With the Dragon Prince season 4, we only got one episode with new lore about the Fallen Star, Aaravos. However, there is so much more we have learned about this mysterious Startouch Elf prior to this. So much that I had to make a two-part video about it! In this first part, I discuss the various tomes that needed to be translated. Perhaps you remember the one we saw in Season 2 that was in Arabic. Turns out we got a few more, all of which have valuable information about Aaravos's past. How did he help humans when they needed it most? Was he responsible for the extinction of the unicorns? There is so much to talk about and this is far from the end- in part 2 look forward to more discussion about Season 4 and what we learned about him from outside media! Make sure to subscribe to get notified of when the next part arrives!

Hi
Since Aaravos is the one narrating the first novel’s prologue, it’s obvious that he’s telling the Xadian side of the unicorn story and there’s a human side of it we haven’t seen yet, but could be coming soon. I also know said human side of the story is going to be very different because of the tome page about Aaravos, the startouch elves and the unicorns from The Art of The Dragon Prince describing unicorns as being almost impossible to hunt thanks to their stellar magic and devious cunning.
But its said that the first dark mages hunted them to extinction and don't forget claudia managed to get one for viren in s3
I’m sorry, it’s just isn’t true. And yes, Claudia managed to capture one in S3. Also, season 3 came out first before the first novel.
"The last Startouch elves and unicorns were seen over a century ago."
-Tales of Xadia
The video creator missed this bit.
Aaravos is seemingly on his own side though. It's hard to even call him a Xadian since he comes from the heavens and is no true friend of Xadia. Unbiased sources also state that humans hunted dark mages until their eventual disappearance. Just because they were hard to hunt doesn't mean all attempts failed. Maybe they didn't go extinct, but they're not commonly found anymore and that's definitely because dark mages hunted them. I don't think Ziard would have really denied it.
@@leonandia6201 Is dark magic connected to the earlier pre-differentiated magic?
I think Aarvoss does actually want humanity to thrive. It’s just he wants them to, while being there king.
I think Aarvoss saw the potential opportunity of humanity. He saw a race that was smart, organized, there are plenty of them and they were weak.
He created dark magic to even the scales, give the weak beings, power, embolden them to conquest. Now he has an army to help conquer Xadia.
And when it’s all said and done, the weak human now rule the world and have Aarvoss to thank and worship.
I’m not so sure that Aaravos’ will is so basic (take over world). Based on what creators said, you are half right, he wants to be revered or even worshipped. But he also helped humans out of genuine kindness.
I think that Startouch Elves are ancestors of other Elven races, which are half-breeds of Startouch Elves and humans. If you look closely at picture 2:13, the Elves standing beside Aaravos look more human than he himself does. They look literally like different human races. I think Aaravos could had a human woman, but something happened and she died , the dragons could be involved. .
If a startouched elf is this dangerous
Imagine what an Void Arch Dragon could do
They could literally end the world
Not sure the damage would be too different. Elves are not so far below dragons in terms of power, at least not overall. Basing this on fact that dragons “would not risk Aditi’s wrath” and that sunfire elves have spells to prevent void dragons from eating sun.
Actually I don't see how powerful a void arch dragon could be like c'mon star power
i felt things when i saw Viren holding the Beings hand. WHY IS IT SO DANG CUTE.
IDK about you guys
But personally, I wanna see Aaravos back in the real world
I guess it reminds some ancient beliefs, but the powers of primal sources have more logical explanations. The "sun" have relation with radiation, thermal energy, power from the heat. The "stars" have relation with black holes, space/time, things that are mysterious and unknown even to us.
@Bla Bla LMAO 💀 fr
Dragon Prince Theories
1. Aaravos' Guide looks like Gollum (Picture Riddles?).
2. We know the Tidebound Elves are involved in Aaravos' prison.
3. Clue to Prison Theory
- Sky Archdragon: The Mirror = The Prison's appearance
- Earth Archdragon: The Map = The Location of the Prison
- Ocean Archdragon: The Blueprint = Entrance and features of the prison
4. There are no Star Archdragons but only Void Dragons and Star Devouring Dragons.
5. The Key of Aaravos reminds me of the One Ring (Callum couldn't drop it in the lava).
6. Viren became unconscious like Callum when he reused Dark Magic. He might go through the same mind journey Callum went through and find his primal source (Likely Star Magic?). The end credits images of Episode 9 showed Viren in his Dark Magic form, becoming exhausted, and collapsing like Callum did when he first used Dark Magic.
