Finally got to drawing my goat, Ashnan! I love them, she's so silly <3

Now I just need to figure out how to include her in the lore--

[necromancy-enthusiast]

By the beginning of Veilguard it will have been about 20 years since the beginning of Origins and I am Afraid and Concerned for my warden and her Amaranthine pals since you know, that's generally around the time when the calling starts kicking in. All of my previous player characters will be in their 40s and now I'm wondering about what age my Rook should be.

Anyway I'm using this to sort out my thoughts about my Rook before Dragon Age Veilguard comes out. Her name is Vanth Ingellvar and despite *technically* being a surfacer dwarf, she's been able to retain her stone sense because she's spent so much of her life in the necropolis and its network of crypts. Apparently they're particularly difficult to navigate, so she usually ends up on missions down there.

She's heard every single joke or 'observation' you can possibly make about the irony of a dwarf being raised by mages, she doesn't want to hear it. You think you're witty but you're not, you're annoying. She's going to be a warrior and I'll have her specialize in the reaper subclass since it looks cool and is also directly connected to the Mournwatch.

Who the hell knows exactly where she came from and who left her in the crypt as a baby, but it's almost certainly surfacer dwarves or dwarves from Kal Sharok, the only other Thaig that survived the darkspawn invasions. It's a bit more than a stone's throw away from Nevarra but it's way, way closer than Orzammar, so any non-surfacers would have to be from Kal Sharok. It has so much interesting stuff going on from what little we know, and I hope they expand on it more in Veilguard because I have a theory that they all somehow have the taint or had to do something with it to survive the darkspawn onslaught, I dunno. So it would be interesting to have Vanth come from there and having been abandoned by underground routes Kal Sharok has that reach all the way to Nevarra and even the necropolis, so I hope the lore lines up serendipitously. If not then oh well, either I'll headcanon it or I'll figure something else out.

first line tag

thank u for the tag @cowboybrunch !!

this is something new im working on 😋

Ashnan shot a crossbow for the first time when she was fourteen, it was this ratty old thing her father had named Talia, after the god of all gods. He had named it when he believed in the gods, at a time when he loved her mother. That first time she shot, she had missed her target by nothing more than a hair’s width, and doing so earned her a slap. She never missed again.

✾ chapter 2  — magic

❧ Summary: The way Elain and Lucien discovered their mating bond was perhaps not ideal, and the road towards falling in love and accepting their feelings full of thorns — but throughout challenges and adversity, they have made it work. Now, eternity awaits them.

A series of connected ficlets for Elucien Week 2023, set post the end of the series when all villains are gone, following episodes of Elain and Lucien's sometimes quiet, sometimes agitated, life together.

For @elucienweekofficial

Read on Ao3! • Chapter one

 Built on the shores of a glistening turquoise sea, Haemera was a thing of beauty: the lower city rested on white sands like shells on a beach, painted in bright white colors and with gilded roofs. The quays of the rectangular harbor speared the calm, deep water of the sea, where ships from all over the world came to moor, seeking knowledge only the Day Court held. The libraries and the palace district themselves, as well as the Temple of the Risen Sun and the sprawling estates of the nobility, lay perched atop the cliffs, ever-haloed by the blazing sun.

Velaris was the City of Starlight, but Haemera was the City of Sunlight — the entire metropolis shimmered in different colors as the sun rose and set, yellow and orange and pink and purple. When the sun was at its brightest, the white paint seemed to reflect all the colors of the rainbow.

Yet, for all its beauty and bustling activity, Elain and Lucien had elected to move away from it. After years in court, they wanted their own private space, far from prying eyes. Phoebe and Helion had not been keen on the idea, discontent to part with their son and daughter-in-law, but eventually, the four of them came to an agreement.

So Helion gifted them ownership of the Red Palace and all its surrounding lands. It was located on the outskirts of Haemera, far enough that the city walls and its lights were no longer seen, but close enough as to be reached by winnowing once. The construction stood on the slope of a hill flanked by sprawling vineyards and olive trees, a ruby set against the verdant earth, its intricate mullioned windows and latticed walls making for an airy but intimate space.

