[[WMG: The Vale King's Weapons were ...]]
* ... Two of the four relics. In the WOR episode "The Great War", the King of Vale led the deciding battle personally against Mantle and Mistral's armies, in defense of Vacuo's dust mines. The sword he wielded was orange, indicating that it was given to him by Vacuo's leader. The scepter he wields alongside it, however, is his own. His efforts lay waste to both armies, in what was the deadliest battle of the whole War. At it's end, the other three leaders were all willing to bow down to his rule.
However, he decided to instead found the Huntsman Academies. As we now ''know'' thanks to Qrow in "A Much Needed Talk", Ozpin's predecessor was responsible for building them to house the relics. It's likely that he had possession of at least two of them. The sword, in this case, was likely the relic of destruction; after all, ''how else'' could the King have killed as many troops as he had? And as for his scepter, it may be the relic of choice; his actions after the battle were essentially giving the other kingdoms a choice to work together, fight the Grimm, and keep humanity united.
[[WMG: Ozpin's previous incarnation was the last King of Vale.]]
* Ozpin tells Oscar that he founded the academies personally. With the events of the Great War, we learn that it was the last King of Vale who actually founded them. Given that the FusionDance of Ozpin and Oscar was preceded with one between Ozpin and someone else ... then that someone else ''must'' have been the King of Vale.

* Confirmed in the WoR episode on the Great War. After a Grimm attack on a lucrative shipping line, Mantle decreed that art and self-expression needed to be suppressed in order to prevent Grimm attacks. Mistral, with whom Atlas were trading with, agreed and enforced the same ban in spite of its rich artistic culture. Vale had beef with this and other things the two allies had been doing (slave labour and so on), but it didn't spark the war. What ''did'' was the colonisation of Sanus's eastern shores by Mistral; Vale had already settled the area, a riot between the two bands of settlers erupted and it escalated into war, with Vacuo siding with Vale because they feared being conquered after Vale fell.

That's more me trying to be GenreSavvy than anything that show implies, but if Blake threw away Sun's scroll without looking at the photo then it probably means looking at the photo would've spared everyone a lot of headaches in the future. Sun never met Adam, so he doesn't know just how significant that person is, and doesn't know his name, so he couldn't just tell Blake who is this guy. And if Blake didn't know who is the white fang in question, then wha's the point of not looking at the photo?

[[WMG: The volume will end with an invasion of Haven Academy]]
Only this time Team RNJR and the rest of Team RWBY's presence will turn it into an overwhelming defeat for Salem's faction. Some ways this might go:
* Because of Salem's confirmed interest in Ruby, Qrow will contact Ironwood to come to Haven and he will bring Weiss, Yang, and Taiyang with him.
* Capturing Tyrian will cause the White Fang to plan an attack on Haven, which will result Blake, Sun, and Blake's parents arriving at Haven to warn them and to help.
* Ironwood will use new Atlesian technology on Tyrian to read his mind and discover Salem's plans.
* During the invasion Raven will appear with the bandit tribe for a BigDamnHeroes moment and lead the fight against the White Fang.
* Possible matchups:
** Yang vs Adam to get even with him for cutting her arm off and hurting Blake.
** Blake vs Adam, where she finally tells him off for his madness and gets even with him for everything he's done.
** Taiyang vs Adam where Tai delivers a CurbStompBattle for Adam maiming his daughter.
** Ironwood vs Watts because Watts is the one that created the virus that enabled so many of Cinders plans.
** Taiyang vs Hazel because Hazel is the one who killed Summer.
** Qrow vs Sienna Kahn because of Qrow's fight with Tyrian.
** Ghira vs Sienna Kahn because of Ghira finding out what the White Fang have been up to since he stepped down.
** Raven vs Sienna Kahn because of the latter trying to attack Qrow because of his fight with Tyrian.
** Weiss vs Emerald where Weiss will master summoning, which will give her victory because Emerald's semblance won't work on the summoned creatures.

[[WMG: Ghira was ousted as the leader of the White Fang]]
As the extremists began to take hold within the higher ranks of the White Fang, their propaganda and deception tactics became more extreme. So they formulated a plan: a secret smear campaign against Ghira. This leads to his ouster, which would be sanitized in the media as a resignation. This also explains why Blake had to run away from the organization altogether -- the reputation of her father was disgraced.

[[WMG: Raven's tribe will be slaughtered by Salem.]]
While Raven is aware of Salem. she seems to be keeping out of the fight against her. However, at some point Salem will get angry with the bandit tribe and kill them all. As for the motive, one possibility is that she'll save Ruby for some reason and, because no one save the villains knows that Ruby is Salem's primary target, will incur Salem's wrath. Another possibility is that Raven will reveal Salem's existence to Ruby. Salem's plans rely on the public being unaware of her existence, which Ozpin and his group preserve to prevent a panic, and if someone's going around doing otherwise than there's a risk that humanity would unite. As a bonus, as Raven gets more screen-time, she'll be fleshed out more and become more sympathetic.
