#Krotumir

[tallysingatsby]

A collaboration with @ego-osbourne for @metallic-scaled-scarf! Ego did the lineart and I did the coloring! For those who don’t know, this is Nonvul and his dragon, Krotumir.

[metallic-scaled-scarf]

Heyo, it's been a while, but I've added onto the Dragon Priest!Chrysanthe AU— where @99corentine 's lovely ldb Chrysanthe is a reincarnated Dragon Priest.

It's back, but, with a twist! This is actually the product of an AU of the AU ( thanks to @tomatotimes ), where Nonvul manages to survive his ( quite gruesome ) injuries because Miraak escapes Apocrypha and saves him ( and Krotumir, too. )

The lyrics are from the song “Landfill” by Daughter, and it honestly fits their situation so, so well.

Tomato theorized that there would be VERY HIGH tensions between these two Dovahkiin after Nonvul wakes up, since there's their inherent soulmated-ness mixed with the pure hatred Nonvul definitely feels towards Miraak because he betrayed the Dragon Cult.

We spoke at length about it— and it somehow manages to be more angsty than the original AU. Tomato has done a few sketches about this idea, and I have this artwork here, but it sounds like something fun to explore. One would then wonder,.. what happens to Chrysanthe, if Nonvul survives?

I hope you like it as much as I do!

With some close-ups of course..

A few notes before your lore:

This page, if you'll take notice of the dates, was drawn far before my most recent posts. (i say far but they're all within days of one another) Why? Because I never got around to posting it and ideas were coming too fast to take a break.

This was the first concept art for Krotumir, and this page was supposed to be dedicated to him. It technically is, but more to his speech and a word wall than anything else.

I'm aware the word wall doesn't have an on-page translation, you'll get one.

Lore under the cut, I feel like being nice to the poor sods who find my posts on their dashboard.

Let's do this one piece at a time, shall we?

The Word Wall.

Shown above, this word wall didn't exist until after the Dragon War. No great feat had even been accomplished in Sedinbildrun deserving of a wall, no great hero had made his legacy. While a large and beautiful city, Sedinbildrun wasn't well-known to those who lived outside of that area.

The word wall says:

“Daar vahrukiv fin fahliil Sonaak wo krif erei dinok wah spaan fin Bron do Sedinbildrun wah vul lo.”

Which translates to:

“This commemorates the Elf Priest who fought until death to shield the Nord[s][Atmorans] of Sedinbildrun from hopeless deception.”

*quick note before you notice the discrepancy: yes I made a mistake with translating. I get vocabulary words wrong sometimes, happens to everyone. The 'gran' shown in the picture above was supposed to be 'krif' as shown in the translation above. I apologize for this mistake.

Nonvul and Krotumir were praised even after their death for how they gave everything to fight and protect the city from invaders. Because of their sacrifice, Nonvul's in particular, the people of Sedinbildrun crafted a beautiful word wall with carvings telling the story. Statues were erected, one of Nonvul and another of Krotumir, then mounted on(Krotumir) or near(Nonvul) the wall.

The Phrases.

From his curiosity about mortals to his borderline-delicacy with his priests, Krotumir was far from the ruthlessness generally expected of the Dov. His interest in mortals and mortality in particular was confounding to the other Dovahhe, but being a Serpentine dragon he was used to their judgement. When observing or speaking to his priests or acolytes, Krotumir curled around them as if they were his treasures.

Perhaps they were.

If Nonvul were to make mistakes– large like misplacing a sacrifice or small like misspeaking during a sermon– Krotumir would look into why the mistake is made, seeking to stop it from happening again rather than attempting to beat it out of his Sonaakke.

The phrases above in the concept art portray some draconic ways of comfort that Krotumir provided.

The first is..

“Fen ni krosis do dii Sonaak.”

which translates to..

“[I] will not [make] sorrow of my Priest.”

And the second is..

“Fen neh beyn Sonaaki fah joorahiil.”

which translates to..

