The Avos Theory

Ok this is split into two different parts. Firstly, the part I totally believe to be true. Secondly, the bullsh*t part I had to throw in to tie up some loose ends. Let's go!

---

Intro: Who are the Avos?

So we know a little bit of something about the Avos. They are bird-people who lived on the island of Corkus before the separatists from Fruma (now known as the Corkians) came in.

The Avos looked with pity upon the separatists. They granted the new Corkians a bit of land to call their own, because reasons? The Avos are a shamanistic people, they would have not gained anything from the Corkians coming to the island. But they still let them in anyway.

Over the years the Corkians begun seizing more and more land from the Avos, making them more aggressive until they had nothing left but the mountain tops.

So, what's the theory?

Part 1: Hate for the Frumans

As some of you, @DirtyDogeEXE made this thread, which I advertise that you check out before reading any further.

At first glance, it seems very horrid. The Avos are locking up Corkians and brainwashing them, making them want to die. But then you think, the Avos are very ritualistic. They are taking the Corkians and brainwashing them to be willing victims in some sacrifice ritual. Right...?

Well, not exactly. We see the Avos deploy typical brainwashing tactics. Starve your victim. Talk to them. Make them understand you and your cause. Help them.

However in the other cell, we see someone who was not brainwashed who is viewing all this. And let's be honest, the Avos are very effective at brainwashing. But wait... These are just primitive bird-people. How the heck did they learn Brainwashing. And why have bigger things like Wynn Excavation not used this tactic?

Unless it's not our normal Brainwashing and it's some type of Magic brainwashing...

-

Keep that in the back of your mind for now. Let's also look at why they are sacrificing the Corkians.

They let the Corkians onto the island, they let them live here. So why do the Avos suddenly not like them?

Well, first we can argue that it's due to the Corkians treating the Avos badly. Taking land and not respecting the environment and whatnot. This seems like the most logical solution. And, well, Occam's Razor. I'm not going to argue with that.

What I AM going to argue is why the Avos did not do anything when the spreading first started. When the Corkians originally came to the island, why the Avos did not keep a closer watch on them.

And I have concluded that the Avos thought that they had something in common with the Corkians, one single thing in common that could bridge the cultures. They both hate Frumans.

-

Yes, that's my theory. The Avos hate the Frumans.

The Corkians left Fruma, not liking the monarchy. And thus the Avos thought they had simular views, both having been oppressed by the Frumans. The Avos let the Corkans use the island as a safe haven, having known the same evils themselves. Not until after the Corkians started to oppress the Avos did they see, all Humans are the same.

Further evidence of this comes from the Brainwashing. The Avos used to consider the Corkians intellectual equals, and they would not sacrifice them just was they would not sacrifice another Avos (Avo?). But this mark of Memory-Magic goes past just Corkus. What if Fruma's main protection, was also it's Curse?

I claim that the Avos are responsible for the Memory-Barrier around Fruma.

The Avos have at some point in their history, been wronged by the people of Fruma. They had to flee their home land and go to Corkus and the ocean borders. In all sense, they are as much refugees as the Corkians are. Except the Avos fought back.

They made the Memory-Barrier around Fruma. Post people think the barrier is a form of protection, stopping enemies from attacking. Any spies that infiltrate the province would loose all the info they learned upon leaving the province. And theres no way for anyone outside of Fruma to know anything about it, as even non-spies get their memories cleared if they get captured.

But what if this is no so? The Avos made the barrier to save others like them. The people of Fruma took over their homeland, so the Avos made it so that would never happen again. They created the Barrier so any plans created in Fruma would be lost as soon as armies left. Not being able to remember their orders as soon as they leave Fruma, the Frumans would never be able to destroy races like they did to the Avos.

Part 2: Abbsolute Bullsh*ttery

So this is the part where I start spitting out Bullsh*t because I need an explanation.

In order for what I have said to be true, where did the Avos originally come from? My only possible response is thus: Wynn.

