Has the Fridge Door mystery finally been solved?

[@veggietaleslvr]

im 9 months late but at each of the stars points is where we first meet the 5 soul riders, the first point in fort pinta is the first time we meet Alex . the second point in greendale is where Lisa’s horse starshine is and we reunite them together, first meeting them both together the third point is golden hills vally which Linda’s horse was and we also reunite them together the fourths point is mystic vally (i think) and its where the portal to pandoria is where we meet anne and the fifth point is valedale where we find out our character is the 5th soul rider

[@idontknowwhattosayicantfeeelit]

The Ritual Theory is even better when you know, that on Forgotten Fields you can get a star if 4 people stand on 4 "rocks" - then the star appears. What if it's a hint? Like, for the actual ceremony soul Riders are supposed to do....

There is actually mention of the fridge doors in recent main story quests! In the Fort Maria library, I believe it was Linda who said that she found something about the mysterious doors while doing research. However, she’s interrupted before she has the chance to say anything more about it.

[@kisroka11]

Yes there is! I played it recently but i remember that Mrs.Holdsworth said that she has a theory and she actually told it to the other soulriders but we didn't get to hear it because we had to play with Beatrix and Concord.

I'm Late and probably nobody will see this, but! i'm pretty sure the highest point of the star is also where the secret stone circle is! i know the stone circle is between realms but the final point of the star where there are no accessible areas is bang center of where you are in the map when you're in the stone circle. so maybe that the final location for the ritual? the dark riders have to access the secret stone circle for the druids and soul riders and create the final point to finally summon Garnok into Jorvik.

[@pvnecxne]

Okay, but listen to this… Later in the story line, we will learn the location of the fifth fridge door, but there are only 4 soul riders. You are the last point of that Star/ fridge door. YOU decide the fate of Jorvik, that is why at the equestrian festival, Sabine tried to get you on her side, you are the key to Jorvik rising, or falling. I am so excited to see this unfold, but I also wonder if we could get a big clue with the Devil’s Gap?? I question this because Devil’s Gap is a place where the Vala Witches are, but they are of great power and energy, but I believe they chose there, because that is where pandoric energy is at it’s peak, and that gives them power. This also leads me to believe that is why the Dark Riders we’re trying to work with the Vala Witch, because she is closer to Pandoria and it’s energy flow than they themselves are. Please, tell me what you think ! 😄 Also, with wha t you said, I wonder if any other inner points on the star hold important clues to this, or if there is anything along the lines of the star? Inner points! : 1- The UFO, I didn’t check it out, because I figured we all know what’s there, but I will check it out and see if I find anything new! :) 2- The Vineyard’s Garden with Bjorn and Agnetha, at first there wasn’t anything strange, then I remembered the blocked drain, that happens to be tunnel sized… 3- The the bottom point of the wheat field by Silverglade village, there wasn’t anything out of the ordinary, EXCEPT for this strange little diver, that continued in a straight line, and was no ordinary divet, it was too straight… (Ydris is also nearby, is it possible he could sense more Pandoric energy there…) 4- The area to the left of Will’s Mill coming from Silverglade. There is a rune stone there, that is right smack on the inner point! There is also a weirdly smooth dip, next to the rune stone… 5- This one was hard, there was nothing I could find very much out of the ordinary, except that the ground suddenly rises to a mount train, and nearby there is a rune stone, and a mysterious area with a whole bunch of random rocks… Okay, so I didn’t notice anything really on the outline of the Star, but I did notice a couple things that I need to go over with you, first I found a couple things in the Everwind Fields, there was a mysterious little spot of dirt, that is right along the line from the missing point to the center of the star. I also looked at the spot that where it looks like trash is piled up in a little dip in this rock, I used to always think that it was just trash from GED, which is true, but if you see it is the exact things they use at the oil site in the Everwind Fields. Lastly, I found that each of the inner points are the end of the tunnels! That is why. The pipe in the Silverglade garden is blocked off, and if you trace the lines of the Star past where they meet at the center, they reach the inner points…

The things I still can't explain is HOW our soul rider generation is so clueless and how the previous one didn't prepare us. There's like clues everywhere and nobody is paying attention, what is the purpose of the training if we can't even pay attention to our surroundings or make proper researches? Linda pretends to be the brain of the group but damn she's slow and not really bright. I really feel like they made our MC and the soul riders useless at that point.

