suryzati

[ALT ID: A digital illustration of a Black woman wearing a pink peplos-style dress, heavy robe with fur trim, and jewelry. She stands in front of a banner with a sun and moon emblem and looks somewhat distracted. Her one arm is wrapped tightly around her waist while her other hand fidgets with her pearl necklace.]

#my art #yay 2025 signature that i think i like #ch: malia #story: tcp #soldato has essentially a four-ruler govt based off the sun and moon #where in each generation of rulers there's one responsible for domestic affairs who basically stays at the palace forever (the holding sun)#and one responsible for foreign affairs who is more likely to travel (the traveling sun aka the moon)#but bc they (similar to arradine) put a lot of value in ancestors and (unlike arradine) community #they always have two of these--one that's the older generation (whose titles translate closer to like 'setting sun' and 'waning moon')#and one that's their successors (whose titles translate to essentially 'rising sun' and 'waxing moon')#technically suryzati was supposed to be the holding sun but. idk why i have linked it in my brain with malia and since it's a made up word #i am just going to flip them i think
