There is a forum topic on this very subject on the [https://web.archive.org/web/20190911192313/http://forums.drowtales.com/viewtopic.php?f=88&t=12473 site proper]
 
== Syphile's last words will be something to the effect of "Tell Ariel...."(Dies) ==
That way, no one will know what her sentence ended with. Like if it was either "that I still fucking hate her guts" or "I'm sorry".
* Um, [https://web.archive.org/web/20190911192314/http://forums.drowtales.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=12473&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=45 why does that sound familiar]....

Line 21:
*** But wasn't Mel'arnach's egg used for only the second attempt? She recalls that Wi'am Val'Jaal'Daarya was the one who approached her for one of her eggs in exchange for a biogolem. Maybe Jaal'Daarya [[Weird Science|science is different]] but unless the egg split in vitro you need one egg for one child. I thought for the first attempt it was implied that Snadhya'runes had used another potential "father".
**** This was discussed on the forums and the consensus was that she probably didn't take just one egg (it's not like Mel would have been in a position to notice the number taken), or that, again, the biology is different. It's also not specified what order the events happened in and if the first attempt did use Mel's DNA for it.
*** [https://web.archive.org/web/20190911192346/http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=8337 This page] mentions rumors about what the Jaal'Daarya do with their sons. Either drow biology is different, or it's not well-known enough for people to realize the crippling flaw in that theory.
 
== Maybe Kiel was right when she said {{spoiler|maybe the seed didn't take Naal over completely, as once Naal is safely locked away, she then reaches for her doll of Sharess' knight.}} ==
Line 28:
 
== Sha'sana is possessed by Sharess ==
* And, at some point, she'll call it 'my body'.
 
== Baliir is extremely handsome ==
* Because [https://web.archive.org/web/20110827160218/http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?order=chapters&id=1450 when he takes it off] at least one of the bystanders think so she is blushing and the others that react are all women not counting the only male who is preoccupied by something else.
 
== Could {{spoiler|Blossom from the Goddess Knight Daydream story}}be related to Quaintana? ==
* Daydream isn't usually Canon, but considering we have a page with {{spoiler|Diva'ratrika}} recalling her childhood and friends with a young Ash'waren corresponding to Faen, her Moon's Age pet feral to Melodia and her friend Blossom to Ariel. The implications are that each current character has something to do with the person Diva'ratrika is remembering-some type of ancestral resemblance etc. [https://web.archive.org/web/20190911192315/http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?check=1&order=chapters&overview=1&chibi=1&cover=1&page=1&extra=1&id=1159 See Chapter 22 page 23 ]
* Alternately, {{spoiler|it's ''Zhor'' who's related to Blossom. He was a dark elf, after all}}.
* Blossom's red hair correlates more with the Sarghress. Zhor in the Daydream story originally had white hair as a Dark Elf. Although the above theory could be a possible [[Red Herring]], as the character Naj'sera (one of the dark elven queens in Sharess' time) in personality is most like Quain'tana and was my original thought for who could be Quain'tana's ancestor.
** Blossom is actually [http://www.drowtales.com/~daydream/mel.php?sid=4910 a daughter] of [http://www.drowtales.com/~daydream/mel.php?sid=4721 Haiarhyn, another dokkalfar queen].
** While its true that Blossom is canonically Haiarhyn's daughter, what the OP was suggesting was that Blossom herself might be the mother or grandmother of Quain'tana, based on the flashback from {{spoiler|Diva/Liriel}}'s transformation scenes. The three figures present, Ariel, Faen and Melodia are seen by {{spoiler|Diva/Liriel}} as younger versions of Ash'waren, Blossom and Nana (the name of the feral Diva adopts in Goddess Knight). If however, the reader is simply going by eye and was only familiar with [[Day Dream]], judging by the personalities of the Dark Elf queens shown in the story, one could be forgiven for thinking that [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20111128073706/http://drowtales.com/~daydream/mel_free/20080130c08VelnariReport.jpg Naj'sera](far left, fourth panel) would be the one who's possibly an ancestor of Quain'tana.
** [[Word of God]] is that the Flower Queen seen in [https://web.archive.org/web/20190911192316/http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?order=chapters&id=1798 this story] is Blossom, so depending on how this story unfolds this might or might not be [[Jossed]].
 
