Marius Renathyr Backstory-ish Spoilers

Marius Renathyr Backstory-ish Spoilers

If you are a fan of the guy be warned sad headcanony incoming

if you aren't caught up with all of Edge of Midnight, i would come back and read mayhaps

imagine that after Edge of Midnight occurs or maybe even during depending on how the story goes, Marius gets the chance to go home. He returns to find a gravestone. Carved into it is a single rose and underneath are the words;

Sir Marius Renathyr best friend and noble knight

Marius knows in a heartbeat that his king did this. That he had this grave created. Marius' closest friend had given up the hope that he would live. The king must've thought Marius had died on his quest. That Marius had put his life into trying to save the king as he promised he would.

Marius’ quest proved unfruitful in the end. He returned home to a castle with an empty throne. Marius returned home to his friend who lay six feet under believing that he had been gone for years. All he had to prove for it was an empty cup and the curse of fangs and bloodlust. Marius couldn't save his king. He failed the one quest he promised he would fulfill and he lost what felt like everything along the way.

being fixated on legends of avantris means that every time i contemplate whether or not i actually like fritos i am reminded that i have never had a legitimate frito pie so i don't know what the fuck i'm talking about

The Greatest Love Song Of All Time

Ep 30 - 2:37:00

IDC about canon gorebek and torbek are so system i dont care i dont care

I know I haven't posted about LOA in a few months but God. Kremy and Gideon are literally married. Let's all just appreciate that for a second.

Lethica Nightborne as a character is driving me insane.

She’s a Priestess of Shar, her deadly sin is Pride, she was a recruiter for her sect, her face is always covered in a white porcelain mask with no notable features, she spat on the floor when Selunê was mentioned, she’s deals cutting insults with little repentance, she willing gave up her memories to her God

but she asks Jericho to sing for them when they’re travelling, she called dibs on the bathroom that almost drowned them in sweat to make Yorgrim laugh, she lost all the bones in her left arm and immediately tried to high-five Briggsy, she laughs and jokes easily with Farryn, she healed/comforted Hugo without hesitation knowing what he’d done, she gave food and water to a dying man in a dungeon despite protests

everything about Lethica is designed to be mysterious and sinister when people encounter her - she’s always saying cryptic shit about Shar! Her domain is Trickery!!

but Lethica isn’t what you’d expect from a Sharran Cleric - she’s always making silly jokes! and her first instinct is to show kindness to those around her! Lethica chooses to lean in and she reassures and she took note of what Marius ate for breakfast so she could make him a little meal when the rest of them ate without him so he wouldn’t be hungry!

It’s a fascinating character dichotomy, because it’d be so easy to lean into a Proud Drow cleric of a NE Goddess as someone who was callous or manipulative whilst still maintaining that surface level charm…

but Derek chooses to do the opposite. He makes Lethica kind just to be kind, and always a little surprised when she’s rewarded for it. And her devotion to Shar doesn’t waver in the face of it. Lethica isn’t kind despite being a Sharran, she’s just a kind Sharran

Lethica Nightborne…. what a woman
