I’ve noticed people wanting to start discussions on various topics related to The Arinthian Line, Fury of a Rising Dragon, etc in the comments section of the blog posts, which in turn get buried over time. This discussion page should help (scroll to the very bottom to post your own thought/question, or reply to someone else along the way). I’ll weigh in//respond in between bouts of writing/editing when I can.

Let me kick things off by quoting a reader, who said, “What I find inspiring is that I think we can all find a little of ourselves in each of the characters.”

All right, so which of the characters do you relate to, and why?

If that question doesn’t inspire you, perhaps one of these will:

What’s your favorite scene?

Who is your favorite villain?

What’s your favorite spell? Why?

Which light-hearted scene did you enjoy the most? Why?

Which scene was the most thrilling for you?

Otherwise, have any questions, ideas, thoughts? Leave a comment below, and we’ll see how it goes!

  1. Non arcane ritual like mya,aa that is rare and you never know,Also we got to think about how’s its effecting her is there a demon inside that will do damage to the baby or..?

    The rivican ruins might happen as sever bronny has mentioned that before.

    This is a side note, due to duels,and other things please try to remember to tell people in chat that your going on a vacation/break especially with duels and so that people don’t think there being ignored.I just was thinking about because of of John and Kadens duel.

      5. Its basically a place of power and a job. Now i am not going to explain what each job is but somemone else might. But if you read the 1st series you will know them all. Probaly.

      7. That’s great Marek!

        Attendant, I don’t think there is a demon in Leera that would harm the baby. Leera cannot give birth at all, because what Tyranecron’s curse did was ravage her required parts, which we can assume to be the egg cells and stuff. But it is an arcane curse, so it doesn’t seem likely that a non-arcane ritual would do anything, unless it was like a bunch of transplants or something.

  2. Hey y’all, just got back from Trek to find a great email from Sever Bronny!
    He approved Augum’s Theme being posted, so here it is:
    https://www.noteflight.com/scores/view/86a30cc19d247606bc5b5846284f3cb5f4726b95

    Just FYI, the sound and dynamics aren’t great and there’s not much emotion because of the site it’s on. Once I beat some tendonitis that I have I’ll practice it on the piano, and then record it and see if I can post it anywhere.

    1. Bravo!!! (Audible clapping insues)Great job,I loved line 47-51 were probably my favorite,I loved the outro,it fading away.I personally didn’t like the accelerated bit I forgot what line though.Great job overall!

      1. Thank you :)

        yeah, if you’re talking about measure 13 that was probably my least favorite part. just didn’t sound quite right, idk, maybe I can fix that when I can record it

      2. Amazing! It is all good! nothing bad at alllllll! thoguh i slightly agree with Atticus. Just a teeny teeny bit.

      4. That’s great Nathan! If you change the tone, the faster parts sound like a band called DragonForce.

  4. Okay, so I have been waiting to post this like all day long, but I was at Six Flags Great Escape all day long. So uh, yeah, here ya go! So yesterday I was talking to Marek while swimming in the pool. I was talking about my theories on the series and stuff. Marek was telling me they all were wrong, and dumb too. Way to boost my self esteem MAREK. LOL. Anyways, I was thinking, since Leera can’t have children, would it be possible to like go to the mountain monks and ask them how they can like get rid of the curse? Or like ask how she could have children? I do not think that I have read if the trio have used their one question yet. Sorry that this is as long as it is. MUHHAHAHA! I don’t know why I had the need to type in MUHAHAHA. It’s just a normal thing now. LOL.

    1. There is supposed to be a , after self esteem. So read it like “way to boost my self esteem, MAREK.”

    2. And now we’ve brought back the Leera’s children debate that I thought dead.

      Yes, actually, that would probably be the best scenario proposed so far. I think we give the Mountain Monks less credit than they deserve. And none of the trio has used their question yet. But this would simplify the duo’s (Augum and Leera’s) search for an answer because they’d tell them what to do.

      They probably would not be able to rid Leera of her curse, as that would be master-level healing, and the knowledge most likely rests in the upper floors of the Library of Ley. There are no known Masters alive (ignoring Ley). Plus, the Monks are Seers, but not specifically warlocks. Naomi (think that’s how you spell it) tells us that the Ohmish people dislike arcanery, so the Monks, the highest on the wisdom-heirarchy, probably are not warlocks, simply men and women dabbling in an “acceptable” part of arcanery.

      1. Ok well they would have to word it perfectly like if they said how can The Arinthian line continue they might say “make love” with another person,like one eyes question ,”can I sit down?”.haha*So it would probaly either be a necromantic ritual**,a leyan healer ritual,a dragon ritual*** or a scion needed ritual,oh ya or a rare otb ritual non Arcane though.Ooh ya also a Rivican spell there could be someone or something in the ruines of dragon ra and occuluses castle.And an arcane ritual vis the vault and or ancient ruins,arcives,etc

        *I personally don’t like using haha to display I’m laughing as I feel like it’s laking emotion as well as lol,but I can’t think of anything else

        **This is where a “good” necrpmancer comes in that Mr.Bronny has talked about.

        ***They might need to go enlist a dragons help super dangerous but worth it.

        By the way I’m in hst time

      2. Yeah, the question would have to be perfect, and that could be done with the help of Bridget and Jengo (maybe Mr. Goss, he helped with the witch ritual). A long ways back in this discussions page though, Mr. Bronny claimed that a baby born of necromancy, even from a good necromancer, would be a monstrous child. I agree with it perhaps being Leyan knowledge, but the dragon part also is smart. Mr. Bronny did say that healing dragons existed on Endraga Ra, they just weren’t in that region, so imagine what knowledge a healing dragon could have, crossed with the much much stronger casting of spells. The scions are no more and probably will stay that way unless an Occulus-level threat arises. I don’t understand the non-arcane ritual, what does that mean? As for a Rivican spell, perhaps, as the most powerful known spell is the Rivican spell Cron (except for maybe Spirit of the Dragon), and that could be a reason Mr. Bronny put the Rivican ruins in Endraga Ra. I doubt it would be in the Vault, as it would date back many centuries ago, maybe even Pre-Founding, and for that same reason, I highly doubt it being in the Archives of the thousand-year-old Academy.