7. What broke me is how Soren never told Claudia that Callum can do Primal Magic and how she never showed any reaction or thought that Callum can do magic.
Book 5: Ocean Theories
1. The Tidebound Elves are well known for their powerful magic.
2. The Tidebound Elves are needed to help free Rayla's Parents and Runaan.
3. The Blueprint of Aaravos' prison is guarded by the Ocean Archdragon.
4. With the blueprint, Claudia's group will free Aaravos in Book 6: Star.
5. Team Zym will meet descendants of the Tidebound Elves who crafted the prison.
6. Rayla hates water so she will be scared underwater at Tidebound Archipelago.
7. Rayla's reunion and future relationship with her parents is similar to the relationship between Nya and her parents in Ninjago Season 14 Seabound. An overcaring mother who wants to spend more time with her daughter with a supporting father.
8. Rayla and her parents' reunion example: th-cam.com/video/HkQxvAi4lak/w-d-xo.html
9. It will be cool if Lissa (Viren's Wife) becomes the new leader of Del Bar (Funny moments with Soren and sad moments with Claudia).
Aaravos Theory
I think Aaravos sacrificed his position to genuinely help humans because of how he pities their poor state. He really though dark magic was the only solution for humanity to thrive as humans connecting to a primal source is rare and almost impossible. I hope he gives a speech similar to Luthen Rael's speech of sacrifice in Andor: th-cam.com/video/ux9qBIbpVDw/w-d-xo.html
Character Similarities to other Stories
1. Aaravos reminds me of Sauron (Annatar) and Darth Sidious.
2. Viren is like Count Dooku and Saruman combined.
3. Claudia reminds me of Morgan Le Fay
4. Callum reminds me of Anakin Skywalker, Merlin, and Frodo.
5. Ezran reminds me of Bran Stark, Aragorn, and King Arthur.
6. Rex Igneous reminds me of Smaug and Nelfarion (Deathwing).
7. The Startouch Elves remind of the Maiar (Lower Ainur).
Dragon Prince Location Similarities to other Stories
1. Umber Tor reminds me of Erebor.
2. Tidebound Archipelago will probably look like Atlantis
My favorite moment was Rex Igneous
What I love about Rex Igneous is that he had enough of everyone's BS (Dragons and Elves). He hated his former friend Avizandum because of his bloodthirsty and god-loving nature over humans. Rex opposed Avizandum's beliefs and he himself does not disdain humans despite his isolation for hundreds of years. His isolation and the way Rayla stabbed his hand to wake him up made him angry but seeing Zubeia, an old friend of his who just lost her husband, softened Rex to end his rampage. I also like the reason he respects humans because he was a friend of one (Orphan Queen -> Harrow & Ezran's ancestor). I think one of the reasons why Rex isolated himself was because he was disappointed a young, bloodthirsty Avizandum became the Dragon King and how the dragons and elves still war with humans even though some humans, including the Orphan Queen, saved Xadia from Aaravos and his pawns. Rex is similar to Count Dooku in his reaction to the corruption of the Jedi and Republic. But unlike Dooku, Rex is not a tyrant nor a dictator and instead isolated himself to ignore Xadia's BS.
Also, the way the Dragons keep Elvish armor and weapons make totally no sense. They are not the dragon aspects from World of Warcraft they are just dragons (they can't shapeshift into visage forms). However, it would make sense if you pay gold, money, and great elvish armor and weapons for things that they need from other elves. Leaders do need to pay to get food and other things that they need (even rulers need to pay money).
on 1 part I disagree i think there are arch star devourer dragons and void dragon it would just be weird if every arcanum but star (the strongest arcanum) had no arch dragons great comment btw
The back story of Aaravos was the only real highlight of the season for me. I wish the other back stories (sun elf culture, Raylas quest, Claudias trials to bring Viren back) were given as much depth as this was. 10 Episodes for 1 season, considering how long we waited between season 3/4 was disappointing, along with the dumbing down of characters (Claudia for instance) and overkill of childishness, has left me hopeful season 5 is much better, but not optimistic.
