* Sausage comes from another kingdom whose people were culled by their own king for their magic.
* Sanctuary's magic is intimately connected with the land.
* Sausage has visions of the past as well as of other worlds. People usually see him go mentally absent during these visions, but one time he vanished entirely.
* When Sausage finds the Madre de Girasoles shrine deep in the Capital Catacombs, it triggers a vision of Farmer Pearl. He revives the deity's worship, reforming it under the name Santa Perla because "it just feels right."

* The ancient magic of gnomes is still practiced by some.
* Shelby the Witch was able to borrow a chunk from a parallel universe. Someone has been screwing with her ever since.

* Shelby has heard of the Gnomes but knows that they have gone extinct long ago.
* The Gnomeland was ruined and decayed by Xornoth, and it became lost until Shelby found it at the center of the Evermoore.
	+ In season 1, many viewers were led to believe the Gnomeland was another dimension or plane of existence accessed via the Nether. Finding the Gnomeland in the Evermoore proved this wrong.
	+ The Evermoore fog is full of the spirits of the lost gnomes. Some of them are angry spirits and are probably the cause of people going missing in the fog. Shelby starts expanding her land from a homestead into a village, with plans to build sprites and infuse them with the gnome spirits.
* Shelby was gradually corrupted by the skulk, and it spread to Sausage after she sneezed on him.
* After deciding to go full villain, Shelby sought help from her evil friend Sausage Supreme about how not to feel bad about doing evil things. Sausage had her dip into the sculk pit under his dark tower, and he instructed her to place a sculk catalyst at the center of the Evermoore and sacrifice someone. After sacrificing Oli the Bard, she transformed. Her eyes went dark and she supposedly stopped caring about doing evil things, but she did retain her delightful personality.
