Do we know what city it is that Keefe finds Alvar in in unravelled or is it heavily implied that it’s from a certain part of the world.
I’m writing a kotlc fanfic and part of it is gonna take place in the forbidden cities and im trying to figure out whether it makes sense for Alvar to show up
Thx
This isn’t a fully formed theory it’s barley even a half formed one it’s just all the things to make a theory but I think that jolies death, prentices mind breaking, cyrah dying and ceprise getting all so close together is not a coincidence so jolies death was the futherst apart but still only 2yrs before prentice (who recruited her and was probably her main point of contact dyes and when Sophie goes through prentices mind firstly she was important enough to be how prentice presented himself but when Sophie first in in exile (the place and the book) there is firstly memories of lots of different places (including the statue which lead to versparas nighfall which might suggest what he was researching or what he knew) but Sophie sees jolie and it’s not like the other times where they talk and have a conversation it almost feels like a memory something jolie actually says to prentice she says “it will be ok” “we have to trust” “you have to go” “I make u feel safe don’t I” which for the last one if it isn’t a memory and she’s saying that to Sophie then how would prentice know that jolie makes him feel safe as obviously it does as Jolie looks like her parents/ Sophie’s parents but how would prentice know that unless firstly it was always the plan for Sophie to get adopted by Grady and Edaline or jolie made prentice feel safe.
Ok now for the second part sorry this is long cyrahs death and ceprises accident (which we now know both on purpose) and given how they were friends and ceprise had one of cyrahs start stones I think they are related as they happened in the same year (all of the timeline stuff it just guessing as the kotlc timeline is so messed up but even if it’s not the same year it’s still very closes together) I have a couple theories on this firstly they were both looking into the same thing so the neverseen needed to get ride of them as we don’t know ceprises ability (I think I have not been able to find it anywhere but merellas dad has a ability and they are a good match so she has to have one) or ceprise could be apart of the neverseen and help plan cyrahs death and couldn’t deal with the gift so she jumped off but it only left her brain damage and along with the guilt it means she struggles to regulate her emotions
The timeline I have made and have been following is
2 years before Sophie’s birth
Jolie died
2yr after Sophie’s birth
Prentices mind breaks
3 years after Sophie’s birth
Cyrah dies
Ceprises accident (could be 2 years)

Prentice mind breaking: unlocked pg 158
Cyrahs death: unlocked pg 159
Ceprise accident: neverseen pg 525
Then I also have references for the character ages as it’s basically wylie is 5 school years older than Sophie but because her age was wrong at the beginning we need to add another 9 months to her age which they say in neverseen she could have gone in the school years above so she is probably closer to 4 years but anyway the events definitely were close enough to make it seem like the neverseen or whoever caused theses were ticking people off of a list people that knew something
