Wild speculation: Taliyah is a descendant of Xerath and Tabia

And it might be revealed/hinted in "Bloodline"

You heard it first here :3

Note: I'm aware that the judgements are no long canon.

That would be a really cool reveal. Azir's blood manifested in a cold blooded killer who values gold over her friends and Xerath's blood manifested in an extremely good hearted individual who values her family and friends above all else. I think it would be a really cool contrast and I wouldn't mind if this theory turned out to be correct.

I mean, it's called "Bloodline", I think this theory probably holds some weight. Even if they don't call Xerath's lover Tabia, I think him having a connection to Taliyah is very possible.

It would be cool, but not sure on Xerath x Tabia. It is not revealed until this time, why would they do it in Bloodline? But I agree on the part that is without Tabia.

If they continue to include Tabia, I wouldn't mind tho.

Plot Twist: in the new lore tabia is a captive of xerath's prisoners.

I honestly think that is unplausible - Xerath was a slave, he would have got no chances of breeding. And if he did, then there would have been consequences - because, again, he was a slave. He got influence somehow but only as Azir' s servant, and with the few things he could do i just think that is unplausible that he used the few resources at his disposal to find a woman, let her bear a child and then let her run away from the capital and beyond. If he managed to do so, it' s very well probable that said woman and child died aniway due to labor or abuse because, again, most probably they were slaves since i think it would be rather difficult to find a woman for him otherwise. Unless it was implied use of brute force or cohercion, but i doubt he would have gone such lenghts for that, plus he wasn' t so savage and evil and what he did was done with some kind of love and care, and when he started planning the ascension his mind was probably focused on other things to think about that.

Plus the whole thing about corrupting the ascension just tells me that Xerath did not give a damn about mortal desire and just wanted to ascend to something more, meaning that he had no connection whatsoever to the mortal world.