And the courtyards. The Red Palace had more courtyards than Elain knew what to do with, fountains and pools of water with ivy climbing the elegant columns and archways. They were positioned strategically to allow sunlight and the salty breeze to sweep in, and she could not wait to make every one of them more beautiful than the next. 

She had, of course, immediately invited Nuan to see what mechanical improvements she could think of for the Palace's irrigation systems.

“This is insanity,” Nuan said with a shake of her head, taking a look at Elain's elegant handwritten scrawled all across the parchment. 

Elain huffed, shifting in her seat. “Well, no need to be so blunt. It's merely an idea.”

“An insane idea.” Nuan put down the parchment and removed her glasses, pinching the bridge of her nose. “It has been tried before, you know? In the continent, in the long lost fae city of Ashnan.”

“I do know the legend, thank you very much. Ashnan, the City of Pillars, whose fae dug too deep and too hungrily into the sands for water to feed their mighty projects and awakened something they should not, unleashing a maelstrom that dragged the city to a grave at the core of the world.” She waved a hand, wrinkling her nose. “We were told this story as babies as a cautionary tale of greed — ours and the fae's.”

“And even though you know how Ashnan ended, you still want to try and recreate its hanging gardens?”

“I don't want to recreate the hanging gardens of Ashnan, but rather something inspired by it.” Elain picked up her teacup and sipped the warm apple tea. “Besides, the Red Palace is hardly Ashnan. There's water aplenty, no need to dig so deep, and we are not trying to commit folly against the very laws of the world. Which, I believe, might have more to do with the city's downfall than the gardens proper. But most importantly, they didn't have you to think about the mechanics of it all.”

Nuan snorted. “This is madness.”

“Perhaps it is.”

“It will take years to be completed ”

“Most likely.”

“It will also be costly.”

“Not a problem. The treasury is overflowing.” 

“And it will require the brightest, most brilliant of inventors and crafters to pull it off.”

“Good thing then she's a friend of mine and is sitting right in front of me, isn't it?” Elain set down her cup, a smile breaking across her face. 

The other female let out a deep sigh and got up, leaning over the plans and Elain's annotations with furrowed brows.

“To recreate the work of the ancients into something everlasting…” She rubbed her chin with her thumb, biting her nail, thoughtful. The corner of her mouth lifted. “Yes, that is doable, I think.”

“You will do it then?” Elain asked, eyes lighting up.

“Elain, please. I made that decision the moment you first unveiled your plans.” She smirked at Elain, playful and mischievous, the gears in her head already turning, working full speed. “You will need my special kind of magic to pull this off. Why, someone else may get it wrong.”

༻ ❁ ༺

After Lucien and Elain were well settled in the palace and the main living areas properly redecorated and renovated, Helion and Phoebe invited themselves to stay the whole week. The Day Court, Helion said, wasn't so unstable and devoid of administrative talent so as not to handle one week without its High Lord and High Lady.

Elain woke just before dawn, when the sky was still that deep, fathomless blue darker than any black, broken only by the distant reds, oranges, and purples of daybreak. Soon the sun would rise and chase the shadows away.

She was a light sleeper, had always been, and their time living in the cottage had accustomed her to rising with the birds and the wildlife. In Velaris, Elain hadn't let go of her old habits, not in the least because the early morning was the only time of the day the Inner Circle wouldn't be around and she could enjoy some moments alone with her thoughts.

Seldom did she sleep the morning away, and even rarer did she stay awake late at night: that was reserved for when there were parties and revelries. 

Elain turned on the bed, coming face to face with her mate. Lucien was still soundly asleep, shirtless, his chest rising and falling with the tranquil rhythm of his heartbeat. Much like her, he was an early riser and a light sleeper, one forged by necessity, by a lifetime on high alert, expecting a blade between his ribs.

Though he probably wouldn't wake up anytime soon today, Elain reckoned with a chuckle. Lucien had tried — and utterly failed — to beat Helion in a drinking contest and had to be carried to bed like a baby. She ought to ask Feyre to paint two canvases of the scene so she could give one to Lucien and one to Helion.

