The Mystic Falls Codex

Two thousand years of one story, Silas to the Salvatore School.

Witches & Magic · Era VII, The Legacies

The Gods Return

2021–2022

With Malivore gone, the things it swallowed come back — and a pantheon that had slept through it in sarcophagi wakes up, Ken among them. Aurora de Martel arrives by a different route: Klaus entombed her in a wall, and Lucien let her out. The last season is the oldest characters in the franchise turning up at a high school.

Details

  • Aurora appearing in Legacies is the only direct tissue connecting era II to era VII in a single living body.
  • Ken is a god who slept through Malivore's reign in a sarcophagus rather than be eaten by it, and wakes when the pit dies to reclaim the world.
  • Cleo Sowande is a muse whose power is inspiration itself, and she is the season's most interesting new idea.
  • Aurora de Martel — turned by Rebekah in the 11th century — is the only character on screen who remembers the world before vampires existed.
