#Godmouth AU

[overgrownmoon]

morning mspaint doodles b4 i have to leave. more of my happy ending au :) i need to write more about it... most of the au is just the siblings learning how to have Feelings and exploring their life as Hallownest recovers

[overgrownmoon]

Professors Quirrel and Lemm, new overseers of the Archives. They work to preserve Hallownest's history, ensuring that it may never be repeated. They also work to uncover lost technologies and knowledge of the past, to help the people rebuild. Knight Hallow stops by to give their knowledge and advice, and sometimes gives demonstrations of their skill at nail and spell.

The damage of time to Quirrel's body means he is no longer fit to fight, but he has found new purpose continuing the Teacher's work. Lemm is happy to find a use for his knowledge and skills, and grumpily (although lovingly) takes care of Quirrel's health.

Yes this is a Quirrel Lives AU shut up he deserves it.

I'm thinking that this AU will be based off a godmaster ending where Ghost recruits a party of help to take down the pantheon and the Absolute Radiance, instead of taking them on by themselves. I love the idea of a whole host of pissed off adventurers facing the Old Light and her going "Aw Shit"

im making a good ending au :)

everyone lives, and the royal family rebuilds their home. Hallownest will survive, and become glorious once more.

Under their careful gaze, the Silent King, Lord of Shades rules with a kind and merciful hand. Determined to be the opposite of their father in every aspect, the King walks among their people, personally overseeing the rebuilding efforts and aiding their people wherever they need. Although they cannot speak, their presence speaks volumes as they work tirelessly to right the wrongs of the past.

Queen Hornet the Sharp earned her title through her sharp mind, wit, and blade. Able to reunite the long-warring kingdoms of Hallownest and Deepnest, she acts as the kingdom's judge, enacting swift justice upon wrongdoers and enemies, a vow to protect her people kept. Firm, yet fair, she is revered as the Kingdom's Needle.

Once discarded and now born again, Hallow the Beloved was personally finally granted their long-earned title of Knight of Hallownest by their siblings. They refused their offered place at the throne in favor of being free to explore Hallownest and offer their servitude to the people they saved. Eternally grateful, they have truly earned the title of Beloved by the people. They also serve at the Archives, giving their knowledge of the past to the Archive's new overseers, Professors Lemm and Quirrel.

After mining at the Crystal Peaks resumed, Dirtmouth's population boomed as survivors sought to begin again away from the corpse of the kingdom. It was renamed Godmouth, apt as it became the home of three gods.

Eager to represent a new era, Godmouth is now the nation's new capitol, and a palace was constructed for the King, Queen, and Knight to live in. It houses a great commons hall, with gates open to the outside for any citizen to visit for commerce, social gatherings, and a place to rest. Grimm is known to visit often, happily entertaining the populace with dazzling shows of flame. This is to the Queen's chagrin, but the King seems to delight in Grimm's visits. Knight Hallow also sits in the hall often, quiet and contemplative, a ready friend to sit by and speak to for as long as one needs; their patience is infinite, and their very presence brings peace.

OH MY GOD WHAT IF I NAMED MY AU GHOST HEART… THE HEART OF HALLOWNEST. HORNET HOLLOW AND HEART. IM SO SMART.

but i was also thinking of renaming hollow -> Solace,

maybe i can find another name that starts with H for hollow. like hollow is a good and solid name but i want to give it a name that doesn’t reflect their past life yanno?

An alliance was made between Hallownest and it's neighbors.

With Queen Vespa long dead, Yuva ascended the chain of command from guard captain to Queen overnight. Queen Yuva is an experienced warrior, tough and seasoned leader, and loyal to her people; her and Hornet seem to get along well, reminiscing the days when Hornet once visited the Hive to get personal nail lessons from Vespa.

Moss Priest Imogen was in contrast reluctant to take a prominent role of leadership, but as the last surviving member of the Mosskin clergy, was forced to fill in. Timid, grandmotherly, yet determined, she focuses on the well-being of her people as they rebuild the desolation the acidic infection wrought.

To the Priest's credit, she brokered the peace treaty between her tribe and the White Lady, agreeing to share the land of the Queen's Gardens. The Mosskin have repopulated the dense forests and caverns of the gardens, while Hallownest prepares the rich fertile fields for agriculture. Imogen holds no ill will towards the citizens of the Silent King, and is happy to form a strong friendship between the two peoples. So far, the situation has worked well, as the Mosskin aid the King's People in preparing the land and in return gain the architectural skills of the folk who built the City.

Back at the Hive, honey and wax production has resumed. Slowly strengthening the failing hive and cleaning the land surrounding of the Wyrm ash, the bees have managed to thrive. Access to candles and sweet honey treats has been a great moral boost to the rest of the land. Queen Yuva is proud to see that her people have found purpose again.
