I'd really love to know more of the rules of the Agorath Order's magic, and how it works. I love mysteries, and I know it's early doors, we'll get it eventually, but I cannot WAIT to have enough information to start really piecing stuff together.

Okay so, The Agorath Order, clearly they've got some connection to the oddly permanent miscasts, since they could supposedly fix Iavin's. Though, I suppose Quentin could easily be lying about that. They also seem to be on some kind of deadline with Quentin's hand tattoo seeming to be growing, which seems ominous.

We know the Agorath Order's ritual magic is considered to be sort of stolen from runewriters. The way a runewriter works is that they write their runes on something that already has magic in it, somehow, and they have to discover their runes by trial and error. Maybe the ritual magic is that they can somehow copy and make use of the runes a runewriter has already perfected? Though, the problem with this idea is that we've not seen a runewriter do anything remotely resembling what the Agorath Order seem to be able to do. I don't know, anybody want to add their two pence? What's your theories?

(I'm obviously not gonna weigh in on theories but I just wanna say that I'm excited to see people paying attention to the Order as well, and I'm very much looking forward to us seeing more of them....!)

I remember Iavin said "Unaltered rituals are used by priests and runewriters," so despite the Agoroth order using rituals, it has to also be integrated into the broader magic system.