@Bla Bla 100 percent agree with you. I love the dragon prince but after such a long wait, gee it fell short. For how many plots holes and story lines they created, I cant see another 10 episodes closing any of them.
The caterpillar thing was cute when it came out of the cocoon tho lol
Your elf oc looks so cute! Thanks for making this video✊
Aaravos: the failed son whose father wishes he was never born
Soren: Yep, I see a failure everytime I look in the mirror, especially this one
Was Aaravos inspired on Prometheus or Lucifer? Why not both? 😁
I really enjoy this "mystery". But at same time I fear that the real motivation of Aaravos couldn't be so convincing. Let's wait for the next seasons and hope for the best.
I'm a writer of this video and I absolutely think he's both Prometheus and Lucifer! I think it's just a matter of which one he embodies more in certain moments or times, and the way people see him. The truth I suspect, and part of the "Mystery" is that he's internally and externally something of a mix!
This video was so informative! I love Aaravos so much so this comprehensive amount of lore was great. Big thanks to everyone involved in making it!
I love Aaravos
First off I love that you make a new oc to match the topic like for hazbin hotel/ hello a boss your an imp and for dragon prince you a startouch elf. Second you always have the BEST designs the elf is so cute. And third thank you for this Visio it’s nicely organized and helps me keep track of the show. Love your channel 😊
This is really well written! Excited for part 2! 😁
"The only known creatures connected to the stars are the mysterious Startouch Elves and the rare, fascinating unicorns.
Dark mages have tried to hunt the unicorns to better understand their power, but their stellar magic and their devious cunning make them almost impossible to hunt."
-Art Book
The art book states that dark mages did hunt unicorns but to understand their power rather than for their horns.
"The last Startouch elves and unicorns were seen over a century ago."
-Tales of Xadia
Also the unicorns were not hunted until they were disappeared. They were seen a century ago. In S3 Claudia is stated to have found one.
Hello! I'm the writer of this video. These passages don't contradict anything stated in Part One or Two of this video topic. Part Two will analyze the text from the lore compendiums, among other miscellaneous sources.
Unicorns absolutely were hunted for their horns. As taken from the Book 1 core novel, unicorn horns were the most prized possessions of dark magic. This coexists with dark mages also seeking to understand their power.
The Book 1 core novel and Tales of Xadia also cover how unicorns vanished after being hunted by dark mages. Even Viren calls their horns impossibly rare. The way Claudia captured a unicorn is a miracle in of itself, and the circumstances are still largely a mystery on how this even came to be.
Xadian lore analysis is kinda my thing too, haha.
@@leonandia6201 "Understand their power" can mean a lot of things. It can mean hunted for their horns. It can mean wanting to chat with the unicorns. At the moment, it's pretty vague and we have no clear evidence what it actually means.
Book 1 intro also states the dragon egg was destroyed but this was clearly not the case.
Tales of Xadia also states that the unicorns were around at least last century.
If Claudia did find one, then not all unicorns "disappeared". We also don't know whether she killed the unicorn, the unicorn gave her the horn, she maimed the unicorn....you get the picture.
For the unicorns, we've been given evidence that contradicts each other. It's too early to assert what actually happened to them.
Again I'm not saying that unicorns are/aren't extinct. I'm saying we have not enough evidence to come to a conclusion therefore we should not until we get more evidence.
I'm assuming we're dealing with both human and Xadian views hence the contradicting information.
@@ordinarytdpanalysis4772 Is dark magic connected to the pre-differentiated magic?
I love the dragon prince
It's kinda easy to figure out why Aarvoos was scrapped, he was potentially a great scholar that discovered many secrets, and he could've fallen in love with dark magic once the first human deviced it. I mean, you spen millenia learning all sort of spells and suddenly, the species that seems worthless comes out with a brand new magic? not only that, but one that can do about anything? He'd probably used many dark spells and eventually discovered how thrilling it is, and how much potential Human truly have. He wanted conflict because it'smeant to make human grow and evolve faster, they will bring upon a new era that will be much better than the stagnat era of elfs, or so he thinks.
i like this theory
@@j-core2895 thanks
Welcome back Hayley! You look stunning as a startouched elf.
Thanks for this super informative viedeo! I've been in the fandom since the start but I didn't know about many of the things you mentioned. Keep up the good work!