        Wow. Well, I won’t be here till Friday, so this’ll be interesting to see then!

  5. Ok some news,I’m going to be leaving for two weeks,so I won’t be able to participate converse In duels,but will go on everyday to check things and converse.Sorry if I take longer to reply then usual.

    Sincerely,
    Attendant Atticus Monroe

      1. Bummer. On a related note, I’ll be gone Sunday-Friday this week, but not logging on. See y’all!

      2. “How dare you!” Kaden WildFire yells in mock(Kinda)anger.”I deserve a rank more than that lowlife Marek.Even the name is horrible.

        P.S. I was joking. Just was adding drama.

      3. I think if another rank is bestowed/voted for, it should also have a standing. Like I track Arena gold, and Attendant Atticus is Mr. Bronny’s whatchamacallit who handles things while he’s not here.

      4. Do you mean a job. Like who ever becomes senior arcaneoligist should be the judge. And be able to make some rules. And get a floafting chair.

      5. Or if someone would be head Master of ceremonies, they would be present for all duels* and would be the master of ceromonies.Personally if this rank does comes out (this is just what I think not trying to be rude)I would think it might be best for kaden because he likes doing it and has done it on multiple occasions.

        *There might need to be a secondary Master of Ceremonies,doing it whenever the Head Master of ceremonies can’t but that would probably wouldn’t be a complete rank maybe just one with another.

        Sorry if there’s any mistakes or flaws,I literally just woke up and came up with this.

      6. I think i like that. and it sounds that would be a pretty cool thing. Plus i am definatley on the most. But i am not sure if its a title.

  6. Hum. Leera’s cats name is Sir Pawsolat AKA BumbleButt, and Bridget’s dogs name is Sabby. I have not read the FoaRD series quite yet, I am half way through the fifth book in AL. But, I am a terrible person and read ahead in books and might have, heh, ‘stumbled’ across the names of the pets.
    Sorry I didn’t post this a little bit earlier.

      1. Yes the worst stumble ahead I did (Moira don’t read this post) was in FoaRD I was reading and on kindle there’s this X-ray feature so I was messing around and did people’s names like augum a,Leera s,etc and I did this one fateful name Katrina guess what I learned her last name,ARGH DONT BE SO EFFICENT KINDLE,I just am interested in what you’ll pull up.So that’s how kindle gave spoilers away.

      2. Oof. I was reading Mercy’s Trial (again, don’t read this Moira) and accidentally discovered the whole become-dragons-instead-of-summon-dragons thing… saddest moment ever.

      4. MOIRA DONT READ THAT. DONT LAY YOUR EYES ON IT! DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!!! DO-NOT-DO-OR-THINK-ABOUT-IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  7. Warning the following question will give away MAJOR SPOILERS,so if you have not read most of tAL then Please do not read (That means you Moira!!)

    Who killed robin?
    Simple as that

      1. The Destiny Stone. When Augum broke it, all of the ghosts of people Robin killed appeared and stabbed/sliced him, and Mya was last, slicing his throat and killing him.

      3. My names The Walrus because that’s basically what I use for everything (and it’s from a Beatles song) and I haven’t read any of Sever Bronny’s books, I’m just here because of my friend Marek

      6. Wait. You helped write rubies right? I have not gotten around to reading it though.

      7. I’m not really helping write it, I’m sort of just on it and I go on the doc occasionally. I’m just on the list of names who helped write it. It doesn’t help that I’ve never read the books it’s based off of lol

  9. So I know that this is kind of stupid and all (and I really have never done a duel. AT ALL.) but, I have finally picked out a nickname for my character Charlotte! ‘The Phoenix’. I do not know if somebody already had this nickname but there. Charlotte ‘The Phoenix’ Dreads.

    4. Want to duel Charlotte dreads,first degree first to 3 points wins?And yes I understand there’s another duel going on but it’ll be fun to try out to at once,also would someone like to be giavani

  10. Wich Series is better. Percy Jackson. Harry Potter. Eragon, orrrrr, ALL of Mr.Bronny’s books.

    4. Guys, I have a question! So take a moment to look at your Legend book, look at Castle Arinthian, and then look at Castle Arinthian in Honors Price. They look different, so I wanted your opinions on it.

      1. I think it was two different artests and legend has more flat spires while honors price is more pointed also sever bronny once posted a photo of it I think it was in fan art?

      2. I agree, probably different artists, but I choose to imagine it as the one on Honor’s Price. But the picture was a pic that inspired Castle Arinthian, not fan art, if we’re think of the same one.

      3. YOU DONT COUNT WALRUUUUUUSSSS!!!!!!!!!! Sorry I am a little angry. HOLD ME BACK!!!!! AAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHHHAHJCRHBFGHJVSJJDD!!!!!!!!!!!

      4. If Harry potters so cool… take THIS: Stupefy! HAHAHAWAHAWAWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      3. He doesn’t have mind armor so it goes through like snap
        Fun fact:HarryPotter has significantly less content and lore in the series totaling up to 8 books*,2mini books so ya compare that to 9 Awesome books,a dedicated author who will keep expanding the adventures and lore in the world**,while J.K Rowling has already moved on to “Ickabog”.

        *Including the cursed Child
        **Is it even classified as world or is it just a plane of existence like Ley?