== The two Scourges who poisoned {{spoiler|Kiel acted on the behalf of Ni'bai and Umpus.}} ==
Line 62:
 
== Drow and Elf ears are erogenous zones ==
* As adults their ears grow to surprising lengths and unless its just how Kern likes his fae biology to work there is no reason why this should be the case. Most elves in fiction have their ears grow (albeit slanted) upwards rather than outwards. Its also surprising that during battles you never see drow or elves [[Combat Pragmatist|going for the ears]] they just seem to randomly be there. I'm guessing that there is some probable [[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine|oomox]] going on here...
** There is a wallpaper of Mel and Snadhya where Mel is biting her ear, so this ''might'' actually be canon... not to mention that [https://web.archive.org/web/20100106060139/http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=6197 Mel nibbles on Ariel's] and this later [https://web.archive.org/web/20100106052735/http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=5051 gets a call back]...
*** [[Fridge Brilliance|They also might indicate gender]]. Female drow do tend have shorter and thicker ears than male drow IIRC.
** Here is another page which is probably more conclusive than the previous link [https://web.archive.org/web/20190911192316/http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?order=chapters&id=1698 19.10.2011]
** If they turn out not to be erogenous zones, they certainly help to indicate the age range of characters. Adult drow (both drowussu and drowolath) have extremely long, outwardly extended ears, child drow have rounded, slightly upward slanting ears, teenage/middle youth drow have longer ears than child drow but not to the extent of the adults and are somewhat rounder in the face like child drow and unlike adult drow.
 
== Kalki will betray Snadhya ==
Like mother, like daughter. [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20160305001505/http://drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=6848 They don't have a perfect relationship] and she might eventually get tired of Snadhya's [[Control Freak]] tendencies, and either choose Mel or strike out on her own.
* So far there hasn't been a sign that ''Mel'' would leave Snadhya's side. If Kalki's going to betray her, she has to do it alone.
** Mind you, every time Snadhya has asked Mel'arnach to join her in her activities, Mel has either avoided the question or outright declined. [https://web.archive.org/web/20151031011338/http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive//20101008c27p007.jpg This] [https://web.archive.org/web/20190911192315/http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive//20101017c27p016.jpg has] [https://web.archive.org/web/20160323112121/http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive//20110713c31p029.jpg happened] three times as of now. Maybe she secretly doubts Snadhya'rune's intentions?
** Even if the above doesn't happen, there's a good chance that Snadhya and Mel will fall out eventually, since its been stated by Mel that her desire is to live free on the surface and give birth to her future children there. Snadhya's main desire is to have "drow ruled by drow" and that means staying underground, unless she finds a way for drow children to be born overground.

== Tainted drow can mate with one another and thus produce tainted offspring ==
Not sure about this one, since in flashbacks to when she was a little kid [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20160306055604/http://drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=444 Kiel] doesn't seem to be tainted (her eyes are orange, so it's hard to tell, but they are drawn differently than a tainted character's), while it seems her mother already was, and odds are whoever her father was was also tainted.
* Jossed by [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20160304172952/http://drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=7769 this page].
 
== Nau'kheol or Sarnel will be possible love interests for Ariel after the time skip ==
Nau'kheol for the [[Dating Catwoman]] aspect or Sarnel for the [[Kissing Cousins]] aspect. With the latter case its less likely for Quain'tana to disapprove of it considering Sarnel's bloodline, so my money is on Ariel's love interest being Nau'kheol.
 
== Fae (Drow and Elves) are closely related to the [[StarcraftStarCraft|Protoss.]] ==
* The way Mana works is very similar to the Khala (I will admit that Protoss are more akin to reptiles than mammals, however). Maybe Fae are like the Protoss eqivalent of an Ourang-Outan.
 
== Mel's "study group" from the Daydream story will appear in the main story... ==
... As {{spoiler|Nidraa'chal}}. Think about it. It's said that there are {{spoiler|Nidraa'chal}} in ''every major clan'', and Mel's group was composed of girls from... every major clan. Including a Kyorl'solenurn. And who were they all recruited by? {{spoiler|Snadhya'rune}}. This one is so heavily implied in the DD story that I'll be shocked if this isn't true.
* Pretty much confirmed as of [https://web.archive.org/web/20150617062420/http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=8567 this page], since that's Sal'bara, one of the proteges.
 
== Yafein will return... ==
... And he'll be tainted. Given how much emphasis he puts on [https://web.archive.org/web/20190911191317/http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?order=chapters&id=164 growing stronger] and insisting that he's [https://web.archive.org/web/20100106062925/http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=4741 not weak] he'll be tempted by Emperor Pal-- er, Snadhya'rune, and get a seed to make him stronger. {{spoiler|Said seed will later devour him}}.
* [[Jossed]], and though he has returned, he's even worse than tainted, and to quote many, many people on the site forums, he's a '''DOUCHE'''.
 