“[I] will never fault [my] Priest for [his] mortality.”

Final Notes.

Keep in mind that spoken Dovahzul cuts out pronouns and 'unnecessary words.'

Also, I spliced 'joorahiil' together because there's no word for mortality.

[metallic-scaled-scarf]

Here we are, another piece added to the Dragon Priest! Chrysanthe AU.

For context, look Here. All based on @99corentine ’s Chrysanthe ofc.

Nonvul's armor is refrenced from Skyrim concept art that can be found in a post Here.

That concept art had an end goal: this! After hours of references and picking out complimentary colors, I present to you a full-body Nonvul.

In case you couldn't tell, the Dovahzul at the top spells ‘Nonvul.’ My Dovahzul handwriting is improving every day, in my humble opinion.

Shading metal is an internationally-recognized form of torture. Don't look it up trust me on this. I'll have more art touching up on the Mask and weapons eventually, but today is not that day.

Nonvul's armor has three goals: intimidation, flexibility, and protection. The armor is classified as a blend of light and heavy, with elements meant to draw out the benefits of both. The armor stays away from his joints, save the shoulders and knees, and is closer to chainmail in craftsmanship than welded plates. The armor has fire resistance and magic resistance enchantments, as requested by Krotumir.

His inner robes are soft– meant to provide comfort, while the outer layers are coarse and thick– meant to protect from attacks and the weather. Although the weather in his area is far from the extremity of Skyrim's northern coast, Nonvul is still an Elf, and prefers to be as cozy as possible.

[metallic-scaled-scarf]

Long Post, Sorry.

I have put an undisclosable number of hours towards working this AU into place while still fitting in with @99corentine 's lovely lore. This is a concept page for the character, don't worry I have more on the way. Without further ado, here we are: the first pass of a...

DragonPriest!Chrysanthe AU.

Let's get into the details, shall we? These are some lore bits I've scraped off the floor of my brain so brace yourself.

DISCLAIMER (obligagory): These ideas are just nonsense I've thrown together while thinking about GOL HAH DOV. Please excuse my poor writing skills, I'm just excited and this AU has been building up in my mind for weeks.

His Race. Since Altmer weren't present in Skyrim back then (or Tamriel, arguably), I went with Chimer for our ‘original’ Chrysanthe. It resembles his current appearance and allows for those haunting blue eyes (ignore ESO's lore breaking character customization.)

His Identity. Lenrezoc sounded impressive and fit Chry's face for some reason, so it was chosen for his ‘given’ name. I pulled it out of my ass because I liked it, but we can always revise. I chose Nonvul [Noble, Honorable in Dovahzul] for his Priest Title(?) because of his dedication to the Priesthood ‘despite’ being an Elf. The only other Priest that knew he was an Elf was Konahrik, and no other mortals knew of his race.

His Indoctrination. Lenrezoc was part of a scouting group of Chimer that landed in Tamriel and wandered too far into Skyrim. He and his caravan witnessed two Dragons fighting, and consequently the death of one. Lenrezoc absorbed its soul, being Dragonborn, and in confused fear he attacked his comrades who moved too close. The surviving Dragon killed the remaining Chimer and brought Lenrezoc before the Temple, claiming the Elf as his own Acolyte. He trained and quickly rose through the ranks of his regional Temple, eventually donning the mask of Nonvul.

His Location. I didn't miss how lovely the Falkreath forests appeared through Chry's POV, so, of course, I integrated it. His temple and home city resides in the Jerall Mountains, a mountain range that strattles the border between Skyrim and Cyrodiil. Did I double check to make sure there were no other temples in that area? No. They can move.

His Temple. Nonvul's city and temple share a name; Sedinbildrun [Lit. South Defense, Southern Defense in Dovahzul.] It was built in the shadow of and carved out of the Jerall Mountains in the western Falkreath Hold. Yes, this is close to Hevnoraak. No, they didn't like each other.