      4. Anninhilo dio, Walrus, keep that phrase in mind in case such blaspheme is ever uttered here again.

        I agree with Attendant Atticus, the AL and FoaRD series have so much more lore, not to mention the spells are so much more complex than yelling “OOGA BOOGA!” and wiggling a stick.

  11. Remember read in valor(I think) that slow was not affected by mind armour and was countered by disenchanted via extension. Has this already been brought up? Might have been while they were learning alarm counter on clash. -Alexander Titan

    1. Umm… I’m pretty sure it attacks the mind, so mind armor would counter it. If you brought up the page, maybe we could discuss that though.

  14. Hiho Kermit the frog here! LOL just me. So, I am making a book about a former book that I read, it is a twist on a classic fairy tale, and I am making a book about the main characters children. Which, actually were mentioned at the end of the final book. It is basically fan fiction, but I am looking for the authors email to email her about the book. I don’t know if this will work, but, I wanted to send the book in this chat. I don’t know if it will work because it is with my school email and they are very strict with emailing and others things as such. So, uh yeah here is the link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/17aaC5ziKkx_tDsVBWVE20ZAEpbOWFofx_L7trEJuak4/edit
    If you are able to get onto it and change something, add your name to the thank you list. If it doesn’t work don’t worry it’s fine. I don’t mind at all. Thank you so much! -Moira

    1. Yeah, I’ll check that out! Sent a request for permission, cause Google’s so secret apparently

      3. Oh, here I am like “Fan fiction? Sure! Can’t be too long!” …ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY EIGHT PAGES WOW! Btw, not giving up, this’ll just take a while. And sorry in advance, I have a particular grammar structure and… yeah… But, I’m a very fast reader, so that’ll help!

  15. Hola everyone!!
    Sorry I’ve been gone so long, I kinda over loaded on Mr. Bronny’s universe, so I needed to just step back for a while before I jumped back in (I have no clue how Sever Bronny can do this constantly, not that it’s a bad universe, actually one of the best I’ve read, but anything gets tiring after a while). So now I am back, super hyped for Anna Stone’s book, and ready to discuss/debate/discover new topics and ideas with you guys!!
    First thing I wanna talk about: are any of you guys composers? I’ve done a little bit, and I’m thinking about maybe composing character themes (obviously with Sever Bronny’s permission, definitely dont want to take from his universe)

      2. Yeah, I also want to show his darker side, cause that side is part of augum’s struggle. and, I believe it to be the product of his life full of abuse and trauma

      3. I think if you were to make a theme it would show augum as a hero,brave,etc but it would also show his trauma like you said as well as the pressure he gets from everyone and last thing also in what leera think of him so that you can get every aspect of him

      4. Yeah that would be good, I’ll find a way to try to put that stuff in. perhaps a minor key for the trauma, I have the intro down in C major, and sort of the “forging process” written in E flat major, which is C minor so I’ll probably mix the trauma into the “forging process” part of the piece, which makes sense anyways. Than I have the beginnings of Augum’s main heroic theme, but I’m not happy with it yet. I’ll probably put leera’s tender loving part next and have it lead into a peaceful, happy ending.

      5. Headstrong and stubborn (in a good way), a bit reckless, compassionate, and wholesome (Dragon, duh)

    4. I play the violin. I have no idea if that counts or not. But I am guessing that it does. I have tried to write music before. But I am much better at playing the instrument. But alas, and sadly, I had to take my instrument back to the place we got it from because I did not want to have the trouble of practicing it anymore. Oh, and Marek plays the viola.

  16. Heres an tidbit Mr.Bronny wanted me to share with you guys (:

    As to Anna’s story (and feel free to pass this along to everyone): it’s complete and undergoing editing stage 2. It’s 20% longer than Burden’s Edge, and wholly from Anna’s point of view. It quickly skips through her crucial formative years in her childhood until she enters the academy, where she quickly makes a name for herself. She is empathic, kind, smart, strong, but also headstrong and volatile (you’ll see what I mean). The story focuses on a few things, but most notably her relationship with her sister and her family, particularly her father.

    Hope that nugget whets your appetite :)

    Tell everyone I said hi and that I’ll check in on them soon (pretty busy here due to the publishing side ramping up).

    1. Sorry my name got messed up also Devon your original punishmet was to be bowlanders slave as well as his tester for his totally real potions

      2. Top three worse punishments in solid #1*

        3.Being Erica Scarson’s pet/slave

        2.Being Robin scarson’s slave/tester of his necromantic spells

        1.Being Katrina Vonedgeworth’s slave,remember her painting of augum was a foot stool😂**

        *Might do more never no
        **Or being at all remotely related to her

    2. WILD ARCANERY I BET YOU THAT’S WHAT VOLATILE MEANS!!!

      But this sounds cool, I’m (duh) going to buy this the day it comes out!

      2. Mrs. Stone is very against Augum using wild arcanery, and it could come from experience. She also describes it as “volatile,” the same way Mr. Bronny describes her.

    3. WAIT A SEC, DEVON DO YOU HAVE A RANK NOW!!!??????? ‘Treasurer’?? I remember a while ago Mr. Bronny said I was really close to getting a rank, but CONGRATULATIONS!!

      2. I hope all the active people get ranks,every one active deserves it.Also I propose that each time someone gains a rank we do a celebration,mind that it would be text based so ya.

  17. ATTENTION! I have gotten bored and now usurped Slimwealth Senior. I am totally, 100%, the new Lord High Treasurer! Completely! For sure! Without objection!

    Tax

    1. Bleh,treason,Treason,I dare say!A userper of power such as this shall be hanged atop the black castle gates!
      Or should we burn him to the stake!Mwahaha!!!

