⚔️Narben⚔️

Narben is a weapon even older than Gwydion ( Starsword) . Narben possesses dark, formidable magic and amarantha dumped it in ocean when she couldnt wield it . Amren even says that if the King of Hybern had it, they might have lost the war. Do you think it will be rediscovered, and if the Inner Circle finds it, who will wield it? Feyre seems to be the only female main character who doesn't have a sword of her own in the Maasverse. Another guess might be Elain, if she learns to fight with a sword. Nesta already has Ataraxia and Gwydion, so I don't think it will be her.

This sword seems to be a sentient being that will choose its wielder itself because it won't bend to anyone , even Amarantha couldn't master it. So what are your theories about this? Are we going to explore this mystery in the next books, or will Sarah forget about the sword she mentioned in Silver Flames?

but but Feyre only get rescued by men , her whole arc is about being dependent on men ☺️ Okay karen ☺️

Art by @nicki.li_

Lets discuss canon Feyre Archeron who frequently risks her life to rescue her family, friends, and entire courts..

  1. Started hunting at 14 , saved her family from starvation.

  2. After learning amarantha took Tamlin and Lucian she went to UTM to rescue them, made deadly bargain and almost died to save pyrithian.

  3. Helped water wraiths by giving them jewel and saved them from Tamlin's wraith ..

  4. When Rhys's suddenly get shot with ash arrow and got kidnapped and chained by hybern forces in the cave , she uses her hunting skills , find them and eliminate hybern cronies and save Rhys ( as shown in the artwork above) she is can turn quite vicious 🖤😈

  5. When Feyre and IC went on mission to hybern land , they got tricked and trapped ,admist betrayal from Tamlin, injured Azriel and cassian , her sisters forcefully turned fae , she devices a quick plan and trick hybern and Tamlin into believing into breaking her bond with Rhys, which helps freeing injured IC and vulnerable sisters from hybern claws..

  6. Rescue Lucian from ianthe when he almost got SA'd by her and then she punishes her by making ianthe destroy her own hands .Feyre can be quite cruel 😈🫣

  7. Kills hybern twins who hunted and killed Children of blessed for their amusement, further ensuring those twins don't cause more harm to both human and spring court residents after she is gone( for those who believe Feyre didnt care about people in spring court)

  8. She wasn't even high lady but she still jumps into fighting the hyberns soldier when velaris got attack and also iconic battle with attor in the sky .

“This is for Rhys,” I hissed in its pointed ear.

Silvery blood warmed my fingers. The Attor screamed.

I yanked out my dagger, blood flying up, splattering my face.

“This is for Clare.”

The ground swelled up to meet us. Ten feet—

Burning skin ripped away from my flesh as I dragged the creature tightly against me.

“And this,” I gasped. I slid my dagger in a third time, relishing the splintering of bones and flesh. “This is for me.”

Five feet.

“I’ll see you in hell,” I whispered in the creature’s ear.

And I winnowed out, leaving the Attor behind.

(VICIOUS FEYRE IS SO ICONIC 😩🤤)

  1. Shape-shifts to infiltrate the King of Hybern’s camp alongside Azriel to rescue Elain after she is kidnapped by the enemy, on top of that also rescues a human girl named Briar who was being tortured in the King of Hybern's camp while rescuing Elain, refusing to leave her behind.

  2. Helps defend the Summer Court when Hybern launches a surprise attack on Adriata.Both Morr and Feyre were iconic in this scene (very underrated and under-appriciated rescue )Literally saves whole summer court from the hybern along with Rhys and Morr

  3. When the King of Hybern sends two Ravens to capture Nesta, Feyre leads them down to the pit where Bryaxis destroys them. In exchange, Bryaxis asks not for blood or souls, but for company and stories about life , later secure bargain with to fight for them in the war ( bargain queen 👑)

  4. Makes another bargain and faces ourboros to secure bone carver's alliance to fight in the war .

  5. Tries to save Suriel's life but couldnt save him 😩😭 , so she lured ianthe to weaver's cottage and did the job of delivering ianthe as food to weaver 😁🍴

  6. Creates Light Shields with the High Lords' Powers As the cauldron releases massive waves and blasts of dark energy across the battlefield, Feyre draws upon the combined magic given to her by the seven High Lords to project shields of pure light, helping to buffer and protect her allies from being destroyed. Also bargains her own Soul with the Cauldron , When the King of Hybern pin down Cassian and Nesta, preparing to strike them, Feyre rushes to the Cauldron. Unable to physically overpower it, she mentally reaches out and offers her own life and soul to the Cauldron in exchange for sparing her family.

She attempts to use the "Book of Breathings" (she believed at the time that it contained a nullifying spell before amren tricked her ) to directly bind or suppress the Cauldron's power before it can obliterate the rest of their forces.

By physically binding herself to the Cauldron and offering herself up, Feyre creates a crucial distraction buying just enough time for Elain to sneak up and stab the King of Hybern through the throat with Truth-Teller.

