#Nadalia bride of ash

[heraldofcrow]

Well, it’s not perfect but I TRIED for my dear friend @katyspersonal who wanted to see pre-transformed Nadalia, Bride of Ash from Dark Souls 2! I would like to try designing her again in the future!

Happy Birthday (one day late) Katy <33

I know every year is rough for you, girl — but you’re still one of the strongest people I’ve ever known and deserve to at least have your birthday honored okay? Love you, and enjoy your gift 🖤🫂

was talking with @newlondohollow about Manus' daughters parallelism which i talked about in the previous post and we've had some realizations:

like i said Alsanna represents Manus' fear for the gods, and she is very similiar to Filianore, and ironically... her kingdom fell because of a creation of the gods, the Chaos Flame, created by Izalith.

even Manus' incarnation of his fear couldn't escape the thing he was fearful about, the gods.

Nadalia resembles Manus' loneliness, Manus always felt alone in his entire life, he got segregated, controlled by the gods, and even at Oolacile he couldn't find peace, since he got tortured in the dungeons of it, all alone.

and yet, Manus' incarnation of his loneliness was going to marry... a torturer! the Old Iron King.

ironic, isn't it?

i don't have much to say about Nashandra and Elana since they both resembles Beast!Manus emotions more than Human!Manus'

i love Manus lore

Placing the Smelter Wedge into Nadalia. Since I love messing with camera angles for screenshots, Seeing the camera facing him as he shoves the wedge in had a cinematic feeling. The struggle to make Fume Knight easier.

A seldom-discussed dark souls 2 topic is the homosexual tension between the old iron king and the smelter demon

The fume knight and the bride of ash

[nightmaredaisy]

So in your canon, Ferris and Nadalia knew each other and were in love? Man, to think I couldn't feel more sorry for Nadalia. Why couldn't they be happy together and not dead/mad from loneliness? (And be in a threesome relationship with Alonne.)

Yep ! As a Daughter of Dark is istinctually drawn to strong royal souls I thought it fitting that she’d find her way into a royal family, then Ferris showed his true potential and she realized it was him she searched for. Damn politics always getting in the way !

(but my “non-canon” headcanons totally see her and Alonne as platonic bffs with a dumbass common boyfriend who gets in all sorts of troubles and needs his calm and collected dates to metaphorically leash him)

Mytha erasure in this fandom is atrocious like

"yeah all four monarchs have married a child of dark and their kingdoms all fell because of them!!!" THAT'S NOT TRUE??????

i've saw this many times but it's literally not true, Nadalia have never met the Old Iron King, literally the first thing it is told about her is that she came after the king died😭 give my girl Mytha (ACTUAL OIK's wife) some respect she was also not happy in that relationship bruh

also no, Shulva, Alken and Eleum Loyce have not fell because of the daughters of dark, only Drangleic fell because of Nashandra.

Shulva died out because that dumbass Yorgh and his cringe clan attempted to kill Sinh, while yes Elana was partially involved (she poisoned him) it's still not entirely her fault.

Alken died out BECAUSE OF THE KING HIMSELF, HE DID IT TO HIMSELF NO CHILD OF DARK WAS INVOLVED (Nadalia is still diabolical tho)

and for last, Eleum Loyce died out because of the Old Chaos, Alsanna was nowhere near evil😭

STOP WITH THIS DS2 LORE DISINFORMATION😭😭

Daughters of Dark observations

Bruh, turns out Alsanna DOES have an eye color, and it is not what I expected!

This is the texture of her skin and facial features, from this ( x ) website loaded through a ZIP!

I also have a feeling as though Daughters of Dark come in pairs; so, whereas Nashandra and Elana are both blondes with green eyes, Alsanna and Nadalia would both be black-haired with ??? eyes!

I mean, Elana is not quite herself anymore, but her hair looks very much like actual hair still, and blonde + green eyes combo feels oddly coincidental?

Nadalia's body is also not what it used to be, but black hair is distinct, and again, to think in 'pairs' sense it'd fit very well for her to be black haired even originally because Alsanna's hair is black!

When I thought what Alsanna's and Nadalia's eyes would be, I really felt maybe red or orange? It'd contrast with the other two's green nicely, since their hair already sort of does! But I suppose I had a right hunch still, because if Alsanna's eye texture gets saturation turned up, it IS, in fact, orange and red!

Even the "greenish" looking edges are actually on orange spectrum, just try to colorpick and see yourself! An idea: maybe her eyes were a much brighter red/orange color, but saturation is lost in them for now? Meanwhile, if Nadalia still had her face, her eyes would be bright and glow as much as her idols x)

Raime the Fume Knight

Raime The Fume Knight is a boss from Dark Souls 2 he was a former knight of Vendrick and ally of Velsaldt but he betrayed them and met one of the daughters Manus named Nadalia the bride of ash.

[arcanistsonofianite]

Hi guys this is Manus, Father of the Abyss from Dark Souls Artorias of the Abyss DLC. It is the final boss of the DLC and a very important character to the Souls series. As the father of the Abyss, it is the reason that the Abyss was created, as it oozes from his body. It is believed that he might be the Furtive Pygmy, original holder of the Dark Soul, but i’m not completely sure on that point. He is encountered in the Chasm of the Abyss. Being the final boss of the DLC, Manus is one of the hardest bosses in the Dark Souls games. He uses a lot of abyss magic, being its creator. Once defeated the player will collect his souls and 10 Humanities. He is still relevant in the other 2 games as his remnants appear in the second game. They are Nashandra, Elana, Nadalia, and Alassana, each being a character in the main game of the DLC’s. Nashandra is the final boss of the original game an is the fragment of power, being the main antagonist of the second game. Elana is the fragment of wrath, and  a boss you must defeat to reach Sinh, the Slumbering Dragon. Nadalia, Bride of Ash is another fragment, but she is split across the areas in the Crown of the Iron King DLC. Alasanna is the uniquest of them, as she represent Manus fears and anxieties. She travels to Eleum Loyce and served under the Ivory King. Of all the fragments Alasanna is the only one who helps the player.In the third game, Abyss creature are shown around the game, as well as the Abyss Watchers, who hunt it. Tell me what you this boss in the comments.I will be posting the Fragments another time, starting with Nashandra.
