Guinevere Theory Page

Welcome to the Guinevere Theory Page. This is a place where you can discuss confirmed, debunked, and unconfirmed theories from the Guinevere series.

Current & Unconfirmed Theories

 * Main Character's Vision: In Chapter 1, a vision of Camelot in flames comes to us multiple times. In Chapter 2, we seem to think that either Lancelot or Arthur/Artura would betray the other, but it's very likely that someone else is responsible for what may happen. This is strengthened with the appearance of a hooded figure in our vision in Chapter 8, who is most likely the Big Bad.
 * Visions: Given that we were able to change one of our visions of the future and save Arthur/Artura from being poisoned in Chapter 3, there is a theory that eventually we will also be able to change the vision regarding the destruction of Camelot and the fight between Arthur/Artura and Lancelot. Since we tell Lancelot and Arthur/Artura the truth about our visions at the end of Chapter 3, there is a high probability that they could help with changing the future. Since Morgana is told in Chapter 8 and Merlin is regardlessly told in Chapter 11, both characters might have important roles when the shadowed figure appears.
 * Caradoc: One of the following might be likely:
 * He is the shadowed figure: Since he went against Arthur/Artura in the past, he might do so again.
 * He will help the shadowed figure: His army might be part of the ones attacking Camelot in MC's vision.
 * He will fight the shadowed figure: He might lead his army against Camelot's attackers. A premium Chapter 11 scene seems to strengthen this.
 * Merlin: There is a theory that suggests that Merlin is the hooded figure in our vision in Chapter 8, and by extension, the Big Bad of the story. The reason players suspect Merlin, is because he has been very absent from the story so far, because he is a very strong-magic user, and because of the comet that coincides with Merlin's return to Camelot. We also had the choice whether to tell him about our visions or not, which could play a role later if he is indeed the villain and the mastermind behind everything.

Confirmed Theories

 * Setting: Due to the title, many players believe this series will take place in a reimagining of the Arthurian legend in and around Camelot. This was confirmed in the May Choices Insiders that "Guinevere features a female main character swept up in the Arthurian legend".
 * Mentioned in the blog: This is believed by some to be the untitled Knights book mentioned in the New Year blogpost. This is confirmed when one of the keywords for the book is "knight".
 * Love Interests: Our love interests might be gender customizable variations of Arthur and Lancelot. This theory is backed up through a Choices Insiders that mentions that there would be customizable love interests, and strengthened when the book cover seems to show one love interest of either gender on either side of cover's central character. Eventually this theory is confirmed by PB through their social media, stating that the love interests will be Arthur and Lancelot, and that they will both be gender customizable.
 * Playing as Guinevere: Given that this is a genderlocked female story, players suspect that we will most likely be playing as the titular character, making this book one of the few books where the MC has a set name, along with The Crown & The Flame and Most Wanted. The theory of playing as Guinevere is confirmed by PB through a sneak peek that features the main character, but we can rename her as we wish.
 * Love Triangle: Similar to Immortal Desires, Book 1 and the Arthurian legend, it is very possible that there will be a love triangle between us and the two love interests. This is strengthened with the release of the trailer for the book and Chapter 1's last scene, and eventually confirmed with Chapter 9, where Lancelot seems to have feelings for us regardless of our choices.

Debunked Theories

 * 17+: It is theorized that due to the setting of the story, some players think that it will be a Mature-tagged book. This is debunked when the mature tag did not appear.
 * Time-Travel: Based on the description of the book in the Insiders and based on the summary of the first two chapters, some players theorize that the main character will be a time-traveller from the present, similar to Distant Shores. This is debunked when PB released the trailer for the Book, which indicated that the main character is Princess Guinevere herself, who simply happens to have visions of the future.
 * General release: Given that the wide release for most books occurs two months after the VIP release, some players theorize that the book will be released for everyone in December. The October 2022 Choices Insiders newsletter debunked this when it is revealed the book will be released for everyone next year.
 * Morgana will be the Big Bad, or at least a major villain: Given that many adaptations of the Arthurian legend have Morgana be a villain, many players expect this to be the same for this adaptation. This is debunked when Morgana's backstory is revealed in Chapter 8, and when she tries to make amends by helping us figure out more about our visions.
 * Morgana and Merlin: Their pre-release introduction seems to indicate that they will either be on the same side, or that their allegiance will be determinant. It seems likely that the main character will need their help and that their response would depend on previous actions/comments toward them and/or toward other characters. This is debunked as Morgana decides to help us regardless of our choices.
