I forgot to return to Insight Park - I'm a horrible detective.
Ack, I nearly missed that we could get our prophecy right now, too! Thank you for pointing that out.
It definitely feels as though they’re not leaving it up to chance that we cotton on to this dragonborn connection
I was also wondering whether we’d been somehow made to appear as a dragonborn, but then why would the Fist be chasing us with a picture of our (presumably real) face? Though I may be trying to take that prophecy too literally. Perhaps the picture just means that working on this case will lead to us being wanted by the watch. Or perhaps the shadow means that a dragonborn is following us. Or that the metaphorical shadow hanging over us due to the Master’s threat is somehow linked to a dragonborn.
Oh, oh, oh, and - sorry, off on another tangent - I’ve just remembered the earlier chat in this thread where we mentioned Jopalin’s teahouse. That sounds like a place that might “offer an assortment of blends catering to varying palates” as mentioned by the Butler. New wild theory: we’re going to end up there. And of course Ethel’s Lair is also called a Teahouse in EA so BeeBee’s hag theory might tie in too! Though admittedly from its FR wiki page Jopalin’s doesn’t sound particularly promising as the hideout of a “vulgar fiend”! Though from the city map Lunar Dante shared, it is close to both Drusilla’s boat and Canary Lane where we first encountered Top Hat.
Gah, and I was intending to vote and post here what I’d decided, but think I’m going to sleep on it. I’m tempted to follow up on Magpie as our most direct link to Fel, but also suspect that this case might reward windier paths. I’ll see what I think in the morning!
"You may call it 'nonsense' if you like, but I've heard nonsense, compared with which that would be as sensible as a dictionary!"