Line 113:
 
== Lulianne is now a [[Deep-Cover Agent]] in the Sarghress clan for {{spoiler|Snadhya'rune}} ==
Now that she {{spoiler|has been possessed by Khaless}} she'll be working for {{spoiler|Snadhya'rune}} against the Sarghress to further her plans. The front cover of Chapter 32 seems to suggest this as well. When Mel'arnach and {{spoiler|Snadhya'rune}} are having their [https://web.archive.org/web/20160323112121/http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive//20110713c31p029.jpg discussion in the carriage], the latter's dialogue wasn't just an example of her [[Affably Evil|affably evilness]] or her just trying to be philosophical (LOL), it was actually a Chekhov'sGun for admitting that {{spoiler|Khaless possessed Lulianne}} and that being able to manipulate emotions is easy for {{spoiler|a demon}}.
* Seemingly confirmed by Chapter 36. {{spoiler|1=[[Word of God]] reveals that [http://www.drowtales.com/wordpress/?p=3760 Lulianne is now completely taken over] by Khaless.}}
 
Line 122:
== Quain'tana does not just want an heir from Mel'arnach, she wants a womb transplant ==
 
A massive stab wound rendered Quain'tana sterile and barren. Seen [https://web.archive.org/web/20190911192315/http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive//20110820c32p015.jpg here], [https://web.archive.org/web/20190911192315/http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive//20110822c32p016.jpg here] and now [https://web.archive.org/web/20190911192324/http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive//20110921c32p042.jpg here], the context seems to point to something beyond just Ariel. What else would Quain'tana want that Mel'arnach has?
* People are convinced that Quain'tana just wants even more potential heirs, in case Ariel dies or fails.
 
== Sharess has become the demon... ==
* '''Discordia'''. Discordia is said to be a shard of a powerful Demon God from the end of the Moon Age. And the [https://web.archive.org/web/20190911192317/http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?order=chapters&id=803 picture of the Demon God] includes a [[Suspiciously Specific Denial]] footnote saying that we're seeing Kiel's imagination, not how it ''really'' looks.
* '''Discordia's Old Enemy'''. That is, the demon Sene'kha wanted to summon using Discordia as bait. Who else could have destroyed the Demon God Discordia came from if not Sharess?
* '''Khaless'''. She is the most intelligent and poweful demon yet seen, and her shadow form's eyes resemble the markings on Sharess' forehead.
Line 138:
 
== Laele'aell had minor empathy ==
* As good a soldier as she was, the real reason she got on so well with Quain'tana was because her latent empathy helped soften her mother's attitude towards her far more than otherwise. Her minor empathic abilities also helped her to be a good leader to her Fallen Legion troops.
 
== There will be more flashbacks of Kiel ==
Line 144:
** The author was watching her, but didn't actually put that part on the website
** Kiel is being watched by more than one person. The others might just not be making a webcomic of it, or they might be in another universe writing their own version of Drowtales.
** Kiel really is just talking to an imaginary friend, and the camera just moves where it is because it's the best view, like it did when she was [https://web.archive.org/web/20171008063307/http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=6719 actually talking to Naal].
** Kiel's childhood has been written about in the members only section, and I just don't know about it because I'm not a member.
 
Line 161:
 
== Most drowussu/drowolath hybrids are the result of drowolath male and drowussu female couplings ==
It makes sense as most drowolath females would see drowussu males as weak and would hardly have the spare time to meet with drowussu males (who are also in templar/warden relationships with their females). This would also explain why high ranking hybrids such as those in the fallen Dutan'vir clan, emulate the gender dynamics of drowussu. Most hybrids also tend to look more drowussu than drowolath as well, probably due to the mother's genetics in-universe being stronger.
 
== Kyo'nne is with the Duskians ==
Many readers were puzzled by the fact that Kyo'nne doesn't appear in chapters 33 and 34, despite it being set in Nuqrah'shareh. Well, maybe she is there, just not with the Illhar'dro. The last time we saw he she was [https://web.archive.org/web/20171008060218/http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=7712 fawning over] a Nuqrah'sharehan boy [https://web.archive.org/web/20171008055314/http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=8014 who looks a lot like the Duskian who greets Chrys]. Same eye and hair color. So maybe Kyo's been there the entire time, and the fact that the Duskians are culturally more like drowussu appealed to her since she was still getting over Shan. [[Word of God]] is the story will shift back to Nuqrah at some point, and when it does we'll either see Chrys visit the Tower of Dusk and be surprised to see her old friend or the Duskians will send an envoy, who happens to be Kyo.
* [[Jossed]]. She's still in Chel.
 
Line 184:
 
== Faen used drugs to cope with going to a school full of demons ==
[httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20120818200243/http://drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=8526 Here], Faen calms Ariel with thoughts of peace, love, and chocolate. [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20160623004455/http://drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=6919 Here], chocolate is shown to be some kind of drug to drow. Also, it's apparently not too hard to get in Orthorbbae. There's no way to tell when Faen ate chocolate, but given that school was the only time she both was both under a lot of stress and had access to chocolate, it would be the most likely time. Also, if this is true, Faen would have had to deal with withdrawal as well as people dying when she was imprisoned, which would have made the PTSD worse. That's not really necessary to explain it though.