      In the academic

      1. Mean while in the academy herald blasphemy this is most certainly a usurper of power let’s attach each leg and arm to a wagon and slowly kill this this…

        From the Academy Herald
        Cry Slimwealth

        The top one was mine as well

      1. Ugh,sorry I’m pulling rank
        As Attendant of the Antioc library and your unjust actions you are sentenced to live with bowlander mwahaha

      2. In the face of an… exceptionally cruel punishment (even for a traitor and tyrant), I am now just Treasurer again.

  18. Hi um i am a big fan and have read your books like 4 times and I have looked but I could not find if you had a set like all 5 books in 1 set because I really want the series but I don’t want to pay for the books indivudaly is there a set?

    1. You can see in the lower comments this,but the answer is no,there isn’t a boxed set.

  19. Hi pepsoles! (Spelt incorrectly on purpose.) Marek wanted me to come on and say that he and I probably will not be on the discussion page at all during the summer. Mostly in part of not going on electronics as much, and our mom makes us spend time outside. In the heat. In our pool. FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER. LOL! But still, you might not see the two of us commenting for weeks and weeks and weeks. Sorry for the hyperbole there. Thanks!

    2. OK sounds like you really enjoy that :)
      Sorry I’ve been inactive for a while, I’ve been taking care of a wedding for my sister and remodeling a bunch. I should be on more often now but still pretty infrequently if that makes sense

  20. The answers to Attendant Atticus’s question, which made me want to die.
    BIG SPOILERS (idk, maybe, you’d have to guess the spell’s effect I guess, so it’s up to you)

    First, we have all Standard and Elemental spells, as well as Necromantic and Healing. Then we have all OTB and Extension spells, as well as spells that I am unsure of as Standard/Elemental or OTB. Finally, we have Simuls.

    ALL DONE WITH MINIMAL CHECKS OF BOOKS AND SPELLS PAGE!

    Feel free to add any that I missed or ask questions, I’d appreciate any and all comments.

    P.S. Why did I do this? I just spent two or three HOURS raking my brain for spells before skimming the books! Kill me.

      1. Yeah same. But it was mostly memory (there was a chunk of spells all grouped together that we never see spare once at the Battle of Hangman’s Rock)

      1. Thanks! Took too much time, and I’m sure I still missed something.

        I would duel you, but Attendant and I are dueling right now and you and I just dueled, so I thought I’d wait a bit and give some other people a chance to duel. Maybe later though!

    3. Ok there is one spell I think and Jengo knows it augum once casted it it was a fourth degree healing spell,though I forget the name of it,also great job!

      1. You’re right, 4th degree healing. It’s Emphatic Transmission. Thanks for pointing that out.

    4. 2 more spells you need to add
      1.There is one it is in the later tAL books as the trio are going to oculus castle mrs stone has to cast a spell to stop them from moving and such something like stasis along with spher3 of protection.
      2.Mrs.Stones spell otb name is unknown it collapses buildings she used it in mount barrow along with her fight against occulus.

      1. I mentioned the first spell, it’s Loterain’s Limbo. I didn’t include Mrs. Stone’s collapse spell because it was unnamed.

  21. (Spoilers) Possible book idea for the future: Because Leera cant have kids, Augum and Leera could adopt a child, and the book could be about the struggles of the child trying to live up to everyone’s expectations that come with being their child.

    1. That is a really cool idea! Marek told me about Leera not having kids. DARN YOU MAREK I’M ONLY ON BOOK DEUX! (2)

      1. Ooh Latin.
        Anyways, yes, adoption could very much so be what Mr. Bronny goes with. However, the now-open Library of Ley holds ancient secrets, and, for a healer Leyan, those could mean a cure for Leera.

      2. I would love to see more stories about the trio and thought this might be a good setting to show more insight into each of their personalities, namely, what kind of parent they would each be.

      3. Bridget: Fun, as long as they do well at school/the Academy.
        Leera: Fun, fun, and fun.
        Augum: Fun, but a bit controling (only a wee bit) as Leera wouldn’t.

      4. Devon you forgot Ollie,but he’d be fun to like Leera,though I would think if there kids did something bad Ollie and Leera would sorta be the good cop and augum and bridge be the bad cops though augum could very much be a good cop as well.

  22. Here’s an open ended question,if anyone gets them all good job

    List every spell in the two series of the Arinthian line and Fury of a Rising Dragon,mind this does include otb and extensions.

    Another fun question
    Who’s bumble But?

  23. I got a cool idea weekly questions

    I’ll do one How many people have been disowned in the series
    Bonus if yo list everyone

    Extra bonus if you list who has been instead of disowned who has been formally accepted into a family.

    Will post answers once people attempt/answer the questions

    1. Augum, Lord Sparkstone, and Bowlander have all been disowned. As for accepted, Bridget and Leera have been “accepted” into the Arinthian lineage, Bridget as a SIster-in-War, Leera by marriage (well, soon)

    3. Devon you almost got it Katrina was accepted into the southgaurds and Eric was disowned and augum was borderline disowned by mrs.stone dew to the song of the wastes in book two of tAL

    2. Nice,also if people want to make those sorta things,the website that fan used was hero forge.

  27. Fun fact of the day, Augum has worked for everything he has achieved, which makes his life very unique and likable. usually in books like this, the main character has some sort of gifted advantage, or a concept of “the chosen one”. While the Arinthian Line books and FoaRD series do have a small amount of this, I believe it is a healthy ratio that drags the readers in and makes them appreciate Augum and relate to him a little more.

    1. Well spotted, Nathan! It’s something I love infusing into my main characters: a hard work ethic. Now just wait until you read Anna’s story…

      1. Cant wait!! I’m in pre ap english courses right now cause I’m not old enough for the ap courses but that’s where I learned to spot stuff like that :) really hyped for mrs. Stones book btw

  29. ANNOUNCEMENT! I have finally decided to read the books. I am about fifty pages away from finishing Arcane. It is REALLY good so far.

