![]() ![]() Last time I theorized that the Baron simply didn’t like being royalty. Maybe Rumpel went through a lot of trouble to kidnap the Baron with the hopes of gaining information and possibly working together to stop the Queen. The Baron could be resisting the Queen’s ways. The Red Queen clearly doesn’t care about the Baron, in fact seeing her as an obstacle. However, kidnapping the Baron could be something different. Rumpel is angry the Queen sealed him away, so he gives her family a taste of what happens when you take magical beings for personal gain. So why was Rumpel stealing happy endings, kidnapping a king, and possessing a sky pirate? For the first two, it could purely be for revenge. The royal family doesn’t seem to have any sort of magic, so the Red Queen could have trapped Rumpel on Fairytale Island not for the safety of Poptropica, but for personal gain. Perhaps Rumpel has some hidden power the Queen wants to use. In my previous Popspiracy, I guessed that the Queen trapped Rumpel because he was causing trouble, but could there be another reason? This leads to the next question… Why did the Queen trap Rumpel in the first place? Perhaps sealing away Rumpel was the key to the Queen’s conquest of the seven systems, but since we, the player and potentially the last of the Astro Knights, freed Rumpel, that may mess with the Queen’s plans. We also happened to be the ones who freed Rumpel in Fairytale Island. In Astro-Knights Island, after we gather the three “Astro Knights” (which back then were simply known as the Knights of Arturus) at the Crystal Gate, it’s revealed that the player is the fourth knight. However, there’s one key piece of info worth remembering. ![]() Maybe the Astro Knights are defending the seven systems from being conquered. The Red Queen believes that whoever freed Rumpelstiltskin is affiliated with the Astro Knights, suggesting that she has some problems with them. Now we move onto the fun stuff - the mention of everyone’s favorite lost island, Astro-Knights. While conquest can introduce new languages, tools, and culture, it can also destroy the old cultures of the area being conquered. The dark knights guarding the airship mention that the great Red Queen conquered the seven systems, but what even are they? From the Queen’s own words, they seem to be planets in outer space.īut why is there a resistance in the first place? Maybe the seven planets didn’t want to be conquered by the Queen. The Seven Systems, the Resistance, and Astro Knights? Reminder: This is all guesswork gathered from what we know - it’s not canon to Poptropica (yet?). However, Red October and the reveal of the Red Queen brought new lore with even more questions, so here we are. Heart here! Now when I wrote my Popspiracy on the Baron’s backstory, I wasn’t planning on doing a part two to the theory.
