This submitted theory is a collaboration between Ternasyl and Maoist, both from the Falcom Discord.
A theory relating to to the Septian Church Goddess Aidios, her relationship with septium, pleroma grass and a brief comparison of Gnostic belief and how it relates to Aidios being a prison for the world.

Since I just had so much fun predicting the unpredictable with my Enforcer theory, I figure I might as well do one more. So submitted for your entertainment, my predictions for the names and titles (and even a stab at the Japanese renderings just for fun) of all five unknown Sept-Terrion.
[Ed. note: This is an oldie – it’s been sitting in the draft for 1.5+ years now – but by popular demand I’ll hit the Publish button.]
Family is an important theme throughout Trails of Cold Steel and Trails of Cold Steel II. Amidst that focus, surprisingly little is said about Laura’s mother. Unless she was born out of thin air — or, say, a sword — we can assume that at one point in time Victor S. Arseid had a female partner that gave birth for Laura. Although said woman is mentioned by neither father nor daughter, she might have been present for far longer than we know.
In which I analyze the Enforcers and their associated symbolism, at great length. You might want to be sitting down for this one.

Loosely translated as “Game over”, Acta Est Fabula is the latest and – weighing in at almost 3000 words – longest theory submitted by Aliseyun. An overarching theory encompassing the major aspects of Erebonian lore, ranging from the Witches and Gnomes, Zoro-Agruga and the Divine Knights, and of course that mysterious Great Power.
This is an observation that was made quite some time ago by YagamiKyo. However, due to lack of time on his part, I’ve chosen to post it on here for him, since it’s too good (and important) of an observation to not include on this website.
Please note, there are major endgame spoilers for Ao no Kiseki in this observation, which will spoil all of the Crossbell duology. Thus it has been tagged with both Zero and Ao no Kiseki.

Don’t you love artifacts? I love artifacts! Every scientist loves artifacts! They don’t like the church because of the articles and laws governing artifacts, but that’s all just a side issue.
And for some reason, just about everyone has lost the knowledge of how they exactly work and how to make them, despite being really lovable. The ancients must have been nuts not to pass their knowledge down or really really lazy!
Or were they?

This theory proposes a possibility that the natures of the seven Anguis of Ouroboros were modelled after, or inspired by, the seven deadly sins.
Uhoh, we’re back on this theory again.
This is what happens when you give me time to think about a theory- and in this theory in particular, I couldn’t stop thinking about it, even after posting it. In fact, posting it got me to thinking even more.
Going through this theory does require additional reading, and for that, I point you to the original post I made on this subject.
This starts with a lot of observations to pull together to make the theory. There are definitely spoilers in this for Cold Steel II- especially its NG+ scene. I’m also using some minor info from the Crossbell Games to back this theory.
There are also lots of images behind the cut on this.

This is something that’s been kind of brewing in the back of my head for months, but until recently, I’ve never had the opportunity to “put it onto paper,” so to speak, due to everything else I’ve been dealing with.
So here we go-
