So, my brother barged into my room, looked through my entire bookshelf, and asked which one he should start reading. I obviously recommended the WFS, so we talked about it, and I summarized the entire saga and lectured him on each part of the story.
These were his best questions: (Some from my mom, too)
• How old is Artham?
• Does Janner come back to life and stay with Sara?
• Artham keeps his wings and claws, or is he healed in the first well?
• Does Kalmar stay with Galya or Maraly?
• How many children does Artham have after the series ends? (lol)
• How long does it take for Anniera to be rebuilt?
• What is the first well?
• How does Artham propose to Arundelle (??)
That was it! Feel free to answer them if you'd like! 😃
He said Artham is the best
💖
You gave them spoilers??????? 😱
Okay, here are my thoughts!
I'm guessing Artham is in his early to mid forties. He could be late thirties. I'm guessing Nia is mid thirties, and of a similar age to Esben or younger, and Artham is older than Esben.
I think Janner comes back (there are enough hints of that in the story) and I think he eventually marries Sara. Even though he's only 13, and he barely knows Sara (he's only spent parts of 3 or 4 days with her ever, and most of those were only a few minutes), they were each a huge inspiration to the other all through the series. I think they would become great friends. But you don't remain close friends with someone of the opposite gender if you marry someone else. All the readers everywhere would be devastated if Janner and Sara didn't stay close friends, so I think they get married.
He gets healed and the talons and wings go away. And yes, I did write a post about this. 😉 It's called "My Unpopular Opinion About Artham." 😊
Kalmar is 11 and won't be getting married anytime soon, so we have no way of knowing who he marries! (but I really, really think it won't be Maraly) It could be Galya, but I think it's just as likely that he'll marry some sweet Annieran girl we've never heard of!
Artham will probably have a couple of kids! (one of my lesser reasons for why he can't stay melded; the cloven can't have children) Anniera and the Green Hollows are having a major population crisis now and everyone needs to have a bunch of kids, but given his and Arundelle's likely ages, they'll probably only have a couple.
Anniera will be rebuilt enough to function within a few months, but it will take years to be restored to its former glory. And then it will exceed its former glory. (Well, except for the glory of Anyara before Ouster Will and Yurgen caused so much trouble)
It's the first well in the world! A gift from the Maker to Dwayne and Gladys!
I suspect they're engaged before they get back to the ground when they're reunited, and I bet they're married before the month is out!
#1 I always saw Artham somewhere in his forties.
#2 In my mind… YES!
#3 the way Chris Wall put it… he keeps his talons. He said the first well probably doesn’t heal scars… but it’s not really specified.
#4 I want to say Maraly, just because I love her character and she’s… just awesome. I also don’t know Galya that well so…
#5 ha! That’s for anyone to decide really. I see him having two or three though.
#6 I can see it being at least a year..
#7 It’s the well the Maker put in Aerwiar. ‘The lifeblood of Aerwiar’ as Nia put it in TWS Season 1 Episode 6. It has healing powers.
#8 I’m… not sure. Again, it’s your imagination! 😁It was prolly awkward and adorable though.
In my universe, I have him about 44-45 at the end of the saga.
YES--
I think he is healed. Andrea wrote a whole amazing post about it, and if you can find that post she explained it so perfectly, I highly recommend it! But to summarize it, anything that comes from the melding is purely wrong, so all though he is better, he is still broken, because of all of those issues that he has! So yes, he needs to be (as cool as Eagle Artham is)
I mean....Gayla is nice but I never was able to get to know her as a character and so I put him with Maraly, but until I can think of something better, I say Maraly XD
I give him two. Both of them were born before the war in my story
A few months to a year.
A gift bestowed on Aerwiar by the Maker in His grace, even after Ouster Will poisoned it.
I wrote about how I think it would go right here! I just make it as sweet and fluffy and awkward as I can lol! (yes I do it pre-War, I just want that to be :D)
And yes! Artham is the B E S T.
Here's some cookies if you made it through all that 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪
Artham is maybe 30 years old? perhaps mid or late thirties?
i'm on team Janner comes back, so i think so😏
I think Artham keeps his wings and claws
i think he'll stay with Gayla
umm idk😂
Maybe a few years.
Uuuuuh actually now that i think about it, i have no clue
🤷♀️
