In this post Im gonna talk about the possible connection between Narben and Elain's connection to Bloudewedd.

I talked about why I think Narben would be a spear in these posts. Post 1 and Post 2

To sum it up

Sarah takes inspo from Arthurian legends. In these legends Arthur has 3 weapons—a sword, a knife and a spear. We got 2...a sword (gwydion) and a knife (Truth-teller) which one is missing? A spear

Another thing is Fionn. In myths Fionn has a spear. In acotar world Fionn is the acotar Arthur? He got gwydion and Tt...where is his spear?

Now how this ties to Bloudewedd? @wingedblooms wrote a wonderful post about it. You can check it out here.

To sum up Bloudewedd.

She is created to be Llew wife. Flower faced her name

She sees some other man and they fall in love

She wants to get rid of Llew.

Now this is where the theory comes in. Llew says he is not easy to kill and there needs to be some situations to happen for him to be killed.

One of them? A spear. But the important part:

That very night, Llew returns home. Following a day of feasting and festivity in celebration of his return, Llew and Blodeuwedd take to bed. Llew speaks to her, but she does not respond. Again he tries, and still she does not respond. On the third try, having grown concerned, Llew presses her for an answer as to whether something is wrong. Carefully, Blodeuwedd explains that she would be quite upset should Llew be taken from her by an untimely death. Llew, thrilled at his wife’s apparent care for his well-being, readily tells her of the specific way he must be harmed in order to be killed: “‘Not easily can I be killed, except by a wound. And the spear wherewith I am struck must be a year in the forming. And nothing must be done towards it except during the sacrifice on Sundays’” (Guest 42)

Spear...and a wound...

What Narben means?

Im gonna add german screenshots.

Wunde = wound.