      2. Y’all are shaming Brandon too much. Yeah, he WAS bad, but he had a redemption arc and now is good again!

  30. You guys can also do guilds/clubs/clans/houses (your choice as to what word works best for Sithesia), with your own crests and mottos to rival the Arinthians and the Von Edgeworths and the Malevants, etc. And if any one of you can draw/photoshop, I can upload on your behalf (doesn’t have to be professional by any means). For crests, you can give me your rough idea and I can design a crest for your guild/club/clan/house (see bottom of Lore page for an example of the trio’s crest that I photoshopped, but again, I’m an author not an artist) ;)

    Crests always come with a motto too, and usually represent visually its values, one of its main trade goods/ cash crop for its castle, or other things of import to the entity.

      1. All three of you tell me when you are finished and post the name, motto, and crest. I will have to decide whose I am going to join 🤗

  32. So Mr. Bronny has left it to us to discuss and develop a solution for a better dueling area on some sort of website such as discord (If your not familiar you should try it out, it’s quite handy)

    I would suggest something such as discord because of it’s ability for seperation (for clarification I mean that we would be able to seperate the duels so it’s not as confusing). We would need to create a server than share the link/server with Mr. Bronny. The problem here is that a server takes a sizeable amount of effort to run/moderate so I think we should decide who would be the most able to moderate it (of course we can assign multiple people this job) and who would be on it the most. Discord is a great place where we can assign roles such as attendant that would play a part in running and maintaining the server. Of course, this all has to be approved by Mr. Bronny so just be aware of that. But lets start off with a simple question. Who here has used discord and if so how much do you know about creating/running a server?

    1. The nice part about duels here though is that we can all view them and study them. I think it’s just fine like it is.

      1. I agree that it’s good to be able to watch and study the duels, but we would be able to still do that in discord while having it more organized actually allowing for better study. And of course I wouldn’t be surprised if some duel did inevitably occur on this website, I am rooting for a discord server because of the myriad benefits. but I do see where you are coming from.

  33. Choose a pet Sabby the Ohmish Husky or Sir Pawsalot the cat

    Another question are you team Bridget or team Leera

    Team chaska or team Cry Slimwealth

    This is for good fun Now this last one is probably going to be leaning towards one side
    Team Brandon or Team olaf

    1. Definitely Sabby cause I love dogs and huskys even more

      Probably Leera cause she’s hilarious

      Cry Slimwealth cause he’s grown so much

      Olaf cause I don’t like Brandon in general, let alone he betrayed the trio

      What about you Attendant?

      1. About the same but I’m team Bridget and Leera,I want a redemption arc for Brandon but still Olaf the other questions the Same.

      2. Yeah, I definitely think Brandon could come back and be a better individual in general, but I’ll always support Olaf over Brandon.

  34. Her’s a couple of disscusion topics

    If the leyans were to build another scion who would get it and what element would it be?

    What other challenges do you think the trio has ahead of them, or what will happen after the Anna book’s

    Do you think in the next five years in the trios time will Anna be done with a portal for to and from ley?

    Who is the strongest warlock alive right now in the trios books that is not in ley?

    In the future books do you think sparrows perch will be a working town???

    What element do you think leland will get?

    Who would win in a 1v1 Augum vs Leera no dragon form??

    In due course will people with necromancy be shunned even if they are good people?

    THese are some discussion topics/questions I just got.

    1. I’m answering all of them.

      The scion: Probably Augum with a lightning scion, because Mr. Bronny does as he does. Augum would probably also link it to the castle again.

      Future trio challenges: There could be a fight from the other kingdoms (maybe the trio defends Canterra, or the other kingdoms attack Solia to kill the Dragons). It could be extraplanar, so from Ley or Endraga Ra, and if it’s that it could have to do with the Rivican ruins (maybe someone started the forges and machine shops back up). Or Mr. Bronny might go with something we can’t guess at all, like a different plane.

      The strongest warlock: This is hard to choose. But in combat, it would probably be Jez in my opinion.

      Sparrow’s Perch: It’ll probably be resettled, as Castle Arinthian is right next to it and Augum did ask Leera if that was alright.

      Leland: He’s an illusionist, so his element is illusion. Though it would be nice if he dabbled in healing.

      Augum VS Leera: Augum would probably let Leera win ’cause he’s a nice guy, but if he didn’t he’d probably win (they’ve practice dueled together before).

      Necromancy: It’s already illegal, but Augum would probably befriend a good one to show how Arcaners aren’t self-rightous and that there’s good in everyone.

      Oof, that was a lot.

      1. I agree on most parts with you, however, I would think that Augum would be the most powerful. In a 1v1 duel he could just summon his dragon form and wipe the floor with his opponent. He would also beat Bridget and Leera (probably) due to his advanced telekinesis.

    2. But Nathan remember she has a not so secre5 secret weapon spectral teleport

      1. This is true, but with it not being such a secret secret weapon Augum would be ready for it not to mention his reflexes are phenomenal.

    3. True also augum would never give Leera the win Leera would be so annoyed like as mad as Bridget was when she found out the southwards were offering a. marriage proposal times two.

      2. It did happen before, but her anger was mostly mock anger. I believe it was in FoaRD, when they were on their way to Olaf’s house and got attacked by 12 assassins. Just before that.

  35. Suggestion Mr.Bronny. Though it is Arena related i deemed i should put it here. I think that it would be cool for you to make a art for the arena. I have some sugestions. Though i guess this is just a idea.

    2. I think he means a team that gives suggestions like the advanced reader team though I may have misinterpreted it

    3. yeah devon is right. But like how he made anna’s picture. If that was drawing they are amazing!:)

      1. I’m pretty sure those were photoshopp he did,but I agree having a drawing or photo of the arena could help.

    4. Anyone is welcome to submit art for the website directly to me via my email (see the contact page) and I will publish it where appropriate. Certainly doesn’t have to be “pro” art either!

