So I've been watching just about everyone's perspective save for Katherine and Scott (both of which I'll be binge watching at the end of the series because I can't keep up with everyone heh) and it seems as though the lore is picking up pretty quickly this season. In light of that, I had some ideas for theories and future lore I'd like to share! And I wanna hear what others are thinking too!

• The Empires S2 world is the same universe as the first season. Sausage said that this season takes place a thousand years after the first season, so it would be possible for things to overgrow and decay over that time. Besides that, the universe is infinite, so it's not impossible for the different seasons to be in the same universe.

• C!Sausage is the same Sausage as the first season. I don't have much evidence for this one, but in the finale on his episode, Sausage said he'd "fix this". Which leads me to my next theory.

• The Empires universe is a huge never-ending circle. The people wake up with no memory of their homes, or they arrive from wherever they're from with little to no long-term memory, and then they build empires, make alliances, etc etc until some kind of big bad makes itself known, and the empires have to stop it. They try to stop it without knowing the one thing they need to succeed, so they fail and everything collapses. Then, in another 1000 years, new people come. Sausage is the only one who can end the cycle.

• The Empires all have some sort of connection with their predecessors - perhaps in efforts to end the cycle. Sausage had a blood sheep in one of his episodes that he later dyed blue, Gem's banner looks like the Wither Rose Alliance banner recoloured, False's build looks like something from Crystal Cliffs. Little things to help them remember and find out how to do what they have to.

• The dragon and egg are gone because of the first season - Gem took the egg with her when Xornoth was released, and hatched the baby dragon when the end was happening. She took the lil baby dragon, a few other dragons, and her brother and left. So it's not too far to say that the dragon is still out there, waiting for her Mom to come home.

What theories do you guys/gals/enby pals have?