With a contented sigh, she rose, pulling away the gossamer curtains that separated her dressing room from hers and Lucien's chambers. Her handmaids were nowhere to be seen, as Elain demanded they only start fussing over her after the sun was already up and high in the sky. Mother knew that if they tried to follow Elain's sleeping schedule, they'd get no rest at all.

She grabbed her pink silk robe from a hanger put it on, tying it around the waist with a ribbon. Then, she left the room through the side door, emerging directly in front of one of her moon gardens. The sweet scent of night-blooming jasmine and the newly bloomed rhododendrons clung to the air, carried by a tranquil breeze.

Elain crossed the garden, running her fingers over the marble edges of the fountain, coming to stand at a balcony overlooking a sheer drop in the hill. Down below, the laborers were already up, all set to start harvesting the ripe grapes. She leaned on the balustrade, resting her face on her hand, and closed her eyes. 

She stood like that for a while, listening to the nightingales sing, the wind whispering as it brushed through the vines, the rushing streams sneaking through the nearby woods. 

Footsteps echoed in the hallway and she opened her eyes, turning to where they were coming from.

Helion grinned at the sight of her, shining faintly on the half-light. She smiled back in response and moved aside, making way for him to stand beside her.

“That habit of yours remains?” He inquired, searching her face.

“It seems like I'm doomed to awake at dawn or in the early morning, no matter my best efforts.” Elain lifted her shoulders, long since resigned to her fate. “And what of you? Is the Lord of Day out to bring daylight for us fae or did you just not sleep?”

“You know quite well that telling the sun when to rise and set is far beyond my powers, though I might be able to light up the night for a time if I tried hard enough,” Helion answered with a chuckle. “No, my dear. As you are doomed to awake early, so am I doomed to sleepless nights. It has grown better with my Phoebe with me but… We all have our demons.”

Elain said nothing, staring at the horizon as the light blue color of the morning skies began to emerge and the sun hung over the land like a crown, allowing a companionable, deep silence to settle between them. She could never understand the depth of Helion’s scars, torn away from his mate for centuries and trapped beneath the darkness of the middle, watching helplessly as Amarantha slaughtered his kin. Lucien still had nightmares from it; she assumed Helion did, too.

“Sometimes when it is too dark and too quiet, I fear falling asleep,” she confessed, tightening her grip on the red stone. “I keep thinking that if I sleep, he will be back, waiting in my dreams with that terrible, terrible magic of his, playing with my sense of self until I can no longer distinguish what is real and what is not.”

“Is that why you closed yourself off to your visions?” Helion asked, the famous day court curiosity getting the better of him.

“In part,” Elain admitted, “but not solely because of it. The future is always in motion, always changing. Few things are set in stone. You pull a thread and suddenly, a whole other path opens. Some futures are dreadful, nightmares only. Others are the opposite. Still, constantly seeing ahead can become a burden, and I’m done living in what-ifs and could-have-been.”

Helion threw his head back with laughter. “Who needs those when we have this moment, this beautiful palace and our mates with us, a whole future ahead? I think we are quite well served, aren’t we, my dear?”

“Yes.” She stood on the tip of her toes and breathed in, releasing the balmy air with a chuckle. “And I wouldn't change it for nothing.”

Her father-in-law watched her carefully, with slightly narrowed eyes, calculating his words.

“I wasn't going to give you both this palace, you know,” he said slowly. “I planned to give you both the Sunburst House in the eastern district, where I resided in my younger years, before the war.”

Elain furrowed her brows, head askew. “And why didn't you?”

“Lucien asked for this place instead — he thought it was fitting. You should ask him yourself why he thought that, though. Perhaps there's a reason to it you do not yet know.”

༻ ❁ ༺

“Not that I’m complaining about waking up like this, love, but would you mind explaining?” Lucien asked, mirth dancing in his russet eye.

Elain lay above him, her knees beside his torso and her long, thin, callused fingers wrapped around his hands, pinning them to the mattress just beside his ears. Her hair fell over her shoulder in unbound waves, casting a shadow over the pale skin of her shoulder blades visible from her loose silk robe. 

She didn’t look very happy though, not with her squinting brown eyes and pink mouth twisted into an annoyed pout.

