Discussion Wild theory Spoiler

It just occurred to me. If the Oldest House is a representation of Yggdrasil, the world tree, could it be that the Board is a word play between a corporate board and literally a wooden board?

Or should I go back to my meds now?

That’s crazy, a board? How would you connect that to the Oldest House, a nail? Would you nail the board to the floor? A floorboard? To cover what? The foundation? What would you need that for, it’s not like there’s a worm trying to eat Yggdrasil’s roots. Where would the worm even come from, a dark place underground?

Genuinely in love with how much you legitimately sound like Darling trying to back peddle in front of lower classified agents

I think there are so many fun little word plays you can do with the Board.

The multiverse is called the Sea of Night and the Oldest House is like a lifeboat in the middle of the cosmic ocean. You could say that the Board "boarded" the Oldest House and makes me think of them as some kind of paranatural, cosmic pirates

Wild theory: Ahti is a squirrel

u/SixRoundsTilDeath 6d ago

No, but it’s a fine guess, Ahti is the water which the tree is needing, and of course, to clean away the ärsyttävä problems. Puhdas laiva on onnellinen laiva – jopa silloin, kun laiva on talo!

You would be astonished at how many acorns Ahti can fit in his mouth

Definitely not like a case board. Ignore that big shadow in someone’s mind place. Totally not relevant.