His Rule. Nonvul was a firm and just ruler, often more patient and analytical than his destructive colleagues. His people were well-educated and many entered the Temple as Acolytes rather than lowly worshippers because of it. Nonvul's ‘graciousness’ was attributed to his closeness to his Dragon Patron as well as his fondness for the Restoration School of Magick. His rule was prosperous and peaceful, until the Dragon War, wherein his city fell to rebel invaders.

His Patron. Each priest served under a specific dragon– a Patron– if you will. Nonvul's was Krotumir [Sorcerer-Hammer-Allegiance in Dovahzul]. Krotumir was a Serpentine Dragon and was always more sympathetic and patient with the mortal races. He was the one who discovered Nonvul and had already claimed him before any other Dovah could open their mouth. Krotumir and Nonvul were close, though still God and Priest, and Nonvul had many opportunities to be vulnerable in front of his Patron. Krotumir was privately affectionate towards his Priest and lost many weeks conversing with Nonvul about the workings of the mortal mind.

His Fall. Once the Dragon War had officially begun, Nonvul bolstered his city's defenses and pushed harder to train skilled warriors in case of a siege. For months, all was silent in the surrounding forests. Suddenly, under the cover of night, Sedinbildrun was attacked on 3 fronts by Nordic rebels, and in seemingly endless numbers. Nonvul evacuated his people deep into Sedinbildrun Temple while working alongside the warriors and his own Acolytes to push back at the invasion. The battle lasted 6 days before only Nonvul was left defending his city. Krotumir was taken down– not killed– by the invaders just before Nonvul was also captured. The Nordic rebels brought the Priest before his dying Patron. They unmasked, berated, then beat him until his death. Krotumir died almost immediately after witnessing this, his final words being ones of hope.

His Promise. Krotumir, through his conversations with Nonvul, gained a slippery understanding of how becoming a Dragur or a Lich affected a mortal's nature. Consequently, he decided that he didn't want this for his Nonvul– not because his priest shouldn't experience immortality– but because Krotumir wanted his priest to remain coherent and capable of serving him forever. Before Nonvul died, Krotumir placed a blessing upon him:

“Neh Daal Diil, Nonvul, Vokrii Sil Keit.”

[“Never Return Undead, Nonvul, Restore Essence Promise.” in Dovahzul.]

As the words were spoken, Fate carved them on the inside of Nonvul's mask, allowing the blessing to be known to his surviving city.

His Legacy. Nonvul's death was discovered by the city's 300 survivors, who waited until silence was all they heard before emerging from the temple. Within the clearing dust laid the remains of Nonvul and Krotumir, Priest and God, near the summit of the Temple. A surviving Acolyte discovered the ingravings on the mask whilst others gawked at an exposed Elven Priest. She took charge of the situation, directing the reconstruction of Sedinbildrun while consecrating the bodies of those who had died defending it. Wanting to avoid another tragedy, the Acolyte, Felerid, used her advanced magickal abilites to ward off their Burg from enemies. She eventually cast an Illusion-Alteration spell that cost her life and that of 50 other mages: A spell that would cloak Sedinbildrun from the outside world– It disguised the city as part of the mountains. To any outsiders, the area was one of impenetrable stone and uneasy whispers. With time they rebuilt their city and their families, and even allowed travel in and out of their sanctuary. As time moved on, any outside records of this city were lost or destroyed. Those inside alone remember.

Hundreds of generations later in 4E 201, the Stronghold of Sedinbildrun stands relentless, awaiting the return of its beloved Nonvul.

Welcome back to the Dragon Priest! Chrysanthe AU! For context, look Here and Here.

The Chrysanthe character is by @99corentine.

Click images to see them in actual high quality.

Slight CW for scar-tattoos, and be advised he shows a lil belly. There is also some Dragon Cult religious jargon near the end.

One page with a stack of close-ups! Let's get into your daily snack of lore, shall we?