PS: Love your startouch elf design
Star magic seems to contain anything “ethereal,” meaning powers that deal with “higher” and “otherworldly” forces, along with the physical concepts of outer space. Storage pocket dimensions, creation and divination, and I’m willing to bet soul magic is in there as well, at least the higher versions of it. This goes with the theory of Dark magic beings a derivative of soul magic. The reason I say this is because of the medium. Dark magic users use their “willpower” or soul as a tool to manipulate and command magic. The soul is powerful and flexible to change at times. That would explain how variable dark magic is. The issues are this though: All that energy going through the body is likely damaging the soul and flesh, causing it to degrade and rot. The soul is stretched too much and frequently to use this magic excessively. Next, this magic in essence is opening the soul to outside power to command, which runs the risk of infection and outside influence like possession. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a sort of “shadow” to Star magic that is unknown, and dark magic utilizes it. I can’t wait to see seasons 6 and 7, and any information on the secrets of star magic and dark magic. There is so much to learn!😎👍🏻
hoping later we see the rest of the ‘Great Ones’
i dont get it the writers intention with aaravos was him been like Prometheus giving magic to humans and been punished for it did they change their minds?
Aaravos was also supposed to have traits like Prometheus and Lucifer, this hasn't been changed by the writers.
@@leonandia6201 cant imagine more opposite personalities lucifer didnt care about the suffering of anyone, prometheus did. this wont be good for this character and it shows in this season, they turned him from mysterious to making fun of the "good guys" villain either show signs that he was framed or show that he is complete evil i mean what is the point of him doing any of this things if it was for fun then dont say he has prometheus story line and say its a complete lucifer type
The point though is that Aaravos is complicated. He was always said to be Lucifer and Prometheus at the same time, they never said he was one first and then another later. The fact that they're opposites means that Aaravos isn't so black and white. Not fully good, not fully evil. Later seasons will explore this.
I personally think Aaravos grew more cruel after being imprisoned. Its arguably a fate worse than death to be locked in a prison your own for all of eternity. I don't buy that he was manipulating conflict just for lolls, I think the dragons back then were way more anti humans/afraid of humans becoming too powerful. Regem was clearly looking down on humans. Arguably Aaravos aided humans to stand up to them. But he might've become more sadistic in his prison.
My main question is: shouldnt sun and star be the same power source?
The magic of the primal sources is manifested by what role they serve in nature and the wider world. The reason why Sun magic is different from Star magic is because the Sun provides light and heat to the continent of Xadia, so that's how the magic manifests. Star magic draws upon space and time because the stars are place far off within the grand, infinite cosmos. That's why they're different primal sources. I hope this helps!
One Name is Sauron. That is who Aarvos is based on. Before, he was the dark lord of Mordor. He tricked the other races into accepting his 'gifted' rings of power to govern their land. The question we need to be answered is his motive and endgame?
Wow... this was really informative video...
Would him being a narrator in the show count as fourth wall breaking also the cuddle monkey reminds me of niffler from fantastic beasts
Aaravos prison location....poor rayla
I think Rayla would rather face Sol Regem again than have to deal with Domina Profundis (archdragon of the Ocean), haha.
Please do more Dragon prince content
I personally find season 4 a bit overhated. Yes, they could’ve done more(the whole season felt short), but I enjoyed it quite well.
Wasn't Leola retconned to be or became a Startouch Elf because @ 9:22 that's Leola not child Aaravos.
Will the livestream be available to watch later for those of us who can't make it?
Yes it will!
Im a half elf 👀 star touched and Moon shadow 👀
Will Erik Todd Dellums be one of those VAs???
Sadly it doesn't sound like it! Perhaps one day though?
I think the map that aaravos is opening in season 4 is the map that is the key to his prison. (Spoiler alert for season 4) If you guys saw the scene when Claudia got the map in the arch dragons teeth I think that’s the same map
I'm so sad I missed the livestream ;.;
I like this stuff right here
Is it possible that callum distant direct descendants from aaravos via callum mother side of family ?
8:37 the bearer of gifts. Is this a reference to Annatar, lord of gifts, Saurons beneficent disguise in TLOTR?
I wrote this video, so let me tell that I thought of Annatar the entire time, haha. Aaravos is supposed to be Lucifer and Prometheus, the former of which likely influenced Sauron in some ways. There's a loose connection there!