-

Yes, I know it's far fetched, hence the title of this section. But look at some facts.

There is no recorded history of Wynn before the Humans came from Fruma. It's perfectly possible that Avos could have lived there alongside the Creepers.

And look at the geography. Seaside cliffs, Ravines, Giant mountain, Mesas, Jungles with tall trees, a Deep canyon. It's perfect for a bird, assuming they avoid the Desert. No cold areas (this would be before the Twain story started), no hot areas (except for desert as I stated).

I tried to look at other evidence. The Relics, Ancient Desert Structures, and Ancient Jungle Structures held no explanation.

Only possible connection is the tribal people in the jungle seem to have a lot of feather-stuffs going on.

---

But yeah! Those are my theories! One is legit, one is Bullcr*p to explain things.

Have fun commenting!

 

Uhhhh well its like you said.. your first part does seem to make sense and couuuuuulllld be a right.. and the second one well uh you know.. kinda far fetched bullshit :D

 

I'm just happy you agree with the first part!

 

Well the first part is good. But personally about the second one, i think they lived in Corkus, but some was captured by Fruma as slaves of some sort.

 

Could be possible.

My only problem with that is if Frumans have done anything with Corkus, why would the Separatists have gone there if they are trying to get away from Fruma?

 

I like this theory a lot

 

First part is perfect

Second is absolute bullish*t. I prefer that the Avos are from Corkus and that they see all humans as the same. But that leaves the question, what do they think of villagers and elves, maybe even dwarves.

 

I like the second part actually

 

So I have a really bad theory following yours:

So what I'm thinking is that a few years after the island of corkus was populated with humans, The Frumians found out about it and they got pretty scared because they didn't want them to somehow send a message to the Frumians telling about the truth.
So the queen sent a few soldiers that are not affected by the border to go there and somehow get them back,
While they came there they have found a few creatures that have also not liked the Corkians, the "Avos".
They have gotten the Avos who have disguised as the "Corkians's friends" to lead them into their prison.
Then the frumians have used their magic to brainwash the corkians to maybe either kill them or get them back to Fruma.
The Avos did not like the corkians because of the reasons stated above...

 

What if the Avos are abominations made by Adioro?

 

No evidence

So long story short, Avos work for Fruman queen?

 

The second theory makes no sense because I doubt Avos have anything in common with actual birds when it comes to land migration and travelling.

Also Avos have a special connection to their lands IIRC, so leaving their ancestral homeland for a foreign island seems like a bit of a stretch.

It makes more sense for Wynn to have been populated by Ancients from Dern than the Avos before the Humans arrived.

The first theory could be possible, it would be a similar situation to the European powers colonizing North America, fighting the Natives and a small group of the colonizers want independence, though they too end up killing the Natives.

 

I'm convinced the Avis are Native Americans and Corkians are just Andrew Jackson and his buddies

 

just a theory a wynn theory, thanks for watching

 

I mean if part 2 is true, when Fruma expanded to Wynn, that would be when the Avos would be forced to move and hold their resentment for the Frumans on Corkus. And so the Frumans would make their deadliest enemies in that conquest of Wynn. Then Fruman recruits who had their memories wiped would be used to exact the revenge of the Avos against Fruma. Quite the plan the Avos have crafted, huh?

 

Ariodo?

 

I think the Avos are from Fruma, and were there before even the Fruman Queen was. In fact, due to their looks (I mean, they seriously look like they're made of vines), they might have even been the first humanoid beings in the province. They could have originated from some mutated plant, then developed into what they are now.

 

You have some details messed up. They are bird people. Not plant people.

That picture I made a theory on was not an Avos

 

I recall some quest in the canyon between two tribes, one of which (if not both) were bird-like. Any relevance to your bullcr*p theory? Perhaps Avos and the canyon tribe(s) are related?

 

The two canyon tribes are human and have bird totems
At least you tried
