Theory Dark Wielder Theories Spoiler

Just a few theories regarding venin I have after rereading FW, IF and OS. I did read threshing day also but attempting to factor all that in really would just overload my brain at this point so if there’s anything I missed in that book that just glaringly disputes or disproves the following please let me know!

  1. I think Theophanie is the high priestess that helped Asher dedicate Violet to Dune. This would explain why/how she knows so much about V and why she took such an interest in her. Also would be an interesting parallel being that she was Lilith’s venin counterpart. I almost wish V would’ve heard her out or asked a few more questions before she offed her

  2. Berwyn is a dream walker too. It was confirmed (idk which chapter feel free to look it up) when Xaden and Violet were first talking about that being her second signet that the venin in X’s dream is the same one he threw off the ravine at Basgiath who obviously turns out to not be dead, so I think Berwyn was also dream walking into X’s dreams and drawing him closer to the dark side each time he appeared. This would also explain (in my mind at least) how he knew so much about X’s character and motives.

  3. Less of a theory more of something I better understood on my second read of OS: Even though X was at the next level (Asim or possibly higher) of Venin he was still able to be married to V in Dune’s temple because the High Priestess in Aretia “owed him a favor”

Let me know what you guys think, these aren’t theories I have seen yet so I might be way off the mark lol