It's obvious that the Dragon Priests’ faces were treasures to their Masters, so of course this applied to their bodies as well. That doesn't mean Dragons kept the skin of their Sonaakke hidden away at all times, though. The Dov commonly practiced the art of ‘Marking’ their own Priests.

The Markings of a Title.

When taking on their new name, a Priest will have the Dovahzul runes carved into their skin with a ritual blade, creating intricate and controlled scar patterns. Should a Priest receive a different title, the skin containing their old one will be burned until the old name is unrecognizable before carving a new one in a different place. Few Priests ever had their names changed, usually those who committed defiant acts against their Dovah Masters.

Nonvul’s name is scratched up his right arm, starting at the elbow and working towards the shoulder (shown in art above).

The Markings of a Patron.

Alongside their own name, a Priest will receive ‘Markings’ of their Patron’s name. This isn't unexpected, the Dov have always been possessive beings and to write on their precious Sonaakke is an opportunity they wouldn't pass up. Of all the ‘Markings’ a Priest may receive, their Patron's name is the only one that is always carved by the Dragon.

In Nonvul’s case, the name is displayed in delicate etchings across his chest– Krotumir was cautious with his Priest while he carved out each rune.

The Markings of a Will.

Oaths, don't we love them? Dragon Priests undoubtedly fell under many Oaths and Vows throughout their lives– many of which, when broken, would get them immediately slaughtered. As a reminder of the importance of the Priesthood and to instill unwavering loyalty, Oaths of various strengths are bestowed upon the minds and bodies of the Sonaakke. The writings usually varied wildly in topic and coiled jealously around a Priest's torso, legs, neck, and arms. Phrases like “Unending Service” were the most common, though every Vow was unique.

Nonvul’s ‘Markings’ in terms of Oaths were far from extensive– he only had two on his torso (shown in art above) but had a few phrases on his legs and pelvis (not shown in art above). From his left shoulder snaking down his arm is the word “THAARN” (Obedience in Dovahzul), the intentions of this inscription is rather clear and have colorful implications for Chrysanthe. Moving onto the other Vow– across his stomach and wrapping partially around his waist– sits the phrase “GRO ZEIM DINOK” (Bound Past Death in Dovahzul). This clearly refrenced the return of Dragon Priests as Liches, but in Nonvul’s case it did not come to pass. The phrase still applies, however, because he was reincarnated with the intention of rejoining the Priesthood.

Importance of the Marks.

The Dragon Priests always were eager to receive their Title– their new Identity– the new definition of themselves for eternity. By taking up this Name they have ascended higher than other mortals, but are still nothing in the face of a Dovah.

Their Patron's name went similarly: They receive the grave honor of inscribing the very essence of their God upon their bodies, ensuring until the end of time that this is their Fate, and taking the implications into their being.

The Sonaakke took their Vows with the utmost reverence, and full rituals to carve individual words or phrases could span upwards of 36 hours. Dedication and loyalty were heavily stressed and the Dovahzul being inscribed was repeated by the Priest throughout the process. The ritual reinforced the ideals held within the Priesthood that this is their glorious unending fate. Service to the dragons is not temporary, as the dragons themselves are not temporary. To swear oneself to the Dov is to bind one's very soul to their Will, to give oneself entirely that one may become More through service.

To be Nothing to serve Everything.

Original character by @99corentine, as always.

CW for Blood, Fantasy Violence.

First we have a fully-colored Krotumir, who is resting in a circle of... stones? I guess? I dunno, I'm working on backgrounds I promise.

Since he's a serpentine dragon, I had a lot less references to use for his appearance.

His coloration matches Nonvul’s robes, as Krotumir wished to show at all times that this was his Priest. Nonvul was powerful– Dovahkiin aside– and a prize many dragons envied Krotumir for. Many Dov tried fighting him for his Priest, none were successful.

[“Your service to these beasts has led you to death, foul priest”

“die, in fear”]

Next, we have The Fall of Nonvul. Here he is, at best, moments from death.

