#because sunnabela was looking great

[littlegalerion]

Skyrim just glicthed so hard that I might have to restart this character...and I had completely finished the civil war questline too.

I just wanted to do "Blood on Ice" to get my favorite house, saved before trying to rob the actual killer because, as we all know, his house becomes impossible to get back in after he dies. So I wanted to bust into his chest to get his other journal, but it requires his key only. To do that I got to pick pocket the key.

After many failed attempts, I gave up and decided to just finish the quest. I can't. Now the quest is glitched like I never talked to him, but I DID talk to him, like the game is acting like I did both and not offering me any prompts to move forward.

On top of that, I have anniversary edition, but nothing from it has popped up whatsoever. I even sought out the content directly, looked it up, and it wasn't there. Looked up help online and yeah, it's a big glitch where a quest giver just doesn't spawn in.

Frustration can not begin to explain what I feel right now.

Canon Five Brothers Facts:

Because I am bored and stuck with a headcold.

To be clear, I'm referring to my canon TES timeline with all my OCs, and Trechire's five sons: Fennorian, Rinyu, Mavos, Sunnabela, and Kirr.

Straight Facts:

Fennorian and Rinyu have always been close, ever since Rinyu was the one who uncovered the truth about Fenn. Rinyu was the one who pushed to bring Fenn into the family, despite Trechire being mortified that Raveoov would finally find Fenn and lure him into necromancy. But Rinyu loved having a brother, a grown brother, and trusted Fenn's judgement. In the end, Fenn did resist Raveoov's attempts, and is now a happy part of the family.

The OG crew was Fenn, Rinyu, and Bastian. When "Blackwood" took place, Rinyu had just gotten Fenn to stick around, and the two explored Cryodiil together just for kicks. They met Bastian, and recruited him into their group. It was just three dudes riding around and having fun for the next ten years- after the whole invasion thing ended, of course.

When Mavos was born, Fenn and Rinyu begged Trechire to let him be raised in Tamriel, not on Artaeum like Rinyu had. Both even promised they'd stay around 24/7 to help protect him if need be. Trechire finally caved- she can never resist for too long if multiple sons give her puppy eyes- and Mavos was raised in Rimmen.

Mavos was the first of Trechire's sons to be raised somewhat "normally", which was ironic considering he's a demigod. He was in full contact with his grandparents, his brothers, his mother, and got to have a childhood among other children. He lacked a father figure, but that didn't seem to bother him much.

Upon becoming an adult, Mavos was more like their mother than any of the other boys. He liked his privacy, and often choose to be alone for hours or even days at a time, only to pop back into family gatherings like nothing happened. He would normally either be with their mother or on Artaeum.

Mavos heavily considered becoming a lycan like Trechire, or vamperic like his two brothers. In the end, Aithilo, his other half brother, convinced him not too.

Mavos always loved Aithilo and honestly treated him like a warped father/brother figure. Aithilo was always...unsure of what to feel. Trechire had been like a godchild to him, and looking upon Mavos only reminded him that his blood father had, as Aithilo put it, "taken advantage of the Vestige in her weakest moments". He didn't blame Mavos, just it was always a touch jarring. Especially when Mavos became able to read prophecies.

By the time Sunny and Kirr came into play, all three older brothers were seasoned like their mother- ya know, with emotional trauma due to the world ending multiple times but they were there with a huge band-aide to fix it. This is the exact opposite of what Trechire wanted but she had no control.

Rinyu was worst off, due to Jagar Tharn. By the events of "Oblivion" he had only just begun to "heal". Fenn and Mavos had been worried sick for decades, unable to help as their brother had drifted in and out of just...it was just bad.

When Sunny was returned to them, the entire family was overjoyed, even Rinyu. It was the most unexpected moment, even if Aithilo and Mavos had both forseen it. Even they had refused to believe it. Rinyu came out of his funk, ready to again play protector if need be, like he had w ith Mavos.

By now, Eliindil had married Trechire, so Sunny did immediately have a father figure.

Who then became Sheogorath near a year later.

And then Kirr came along the year after, the demiprince.

Sunny had no trouble being raised in the Isles partially, then also in Tamriel. His and Kirr's lives consisted of travel, being raised by their parents in the Shivering Isles, and then babysat by their brothers wherever they happened to be.

They even got to be on Artaeum sometimes, though Mavos soon insisted against that as he didn't lile the way some Psijics treated Kirr.

Kirr grew to become a demiprince that could inspire great creative breakthroughs, in all sorts of studies or hobbies, just by being in his company.

Sadly this was a double edged sword, as while so many mortals would quickly grow in thier skill or passion when with him, Kirr had to go at a normal pace. It frustrated him to no end.

For this reason Sunny never played the lute around him, no matter how many bursts if inspiration he got. He would stay and talk to Kirr about whatever Kirr wanted to talk about.

Sunnabela is a patient, intelligent, and relaxed mer. He is considerate, observant, and puts his family before himself. Its worried Rinyu for a while, as he's watched closely. While Fenn was the eldest, it was Rinyu who had first made them a true "family". He had been just like Sunny once. He knew exactly what sort of pressure the mer would place on himself if given the chance.

And that chance came as Sunny, again like Rinyu, was revealed to be Dragonborn.

At first Rinyu was selfish. He didn't react, and chose to ignore whatever trouble Sunny and Kirr faced on their path through Skyrim. He didn't want the pressure again. He had served his time as a hero, had everything taken from him and torn apart. He could rest now- it was Sunny's turn.

But when Kirr betrayed Sunny, taking the staff of Magnus and leaving Sunny trapped behind in the dungeon, Rinyu realized what he had done. Kirr had acted out of frustration and a thirst to be validated, just as Rinyu had when he had first engaged his Tharn relatives.

Kirr didn't leave Sunny to die, just kept him at bay so Kirr could play the only hero, and force the Psijics to respect him after he saved the College. He fully planned on coming back to release Sunny after.

Rinyu found Sunny first, and the two made it to the College just as Kirr lost control as Ancano became basically untouchable. He was drawing the inspiration and breakthrough buff from Kirr and using it against him, which Kirr hadn't taken into account could happen.

Rinyu defeated Ancano, and everything was made right. Kirr apologized, Sunny apologized, Rinyu apologized, there were a lot of apologizes.

They departed the College in a party of four- Rinyu, Inigo, Sunny, and Kirr. All ready to face Alduin and the rest of what Skyrim had in store for them.

As for what Fenn and Mavos were doing around this time:

Fenn was the Head of the Ravenwatch, and now had full time duties with them. He visited when he could, but otherwise stayed in touch via letters or message stones.

Mavos was with Aithilo, both of them studying the timeline. They were afraid another dragonbreak would be on its way, and after the chaos of the last one, which resulted in Mannimarco becoming a god, they decided it was best they actively step in this time if it happened.
