A BIG theory: Wolf vs. Hawk
This is the post I first had in mind when I started this blog. However, it took some leading up to. It requires explaining why I think the Death card from the Commonwealth Pairs deck is Cinder’s “sign.” (See the series of posts about Chandrian signs.)

So if we pare this down, it really leaves matching up the following as the logic problem: (more…)
Analysis of Signs Including Pairs Calamities