  36. Happy beladed birthday Bridge!
    P.S. Does anyone wanna be me and Devon’s Mr.G?

  37. So hi everybody!! I know I haven’t been very active, and my apologies for that, I just have been content with sitting back and watching. However, I’m excited to get back into the thick of it and explore the depths of Sithesia with you guys. I probably won’t duel much as I am very incosistent getting on, but I do love watching you guys and your clever maneuvers. So, on a different note and hopefully a discussion facilitating notion, I would just like to bring up the fact that Occulus was most likely a telepath, considering that the agonex wouldn’t work for anyone except Leland who is a telepath. Which explains how he was able to defeat six scion bearers. I would also like to ask what you guys think the secrets of the elements that the leyans installed in the scions were.

    1. 3 things
      1 happy Memorial Day

      2 the info on the scions is in a secret leyan vault Mar.Broony said

      3 I might be the only one but I really feel disappointed that I forgot her bday but better late then never have belated bday Bridget!

      1. I too am disappointed and wish Bridget a belated happy birthday.

        I’m not sure if that is how the Agonex worked though, Nathan. Mrs. Stone could’ve wielded it, and she wasn’t a telepath. All that was required was the warlock had to best the Captain in a mind-battle, so even the trio could’ve used it.

      2. That’s the thing though, Mrs. Stone wasn’t able to figure out how to use it and she was a master warlock and one of the most skilled lightning warlocks to walk sithesia. The fact that she couldn’t and Leland, a young boy with no arcane experience but is a telepath, demonstrates that Occulus most likely was a telepath. I could be completely wrong, however it does seem that he was.

      4. That’s because Mrs. Stone didn’t mess with the Agonex, choosing to research instead. While she was struggling with books, Leland was fiddling with it until he understood it.

    2. Also remember she was practicing cron and really struggling with health and age,so id bet she would loose the mental battle and most likely her head would explode,while leland was in the spring time of youth and was a telepath like occulus which probaly allowed him to know what the commanders moves would be which furthermore allowed him to win the battle.

    3. I think you’re correct because Leland had no formal training in arcanery at the time, and he was able to tune to ancient artifact and specifically beat the commander in a “battle of the mind”

  38. No one talks here anymore! This is the disscusion! Not the lame discusion for stuff that we just wanna put in here so it doesnt get buried with the duels. Well you could do that but DISSCUS STUFF TOO! It is called discussion for a reason. I rest my case.

    1. Happy Memorial Day everyone!! I’ll take a moment of silence right now for all of those fallen American soldiers, pilots, etc. MOMENT OF SILENCE——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————Okay.

    2. Happy Memorial day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)
      P.S. It is my favorite holiday up there with Christmas, The Fourth of JUly, and my birthday!:)

      1. So cool! Happy memorial day y’all! I’m going to ask a question, but you don’t have to answer it. Do you know any veterans who have served in the army? I know it might be an emotional subject, but it’s kind of cool to know a veteran, isn’t it? I’m going to start, My pop, (Grandfather) served in the Vietnam war. and is still alive. He is very funny, and tells us all kinds of jokes. He is the best.

      2. My great grandpa was in World War Two (passed two years ago though) and I have an uncle who actually just got released from service in Iran (or it’s Iraq, whichever one we’re fighting).

  39. Sever Bronny,
    The new arena is awesome, and I can’t wait to see how it grows and all the cool arcane battles to come!

    But I had a suggestion to improve the dueling. One problem with the duels is that this page is open to everyone, so it can be confusing if multiple people are trying to duel, or someone confuses who their opponent is, or a third party is trying to comment in the middle of a duel.

    To solve this problem, would it be possible to create individual chat rooms that only approved people could comment in, but were public to view? This way, no one accidentally interrupts a duel, but people can still witness the incredible arcane feats.

    This also might allow for certain “guilds”, dueling groups, and school teams to form. For example, if your character was Solian, they could be a part of the Academy of the Arcane Arts’ dueling team, and compete against other schools in tournaments. The rooms could be tied to someone’s email, and they would be able to approve applications for their certain team or group.

    I don’t know how hard that would be to do with this website software, but I think it would be a great feature if possible.

    Thanks for your consideration,
    Ben (Benjamin “Stonewall” Davidson)

    NOTE: I posted this in the Arena page, but it was quickly buried under duels and other comments. It was my fault, I should have seen it coming, so I decided to post it here instead.

  40. You have 6 hours of training you can do any training method your in the library of Antioc, you have 15 silver and a full circle takes 2 hours* you can do anything as long as it’s improving your arcane arts what do you do?

    1. I meant a full cycle also it includes extensions.*two hour varying on degree.the fifteen silver is if want to enter a training area buy food or something like that.A full cycle requires afterward a 45 minute break but buying food or meditate it refreshes you as well.

  41. Hey, so what do y’all think the implications of the Rivican ruins in Endraga Ra could mean in the next trio-centered book. Like, it obviously meant that the Rivicans were there and studied dragons (probably how they created Orion) but… I don’t know, it was really cool but I don’t think Mr. Bronny put it in just to put it in. He’s a master (pun intended) at writing and surely did a bit of foreshadowing. But what do y’all think it is?

    1. i Agree but it probaly means they will Do Rivicain stuff next series(trio series). Because that is the best i could come up with.

      1. I think in the next trio series they will probably go to ley or occuluses castle because that’s where rivican stuff is and find a cool spell or even some people that are rivicans in hiding.

      2. Yeah, and there’s also Rivican ruins under the Black Castle and I think the Black Arena (not sure on that one). The Rivican people crossed my mind too, but the spell would be super cool.

        Ooh! Afterthought. Maybe the RIVICANS found out how to tame the Predator, maybe it had something to do with Orion’s creation, like taming the Predator to wield it.

