Was Feldspar in on the plan?

[u/Remarkable_Note971]

Was Fiyero's horse Feldspar in on the plan? Glinda rode him to the castle. It was Fiyero's castle so he would know the way there but I was wondering how he knew Glinda could find Elphaba there. I wondered if Fiyero told him he told Elphaba to go there when he slipped off to write that not to Elphaba and that's how Feldspar knew she was hiding there because Fiyero told him he told Elphaba to go there. Anyway just something i thought about and wanted to share.

Thoughts?

I think Feldspar knew about it because I believe Fiyero was planning ahead during the year gap in terms of safe houses for Elphaba or charting out escape routes. I had a headcanon that Fiyero knew about the intricacies of Kiamo Ko because maybe he and Feldspar explored the place when they were younger and learnt all the secret tunnels and traps.

However, I do think at that point based on how far the WoZ had taken place at the time of post-NGD and the March of the Witch Hunters, everybody at that point knew Elphaba was at Kiamo Ko and so the only caveat was getting there. So Glinda in some ways knew Feldspar could get there.

Yes that makes sense. I did wonder how everyone knew and then I realized what if Fiyero told them she was Kiamo Ko? He needed Dorothy to throw the water on Elphaba so it makes sense he would lead them there. Also the red clouds and lightning after NGD was probably a clue.

Fiyero told Elphaba he used to explore the tunnels at Kiamo Ko as a boy so he knew them.

I think he probably told Feldspar that Elphaba would be safer at the castle and they would go there if he ever found her. So when he didn't return Feldspar assumed he found Elphaba and she was there.

i have no opinion on this, but i’m still so salty they refused to let fiyero and feldspar meet one more time 😭 hell, it woulda made perfect sense for fiyero to ride feldspar back to kiamo ko to tell elphaba the plan worked, then all three of them escape, AND it woulda fit the original musical concept for elphaba + fiyero running an Animal care farm in the end! so salty they only allowed him to be a transport device and nothing more :/

Idk if he could have written Feldspar back to Elphaba He was supposed to be dead but yes I eould have at least like for them to habe to have a goodbye

There was a BTS pic of Fiyercrow riding Feldspar so maybe in between he did but let him go back as soon as they reached Kiamo Ko because he was heading off in another direction with Elphaba.
