Current & Unconfirmed Theories

 * Adoptable Pet: It is believed the MC will have the option to adopt a supernatural creature as a pet. This gains more traction with the December 2019 newsletter, which shows a sneak peek of Threep, a cat with bat wings.

 * Skills: It is believed the MC can choose skills like magic, archery, sword fighting, diplomacy and etc. This was confirmed in a sneak peak shown on January 9th, 2020, which features skill sets.
 * The Shadow Court will be the Big Bads: Given that the blog post teasing this series mentioned that our MC will be fighting against the forces of the Shadow Court, it is believed that they will serve as this series' main antagonists.
