I think the Gather or Collector will be next because they refer to the villagers as sharing their crops with Florin. This could also be based on the fact that the Sleeper, the Dreamer, and the First to Rise follow a pattern of someone sleeping and then waking up. A logical sequence for the next three would be to Farm, then to Gather (or Collect but I think the collecting refers to money). HoweverI'm not sure who would come next, possibly the Collector (collecting taxes on produce) or somebody else. I imagine that King Altador will be the last constellation found.
I sort of have to agree about the Gatherer being next. And you are right about the Collector being more money-oriented.
Unfortunately, the "patterns" don't hold entirely true because if that was the case, who does the Wave match? It's easy enough to draw connections between Jerdana and Torokar (Protection v Gladiator), Gordos and Kelland (Collector v Thief)... and even, at a stretch to add Sasha to the end of the Florin/Fauna chain (the Dancer to mark the festivities after a harvest, etc.)
I just really can't see what pattern Marak fits into. Or really, for that matter, Altador.
My roommate and I were actually just discussing this, LOL. The only thing that I can think of is that maybe there's a drought, and Marak brings water to the crops? Or freshwater, at least, since the city is surrounded by an ocean... or maybe he teaches them about irrigation? *is stretching for plausible conclusions*
Sad, isn't it, that this is what my roommate and I discuss...