After being utterly exhausted and injured beyond his Magicka's healing capacity, Nonvul was thrown before the dying Krotumir and unmasked. Kneeling before his Patron one final time, Nonvul was berated and embarrassed to near-violation by his enemies.

This also happens to be part of my TESMerMay2022 mix of drawings, so..

Day 16: Chimer

Plus, some delicious close-ups.

Alright, I'll provide a name, location, and description of each marking on his lower body. The ones on his upper body can be found here, as well as the lore I've written about these tattoos.

Unslaad Aari (ceaseless/eternal servant [of mine] in Dovahzul, labeled as #8 and #9) sits above Mindoraan on Nonvul's right thigh— since it is a phrase, Unslaad sits winding across the thigh and up the hip with Aari directly under it. This Markings is similar in its service-implications to Gro Zeim Dinok.

Mindoraan (‘understanding’ in Dovahzul, labeled as #1) is located on Nonvul's right leg— starting above his knee, winding around the back, and ending just below his knee. Being within the Priests' ranks implies that the Priest has become Enlightened as a true servant of the Dov.

Grah (battle/struggle in Dovahzul, labeled as #12) is located on Nonvul's lower shin— it is a short word so it doesn't cover very much. This Marking represents the struggles the Dragon Priests underwent during Miraak's rebellion, making Grah the youngest Marking on Nonvul.

Sahvot (faith in Dovahzul, labeled as #10) curves across Nonvul's left thigh— starting halfway down and reads up to the side of his hip. The Dragon Cult was a religion, after all, and faith is typically part of a religion. This was among the oldest of Markings on his body.

Werid (praise/exalt in Dovahzul, labeled as #11) is located underneath Sahvot on Nonvul's thigh— but it curves in the opposite direction up into the other word. This word was carved by Krotumir, who felt that His Priest was grand enough to be praised by other mortals (though obviously not as the Dov are praised) and wished to remind His Priest of this at every moment.

Fahdon (friend/companion in Dovahzul, labeled as #13) is carved on Nonvul's left shin— starting above the ankle and winding up his lower leg until it stops just halfway up. Alongside Werid, Fahdon was also one of the few Markings carved by Krotumir himself, and the reasons are linked to their deep personal (somewhat) connection.

[99corentine]

So beautiful! I love the shades of it as well - kind of river blue/pine green, in contrast to the purples many other dragon priests seem to wear.

I notice a lot of fire resistance enchantments - requested by Krotumir to protect against other dragons, perhaps, since most of them are fire-based?

I’m enjoying the name Nonvul, because although you’ve explained the meaning the non- part of it makes it sound like it secretly means no-one or no-name which is very fitting for Chrysanthe - who is of course without a true name.

Here we are, another piece added to the

Yeees dragon lore. Krotumir is fascinating, but what intrigues me the most is that he’s still a dragon despite treating his people/priest with kindness. It feels not so much that it’s because he sees them as equals, but more like... beloved pets. So he takes very good care of them, but there’s still that classic dragon superiority. At least that’s how I interpret it - because even Paarthurnax will freely admit that he basically struggles not to be outright evil, so to my mind dragons are never really good, even if they learn to work well with mortals.

I’m so curious as to how he interacted with Miraak. Something tells me he didn’t like someone who competed for Nonvul’s attention and distracted from his duties...

It’s not my AU but my booooy D: The pose of the second drawing is fantastic, I can feel his pain. And Krotumir! I love that he’s a darker colouration than Sahrotaar. And the matching robes yeees, possessive dragons. If Chrysanthe was reincarnated Nonvul this would also explain why he’s not particularly bothered by Miraak’s possessive tendencies (and even secretly enjoys them a little bit), because it’s something he was accustomed to in a past life.

Obviously Chrysanthe is not a reincarnated dragon priest since that now contradicts the latest chapters of GHD, but you’re really tempting me to write it T_T I must resist, I haven’t even come close to finishing GHD yet.