“Your father said you asked for this palace for us. Why?”

“Elain!” He gasped, faking outrage. “Gossiping with my father already? So early in the morning?”

“He isn’t the one keeping secrets from his mate!”

“That you know of, perhaps.” 

Elain gasped and sat on his belly, leaning down, a flush spreading across her cheeks as she brought her nose close to his. “What is that supposed to mean?”

Lucien chuckled, closing his metal eye and turning his head. “That is for you to figure out.”

“Lucien! That isn’t fair!”

“Neither is ambushing me like this, is it now?” She pressed down on him and he groaned, heat gathering between his tights. “Now you are just being mean.”

“I have a reason.” She said with a little smirk, seemingly satisfied with the reaction she elicited. “Now, the truth: why this place?”

“It has lovely gardens, it’s far enough from the city to allow us some privacy whilst being close enough to return for emergencies, the wine weather is excellent and it's a beautiful, historical building that is well suited to us.”

She rolled her eyes, clicking her tongue. “Well, yes, but I already know all this. Helion wouldn’t have mentioned it to me if there wasn’t more. So please, Lucien—” Elain let go of one of his hands, placing a finger on his lips. “— won’t you tell me?”

He closed his eyes, taking in a deep breath, cursing his father inwards. Lucien had planned to tell Elain the whole story of the Red Palace eventually as a part of a grand romantic gesture to celebrate the anniversary of their mating. He still had a treasure trove of ideas for the date proper, but it would require some maneuvering and improvisation. Perhaps he ought to ask Nuan for — no, she would just murder him for the added commission in her already full agenda. Vassa and Elain’s sisters, then.

And his mother, if only so she could give Helion grief for ruining his carefully laid plans.

“I didn’t mean to keep it a secret,” he said, “but the right time to speak about it was never right. Not for me, in any case.” Lucien waited to see if she was going to say anything, but Elain only watched him with her honey gaze, patient and attentive. “Right. So, many centuries ago, long before the war, one of my ancestors, High Lord Hyperion, was arranged to marry a Princess from the continent, Nahida. Their partnership wasn’t a happy one at first. Nahida didn’t speak our dialect, nor did she know much about the Day Court and its traditions. No matter how much her husband tried, she felt like an outsider in what was supposed to be her new home.”

Elain gulped, lower lip trembling. Lucien raised his hand, tucking a stray strand of her hair behind her ear.

“Hyperion was an honorable man, determined to keep his vows to the Mother to love and cherish his wife. But how could he, when Nahida had wrapped herself so thoroughly in her own misery, not allowing anyone close? There had to be something he could do. Hyperion went to the Oracle of Mount Astreus, the highest of peaks between Day and Night, and asked how he could show his wife his sincerity? But you know how prophecy works.”

“A riddle wrapped inside an enigma encased in a question,” she agreed with a wet laugh. 

“Yes, and one even Hyperion, with all his libraries and knowledge under his domain, couldn’t unveil. It was not until he saw Nahida gazing wistfully at a desiccated lotus, the symbol of her homeland, that he understood that more than anything, his wife missed her home. He wrote to his sister-in-law, asking for her best architects and masons. Hyperion had the Red Palace built in secret and after it was done, he brought Nahida here.”

“And what did she say? What was her reaction?”

“By then, years had passed them by and Nahida had learned the language of her new home, if not perfectly. She was speechless, at first, staring at this little piece of her homeland nestled on the slope of the hill, but when Hyperion went to his knees before his knees and poured his heart out, Nahida broke down into sobs. She threw her arms around him and they both cried for all the time they had lost. Then, they decided to make the most of the years ahead, to fill this palace with happiness and laughter and joy. My family likes to say that the magic of their promise will cling to these walls until we are no more.”

“Oh Lucien,” Elain pressed her eyes close, tears streaming down her cheeks. “I didn’t know. I shouldn’t have pushed.”

“I know you didn’t. I had a whole plan to tell you about it, or at least the beginnings of one.” He offered her a tremulous smile. 

