The lush scenery in the first game has an abandoned nature to it, especially the city. Then there are the anteater-like creatures [[spoiler: and the warring race isolated in the cave]] in Nevermore 3.

"The Learning" is about a computer that achieves conciousness, and begins attempting to emulate human behavior (or as it calls them, "flesh machines"). By the end, it begins to enact a sequence, which will eradicate humanity. "Sentient 6" is about a prototype of a sentient computer, which longs to become more than a machine (the lyrics implying that the machine wants to learn to dream, just like the machine in "The Learning" learned), and when it fails at that, it activates a sequence to eradicate humanity... Unless Nevermore wanted to write songs about two separate machines that both become concious and decide to eradicate humanity, it seems a little too obvious that those two songs are connected. For added effect, they even played "The Learning" followed immediately by "Sentient 6" on the Year Of The Voyager album.

Driven to desperation by her impending wedding, Annabel killed Lenore and herself to escape. This will cause their relationship to fracture once Lenore remembers. Alternatively, Annabel was ''about'' to go through with it before Lenore talked her down, only for a surprise third party to murder them.

[[WMG:How Ada will find her Spectre]]
A flashback will reveal Ada, like her ''Tamerlane'' counterpart, was a peasant desired by a man of higher birth. Specifically, she was a servant in a SecretRelationship with the nobleman she worked for. Ada was enamoured with her lover's promises to marry her, but always suffered insecurities that she was too lowly to be more than a dirty little secret. She died believing the nobleman had been stringing her along from the start, [[OnceMoreWithClarity only for the flashback to reveal the truth]]: Her lover professed the depth of his feelings as she passed. The epiphany that she was loved, and for just who she was, is the confidence boost Ada needs to unleash her Spectre.

When Montressor and Lenore go into her memories, they see past Lenore cut her hair short before setting her room on fire. According to this theory, Lenore was FakingTheDead in order to reintroduce herself in a male persona and offer herself as a suitor to Annabel.

[[WMG:The Deans came from a LiteralSplitPersonality]]
Specifically, Merry and Mourn are the optimistic and pessimistic sides of one person. Possible reasons for the split are the original ''voluntarily'' split himself in two to better tag team the students, or a yet-to-be-seen GreaterScopeVillain ''forcibly'' caused the split to trap him in the academy.

!The Webcomic
[[WMG: Ada was a peasant/servant when she was alive]]
This is a fairly popular theory, with a decent amount of evidence.
* Ada acts WickedPretentous, including mispronouncing "fancy" words and calling herself a lady while acting like a whiny brat.
* Her chosen last meal when she was alive would have been caviar, a famously expensive delicacy. When she actually tries to eat it, she finds that she absolutely loathes caviar, leading Prospero to question why she would want caviar if she'd never eaten it.
* She attaches herself to people she sees as fancy or posh like Annabel and Prospero, always putting herself in a subservient role.