Wait i Can read the danish tome because im from denmark
The danish tome reads about that someone discovered he’s existends and him seeing potential In humans and a better future
Its not fully corect becuase its so blured to read
❤😍
I waited so long for the apparent mystery but it was told in a few minutes. Why is the season called the mystery of aaravos when you hardly see aaravos
Love The vid
Not sure you can call an island it takes less that a week to traverse a supercontinent. More like a tiny island that makes me annoyed at how small they made it, like what in the heck. I understand that Katolis is relatively close to the border, but it should have taken weeks or months for seasons 1 and 2 to pass. Instead it’s something like a week. I blame the abysmally short 9 episode seasons.
This is a little unrelated but, I think Aaravos might be androgynous because he looks kinda feminine. Or it could just my head cannon. 💜💙✨
Aaravos uses he/him pronouns, but he's absolutely feminine and I love it! I think gender-related headcanons about him should totally be encouraged. After all, maybe he doesn't care how people refer to him!
Aarvoss is a Lucifer morningstar but in the show
Actually,the startouch elf who is in the intro scene is not aaravos but another elf entirety.The horns are the wrong colour for starters,the hair is the wrong style and aaravos's sclera are black with pink irises,this elf has white sclera with no visible pupils.
Hello! I'm the writer of this video. The Startouch elf from the prologue is absolutely Aaravos. Wonderstorm confirmed it on The Dragon Prince's official social media account. You even see Aaravos with that appearance in Season 4. The contrast and distinction is intentional to highlight before and after his fallen state.
@@leonandia6201 okay,i'll check this
Plot twist
Aaravos does have divination and this is all a long con to achieve peace between dragons elves and humans and begin integration
10:07-11:07
Not mythology when it comes to Jesus Christ-it’s all real. He’s real. Everything in the Bible is real. Including:
Knowledge of good and evil, not knowledge overall, and it’s so much deeper than that… I mean… look where we are and how things are now… who and how we are to each other… and the garden of Eden was a real place, not magical, but real… archeology as well as genetic engineering (regarding the existence of Adam and Eve) prove it… the current condition of the Garden, not sure about it now, maybe the Bible has more info on that other than an angel guarding it with a sword to prevent any one of us from entering it. The fruit containing this knowledge of good and evil wasn’t a gift either-in fact, it was not necessary when they had God in their lives already. The tree was there though, as a choice for Adam and Eve to pick God or their own discernment and their own path. Even though God loved them, and loves us all thru Jesus and the Holy Spirit, He gives us a choice and autonomy to act on it, to love Him back and to obey His commands. For Adam and Eve, that included the command to not eat the fruit. Evil didn’t exist, and they did not have to know evil. God is good and was all there was for them. But Satan in the form of a serpent came along to tempt them, questioning God’s love and authority as well as their value and identity (they are made in the image of God), tempting Eve and then Adam followed, both fell because not only did they disobey God, but they knew now the differences between good and evil-they automatically brought evil into the world as a result because that knowledge manifested spiritually and altogether. It was sin, they were no longer perfect and holy, and they were not taking accountability for such (results of sins , which they now know because of them eating the fruit, and it was only getting worse and worse-damage had been done, contradicting God-He is love and His love produces such life that sin… as horrible as it is… causes death). They were banished from paradise because sin had no place in the perfect world. Yet God had mercy on them and spared them, setting up a plan to save them through Jesus Christ, for all of us to have a relationship with God again. They were not allowed back in and neither are we to eat the fruit of life, because that would mean being in this sinful state (a curse) forever. We are imperfect-we are not inferior, but because we are imperfect, especially in personal ways with ourselves and each other, come with heavy burdens and struggles, and while it’s natural at this state, it’s rather a curse, and we cannot get rid of it other than going to Jesus for salvation, to be free of that curse and combat the enemy with God’s authority and love.
I would recommend reading the Bible to know more about that in Genesis as well as the Gospels, and to everyone here, everyone overall, Jesus loves you and made a relationship between us and God doable and possible again only through Him through his death on the cross and His resurrection three days after. He wants a relationship with you all guys!! The enemy, Satan, has nothing on you!! At all! You’re all made in the image of God, such love and value. God bless you!!! ❤❤❤
I am the latest
I wished they gave the rainbow mafia crap a rest. It’s gross.
Besides that it’s a cool show.
