I found Deepslate Coal Ore

That theory from Daily dose of cats yesterday gave me my own idea for a theory on why men aren't in the magic realm, or rather, why we find none in the places we can visit.
I will fork off of Ddoc's theory with the gendered segregation, however I think that instead of the men and women going to war, the men were all brought over to the Elves. We already saw that Elena is desperate to bring over any and all magic folk she can to the world of machinery, and from the little lore sprinkled throughout the games dialogue, you find out that basically all Elves are like that. And I believe that they began with the men of magic because they are way easier to bring over. What did they use for that? Idk maybe Elfkind invented Legos or something.
So what I'm saying is that the men aren't gone, and neither are they dead. They're just in the one place that was promised to them as eternal heaven which is the same place that has been entirely unaccessible to us.
But that's just a theory. A MAEVE THEORY! Thanks for reading.
Theoretically everyone in the Magic Realm should be calling themselves men, if we assume that there were never any males in that place.
Man once was very much a more gender neutral term, that's why it's found as part of "humanity", "mankind" or "man" in general (in context of 'it was man who was made in gods image')
At some point this word started to refer more towards the male humans which is why we also have the word 'woman' so we can differentiate.
Now given that there aren't any males in the Magic Realm to speak of, this differentiation should have never happened, so, like I said, Maeve and everyone else should theoretically refer to themselves as men.
-I may or may not have missed something during research but the general idea should be correct-
[Mild spoiler warning]
You see, your honor, it is because the tree had symbols of both sexes that a male and a female were necessary to open it. According to the previously established lore however, the symbol for the male sex should not have been present as no males exist in the Witches' Realm.
It is therefore my claim that this symbol appearing is a direct cause of Mr. Hughs and his partner coming from the Human Realm into the Witches' Realm.
I back this up with the introduction of Swear Words, used primarily by Ms. Agnes of the Witch Shop, shortly after the two humans had arrived, meaning that in the very least, the language of the Human Realm is spreading over to the Witches' Realm, still if most likely not intentionally.
You can therefore argue that the only reason why Ms. Williams was not able to enter the Trial Chambers by herself is a direct result of Mr. Hughs and Ms. Jade being sent to the Witches' Realm.
I rest my case.
