The Blue Bird (spoiler for book 7 & 6)
You know it's like 3 PM here and I still wonder if this is a coincidence or not.
So I made this post in my old account about how both Silver's card has a blue bird in it. Now I haven't search other cards to prove this coz there's like, bazillion of them (hyperbole). But among all Silver cards, those two card are the only one who has the Blue bird in it, and both card has Idia as the main focus in the vignettes.
Which is just weird?? I don't even know if this is far fetched or not. Maybe it is, I'm just a Silidia shipper after all, of course I would obsess about their itti bitti card detail. But blue bird has been Silver shit, yknow? The Silver Owl uses blue as their accent color. Heck the blue bird tapestry on Silver's wall seems owl like, it's definitely a foreshadowing. So why in every card that depicts a blue bird in the Silver's groovy... Has Idia as the main secondary character?
(Please take this theory with heavy salt coz I'm just purely speculating)
I am sure that STYX/Jupiter has something to do with the advanced technology The Silver Owl used at that time. I'm not sure how behind the Briar Kingdom was when it comes to tech, but to treat a heavy vehicle like that in such shock...
Basically the Jupiter took advantage the human-fae war to take Briar's rare mineral, they sponsored the human side with high tech destruction vehicles. It just makes sense since Jupiter gets it's fortune from RARE metals....
Mystium might doesn't look like a metal, but it is described as rare metal in several translation.... Which just kinda proves my point.
A bit of a weak proof, but STYX having a magic deflecting defense is very very interesting... Perhaps it was improved among time to continue the colonization of other fae countries... But that's a very far fetched theory since STYX is an independent organization. Still, STYX is connected to Jupiter, so maybe there's a share when it comes to technology usage... When it was used by Jupiter for war against faes, now STYX uses it to catch phantom/overblotees instead. Again, this is very very far fetched.
Also I find it interesting that when Idia and Ortho talks about 'potentially' Hades revolting over Zeus... They didn't revere them as "The Underworld Watcher". All great seven were revered without their real name. And they revere the titans as the original phantom, meaning that the titans were already in phantom form when the first Shroud revolts. Meaning.... They were NOT talking about Hades! Do you think the first Shroud revolts because of the human-fae war, and was disagreeing with the Jupiter sponsoring Silver Owl so they can reap Mystium for their business? Was the first Shroud is very pro-fae?? Is Idia's friendship with Lilia is a foreshadowing of what was the connection between the first Shroud and the faes???????? AAAAARGh
It's very interesting if this is true. It's not only Silver's ancestors (dad) who were complicit with the winning of humankind in the human-fae war, but perhaps, Idia's ancestors too. In which both are failing in trying to go against the force of colonization. Knight of Dawn failed to rebel because of his position and the nasty gaslighting from Henrik, The First Shroud (in my assumption) failed in the attempt to stop the Jupiters from supporting The Silver Owl by unleashing the Titans, in which concludes him to suffer as the Tartarus keeper. And in conclusion, both ancestors ends up giving their successor, Silver and the Shroud bloodline, the Curse/Blessing.
BUT ITS THEORY... A GAME THEORY..... BTW If Idia is coded as the OG Bluebird fairytale in Silidia ship... His love language would definitely be gift giving... HAHAHA
