Her distance from the story has pep up theorizer to suggesther absence and mysterious demeanour will reveal her as a traitor to the Inner Circleduringthe nextCourt of Thorns and Rosesbook .

The Theory That Mor Will Betray The Inner Circle In ACOTAR Explained
If Someone Will Betray The Inner Circle, Why Not Mor?
The theory that a penis of the Night Court ’s Inner Circle will betray the group is not young . After make together for hundred , it ’s not incredible that a character could eventually be contribute astray . However , sinceACOSF , theserumors have been spreading fasterdue to one very specific quote from the human queen Briallyn . The quote intimate the Night Court has a traitor in their thick :
“ There are many in the world who would happily see the Night Court crepuscle . Who would betray their so - called High Lord for a chance at big businessman . ”
Likely because she has been shroud by mystery and unanswered doubt for a bulk of the series , this theory point to Mor cheat the Night Court in the nextACOTARbook . Mor ’s “ Power of Truth " inA Court of Thorns and Rosesadds fuel to this fervidness because it ’s unexplained , and she is not especially have a go at it for satinpod ( she lie legion times and keeps mystery ) . At the same time , she also is n’t particularly adept at recognizing when she ’s being lie to . Without being bound to the verity , Mor ’s business leader seems to have more to do with deception than honestyand could be more manipulative in nature than originally recall .
Plenty of theories have whirlpool about Mor ’s true powers in A Court of Thorns & Roses , let in that she ’s a banchee , but the real resolution is obvious .
The want of info about Mor ’s abilities must be a purposeful choice by Maas , who is known for leaving only breadcrumbs of information when she ’s building to a bigger reveal . Easter eggs from Maas further plant the thought that Mor is n’t a trusty beginning asEris and Jurian both suggest that Mor is withholding the true statement about her backstory . There ’s not enough info provide about Mor to make her of mistrust yet . Everything known about her was relay from Feyre ( a prove treacherous narrator ) . Without her powers or at times her whereabouts being accounted for , Mor is a prime target of suspiciousness .
Mor’s Absence For Most Of A Court Of Silver Flames Makes This Theory Possible
Without Eyes On Morrigan, It Is Unclear What She Has Been Up To
A Court of Silver Flamesis full of chaos and looming implication of a great warfare with Koschei . At the same meter , this is the first full - length book in theACOTARseries that was told with third - somebody narration instead of Feyre Archeron ’s P.O.V.These elements ofACOSFserve as a beguilement from Mor ’s extended absence seizure . take to be off in Prythian take shape alliance and measure scourge to the Night Court , the Inner Circle is go away to blindly trust Mor about her actions abroad . To make matter worse , Mor shows up with small to show for her time away .
Members of the Inner Circle that had a laborious intimacy inACOSF(such as Cassian and Azriel ) are less suspect of treachery because the betting odds of them successfully sneaking around right under Rhysand ’s nose are low-pitched . Adversely , if Rhysand was as distracted as he appeared when essay to save Feyre from her life - threaten pregnancy , he would n’t have had the fourth dimension to cut across Mor and hold her accountable . While Mor claims she was doing emissary work , she in reality could have been doing anything .
It ’s potential that Mor is fuel by resentment about Rhysand ’s leniency towards the harmful practice of this subsection of his court of justice and will make a strategical move that set the Inner Circle at risk , even accidentally .

critic of this possibility may propose that , because Mor is such a likeable theatrical role , it makes no sensory faculty for her to wander the Night Court out of nowhere . But a skinny analysis of Mor ’s character provides a cue why this might not be reliable . The Night Court has been very sympathetic to the archaic and fearsome drill of the Court of Nightmares , which happens to be Mor ’s home and the root of her harm . It ’s possible that Mor is fueled by resentment about Rhysand ’s leniency toward the harmful practices of this subsection of his tribunal and will make a strategic move that puts the Inner Circle at risk , even accidentally .
Mor Turning Out To Be A Traitor In A Court Of Thorns & Roses' Next Book Would Be Devastating
Does Morrigan Really Deserve A Villain Arc?
Mor ’s heroic first appearance inA Court of Mist and Fury , rescuing Feyre from the Spring Court , solidified her as one of the most endearing and loyal characters Maas has create . She also has over 500 twelvemonth of history with her cousin Rhysand and the Inner Circle , living with them in the Night Court since she was eighteen . Destroying a darling character with a plotline as devastating as this betrayalwould completely undermine the importance of her relationships and growth . The Night Court would in effect mislay her as third in command and an ally , modify the time to come of the books forever .
If Mor were to have a heel turn and become a scoundrel , it would fall into a variation of the " eat up your gay " trope , a harmful image that has plagued LGBTQ+ characters in fable for decades .
Another reason it would be so devastating to turn a loss Mor as a trusted quality is that she ’s the only LGBTQ+ primary role inACOTAR.Maas ' account often miss diversity , specially when it comes to love affair or sexual orientation . destroy Mor ’s character arc and cutting her story of self - acceptance short is not a great choice as it limits the inclusivity of these al-Qur’an . If Mor betrays the group , Maas will be villainizing the only character without a cis - straight love story , which would destroy her luck to find love at all ( and our prospect to read a dissimilar sort of love story ) .

What Mor’s Betrayal Of The Inner Circle Would Mean For A Court Of Thorns & Roses
This Upset Would Change The Entire Plot Of Any Future ACOTAR Books
It ’s vital to remember that Mor have lots of sensitive info about the Night Court as she is third in command behind Rhysand and Amren . There aremany possibility of what could go wrongly in the future of the series if Mor become on the Inner Circle , mainly due to the current United States Department of State of warfare at this item in theA Court of Thorns and Rosestimeline . Mor ’s loyalty to her court would affect the entire outcome of the war in Prythian because she has the power to destroy the Night Court from within , like Feyre did to the Spring Court .
or else of Mor continue to be the supportive , reliable , and brave character we have grown to love inA Court of Thorns and Roses , writing a villain arc into her tale would eliminate any potential opportunities of her getting the fully - developed , robust storyline she deserves . Instead of seeing her fall in sexual love or even con the salutary way to employ powers against enemies , a villain spark would make Mor a more two - dimensional fiber . Her backstory has not been explored enough , meaning it ’s plainly too early to veer it short and make her an antagonist for shock value .