I think a large reason behind why we haven't heard much about these doors and the star formation is because SSE has simply not written the story out that far yet and they don't know what to do afterwards.. It's just too little, too late.

[@PootisDaLoopis]

Loving all the theories in the comments. This is what SSO NEEDS. This sort of mystery and air of the unknown. My personal theories: (This might conflict with some Dino Valley lore/lore in general. I don't remember it exactly. It's been years since I done these quests.) The "asteroid" of Aideen that fell to earth in Jorvik legend is actually the UFO. The Shadowy Hills and associated terrain in that area is the alien fauna and environment growing there. It's way too convenient in my mind that they're RIGHT next to one another. Pandoria, and the inherent magic in Jorvik, is extra-terrestrial and alien in origin. I know that Dino Valley is supposed to be where the asteroid fell - but we've never actually seen the asteroid there and folklore stories potentially thousands of years old are not reliable sources of information. Further support for the "Jorvik has massive caves under it that house Pandoria." theory: Dino Valley had a gigantic ice cavern/cave covering the area which the asteroid supposedly broke through. This is how Dino Valley became so cold, isolated from the outside. Remember that quest where the Valedale waterfall turned pink (a colour ALWAYS associated with Pandoria)?The waterfall comes from a cave entrance. In the most recent quests where you need to go to Fort Maria and unlock that hidden area. The Vala Witches used tunnels to get around Jorvik - * a tunnel system using the roots of primeval trees- the primeval trees of were said to all be connected underground via their roots*. If I think of any more I'll come back and edit this!

[@warriormaiden9829]

See, I'm leaning towards the UFO being *Fripp's* ship. Aideen's landing point was on the ocean, and then she galloped to the island (hitting land by Goldenleaf Stables), terraforming it from bare rock to lush green. (Source: Star Stable: Story of Jorvik video on YT.) Fripp's been referenced as a 'cosmic being' on several occasions, and the writing on the inside of the ship is the same as the inscriptions on various runestones. I'm postulating that he and Aideen knew each other (potentially before either of them landed on Jorvik). On top of that, over in Guardian's Dale, it's said that the Dale used to be a permanent portal to Pandoria before the Fifth statue was destroyed. It happens to be *very* close to the ocean. Lore puts Garnok as being from the ocean. My theory is that Fripp and Aideen drove Garnok into the Dale, through the portal, Fripp destroyed the Fifth statue to lock him in...and *that's* what got him banned from Pandoria.

[@bluekryztal]

Also, that cave on Dino Valley blocked off by ice shards, that one that has a really strange glowing thing inside. I don't rememeber if we ever got an explanation of what that is, but it makes me think if it isn't directly connected to the tunnels, with a portal attached. Idk if that glowing sphere is supposed to be some kind of energy or a portal, but it probably has something to do with all this.

[@DogDogGodFog]

I'm pretty sure the Valedale waterall turned yellow/green, though

This is the best theory so far, even what Ydris said to us when we where trying to get Concorde now makes sense, “it seems like they are drilling jorvik inside out”. When Steve said that I just knew it was connected with what ydris said about the worlds and that’s the whole reason that pandoria is in “danger” and so is ours

[@cranma0125]

I simply think it's nothing at this point. It's been there since before Northena made her video about the fridge doors, and as we all know, SSO has changed the storyline and characters countless of times since. In all honesty, I don't think even SSO knows. I think there once was a purpose. My idea is that they're aware of this, and that they know they can't take these fridge doors and yeet them out the window durring all of these updates to the game, cause they know this is a topic in the community that is discussed and returned to several times in the past many years. Like with Devil's Gap, they only started mentioning it a few years back in random quests, like they realized they need to adress these og SSO things otherwise it would create too big of a gap in the storyline. If I remember correctly, Linda mentioned the doors in some of the recent quests. That is the first ever mention of the fridge doors ever in game, and it just tells me that there just hasn't been any work done with them before now. Or maybe I'm (hopefully) wrong! It's not my intention to be all "negative" I'm honestly just trying to think realisticly about it. SSO has slacked off on the storyline too much for me to think there's a deeper meaning to this. However I will be so so happy if I'm proven wrong!