“I would have liked to see it too.” She bit her lip and glanced at him from under her thick eyelashes. “Will you pretend you never told me this story and tell me again the way you planned? All your plans for the future, all your hopes, and dreams, all the magic in these halls — will you share it with me? ” 

“Only for you, Elain,” he whispered reverently against her lips, wiping away a tear with his thumb. “Only for you.”

[angelanatel]

Asherah, o nome semita da Grande Deusa, cuja origem difere de Astarte, foi "em sabedoria a Senhora dos Deuses", chamada pelos sumérios Ashnan de "a força de todas as coisas", uma "gentil e bela donzela". Os cananeus a chamavam de "Ela que dá à luz os Deuses" e como a "Senhora que pisa o Mar" ela é a Deusa do Mar e da Lua. No Antigo Testamento, ela é identificada com seus bosques sagrados. El com chifres é o sábio o benéfico "Ancião dos Dias”, o Deus progenitor castrado por Ba'al guerreiro.

As Divindades eram adoradas coletivamente como o El. El também é identificável com o tipo de Deus avô de Canaã. Ele é o "antigo dos dias". Mais tarde ele é emasculado pelo verdejante guerreiro Deus Ba'al. Os Elohim incluíram duas formas da Deusa, como mostrado na bênção de Jacó das doze tribos (Gn 49): “Mesmo pelo Deus de teu pai que te ajudará, e por El -Shaddai, que te abençoará com as bênçãos do céu em cima, bênçãos do fundo que está debaixo, bênçãos do seio e do ventre (Asherah - a criadora dos seres vivos)”. Muitos componentes da mitologia do Gênesis, incluindo o Éden, Árvore da Vida, a inundação, são provenientes da Suméria. A Suméria tem seu próprio mito de inundação e há relíquias de uma grande inundação no início da história de Ur. O "carneiro na mata" é também um motivo encontrado em Ur, assim como o "bezerro de ouro" cujos chifres simbolizam a lua de volta aos tempos paleolíticos.

On Happiness and Home

Lady with grain stems caught in her hair, Lady with strong hands for kneading dough, Lady with strong arms for the dough-shovel, Lady with sun-darkened skin and oven-fires caught in her eyes, Lady whose finery is a worker's tunic, Lady whose perfume is sweetwort and honey, Your voice is the music of flowing beer, Your laughter the chuckle of a clay bottle. Come home from your circling dance around the fire, Passing hand to hand and lips to lips! Come home from the young lioness's roaring tavern, From the kissing of wounds, from the heat of the sun. Ninkasi who gladdens the heart, come home! You are expected, awaited, beloved. Your strong hands have browned like good bread in the sun, And they slide over the pale skin of a fine noblewoman. Her milk-pale skin like fine holy linen, Her slender arms like slim reeds full of grace. Fingers calloused from the churning dough-shovel Twine with long digits like fragile spiders, Graceful ivory combs that spin long hair into art. She is quiet where you are joyful, She is delicate where you are vivacious, Yet her skill speaks with a voice as complex as poetry, As colorful as a tavern tale And just as clever in her transformation. Press your glad mouth to her buttoned lip, Lady. Let Uttu weave your black, barley-flecked hair. Lahar and Ashnan look upon you and smile, Emesh and Enten break bread under your roof, For what has more beauty than such perfect union Of a glad heart and a beautiful wife?

May Uttu be praised, may the name of Ninkasi be honey on my lips, And for the pen of her servant may Nisaba be praised.

——— *I wrote this with a heaping spoonful of UPG. There is no historical evidence for Ninkasi being gay for Uttu. Cool? Cool. Sumerian wives did brew beer though, as far as I can tell. **Lahar, the 'sheep' god notably referenced in the debate between Sheep and Grain, is heavily important to Uttu the goddess of weaving, just as Ashnan the grain goddess is important to Ninkasi, who is the brewer and the beer. ***Emesh, the god of 'summer', and Enten, the god of 'winter', as seen in the debate between Summer and Winter, both have a great deal to do with grain and livestock. From what I can tell by making inferences from other cultures, Summer is the time for brewing and Winter is the time for weaving, and it seemed significant enough that I had to include them.