  42. Canon but also an idea that would be really cool:
    For Haylee’s birthday (or whatever reason) the Arcaners and friends all enchant her cane like Careena

      2. Oh well the enchanted cane has two purposes,1 dueling 2 She won’t ever throw away her cane again.

  43. Hi everybody! Marek told me I should try to duel somebody. So, here is my dueling “profile”.
    Name: Charlotte Emerald Dreads (Her friends call her Charlie. A very unfortunate last name, mostly due to the fact that she actually really loves her life. Well, when her family was in it she loved it.)
    Element: Fire
    Degree: 11th
    Age: Seventeen
    Looks: Blonde hair, Blue eyes, Tall, wears black a lot.
    Backstory: (get ready this is gonna be looooooong.)
    Charlotte Dread came from a very long line of Warlocks. Her family was very, very, wealthy, so she got into the academy easily. She loved to show off her skills in her hometown of Blackhaven. Charlie easily got into the academy at age twelve, due to her skills and her family’s money. And quickly became a star pupil. She met many powerful students, and quickly became popular among them all. At her sixth year, the war started. Blackhaven was destroyed. Along with her family. She spent many days searching for their body’s. She never found them. She heard of the trio, who had tried to save Blackhaven. She heard of the fight against Orion, in Blackhaven, and later, the Tallows. She believed in their cause. Today, she is a even more powerful, 11th degree. Age seventeen.

    3. The crowd jumps to their feet upon Charlotte’s entrance into the arena. The heralds have scribbled their high hopes for her, considering she comes from a distinguished line of duelers …

      1. She can’t be a master, as Mrs. Stone was the only living master. I agree though, she’s probably 20th.

      2. THey said mrs.Stone was the only known living master kraktos is probably a master.Also this is one very very very important question,to mr.Bronny you have talked about stams which is what you use to cast spells could you give us more info about that,because we only know that augum in the first book in FoaRD had around 100 stams a and the summon minor wall took 25 stams.So coul$ you put in the spells how many stams is everything.

  48. I have a question that has never been asked before!:) What…is…your…….. CAT’S NAME?!?!Literally the first time asked.:):):):):):):):):):):):):)::):):):):):):)
    P.S. This is for sever,though i guess you can answer too:)

    2. My cats name is Tobi Wan Kenobi. He is a dog though. He acts like a cat. He bites his nails and has a back hunch. he also sits by the window on our couch.

      1. what about skibbles leera’s kitten that was killed when Sparrow’s perch was well. you know what happend.

      2. TRue also fun fact Augum does not have a grandma in ley because she technically disowned him in the start of the second book,then she said I take it back but she didn’t do the ritual so that’s why augum does not have a stone grandma or great grandma

  49. Wait can I invite you don’t you have parental settings so I can’t friend you or something

      1. Here’s a random quote I just like by Albert Einstein: “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”

        – Albert Einstein

    3. If anyone wants to play Minecraft tonight please tell me because I’m going to be playing tonight

  51. or i would have “convey degree” the spell of legend that i definitly didnt read the first 72 pages of arcane to find its actual name then be correct on thinking that it was convey degree.that didnt happen.

  52. Or the spell that creates spells or the one that allows you to create ………. SCIONS!

  53. If you could do any spell in real life ot master degree,what would it be? Also i will just join when you play minecraft.

    2. Spirit of the dragon
      Sorry I couldn’t play,if your able to I usually play from 12-1 pdt and sometimes at 7-10ish pdt.

    2. I don’t,also this isn’t a chat board is for discussing things about the Arinthian line and FoaRD
      Who wants to duel in the arena?

    3. ok just for marek i am HandsomePants65.Also is the knowledge to build a cloud chamber in Solia Ley, or ENDRAGA RA?

      1. The knowledge is in the library in key as well as other spells,also Devon for duels or Minecraft?

      3. Though as they referenced in the books there was a Rivican like structure so that could have more powerful spells like spirit of the dragon.

  55. I started the building in my minecraft world,right now I’m working on their barn.

    2. Yes it’ll be on a realm and I’ll friend you just tell me your friend code I’m able to play most days,also I’m you the maps in the books to design the map.

    3. Yes i am but I’m using the maps so I’ll first use the 1st map then start to expand I’m also doing it in a realm so you could play when I’m not and so forth,I’m going to use a medical texture pack too.

    1. Just saying in the spells in awe of the dragon and breath of the dragon have typos

      1. its not cause if it was it would be The STRONGEST SPELLS IN EXISNTINCE. Cause leyans spells are rated lowere than what solians would rate them. Centarro would be 8th-11th.

    4. Did anyone besides me notice that Mrs. Stone is going to be trained by Senior Arcaneologist Ning? The really special part of it, though, is that it’ll be in dual elements! We know that Ning knows some healing, and Mrs. Stone healed Augum once. . . (BTW this is on her schedule)

      1. Remeber in that scene Mrs.stone talked about dual elements,mrs.stone has healing,fire,lightning and I think that’s all.

      2. Also Ning only knows illusion and healing,Mr.Bronny said that when I asked.

    2. Can in Cron can you cast spells or during spells can you cast spells

      1. chron casting should work in cron. in a spell book in the antoic library (spells tab) it says chron casting is when you do one spell after the other but i’ll take the word of Mrs.Stone over some spell book.she said that chron casting is when you have one spell up and cast another spell without dissipating the first one.an example of this is casting shine then casting reveal and keeping shine up.the book’s part about simulcasting corroborated with the words of Mrs.Stone

  61. But atticus i dont think you can teleport to the healing fountain in antioc

    1. Oh I can remember I’m an Attendant and Herzog once gave me cloaked privileges too

  62. Hey, sorry combatant Kaden, it turns out I am very busy tomorrow.

    I am free to duel someone later, probably in the weekdays.

