Aaravos’ Backstory: TDP Foreshadowing

So guys, I am a big nerd who loves foreshadowing in fantasy. While watching Season 2 of TDP, I took screenshots of the books Viren found in the library when he was trying to look up Aaravos, just in case they were decipherable…

And this book looks like it was written in a Germanic language!

So I typed the words into Google Translate, and they’re in Danish!

(TDP fans who actually speak Danish, please forgive me for this terrible google translate job. And fix my mistakes if you want, because I’m not sure I spelled anything correctly. XD)

From the top of the first screenshot:

From the second screenshot (same page; this screenshot was easier to read):

Conclusions:

  • Aaravos is super powerful
  • In the past, he helped one group of people fight another. From the way this is written, he probably helped the humans fight the elves. The author says he/she has never heard a name like Aaravos before (he/she’s not an elf) and that others call his/her people “inferior.” Sometimes humans are perceived this way in the show because they can’t do magic. Aaravos encouraged the author’s people to take control of their destiny.
  • He also gave them “awards.” I looked up “foraæringerne” and I think “gifts” is a better translation. He gave humans magic? Weapons? Magical weapons? Maybe he taught them dark magic!
  • This reinforces the already convincing theory that he’s a villain
  • The TDP team has mastered foreshadowing
  • I am going to sleep now

EDIT: The second book is in Arabic, and @restuffedants translated the screenshot!
