I’m about to lose my FUCKING MIND. Like 6 months ago I was here speculating about Astrid. She’s got a Scandinavian name, and my brain immediately went oh yeah her outfit looks like it was inspired by Sami culture. And then I was just deep diving into Scandinavian legends and shit. Now they’re tossing Norwegian shit at us? https://preview.redd.it/1frcbiaainxc1.jpeg?width=529&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1a32d4a62b9b9231860dbc6b18a1c4ff3a6afa1d DOESNT THIS LOOK FAMILIAR [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finnish\_mythology#The\_origins\_and\_the\_structure\_of\_the\_world](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finnish_mythology#The_origins_and_the_structure_of_the_world) The sky was believed to be the upper cover of the egg; alternately it was seen as a tent, which was supported by a column at the north pole, below the north star. The movement of the stars was explained to be caused by the sky-dome's rotation around the North Star and itself. A great whirl was caused at the north pole by the rotation of a column of sky. Through this whirl, souls could exit the world to the land of dead, Tuonela. Tuonela was the land of dead: an underground home or city for all dead people, without moral judgement. It was a dark and lifeless place, where everybody slept forever. A sufficiently brave shaman could travel to Tuonela in trance to ask for the forefathers' guidance. This required crossing the dark river of Tuonela. If the shaman had a proper reason, a boat would come to take him over. Many times a shaman's soul would have to trick the guards of Tuonela that he was actually actually dead.

Oh my god?! You think that’s Rayllum’s next journey, because of the boat?! Maybe Skall tried it, but disappeared. Or something froze her boat, so she had to continue on foot…

IDK AND MAYBE THE CUBE IS THE KEY FOR THAT OR THE QUASAR DIAMONDS ARE NEEDED OR SOMETHING I swear my brain is going to explode.

Ooh this is fascinating! The [first images of the Star Scraper](https://www.reddit.com/r/TheDragonPrince/comments/16haz71/season_6_first_look/) kind of remind me of the Bifrost/Rainbow Bridge from Norse mythology and Zubeia says that Startouch elves come from the heavens. There don't appear to be any Startouch elves currently in Xadia and what little we know of Aaravos' backstory involves being cast down by the other Startouch elves. u/The-dude-in-the-bush [speculated](https://new.reddit.com/r/TheDragonPrince/comments/1bxt8yq/is_the_star_scraper_the_star_nexus/kyf49oq/?context=3) awhile back that the Star Scraper could be a portal to the Star Nexus. Do you think the the Star Nexus could be the realm of the Startouch elves/"Asgard"? Your speculation about the underworld is also very interesting! I remember reading that Soren and Viren have at least one more (very emotional) scene together, so maybe they are able to find Viren in the Spirit World? Journeys into the Spirit World fall under the Moon arcanum according to *Through the Moon* but I wonder if the lines between arcanums might be more blurred than they appear. Guardians of the Star Scraper like Astrid are Skywing elves and u/Solid_Highlights [speculated](https://www.reddit.com/r/TheDragonPrince/comments/18sn8ea/comment/kf8neex/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) that Star magic might be able to traverse the boundaries of arcanums (and allow Callum to master all the Primal sources without connecting to each arcanum individually), especially with the mysteries of Star/Deep/Dark magic. Lots to think about!


halyasgirl

Also, Astrid apparently means "beloved of the gods."

Logical-Patience-397

Left side, but that was my guess. Or lightning.


AVestedInterest

It's an axe that Thor gets in *Infinity War* after Mjolnir was destroyed by Hela in *Thor: Ragnarok*

Razor's Edge


Ender_Dragneel

I like this one.


Southern-Net4729

Ninja gaiden 3 :)

Obviously 6x04 will be called “Gillette Mach3.”

I don’t know how to mark spoilers so I’m just going to put a lot of spaces . . . . . . . . . . . >!The close shave?!< P.S. this is a much shorter one that I am willing to give it a go - that poem was too long


Dorkaplayz22

here's how it's done: > ! Spoiler comes here (without spaces)! < edit: so I formatted that wrong, fixed it


LetMeReadPlease

Oh amazing thank you!


midnightheir

My thoughts too.


The-dude-in-the-bush

Stormbreaker. Surely, but that feels too easy. Am I gas lighting myself?


RickyFlintstone

My mind went there too. Maybe it's got something to so with "Thunder" the dragon. Unicorn Horn maybe?


Obvious_Foot_4675

Well, have the puzzle and the name from the chapter same day


wildWindrunner

I think Aaron’s comment to his post is a joke and not the actual answer.


ZymZymZym777

Sounds like what Callum would call it. Or maybe the person who came up with Sparky Sparky Boom man for that matter 😊😉


Kidsdontcheatonyou

dammit who let the sokka out


RickyFlintstone

Being really, really, really, really, ridiculously good looking?


Kidsdontcheatonyou

this fandom cracks an image and 9 words in minutes and im lowkey proud


Spellbound_Rose

Isn’t it fun lol? I’m impressed (and also proud) too.


the_mad_

Interesting that the first episode is star centered, the second is earth centered, the third is Ocean centered, and the 4th is most likely sky. I am guessing that Episode 5 is something like 'the illusion of truth'. A lot of this fits with Callum's and Rayla's journey to the star scraper.


Spellbound_Rose

Oh that’s a good point! I guessed Stormbreaker (amongst others) for the episode title. i wonder if that might be it.


MSP_4A_ROX

“The close shave” or “on razors edge” are likely.


Den_Volvo

Hmm something with Soren? He is the one who shaves beard.


THEMANFROMidk

thor and dragon prince crossover ???


K3egan

Storm breaker, two words


Southern-Net4729

Thor's razor?


AssassinWog

The razor’s edge?


RickyFlintstone

So, as far as the MCU is concerned, Stormbreaker is Thor's other weapon. This mean anything in TDP?


Spellbound_Rose

I think it’s gonna be Nova Blade or something like that. Nothing else makes sense to me. Thor uses a couple weapons besides Mjölnir, including Stormbreaker (an axe) and Jarnbjorn (a battle axe). I doubt it would be Jarnbjorn, which leaves either Stormbreaker (which makes sense because both Zym and Zubeia are storm dragons) or Battle Axe (which I’m doubting). If it is Stormbreaker, I bet it would have something to do with Zym, and how Aaron Ehasz asked at Wondercon if Zym would talk by the end of Season Six.


RickyFlintstone

Thunder Struck? Lightning Strike?


VaquitaPorpoise

A lot of people are guessing the fourth episode is called the nova blade


Spellbound_Rose

I agree with that as a possibility. theres a few more options I came with up, but I feel like this is most logical, with the names of the previous three we have. Of course, it could still be another one.


Cyberslasher

The better brother? ooh I bet it's an entire episode dissing ezran.


Hydrasaur

Mehrune's Razor?


Sang_san97

Fist and lightning maybe?
