I too have thought about that  possibility with King or him being a human child turned fairy. Although, I don't really like it, both because I don't think it makes sense for his character (or Elaine's) and because I don't like the idea of people in the setting being able to turn from one race to another. I've gotten into two long conversations about that relating to Merlin which never went anywhere, because, frankly, the other person wouldn't listen to reason.

As far as Merlin goes I'm banking on her being a goddess, just becaus it seems like he wants to have all the five race represented. Obviously there's basically nothing directly supporting that so it could easily be wrong but I feel it could work. Plus with that hint we got to her age recently, I'd take it as a bit more likely now.

just a caveat, but you basically said that you think Escanor is going to be stronger in actual power. And that's fine but you could probably just say that. I'd give Escanor strength, but I'm not sure about magic. But we'll seee.