Phew 😮‍💨 that was a lot 😅 kinda tired watching people reducing Feyre's arc into nothing , the thing is YES, Feyre did get rescued too but lying about that she did nothing or just always was dependent on others to save her is not okay , because canon says otherwise , she did the most saving and rescuing in this series , but look like it's still not enough for many 🤷

Our other beloved characters also did lot of saving and rescuing too , but it's not okay to erase Feyre being the biggest contributor .

Tamlin rescued Feyre when she got attacked by Naga's, she did hold off them for quite long time but in the end she was still human and was about to be devoured by them but got rescued by Tamlin, Than morr rescues Feyre from Spring court after Tamlin trapped her , Elain saves both cassian and nesta by stabbing hybern king , cassian and Azriel comes to rescue Lucian and Feyre from Lucian's brother , Rhys constantly helps Feyre throughout her trails UTM, Azriel went to save elain with Feyre to hybern camp , Feyre get rescued from her wedding by Rhys when she was having panicking, water wraiths saves Feyre and Amren from almost drowning , Nesta saves feysandnyx from dying , Nesta saves cassian from human queen Briallyn .

ACOTAR is literally about saving people when it matters most , but there are also characters who have failures and guilt when they didn't do it too , But most of the time I only see why Feyre didn't do this , or Feyre didnt do that , after doing so much for everyone, it's still not enough . She even helps people who hurt her and failed her when she needed them. What more they expect from her 😮‍💨🤷

Let’s Talk About The Stygian Spiders And Who They Become

Big spoilers for all Maasverse series.

“And old enemies will emerge from nightmares of the past.“

A long long time ago, way back when Queen of Storms was still in the works, an interviewer asked Sarah J. Maas if she had a favorite character. She answered:

>”Celaena/Aelin, of course. But I looove writing Manon’s scenes (I can unload my every horrible thought onto her), and Rowan’s scenes (because he’s…Rowan). And anything with Aedion (boyfriend looooves to push buttons). I also really, really loved the stygian spider in HOF—like, weirdly loved her.”

I’m sure we’ve all seen the spider on the cover of ACO7, and read the blurb about “old enemies” and OH BOY DO I HAVE A THEORY ABOUT THAT. I’ve actually been shouting this theory into the void for a little over a year AND I AM EXCITED!!

Not Possessed, But Born

I’ll dive right into it. Erawan’s Valg army collapsed upon his death, so no more Valg exist in Erilea, right?

>“The spider, somehow, was Valg. And not possessed, but born.”

Well, maybe not. Erawan’s armies were comprised of demons summoned from the Valg lands and bound into human hosts using wyrdstone. But the Stygian Spiders aren’t possessed - they came over through a portal with Maeve.

The power that bound Erawan’s armies to the Wyrdstone implanted in their hosts died with him. But the Stygian Spiders weren’t bound to Erilea by Erawan’s magic. Which means they likely stayed behind in Erilea after Erawan’s fall.

So what do we think happened to them After Erawan?

Prior to Erawan’s uprising, the Stygian Spiders were generally tolerated because (unlike the kharankui) they took steps to integrate themselves. They created a product of value and established trade. Granted, this was mostly done to lure in unsuspecting victims, but still. Spidersilk was a lure most merchants considered worth the risk.

However, in the wake of Erawan’s War, do you think Queen Aelin or King Dorian would let an established population of Valg continue to live and hunt in their lands? I think not.

So do we think they were killed off, or what? Glad you asked. I’ll tell you what I think they did - they walked right out of Erilea and into another world. Because the Stygian Spiders are world-walkers.

The Stygian Spiders followed Maeve into Erilea. They were not brought over, they walked of their own accord. They are as much world-walkers as she is. Remember, world-walking can be taught - Maeve and Aelin learned it from books. Hel’s Princes learned it from their enemy’s captured lieutenants. And the Spiders live by the Ferian Gap - a place shrouded in mist. A thin place. And the word ferian means “to transport.”

So where do we think the Spiders went After Erilea? I’ll give you a hint: I think we see them again. (And yes, I did capitalize “After Erawan”and “After Erilea” on purpose; thank you for noticing x)

Last we saw of them in ToG, the Stygian Spiders had just learned how to steal power. Falkan’s shapeshifter magic appears as “a little seed of light” glowing in Cyrene’s belly - doesn’t that imagery sound familiar? Where else have we seen magic in the form of a little glowing kernel or seed being transferred to another?

>Bryce's breath caught in her throat as an image of a Fae female kneeling at the foot of a throne appeared, a seed of light in her upheld hands. Smooth, delicate fingers closed around the Fae female's droplet of power. It flickered, illumining pale skin.

Again. The Stygian Spiders can shapeshift. They can world walk. They can steal power. They use lures to trap their prey. Are y’all picking up what I’m putting down?

