous asshole,ā she fires back. āThank you.ā
Of all the book-boyfriends in the Empyrean series, I'm in love with Augustine Melgren.
He's such a tragic character. Imagine you're twenty and came to college to have fun and sleep around and maybe kill some people and then suddenly you have the ability to see the aftermath of every fight. Not only is that traumatic in itself, but also you're so important to the army now that you'll never be able to leave. Never retire, never even take a holiday. Imagine making friends, or dating, when at any moment you could see visions of your loved ones dying.
Imagine you're twenty and you're told you are the solution to a centuries long war.
Okay, you don't have to imagine it because I'm writing a fic about it.
Tyrrish Accent
"Good afternoon, general Sorrengail, general Melgren." The title managed to sound disrespectful in Xaden Riorson's mouth even as his military posture was perfect.
"Good afternoon, Cadet Riorson." Lilith Sorrengail narrowed her eyes as she nodded at Xaden. She expected he was was used to it by now. No matter the setting, she was simultaneously ready to put an arrow in his chest and pleased he'd turned out to be just the example she'd wanted to make of him.
Augustine Melgren frowned outright, but waited until the rising squad leader had moved on to his station for Threshing before turning to Lilith.
"What... was that?"
"So you noticed it too." Lilith shook her head. The Marked Ones were her project, her reputation on the line and her philosophical investigation in the nature of rehabilitation. She wouldn't let Melgren smell weakness. "I think it's just his accent."

Okay this theory about Imogen and Melgren is wild! Omg but i kinda love it.
The only things that bothers me is that Melgren HAS to be a venin for the line of thinking to work and I am not really convinced on that.
But other than this, imagine that! Oh my god.

*Edited on 12/15/2023 to add Aaric and Devera.*
*Edited on 12/22/2023 to add assorted details*
*Edited on 01/03/2024 to update Aaricās name and alias (I know his actual middle name is Aaric, but the name/middle name/last name format ruined the āØaesthetic⨠since no one else has a known middle name)*
*Edited on 02/10/2024 because I realized on my reread that Jack pushing energy on Violet likely isnāt actually a manifestation of his signet, as much as it is him using Venin powers*
*Edited on 09/18/2024 since Xaden gave us new information on Emery*
*Edited on 01/19/2025 to add Cianna*
*Edited on 01/20/2025 to add Nyra*
*Editing to add new OS information*
Made this because I know Iāll forget many details by time book 3 comes out, and I figured Iād share it for those interested. Itās a combination of information from my own read throughs, and from The Empyrean Wiki.
Please let me know if you see any mistakes, or if you have more to add.
I decided against doing Flyers for the time being, as what information we have is rather limited.

My crack theory for today -
The Marked Ones donāt have a second signet. Melgren does.
This is what Xaden says about Colonel Mairiās protection rune: āIt was designed to counter the signet of the rider whose dragon would kill them.ā
We know they can āhideā themselves from Melgrenās ability to see the outcome of a battle, but what if their prowess for fighting (inherent agility, quick reflexes, strength or even their tactical skills) is also in response to another signet of Melgrenās?
I canāt wrap my head around the possibility that the Marked Ones would have gotten a second signet from the Rebellion relic, because that would imply Xaden has three signets. Him having that much power and not losing his mind would discredit the entire Empyrean magic system. It seems much more plausible to me that they would have gained these skills - and not a signet - in response to a potential second signet of Melgrenās.
Itās been too long since IF came out. Iāve had too much time to ponder random shit. I need it to be the 21st already.