    1. Thanks about Minecraft I might be able to play tonight but it depends on how late I’m able to stay up and how long you can stay up I might be able to play after Nine ish my time 12 ish your time

      Who shall fight the The Raiser next he has a track of either 3-0 or 4-0

  64. i bend the knee cause i am gonna loose either way. I emmiediatly stop decaying, it was the play dead spell.That could of went better.
    P.S. Good job.

  65. i am hawaii standard time zone. I do know the third offensive though.

    1. Ok. What time works? I’m in Eastern, and noon to 3 works bestest (7-10 for you)

  66. Hey who wants to duel me? I am free a lot tomorrow, but I’m in Eastern time.

    Dragoon Devon “Wild Storm” Lucheinus, a fierce 19th degree lightning warlock form Nodia with a summoned flail.

      2. Great. What time, and what’s your time zone?
        As an honorable Dragoon, I’ll fight with an 11th degree spell maximum.

  69. and i just ducked under all beams exept one wich demolished my helment.

    1. i just checked here and relaized that you went already.guess i wasnet neaded.

  70. Thre third offensive was a fake and one beam knocked my helm off. i parry the staff but take the whip i yell baka and disalo aiming at you whip. Your fear spell nearly penetrates.

    1. I just ignore your spells and then run behind you and slash you with my staff and whip and then cast three anhilio meurto aiming them so it’s impossible to dodge them at all or so you don’t have time to teleport away.and remember that I have my elemental armor,strengthen,centrro and frenzy on

      1. oh. I raise my shield and fligh backwards after you demolishing my armor, then i turn gray and start decaying.

      3. Ok I’ll give you the choice to bend the knee now or do you want to keep fighting and have a chance to gain a multitude of injuries or even die

      4. This is the move I’ll do if you decide to keep fighting I do the spirit of the dragon spell then cast spectral teleport and hit you with all my strength with my summoned weapons which would kill you but after I do that I do group teleport with you to the healing pool in Antioch and heal you with healing spells I win then.

  72. Wow you have good reflexes dodgeing 12 beams then I dodge the 3rd offensive and summon a shield barely in time to shield my self then I cast Summano arma flustrato and Summano arma crux dreadus terrablus and .run towards you and try to hit you with the staff and the whip

  73. First where did you disenchant it at,then I dodge it as I have previuosly cast reveal but one hits me but it starts to heal with necromancy and healing ,then I do three succsesive casting of anhilio muerto!

    1. i quickly duck and yell Anhilo Ito! Then i sprint at you and swing my confusion ax at you.

  74. No you cant teleport out of it so the only spell that works is infirmi which I use baka and then dodge the fear casting and then cast virtus vis viray and then cast anhilio muerto

    1. I summon my sheild and say mimicus and say Exotus mia enchantus duo dai ideum exat and disenchant it.(i reflected anihilo muerto

  75. Impetus perango spectra xae i teleport of of imprison then hit you with my confusion ax. Infermi! Dreadus terriblus!

  77. Also could we hurry I can only do this for 15 more min

  78. I use a healing spell to heal myself,then I cast Un vun asperio aurum enchantus and then cast Imprison

  80. Armari elementus totalus,Enta frenza harka natar,Centeratoraye xao xen

  83. “Un vun asperio aurum enchantus” “Virtus vis viray” “Summano arma flustrato”

    1. wait can i use every spell because ur only 11th degree

      1. me. yester day was not for duel club(me and alexander fought). what are rules?

      4. Also for A reminder this is my info

        Necromancy 20th,Healing 13th

  86. Hey whoooops sorry that repeated THREE TIMES. Kept not going through, and… now it went through

    1. Mr.Bronny I was wondering if there was a flag of solia or of sithesia if so could you give us a desription?

      1. Attendant, might I suggest emailing that to Sever Bronny instead? The comments are going to get buried in duels.

      3. Thank you I’ve been researching medivial building and the maps in the books because in Minecraft I want to build the entire world

  87. What are everyone’s time zones? I’m Eastern American, so it’s 12:30 for me right now.

    2. Also, what are the time zones for everyone? I’m Eastern American, so it’s 12:30 right now for me

    3. Also, what are everyone’s time zones? I’m Eastern American, so it’s 12:30 right now for me.

  92. Oh misspell, meh. I am gonna cast “anihilo bato!” i duck and say “arcan roso”
    P.S. Arcane Drain steals arcane stamina.

    2. before you steal to much stamina i cast impetus peragro” then cast “voidus lingua”

      1. i dropoed and rolled foward so u miss. I get up see you and said, “voidus aurus, Effectus xadius”

      2. i roll away and summon my shield because your centarro should run out soon.

    1. i cast telekenisis on your fireball and hit your elementus with it.”voidus lingua”

      1. it was a fake first offensive. plus i dont have a elementus,yet. “Summano elementus minimus draco Voidus aurus”

      2. you have an elementus from when you cast chameleon.while your castingi “voidus lingua”and use telekenisis with my disenchant to move it twords you if you dodge.you hit me with the deafness.

  97. “Summano elementus minimus” ” armari obscrua chameleano traversa” And i hide.

    1. i cast “un vun asperio aurum enchantus” and see you.i set my elementus on yours and cast “voidus lingua” at you.

      1. i hurl the elemantal at the wall destroying it.And then i say”Enta frenza harka natar”.

      3. i put this already but dont know if it worked.”voidus lingua” “Exotus mia enchantus duo dai ideum exat”i typed that twice now.

  101. wait i summon my ax again and spextral port into the mute spell and slpped you in the face with my ax

    2. i use telekenisis on my elementus and fling it at you then while your stund i cast “voidus luingua”

    3. Uh guys it took 1-2 years to get 1000 and in a week we almost got 400!

    1. is this in response to the slow and mute or did you just put this in agian.
