Bleublanc, when will your mysteries end?
Editor Note: This is more of a submitted observation than a submitted theory, but we don’t really have a category for that.

As we’re approaching the end of the Sen no Kiseki quadrology, we’ve learnt pretty much all there is to learn about Class VII’s members and their families. We know about the unfortunate deaths or convoluted circumstances of many of their family members. What about Crow’s parents? Are they really just ‘dead’? Continue reading Pappa Armbrust
After being devastated upon the ending of Sen no Kiseki III, I had to stop and take a step back to disengage and get myself together again. Somehow, it seems to help to look at things with a bigger scope than I would have as disaster was happening one after another.
In the process, I came across something that has been around for quite awhile in the series- a pattern that’s been seeded since First Chapter came out.
This theory will cross over much of the entire series- as a result, there will be tags across all the games.
Or: What the Hell Does ‘Emptiness is Form’ Mean?

My attempt at rationalizing the bonkers game that is Sen III, featuring the favorite word of the first two games: “Power”, and the favorite of the third game: “Curse”.
In Erebonia, the present continues to be haunted by the past. Shocking events repeat themselves beyond memories of citizens. The Black Records records these forgotten moments of history. In addition to the previously published five volumes in Trails of Cold Steel II, Sen no Kiseki III introduces seven more, each intriguing in its own way.
Unlike my Wald prediction, this one should be short and sweet, but I feel it is necessary to post it so that I have it time stamped before Sen no Kiseki III comes out this week.
I believe that we’ll see a repeat of the chain of events for Dreichels in a strangely similar fashion, as time seems to be interested in repeating itself.
But while similar events are happening, they are not exactly the same. Click the cut to find out more detail on this idea.
Replaying through the PC port of Sen no Kiseki, i’ve found myself giving more attention to events that had little-to-no follow-through, or events that can be seen as being more than meets the eye. One such instance occurs in Chapter 3, when the members of Class VII participate in a field study in the Nord Highlands.
I think events there were more than just a simple plan to make two countries get at each other’s throats; I think the events in Nord were meant to birth a new Dominion. Continue reading [Submitted Theory] War in Nord and a New Dominion
So, there is less than half a month remaining until Sen III’s release, and at this point we’re not likely to get much more info. Still, with what we already have I think there is enough to talk about a lot of things. Instead of lore or politics however, I want to write about our main character, the Ashen Chevalier, as a human: what we know, his change and his further development. In particular, in this piece I posit that Rean’s development in Sen III will be heavily related with that of his students, and that by helping them overcome his issues he will slowly grow and overcome his own.