[@kallyywallyy]

i actually think that the fridge doors are more important than we (or some of us) think. i think it actually has smth to do with garnoks resurrection and that's why it has been pushed so far over the years! they aren't ready to let the game end yet. i hope i could bring at least some hope back! :)

[@meh4019]

!new story quest spoiler! I think the same too. Devil's gap was supposed to be one of the game's most badass and darkest segments (I mean just look at its name). Then they made it plain and simple, nothing spooky about it, just the Vala witch. Which makes me think that SSO has no idea what these OGs like Devil's gap, Ashland, and the fridge doors were intented to be, and they're just making stuff up to hide that from the community. I hope I'm wrong tho

[@DogDogGodFog]

Maybe it's meant to be a super duper secret thing, just like Gaster in Undertale.

[@redfyresasoiaf]

I think this theory is probably what the canon would've been but, sadly, with SSO getting new owners and said owners rewriting/altering/omitting so much lore nowadays, I don't personally think we'll ever get confirmation. I think the original owners/creators set the perfect groundwork (and this is definitely still my headcanon, lol) but only time will tell if the current team will even touch on this as we approach Garnok's resurrection...how long as it been already? Like 8 years?

[@belanair8286]

I was doing a quest in Jorvik City Mall (It's part of the quests where we help Marley get the painting of his dad) and some guy in the coffee shop mentioned something about mysterious hatch doors around Jorvik.

Great theories by you and Anna! Allow me to add to them. When SSO started in 2011, there was a comprehensive, detailed, elaborate plan all mapped out concerning Pandoria, Garnok, and the fridge doors. Once the new owners took over, they found the nearest dumpster to toss these plans into, poured gasoline on it, set it afire -- and now we will get a quickly made explanation and conclusion that has nothing to do with the original lore. Sorry to be so negative, but after playing for 8 years, this is what I have come to expect lately. (Enjoy your theories immensely!)

theory: what if buck IS garnok? this could very well be incorrect, as we dont have much proof on garnok or buck, but we have some. 1. buck is always hanging with the dark riders, you know, they ones who worship garnok 2. in starshine legacy (i think) there is an image of buck fighting the soul riders with tentacle legs. he is holding his hockey stick above his head. also, there is an image of garnok. he seems to also have tentacles. garnok's "arms" are also above his head. idk. its just a little theory but i would love if you looked into it :)

In the bday quests where you your Jorvik(the one in firgrove by the mines) it said “the silverglade mine was in operation for generations.

[@KorraHDAMV]

We might open devils gap because of this! Could be possible we have to open the area cause its alrdy in our current storyline + it could all of a sudden "radiate pandoric energy"

[@IceQueenZoey]

Actually, this theory goes on and splits into two. Either Dark Core doesn't know where Garnok is, or they do, and are trying to hide it until they know how to release him. Lets explore the first one: Garnok was said to have crashed in the ocean, but that was a really long time ago. After the ice Age the land rose after being pushed down by the ice. Garnoks prison would not be on the ocean floor anymore, but under ground. The reason Garnok is not released yet, is because they don't know where he is, and maybe also don't know how. Second one: Dark Core knows where Garnok is, but doesn't know or doesn't have the resources to. Drilling in the ocean is just a facade to make sure the Soul Riders does not know about it and try to stop them. In any case, they either don't know the location, means or resources to release Garnok, alternatively, the time isn't "right", otherwise he would be free already.