“...cheerful Enlil...“

“Enlil, the eminent one, the sovereign lord, whose utterance is trustworthy; Nunamnir, the eternal shepherd of the Land, who hails from the great mountain; the great counsellor, the first and foremost in heaven and on earth, who is in control of all the divine powers; lord, who is imbued with great fearsomeness in accordance with his nobility, a perfected heavenly star, who takes good care of the primeval and choice divine powers, who alone is the lofty god; lord, life-giving light, who leads the people all over the world along one track.”

Enlil in the world of The Flower from Tiamat's Fire

Enlil is a member of the Five and a powerful air mage. Lately he has been suffering from illness, which some attribute to his old age. He is in a very close relationship with Shamash.

Centuries ago, he stood alongside Enki, Shamash, Ishtar and Ereshkigal in the fight against Tiamat. Ultimately sending her to sleep, Enlil has been ruling the world alongside Enki, Shamash, Ishtar and Kingu since then.

His relationship with Shamash is not monogamous. In the past they both were in a relationship with Iyar. But it has to be said, it was in no way a healthy one.

Enlil in mythology

Like Enki, Enlil is a very important god in Sumerian mythology. He is the god of the wind, air and the ruler of Earth. Enlil is the one who separated the sky (An) from the earth (Ki) which is why he was viewed as its ruler. Enlil is the decreer of fates, possessor of the Tablet of Destinies. Alongside Enki he is also called the Abundance giver. He is also sometimes called Nunamnir.

With Enki and An they make up the supreme triad of gods in Sumerian mythology, but it is undoubtedly Enlil whose worship was the most prominent. He is the patron deity of Nippur, where the main seat of his worship was. His temple there was called Mountain House.

Ruins of Enlil's ziggurat in Nippur

The name Enlil is usually translated as Lord Wind, but the meaning Lord Phantom, while also possible, doesn’t add up with the deity´s role.

Enlil is cited as the creator of the pickaxe. He established abundance and prosperity in the land, and it is both Enlil and Enki send the cattle-god (Labar) and the grain-goddess (Ashnan) from heaven to earth in order to make abundant its cattle and grain.

But Enlil is not always benevolent. As he gave abundance, he also took it when displeased. He caused the great flood to exterminate humanity when people became too noisy/overpopulated. If it wasn’t for Enki warning Ziusudra/Utnapishtim/Atrahasis then all of humanity would have died.

Enlil, while known for “taking Ki (earth) for himself” after separating her from An (sky), is the husband of the goddess Ninlil. With her he had: Nanna (Sin), Nergal, Ninazu, Enbilulu, Ninğirsu/Ninurta,…

Weekly Wikipedia Repair Roundup

Kusu, Enlil’s court exorcist (not his sister, the other one). Associated with ducks in a late text. New page.

Ezina/Ashnan, a grain goddess associated with Kusu. Actually one of the most ancient deities attested in writing, unexpectedly.

Sadarnunna, wife of Nuska. New page.

Ninti, mother of Ninkasi. No offense but I have no idea why multiple versions of Wikipedia try to connect her to Eve. She was not made from a rib. She has nothing to do with ribs outside a single myth which is literally scribal wordplay.

Haya, husband of Nisaba, father in law of Enlil.

Ennugi, have to be honest, might be Enlil’s most boring underling. He’s the creator of grubs though, I suppose that is something.

Nuska, Enlil’s sukkal.

Siris, beer goddess. Not Ninkasi, the other one. As a bonus - Eblaite and Ugaritic deities with cognate names, who are confusingly linked to wine, not beer.

Lisin, goddess turned god. Hobbies include mourning and, apparently, burning things in exorcisms. A lament focused on her blames Ninhursag for the death of her son but somehow this does not define anyone’s perception of Ninhursag the way Inanna’s Descent does for Inanna. Also, the article is now over twent times the size it was before.

Inzak, the main god of Dilmun. Yeah, that thing in the infobox is most likely a foot.

Ninsikila, Lisin’s husband turned Lisin’s wife. New page.

Meskilak, goddess from Dilmun. Responsible for Ninsikila’s gender change. New page.

The post is a day late because I figured I should finish the last 3 articles at the same time for practical reasons. Even with that taken into account, this was my most productive week in a long while.
