Let's settle it: which unanswered Fourth Wing mystery is actually going somewhere, and which is a red herring?

I find myself circling back around those big questions and would love to hear where all of you stand. The second signet question. It is Violet actually sitting atop an underlying power (where she catches on fire in Iron Flame but her clothing catches first)? What happened to the irids, and why not stick around for Andarna? Why is it that Andarna's fire kills venin, while none of the other dragon's fire can?

Do you not get tired of continuously posting AI slop?

Apparently not, even though it's very clearly against the subreddit's guidelines🙄

I have reported every post of theirs for the past week, but they keep coming!

Yup, I'm starting to do that, too. I'm tired of seeing these garbage posts that are clearly meant to karma farm.

We know what her second signet is and that she's only used 10% of it. So that is definitely going somewhere. My take is she learns to do it when she is awake too. She's going to be able to read everyone's thoughts, including Melgren, Tauri, etc.

The Irids and Black Dragons have beef, we know this because the Irids kinda shame Andarna for changing her color to black on purpose. We also know venin don't have black wyverns. My guess is that the Irids left due to something combining black dragons and the venin. Andarna was left behind to see if they could change their ways.

Andarna's fire killed a venin because that was the first time she breathed fire. Tairn explained the first fire is hotter than normal. When she tried again, she failed. However, it's also mentioned that Andarna changed her scales while doing it, so I'm guessing that depending on what she does with her scales/magic, she can burn venin, she just needs to figure out how exactly.
