Crazy yet somewhat plausible theories... Thread

[RobinMalvin]

Yda doesn't have to be daughter of the king to be royalty. Historically, kings have had extended families, and those extended families have had a lot of political power and often were included in the line of succession to the throne. It's hardly out of the question to imagine that Yda's dad could have been the king's brother, for example, and ALSO a prominent member of the insurgency. The king was pretty much living full-time in crazytown by that point, after all, and even a close sibling might have to make the hard decision to put his brother down for the good of the realm. (And if not close? Hey, bumping the bastard off is a great way to get his own butt onto the throne while becoming a hero to the people, to boot!)

During his reign, the Mad King in his paranoia imprisoned and executed all members of royal bloodline. The only known survivor is Widargelt, who was smuggled to The Fist of Rhalgr.

Makes you wonder if the King disbanded the monks to try to kill Widargelt

While lore book is not absolute, the information we're given is that Widargelt is the last one with royal blood left.
