Maeve really seems like the cloacked mage. Works alone, smaller build, powerful druid, is noble but seems to have some pretty ambitious and nefarious plans…
I feel like if she was a red herring she’d have probably been introduced after the culprit, but the only even slightly plausible guys introduced are the prince and Calder, of which neither can really be the culprit, so I’m placing my bet on her.
(I was rereading the Cole-Hamish moments and came across the debriefing scene again; when Cole said “They’re probably versed in the Wizardry class of magic…. Or maybe Druidcraft? No, Wizardry is more likely.” I was super sold on Maeve; the whole scene after reading her introduction feels like it doesn’t want to point at her too hard on a first read but also seem like small hints in hindsight upon a second read after you know it’s her)
Btw if it’s true and I actually got it the update she’s introduced I’m gonna give myself a tiny pat on the back :p