[@angelrose_]

I like to think that they’re somewhat doing what happened in Stranger Things. The Russians were trying to get into the Upside Down and I maybe they’re trying to get into Pandoria to free Garnok like how the Russians wanted to free demogorgans for the war? Idk just a thought.

Yes, and the tunnels will be from one point to another, through the inside of the star. Thinking about this, I just realized that the Moorland GED site is the first GED site chronologically (or so it would seem). My thought is that they began digging at the Moorland site, went through Fort Pinta, and from there went towards the NorthLink site. That is the first part of the star configuration complete.

[@annn_07x]

a point that hasnt been mentioned; this was a long time ago and im not completely sure where this is coming from but i know that many people have stated that there is a theory going around about a girl being trapped in these fridge doors. if that theory is right (im not sure if there has been talked about this in the game), then this whole tunnel theory makes even more sense! a girl trapped under the fridge doors, trapped in tunnels and is being seen through the fridge doors because maybe she thinks that those doors are her only way of escape from being trapped or wanting to escape from whatever is in or under these tunnels. that makes complete sense with this theory

[@Yeyeyayayoyo]

Not to mention the cave in jor jarl has a star shaped symbol on the end of the door wich is another door leading further underground. (In my opinion The working table there and the stars we are quested to find could have a connection) BONUS: the floating fridge nick stoneground is holding is said to hold energy from pandoria or is itself a door to pandoria (maybe is pandoria itself)

[@v_doll]

This might be the longest it's ever taken me to connect two dots, but I've been rewatching old Starshine Legacy play throughs and when Anne finds the ancient inscriptions on her way to Pandoria, we find out guardians from the past were transporting Garnok on a spaceship but ended up crashing on Earth. And where's the one and only UFO crash site in Jorvik? 😐 Am I tripping or does this actually make sense? What if however long ago there was a lake where Everwind Fields are today, or even if Garnok somehow managed to get itself out of the spaceship and buried underground? If that were the case, the theory is true and the centre of the fridge door star is LITERALLY where everything's going to go down.

[@peterthedinosaur]

Just thinking out loud here During the story snacks Mrs Holsworth talked about something called a Weald Weave which is a network of life warden roots in the forgotten fields.

I have multiple MCs in my own lore and oh my god this is the exact puzzle piece I needed. one is the fifth soul rider, and the other, her couson who followed her to Jorvik and they are essentially sisters, has no idea about any of it. however. SHE is the one who is the reincarnation of Aideen. SHE ALSO HAS A ROMANCE SUBPLOT WITH SABINE,,, I knew I wanted to have something with Sabine snatching her away for Dark Core, and that's when it happens, but I didn't know WHY aside from "well she's Aideen". I also played around with the idea of her joining the dark riders, completely unaware of what exactly she has done because the soul rider cousin she followed to the island kept her in the dark.

my theory is that ged and/or darkcore is trying to drill to the middle of the said star. maybe to unleash pandoria? i dont know but it would make sense because of the clues we got from steve and connie. i think ged and darkcore are trying to take over jorvik and the star riders by using garnok and i think if this is true and there is a quest for it i think that we would have to find a way to get aideen to help us, yk? i think once they drill to the middle of the star then the cracks from that one quest will turn into the shape of a star and be lot worse than the invasion in silverglade sorry if this didnt make sense im rlly tired 😭❤️

In the latest story quest Anne and Alex have been taken and I think they have been taken to the underground tunnels of GED mr kembell is very greedy for money and I think he wants the pandoric crystals to sell and make money so he is getting his GED members to dig to Pandoria we get new story quests tomorrow tho so we will find out 🤷‍♀️

[@ms.horselover2569]

I hope you might start making more SSO vids, I missed them and I feel they are doing better!

