I haven’t made a crackpot theory in forever so

I was trying to think of names that started with Oz- or Os- for Ozpin’s predecessors, since that seems to be the theme, and I wanted a name I could use for the King of Vale from the WoR this week (who is the most obvious Ozpin-line member to ever exist)

And I thought of the word Ozark, as in the Ozark Mountains/Plateau in the central/southern US, and I know that both Ozpin and Salem are (to a degree) named after places already

So I looked it up on Wikipedia, and it turns out that it’s split into subdivisions, including one called the Salem Plateau

Which made me think maybe I’m on to something here, speaking crackpottily

So then I looked at the etymology of Ozark(s), and learned that it might be a corruption of the French phrase meaning “of the arches,” aux arcs

aux arcs

Ozark

Oz Arc

Jaune Arc is the great-great-grandson of the King of Vale confirmed
