Parental love

little illustration I did forgive me for my laziness but I'm NOT finishing this

I am by no means a writer and English isn't my native language, so yeah, approach at your own caution as always, may be radioactive

The colors on her canvas all turned crimson, black. There were no bright rays of light, no glow of the Elven empire. There was no empire at all – everything that came out from under her brush turned into blood-red chaos. The brush hit the floor, painting the stone with oil paint, the wooden handle broke from the force of the blow. Sylaise wanted to throw off the easel and tear the canvas apart, but instead she simply fell to the floor, bursting into muffled sobs.

Her cities, her statues, desecrated, destroyed, infested with living trash, pointless beings only made to serve, all by the hand of rebels. If she had her way, if she had known all those years ago, she would have squeezed the traitor's neck until her knuckles turned white, until the last drop of lies fell from his poisoned lips, until his lungs closed with his last breath. Solas. She hoped he would burn.

Behind her she heard a solemn, many-legged stomping that would have pleased her at any other time. Loneliness was eating her up and leaving no trace, despite her constant search for solitude. Only one entered the chamber, endless servants left behind. She did not bother to turn around. Hot hands gripped her shoulders, pulled her up, forced Sylaise to her feet. Gods do not cry, huddled on the cold floor.

– Your work will be avenged. – Uncompromising statement, meant for comfort.

None of the Evanuris knew parental love. They were created from the flesh and blood of the Titans, each molding their own bodies from plasma. But Elgar'nan was the one who called to her, when she was but a spirit. Called to grace the earth with her beauty, to build his empire with care, to make it glorious. She found comfort in the rays of the Sun.

– Give me your soldiers and the rebels will have to fall back. They are outmatched as it is, with worthless thralls fighting for their cause. – He ran a hand through her brown hair. Soft like silk, left unbraided.

– But what about my cities? My temple?

– If you don't give me your forces, they will take them and more. Rabid dogs, that's what they are, and I need to put them down.

Silence lingered, as she was left to consider. To think.

– They will ravage, will destroy. – His words only fueled the desire to step onto the battlefield herself. To set ablaze each and one of them. – I will bring their heads to your feet if you so wish.

– I'll send the order to my forces to retreat through the eluvians. – Sylaise tilted her head up to meet the satisfied gaze of golden eyes. – June gathered lyrium knights for my personal guard. I can send them.

With a soft click, the sun-shaped brooch released the other side of his heavy cloak, the head embroidered with gold thread and rubies. Elgar'nan threw the heavy cloak over her fragile, but already straight shoulders, led her to the soft taffeta, strewn with pillows. Sylaise did not protest and sunk down. Endless fabrics of her dress and his coat weighed her down, suffocated.

– I won't leave you vulnerable. You're the greatest treasure, Sylaise, and the one I vowed to protect from those, who seek to wrong us.

Cold air rushed into the room, billowing the organza curtains, fanning them out. All-father wrapped her tighter in his cloak, not knowing where to place his hands, how to make her smile. He can bring the head of Solas himself, but knew it wasn't enough. Andruil is still nowhere to be found and no one can fill the void for Sylaise other than her sister. Parental love was unfamiliar to them?

– Don't go, please. Please, stay. – She felt her throat tightening, her nose starting to feel raw. Her eyes threatened to burst into tears.

Gods do not cry, burying their red faces in someone else's shoulder. They probably do not cry at all, do not love, do not get lonely, they only rule. But now, in secret, they became just elves. Sun-Tamer found himself just a man, and what is a greater weakness for a man, than a daughter?

Evanuris to old gods Linked

yeah yeah, we all saw that codex but I feel it's not... correct. Yeah, I'm sorry bellara I'm actually way smarter and totally not fixated on evanuris for more than a year reading far to deep into the codexes.

1. Dumat -> Dirthamen. Secrets, silence – you get it. Also:

1. Statue of Dumat in Dirth temple.

2. Interesting situation, where a follower of Dirth weirdly follows the fate very VERY similar to corepheys, a follower of Dumat.

2. Zazikel –> Andruil.

1. Andruil is the only one actively referred to as 'mad' in dalish legends, and it was confirmed in datv that yes she was blighted. the high priest of zazikel is literally called "madman of chaos"

2. Looking back to the constellation associated with zazikel (kios) we can see someone, clearly representing andruil. It was said that she had wings, and a legendary spear – well, here they are!

3. Andoral -> June

1. I saw a great post on here, remarking than fenris's marking do look quite similar to June's vallaslin, and considering the note below, it wouldn't be stretch to think, that June was the one to create the whole vallaslin and soldiers like fenris thing. he was said to worked with lyrium

2. it also ties in with the fact, that I'm the codex there is a remark, that June's domain has shifted after time, likely because that disappeared from elven culture. slavery did disappear (in elves enslaving elves), so did the work with lyrium

4. Urthimiel-> sylaise. controversial topic I KNOW. hear me out

1. Sylaise is said to be the architect of elven cities (codex and solas dialog w elg), while high priest of urth is called architect of Beauty

2. the constellation associated with urth is called 'the maiden'. Sylaise is a goddess closely associated with femininity, motherhood

2.1 also, the maiden looks awfully close to sylaise mural and symbol with this point crown thing.

5. Toth-> Falon'din

AGAIN hear.me.out. alot of people link toth to sylaise, but actually, I feel like no old God feels Falon'din like sooo.

1. working around what we had we take a look at the constellation associated with toth. it is a man in flames, in agony. how tf does this relate to Falon'din? well I can imagine one particular part of lore where Falon'din LOST to Elgar'nan, who is heavily associated with fire and the sun. constellation seem to represent the evanuris themselves (I DONT KNOW WHAY HAPPENED W TENEBRIUM AND LUSACAN). it's actually strange, it feels like lusacan and toth were switched.

lusacan is the Dragon of the night and here is the literal song to Falon'din

The People swore their lives to Falon'Din

Who mastered the dark that lies.

Whose shadows hunger

Whose faithful sing

Whose wings of death surround him

Thick as night.

and toth being literal Dragon of Fire seems fitting for Elgar'nan, son of the sun. But probably, the fight ensued, and the winner (Elg) got the bigger cooler dragon.