[@kh4tya]

I’m a bit late, but here’s my take on this. I don’t believe Pandoria is underground. The OG main quests were heavily based on Starshine Legacy and its lore. In ep. 3 (The Legend of Pandoria, which focuses on Anne), at level 4, when Anne first enters Pandoria through the portal at the Sacred Grove, we get a sneak peek: “Anne finds herself standing on thin air. A shimmering path leads up into the sky, […]” This suggests that Pandoria exists somewhere high up, perhaps in another dimension or suspended in the sky, rather than underground. Hence, I don’t think GED is tunneling into Pandoria. Indeed, Mr Sands is conducting a Dark Core project to unlock Garnok’s prison and summon him out of the ground (in ep. 4, Alex’s part, Fripp says: "Garnok is still trapped in the ship with his generals, but they (Dark Core) are doing everything they can to release him from his prison.") but there’s no mention of Sands or Dark Core attempting to get closer to Pandoria at all. Moreover, during the blizzards, when you had to look for people near Aideen's Whisper, you ended up inside a bunker in Epona with one of those fridge doors in the ceiling. So I'd assume all of them are just bunkers?

There are loads of things by Silverglade manor and Steves, like you said the UFO and other oil "drilling". Another thing is I was jumping, and randomly I was shot under the floor, It must have been a bug, my screen went black and told me I was not star rider and went to a star rider area, however I bought it 6+ years ago. And suprisingly, The soundtrack "Strange",(same by the fridge doors) started playing. I was at the barons racetrack, and thats close to the oil drilling and tunnels! I apeared up in northlink. This must mean something right? Why would the soundtrack play after I was shot under the ground? This all connects. any thoughts? - Sorry if my english isn't the best! Im not from UK

[@MJSolit]

The way SSO has been dumping the storyline and lore in the last few years i sadly highly doubt this theory will ever come into fruition. The doors will probably stay left unexplained or even be completely removed by SSO at some point

[@JayceeChandler-hj6fg]

If this is a story line quest then why hasn’t SOMEONE gone through it yet? And if this is something SSE hasn’t come out with yet, then when will they? Do they even know what they are going to do with it yet? Are they going to take our theories and make them come true? This is really interesting to me. I almost wonder if this was something SSE came up with in the beginning and just still aren’t sure what they are doing with it? And what if they had done this on purpose and figured that once the mystery is resolved the game is over? Like say this theory is correct, is this now the end of the game? Does Garnok destroy all of Jorvik? Is there no more star stable, or do we get reset back to the beginning? With the same old graphics maybe? And we just go through all of this again? Or differently?

[@scpblunt]

First? Also hello! Woah- I wasn’t expecting such a deeply game-rooted theory This is so cool to think about

[@I.Daisies]

This video made me miss the old sso

[@Johanna-rw6jg]

I feel like it’s a good theory and star stable had a purpose for the doors but will they really care about to continue with it? Probably not, maybe if you have to pay 1000 sc every time you pass the doors

[@Vampir1cc]

this theory is my roman empire

[@shannonlaffin6335]

That's a pretty good point I hope we could lock Garnok up forever I do have a question see when we unlock Devil's Gap do you think we'll have a new threat or are we going to have a new ally what do you think? I'm totally confused what Star Stable has in store for us in 2023

[@PHANPAN-f4l]

Miss Holdsworth mentioned the fridge doors in one history bit receltly but i didn’t lead to anything.

[@bethanyandersen2925]

I found out that the top of the star is exactly where the soul rider portal meet up place is on the map.

[@star_cattyy]

why again do we want to save jorvik exactly?

[@ReinEquestrian]

Does anyone remember the quest where we had to go into one of the fridge doors and it was like an underground and there were two people and one of them was a zombie and we had to cure him? We got to go *inside* the fridge door. So we know what it is on the inside

[@rebeccahawkgate5663]

Does that quest was in east epona??

[@ReinEquestrian]

Yes!

