@salty.reads: No I actually WON’T be shutting up about this Fourth Wing theory because I’m fully convinced Naolin is the leader of the venin and that is why Tairn refuses to talk about him. #fourthwing #ironflame #naolin #venin #empyreanseries
I can’t be the only one that remembers in fourth wing Tairn telling X not to try to read him. What if the “secret” Sgaeyl hid from him was that x was already turned. Why would he say don’t read me?

IVE BEEN SAYING THIS. The rune shaped scar on Brennan’s hand has me thinking he is Wyvern. Violet has brought it up so many times how it’s weird Brennan has one, but can’t figure out from where because he doesn’t get a scar any other times she thinks he would. And when Xayden said he couldn’t kill on of the venin in Onyx Storm had me thinking it’s Naolin and he figured out if he killed Naolin it would kill Brennan and he couldn’t do that to Violet.

Brennen said he was dead but I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s venin

I don’t think he’s dead. I do think he turned for love. I don’t think he’s the maven. The maven has waited centuries for someone with Violets power.

When he’s revealed to be alive and venin it’s literally going to be like when people watched no way home in the cinema and saw Andrew Garfield for the first time. The booktok audience is going to be LOUDDDD

Naolin is Berwyn.. General Daramor is the jealous brother who turned Venin from Fables of the Barren-he’s the Venin General-the one who wants to wield Violet and comes to her in a dream in the beginning of IF and described as having veins from his eyes and down his cheeks.. my theory 😂

at the beginning of iron flame Brennan never says that anything about Noalin's body. all he says is he woke up on the hillside. if you're trying to heal someone where are you? directly over them. when Violet was entering burnout on the wardstone her muscles locked into place. if Noalin died healing Brennan he would have fallen onto Brennan. RY doesn't skip details.

Maybe Brennan’s also the brother that they were demanding they bring to him. Considering him and violet were practically married that would make them brothers in law

Let’s follow this thread together: If Brennan has been raised by a venin (Naolin), and we know that wyvern raised by venin are controlled by their “creator”, do we think that would mean that Naolin is using Brennan as a puppet? If not, then what level of autonomy would Brennan have while being a raised being?

I started rereading the series a couple days ago and came across these lines and immediately stopped and thought this! My girl Rebecca needs to hurry it up 🤣

And the fact that dragons can break the bond with their riders….that could have happened…

The venin in Violets dreams is hundreds of years old. He says as much in iron flame. I think he’s one of the first six. Probably Warick since he was lying in his journal.

My latest theory is Tairn is Malek. He’s not dying for any rider, including Naolin or Violet. The second most powerful dragon? Nah. But he could have forced Naolin to turn to avoid death. Because as Malek he refused him. I think Tairn ks behind a lot of this lol

And Tairn NEVER acknowledges his “death”. Anytime Violet apologizes for Naolin dying he always answers with that!!
