Fruma Theories (again But More Reasonable This Time)

GioPani · Oct 16, 2020

I sure hope Fruma has kind of the same theme Ba Sing Se has.
Having huge walls divide the classes (upper, middle and lower/poor). Outer ring being lower/poor class and having violent gangs and thugs. Middle class being friendly(ish). And upper class being neutral (meaning they will only attack if you attack them first).

I believe you mean the slides in Omashu, that's a different place in ATLA than Ba Sing Se. But it would definitely be cool! Ba Sing Se does have train network above the city or is that what you meant?

what do you mean? There isn't any wars inside!

And I guess we may have Calx/the soldier outside Elkurn/Edwin's family members as the NPCs.

Last time I made fruman theories it was pretty stupid. Now I think I have some more reasonable ones.

1: Fruman territory
This one is almost certain. This is the land that Fruma will take up.
View attachment 160754
Or maybe. I was thinking for an expansion they could have it continue west a bit and then trail along the wall until it reaches the edge of Gavel to make it more of a provincial landmass, but that's unlikely. I would love to see it that big though. Plus, If we count Corkus as part of Fruma, that makes it a whole lot bigger

2: Theme
Obviously the theme is going to be the Monarchy and how it is corrupt. That is almost 100% certain.

3: Entrance: I think you will actually enter from the imperial prison seen in Recover the Past. I think I saw a picture of the cart we entered Wynn in that is inside of the Imperial gate, so it seems plausible. Plus, the valley we entered from is very close by, so the prison may be attached to it.

4: Dimensional links?
Unlikely. The theme for one of the trailers for Gavel was that the Realm of Light was akin to the nether in Wynn, which is ironic seeing as both ''important'' areas are completely irrelevant to the players. I still want to see The Light Realm be revamped though. Anyway, Fruma will probably not share the dimensional link story but rather the story will be about the corrupted monarchy solely. Maybe a plot twist will appear where it turns out they are Dern worshippers or something, but I don't see that happening.

5: Important NPC speculations
Sohso: He was stated to be in Fruma so we will probably see him there, and get a quest from him. Since he sounds like he's the only sane brother, he will probably be normal. He may alter the ??? a little where some parts teleport you to his house in fruma (which, if so, is good evidence that fruma may start pre level 80)
Tasim: Aledar and Tasim are the 2 recruits who came with you to Wynn. Aledar is seen in 4 quests in total. King's recruit, A journey beyond, A journey further, and A Hunter's Calling. Tasim is only seen in King's Recruit and A Hunter's Calling. Pay close attention to their names. ''Aledar the betrayed, Tasim the resigned'' These are.. odd names to say the least. When is Aledar betrayed? It may be referring to the fact that you openly killed him when you could just as easily have gone over the wall without breaking the spell, or that he was betrayed at some point, possibly by Lucio and Elephaba. The name probably has something to do with the fact that he is sacrificed. As for Tasim, it says he is resigned. Did he resign from the army? Or did he accept something unpleasant that he cannot do anything about? Maybe that unpleasant thing is the dread he has from his Fruman past. I think there is a chance we will adventure into Fruma with him. Whether he survives or not is another question.
The Queen: She is mentioned in Recover the Past to be the one who is ordering the army to do their deeds, and will almost certainly appear in Fruma.

6: Dungeon
I think that if we get a dungeon in Fruma, it will be the Palace. The name could be something like: Grand Palace
(couldnt come up with a cool name but the final boss would either be the general or the queen)

7: Areas
Some of these ideas might surprise you.
Poor town (with a name this time): The town I am referring to is the one seen in Recover the Past. Not much is known about it other then the fact that the Queen must hate the people who live there
Swamplands: In the poor town we see a pretty swampy looking tree. Is this a hint towards the entrance to fruma being a swamp? I would be kinda disappointed if it was because Olux already exists
Bloomi Forest: Yes that's right. Bloomi. An old meme that people are actually beginning to believe will become an actual location. I think Morgor will NEVER come, but I imagine Bloomi being a nice, lush forest with giant plants that want to eat you. Would probably be on the southeast corner so that it connects to the Dernel Jungle. Maybe there would even be a fast travel into the province within Dernel. Edit: Months later I have realised that this is another stupid and unrealistic thing to think. Sorry about that.
Palace: Main location in the province, would probably have a town full of neutral mobs (guards)
Imperial prison: Talked about this earlier, would probably be just next to the Poor Town

8: Monsters
The main problem I see with Fruma is that the only true threat is the guards. There would probably not be a constant army of guards in the middle of some plains or something, so I looked towards something like what Gavel has. Monsters that fit in with the environment for example. I thought that the swamplands could have revived corpses of drowned guards or something, and the jungle could have carnivorous plants.

9: Release date
I think that if the CT begin on Fruma directly after 1.20 they will have it done around 2022-2025 ish. Maybe that's a little much for this area. I think 2022 is most likely but we shouldn't rush them. I also think they will probably do Fruma before Dern (completing the overworld should be more important than starting an entire new dimension)

Great theories, but for the last time, if you try to go over the wall before you let Aledar in, a sinister energy prevents you from doing so. Presumably, since you can vault the wall after the sacrifice, the sacrifice dispelled the energy. Oh, and if you go all the way to the side like in the video, that's just a CT oversight. You get pushed back anywhere else but there. The bug should be fixed sometime.
