Expanding on discord server thoughts about Sarcean and the Sun King being siblings.

A sibling to keep by your side and to keep busy because you love them (don’t you?) but they are too ambitious to be harmless. A threat if left unsupervised. A sibling always in your larger than life shadow. In the shadow of the Sun itself. Unseen, never admired as you are but feared (you did that on purpose) so that they cannot triumph over you, so that nobody will choose their side over yours.

A sibling you let do the hard work.

And when they lash out at you, when they try to make a claim on what belongs to you, your cruelty knows no bounds because you are the one that knows them best. They are your sibling after all. So you take what matters most to them.

But with that betrayal, with all of those little betrayals, you forged the weapon that would slay you.
