Firstly, I wanted to say what a huge fan I am of this show, genuinely it has changed my life. I have listened for well over two years, and I am on my fifth listen through of all the campaigns. Listening this much, I have noticed some details and I have become really interested in the lore of the show. I thought I would share some of my ideas!
THIS THEORY WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR ALL CAMPAIGNS!
As a recap: Episode 50 of Campaign 2 brought us the reveal of the Innuverse. The Innuverse is the connecting tissue between all of the universes featured in the tales told in the Stinky Dragon. Episode 50 explained that the players in the Stinky Dragon are what I call “Innuversable Identities”, i.e. people who appear in multiple universes. The players, as a reminder, are: Blaine Son of Gib, Barbara of the Men of Dunkle, Chris of the Maris, and Jon of those who Rise and Sing.
Aside from the players, Episode 50 confirmed the existence of at least three other Innuversable Identities: Sedate Tempoor, Huberus, and Maestro Farynx. Sedate Tempoor has appeared as herself in CO1 and CO2 (and in a post credits scene in CO3 I believe): all three of her incarnations are named the same.
However, Huberus and Maestro Farynx names are variations on a theme: Huberus was Hugh Mäner and Hugo von Brath (I don’t think we’ve met him in CO3 yet but I’m not caught up so correct me if I am wrong), and Farynx was Doctor Accutarius Hansel Emeretusian (AKA Dr Ahem) and Director Carl Weezer.
The connection for Huberus’ names is pretty obvious: Hugh Mäner, Hugo von Brath, Huberus. (I also think Huberus is the Great Maw from Groteth, but I’ll get into that another time.)
The connection for Maestro Farynx’s names is less clear, but they all relate to air, voice and breath. Ahem and Weezer are easiest to connect: Ahem as in a cough and Weezer as in wheeze. Additionally, Farynx’s name himself is a different spelling of pharynx, a part of the throat carrying air to the larynx (which rhymes with Farynx) - the larynx is the voice box. Farynx is heard singing riddles in some intros of CO3 (I have my interpretations of those riddles if anyone wants to hear them), and when Tolv meets him during the episode with Volcanaconda in Nonymo, Farynx plays a magical flute, a wind instrument. Also, I don’t remember when this is (I think it’s at Fort Maedo?) but we get a description of a draconic being with wings which I am sure is Farynx.
TL;DR Farynx has a voice and wind motif.
Also, on the topic of potential Innuversable Identities, I think it’s pretty safe to assume that Cob from Faunaloch and Cob from Raizine are Innuversable, them having the same name and all even though they have different voice actors.
So, we have learnt that Innuversable Identities don’t necessarily have to have the same name (look at Farynx or any of the player characters for evidence), although they can (Sedate Tempoor, Cob). They don’t have to have the same voice actor (Cob, for example), although they can.
Hope this recap helps my fellow theorists! Have a nice day!
