If the above WMG about Wintersea having an Arcane knack is correct, what if she's a Wundersmith? It's confirmed that Wundersmiths don't age as quickly, so she could potentially be much older than she looks. If she could also use magic to alter her appearance, she could fly under the radar for ages. What if "Maud Lowry" isn't the latest person to hold the title of President Wintersea, but is in fact just the latest cover identity for the one and only President Wintersea?

[[WMG: There's going to be some ShipTease between Anah and Francis.]]
Just a hunch, based on the fact that Francis always goes above and beyond and out of his way to protect, defend and compliment Anah.

It seems she is powerful beyond her political position. She was spooked when Morrigan suggested she had more power than a regular politician. President Wintersea acted like a mind reader might when Morrigan said she wasn't there about the hollowpox which was both true and a lie at the same time.

How or why, I don't know, but I have a hunch that he's going to find out sooner or later. [[spoiler:Seeing as how high-ranking government officials know about the Free State, and he's a politician, it's possible he might get elected to a high enough office to be informed. And seeing as how Jupiter, the extremely memorable guy who wanted to mentor his daughter and was there when she "died," is a ''very'' public figure in the Free State...]]

It's clear by now that it's not entirely the safe haven Jupiter would like it to be, and some of the inner workings are pretty messed up at ''best''. Perhaps she'll pull a ScrewThisImOuttaHere, at least temporarily. Look out Morrigan having trouble getting access the nine Liminal Halls on Sub-Nine and dealing with the nine-man safeguard pact.

* '''Corvus:''' Maybe calling him a "main" character is a stretch, but it'd still be interesting to see how Morrigan takes it. It's one thing to never want to see your father again; it's another to have him die and know you'll never get a chance to change your mind. Not to mention the fact that she'd have to wrestle with the fact that he would die thinking he outlived her.



At the end of the first book, Jupiter told Morrigan that they're safe, but didn't clarify how he knows. Perhaps he sent them into hiding somewhere in Nevermoor? And if they're Wundersmiths as well...

''Hollowpox'' planted the seeds for this one. My working theory is that [[spoiler:when Wintersea's evil is inevitably discovered by the Free State, they'll seclude themselves even more from the rest of the world, and start really cracking down on illegal immigration. (Remember the border control worker who looked the other way when Jupiter brought in Morrigan? He may soon be out of a job.) This will somehow drive the conflict of a future book, or at least make whatever the conflict is worse--and the solution will be to let the world know that the Free State exists.]]

[[WMG:Squall is from outside the Free State.]]
It'd be a cool parallel with Morrigan, and depending on the circumstances of his coming to Nevermoor and his life before, it could explain why he's so desperate to return there, beyond wanting revenge.

[[WMG:A future book will feature the other kids that were supposed to die on Morrigan's eleventh birthday.]]

[[WMG:In a future installment, the Free State's isolationist practices are going to get worse before they get better... and they will backfire ''very'' badly.]]

Added DiffLines:

!Spoilers from the first two books will be unmarked. Proceed at your own risk.

[[WMG:In a future installment, Morrigan will turn against Wunsoc.]]
It's clear by now that it's not entirely the safe haven Jupiter would like it to be, and some of the inner workings are pretty messed up at ''best''. Perhaps she'll pull a ScrewThisImOuttaHere, at least temporarily.

On that note...

[[WMG:Squall has a FreudianExcuse.]]
Mind you, FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse -- I doubt he'll be absolved of his actions or that they'll be somehow justified. But given how shady certain parts of Wunsoc are, and how certain he is [[spoiler:that they'll alternate between making Morrigan a hero and throwing her under the bus depending on what's most convenient for them, and the fact that so far, he seems to be ''right'' about that]], I can't help but feel that there is more to this story. It's doubtful his actions will ever be ''justified'', but I suspect a revelation in future books will make it at least a tiny bit understandable.

[[WMG:A main character will die.]]
The series seems to following the grand tradition of children's series getting gradually darker and the stakes getting higher with each installment. So, it stands to reason that sooner or later, a main character's going to bite it. Place your bets here.

* '''Jupiter:''' Good God, I ''hope'' not. But MentorOccupationalHazard is a very real thing, and his death could easily be a major turning point of the series. Jack would likely have to step up and take some of his responsibilities, and Morrigan would be left without her greatest advocate and protector. It would force them both to do a lot of growing up, ''very'' quickly.
* '''Miss Cheery:''' Similar reasons as Jupiter, except it would [[BreakTheCutie affect all of Unit 919]].
* '''Thaddea:''' VasquezAlwaysDies, anyone?
* For that matter, '''any member of Unit 919''' would be a surefire way of showing that Townsend is playing for keeps.

[[WMG:Morrigan's mother was a Nevermoorian.]]
I got nothing. Just a hunch.

[[WMG:We haven't seen the last of Mildmay.]]