The Wolf Shifters and the Asterion Fae

The Stygian Spiders have ancient beef with a certain wolf tribe who showed up at the 11th hour to slay their cousins, the kharankui. Said wolf tribe showed up with *magical blades that glow with starlight*, blades that were crafted by an ancient race of Fae with a *very* familiar name. The Asterion Fae were old allies of the Doranelle Fae, who took Asterion weapons to Antica and then to Terrasen, where they joined the Fabled Wolf Tribe.

Still with me? Ok.

Remember how in HOSAB, a certain other group of world-walking, shape-shifting, magic-stealing bad guys bragged about how the shifter fae “didn’t see the old enemy that reached a friendly hand across time and space?” Who was the old enemy again?

The Old Enemy

>“But you know who they hate even more?” Aelin pointed with Goldryn toward the battlefield. “Those spiders. Nesryn Faliq told me all about how their ancestors battled them in the southern continent.

Remember how in HOFAS, we learn that this race of “ancient monsters” suddenly started going by a new, very familiar name around the same time that they *lured* the shifter fae into their new land? Remember how the wolf shifters - likely the descendents of a certain fabled wolf tribe - were said to be their most loyal soldiers??

The Daglan went back in time and space to lure their old enemy into Midgard. And they went back disguised as friends - the legendary Asterion Fae.

Ancient Monsters

Remember how we see one of these ancient monsters crawling out of her glass coffin “like a hatching spider”? And this particular creature has onyx hair, moon white skin, and unnaturally red lips - just like a certain spider queen?

How about the fact that Rigelus’s magic burns like acid and “spiderwebs” across Hunt’s brow, that Hunt claims it feels like insects crawling inside him.

Rigelus in Fae form:
> He appeared as a Fae boy of seventeen or so, dark-haired and gangly. A weak facade to veil the ancient monster beneath.

Cyrene in human form:
> Small and unremarkable, save for those unnerving black eyes. Not pretty, but with a deadly, ancient sort of allure that even a new hide couldn’t conceal.

Cyrene is *also* described as an “ancient monster” by Manon.

The Dawn of the Asteri Era

Speaking of Cyrene, the Stygian spider that SJM “weirdly loved” - she becomes the first Stygian spider to steal magic and shapeshift.

She’s also the first Stygian spider to see the true potential in Dorian’s raw power - also known as first light.

>Cyrene sucked in a breath. “A rare gift of magic.” **Her stare turned ravenous** as she took in Dorian. “For a rare king.”

Cyrene - the spider that captured Sarah’s heart all the way back in HoF - is the first to realize that if her people learn to take *raw power* rather than beauty and dreams and years, then some day they might learn to wield it. The Asteri Era begins with her.

Want some other interesting things to think about?

How about the 7 Valg princesses that the Kharankui revered? How about the fact that a Valg queen sacrificed herself and six of those princesses hybridized with her trusted handmaidens to Erawan’s war. The Stygians live right by the Ferian Gap where Erawan kept his aerial legion - instead Maeve kept her control over them a secret and opened a portal to bring up the kharankui all the way from the south.

How about the fact that the Valg, including the spiders, feared fire above all - and the Asteri live in a Crystal Palace and sleep in glass sarcophagi.

How about the fact that the Stygian Spiders hale from the Ruhnn Mountains? Or that the kharankui come from the Dagul Fells? Or that the kharankui are enemies of an aerial legion from Windhaven?

So anyway, that spider on the cover of ACO7 has me stoked for what comes next.

Feyre's back tattoo ?

“I smiled at him, bathing in that power, and sent an image into his mind. Of the column of my spine, now inked from my base to my nape with four phases of the moon. And a small star in the middle of them.”

Does Feyre also have 8 pointed star in her back tattoo ?? she got it after her bargain with bone carver . I only found one description of her back tattoo but it only says small star in the middle..

There are other fanart of her tattoo where between th e moon phases , it's 3 peak of mount Ramiel and each have star on top of it !

Cultural appropriation of Illyrian wings ??

Feyre is a shapeshifting High Fae who inherited powers from all seven High Lords, including Rhysand (who is half-Illyrian). When she grows wings, she isn't wearing a costume or mimicking a traditional garment she is utilizing a biological capability granted by her magic.

Its not like she asked to have those wings or any powers. She was given those powers and any other traits that comes after becoming High fae .She literally died after breaking the curse and mother granted her those power to Feyre . Let's be real none of high lords resurrected Feyre knowing they are actually giving her powers too .They themselves were unaware that Feyre inherited those powers .My theories is that Feyre was given those powers by mother through High lords just like mother let nesta have some powers despite cauldron wanted back .It's means Mother plays bigger role and find these girls worthy of these powers .

Feyre now naturally have Wings , so how is it cultural appropriation if she have something that naturally grows out of her back ???? Feyre does not manifest wings for fashion or aesthetic dominance , she learns to use them out of physical necessity first to escape, fight in war, and traverse high-altitude mountainous terrain alongside her court.She literally trained by Azriel who is illiyrian himself .

People literally make stupidest arguments just to hate Feyre 😑