[@Tulackyvrch]

Super fridge door theory from Anna and super theory video from you. I hope later it will be reality and not just theory. Because it makes sense for Pandoria to be underground. And yeeesss, I want dark ritual and meet Garnok! :-D I just hope we will live long enough until they finally make quest with that. :-D And I think in underground are many tunnels. On winter festival not so far from Aideen's Whisper and castle in Goldenhills in some forest I had to save somebody trapped in snow. I don't know who, sadly I don't remember all details. But I guess some random npc. They were trapped in weird shed (that is part of Halloween trail ride too, ghost I-want-go-on-wc stands before it). When I entered shed I was in bunker. And I think on ceiling was fridge door. Some people was like - it is 5th door! But no, it would not make no sense. So if I can take festival joke more seriously... It could lead to secret tunnel into castle. Or it could somehow connect to above ground Goldenhills fridge door.

[@DogDogGodFog]

Wait what? Does anyone have a video of entering that shed?

[@Tulackyvrch]

@@DogDogGodFog It was on winter festival that we had sometimes rescued people trapped in buildings because of blizzard. We entered even houses which we normally can't. And one of them was that shed. I think it was some joke from team with that fridge doors in bunker. Sso team knows that we do theories about doors. But yes, I saw them in bunker, but I don't have video. But that shed was always weird at least for me. :-D

[@DogDogGodFog]

@@Tulackyvrch For some reason I have a really hard time finding any videos of the 2022 winter event in the first place... ugh...

[@Tulackyvrch]

@@DogDogGodFog Yes, when I to try find it there are not many videos... A I don't see any with shed. :-/

[@Lyxira]

is garnok held under the ground somewhere where they could be feeding him oil or something?

[@mmd2673]

Pandoria is hell for jorvik😂

[@nallalps9749]

You should make a video about playing alicia!

[@caciliawilhelm245]

THIS JUST EXPLAINED SO MUCH AHH

[@Meoww792]

What if the meteorite that hit jorvik hold the pandorian energy? Just think about it. It could hit the ground and leave the energy there. Then Aideen proceed to spread "light" and bring everything back to life, covering the areas that were lifeless. But under the covers of jorvik, pandorian energy is still there. This actually makes sense!! It is clearly stated that pandorian energy is in the ground, sometimes opening across the island. But why Jorvik? Why is it there? This would be the answer.

[@enfysneko]

I personally believe the meteorite adds well into this theory too. Nic talks about it hitting the area a long only a few thousand years ago and causing the area to freeze over. I personally believe the "meteor" wasn't a meteor at all and was in fact Garnok himself, hitting earth. In terms of the dinosaur skeleton only being a few thousand years old according to Nic's research, I believe the dinosaur was merely one of the last remaining ones alive and just unfortunately happened to end up right in the firing line (its already widely accepted even in real life that the last remaining dinosaurs that couldve avoided the larger theorised asteroid would've been aquatic ones). This also lines up with the lore that Garnoks ship also only crash landed a few thousand years ago. There's also the lore that the meteor caused the rest of Jorviks land mass to rise up from the seabed, essentially creating Garnoks current prison above himself. This would be the point in which Aideen makes an entrance, touching the land with light and bringing it to life - yet coincidentally the valley of the hidden dinosaur remains frozen and barren? I personally believe Aideen knew he was there all along, and used her light to better seal him away, as well as create the people and horses to aid in protecting the land from him in future, but wasn't quite strong enough to reverse the damage he had caused in the valley. This would also explain the need for the existence of the life warden trees, which she also created, and their ability to reach pandoria with their roots. There's also the fact that the volcano in the currently unfinished/possibly abandoned Ashland is named "Garnoks Fury", which is situated right next to the valley.

OMG A NEW THEORY

Wow! The queen posted! Yayy

[@haversam9799]

I want to update you. In the third book there is mentiond a book of dark rituals… pi has it.

[@adamkuczynski9433]

Didn't it say in the game that Pandoria is between earth and space?

