#but everytime i see him depicted as an athletic dumbass it just sort of rips me from all the immersion that world builds up

[hofftrans]

personal pet peeve but I hate when nerevar is depicted as some kind of wholesome himbo because like. my guy was a war general. he literally led a full-scale war against another culture for what are pre religiously charged reasons as well as being a member of a council which included like several experts on magic, war tactics, art, philosophy, engineering etc

like idk I just struggle to find any nerevar believable that isn't a bit smart and also a bit of a horrific war criminal