[@eleanornightwalker]

It's hard to say... originally it was a different dimension only accessible through portals or literal outer space, but now there's a tree sitting on Jorvik that has roots to Pandoria, and cracks opening up in the ground 🤔 in the back of my mind I've always thought Pandoria is supposed to be the equivilant of Hell, which typically is empicted as an underworld, so it wouldn't surprise me if this was the case

[@warriormaiden9829]

@@eleanornightwalker See, I'm leaning towards the 'Pandoria is an alternate dimension'. My theories also include: Fripp knowing Aideen before either of them landed on Jorvik. Fripp being the one that broke the Fifth statue in Guardian's Dale after shoving Garnok through the portal (and that's what got him banned from Pandoria). (We also know that Fripp is the one that brought Garnok to Jorvik in the first place. The ship carrying Garnok landed in the ocean, and I'm pretty sure the UFO in the mountains behind the Baroness's Racetrack is the ship Fripp was on.) Portal keystones are only unstable and constantly moving because they haven't been set up properly (i.e. portals set up by Druids have to be closed or they destabilize), and the ones used by the Jarl (keystones made by Magnus Steinar to troop movements) are even more unstable due to working with partial information. Evergray was set up to fail. Catherine was 18 when she first met Thomas (the first diary page we get from her), and later in her diary she refers to Evergray and Avalon as *young* Druids (diary page 4). Speaking from experience, when you're that age, if you're the same age or the other person is slightly older, you don't refer to them as 'young'. Means both of them were younger than Catherine. Which means Evergray should not have been teaching her. From the time we 'meet' Catherine through her memories to the time she delivers Justin is around 4 years. Here's where it gets foggy. Evergray's Wiki page lists him as 51... but Elizabeth is listed as 47. Elizabeth and Catherine were about the same age. If we shift Evergray's age to be jut 3 years younger than Catherine (enough of a gap for her to call him young, but still old enough to be tutoring a Soul Rider in the field), that means that he was 15 when they met...and 19 when he was banished. Even if we keep their ages as given, he was still only 23 when he met Catherine (too old to be called a 'young man' by her), and 28 when he was banished. (I am using his canon 20 years in Pandoria and headcanoned 3 years exploring elsewhere for my calculations.) Each of the Primeval Trees has an individual name. Thus far, we have the Singing Yew (South Hoof), the Sleeping Widow (Forgotten Fields), and the Sentinel Pine (Wildwoods). I've added the Harrowing Hornbeam (Scarecrow Hill), Chiming Ash (Red String Trail), the Arctic Lindon (Dino Valley), and the Companion Oak (sapling in Forgotten Fields). Taking that further, the Chiming Ash, Arctic Lindon, and Sentinel Pine form a triangle. The Sleeping Widow, Companion Oak, and Harrowing Hornbeam form a triangle. If we follow that same shape with the Singing Yew, two spots pop up: the Twilight Temple...and the portal to Dino Valley. We know the Jarl had Primeval Trees harvested. It's entirely possible that there were Primeval Trees in those spots. Further evidence of at least the one next to the Marsh is the Portal. Above, I mention that Druid portals become more unstable the longer they're open (quote direct from Fripp, from when we're trying to rescue Anne). Yet that portal has been continuously open with no strain or explosions. You remember what's next to the Dino Valley side? The Arctic Lindon. My theory there is that the Primevals have been keeping it stabilized. Now, going back to the triangles... If we take all three of them and look at them on the map, they form a triangle themselves. It's been said that the Primevals created a network across the entire island, and were often used to send messages from one side to the other. I propose that Primevals are always found in threes, and that the entire island is covered in triangles of these trios. Existing trees: cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/864376887811899392/1078195554800119898/Primevals_1.png Full network following my theory: cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/445018602681139201/1104906007219548240/image.png And finally, that Gunnar Thrymson/Galloper Thompson was related to Jon Jarl. I'm using first cousin twice removed. He was 16 on the voyage over (they were on their way to quell an uprising over in Iceland), and was gifted the honor of naming the new land as part of his bravery when they were attacked at sea. He named it the first thing that popped into his mind: Jor Vik, or more literally, Horse Bay. This theory explains why it didn't wind up being called Jarlsland, at least. XD (Which then begs the question of 'What was it called before then?')
