Cinalu and Trahearne met during the personal story on Claw Island. During their time leading the Pact, Trahearne developed a crush somewhat quickly and accidentally made his feelings known before the Source of Orr story mission. Cinalu was hard to read and so he didn’t know if he’d overstepped or not, but while he was recovering from cleansing Orr and the Pact was preparing it’s assault on Zhaitan, she confessed to him. She didn’t want to regret anything in case she did die during Zhaitan. There was a level of understanding between the two, both of them being closed off and emotionally inept. Trahearne lacked people he was genuinely close with, so when Cinalu expressed her belief in him and offered her unconditional support, he couldn’t help but fall head over heels for her.

They started to actually date after the Zhaitan campaign, but they didn’t get to see each other very often due to Cinalu’s line of work taking her all across Tyria and Trahearne’s keeping him bound to Orr. The events of LWS1 didn’t help with that, but after the Tower of Nightmares was dealt with, they got married. It wasn’t a ceremony though, wanting it to be over and done with, especially since their relationship was a secret(a very open secret but still). They had been together for around a year at that point and while they hadn’t seen each other much, they wrote to one and other as often as they could manage.

Cinalu choosing to not kill him during HoT put some strain on their relationship through LWS3-PoF. Trahearne was in a coma for about a year or so after the events of HoT, but when he woke up he was upset. The choice to keep him alive was alarmingly selfish coming from Cinalu and now they have no idea if Mordremoth will come back using Trahearne as a vessel, something that he will be worried about for the rest of his life, but Trahearne doesn’t want to be upset with her either because he knows it was unfair to ask that of her. During this time Cinalu is trying to distract herself, mostly through Aurene and LWS3’s events. Trahearne gets to meet Aurene, having a strong connection with her not only through Cinalu, but also through Mordremoth’s magic. He’s actually the main person watching over Aurene during everything with ‘Lazarus’.

While their relationship is tense, Trahearne refuses to let Cinalu face Balthazar alone. While Cinalu doesn’t want him to come due to the state he’s in, she realizes she can’t really stop him. During this time, Trahearne isn’t mean to her, but he is somewhat distant, at least until she dies. Once Balthazar kills Cinalu, Trahearne feels horrible for a number of reasons, trying his best to support her, but also growing more protective over her.

LWS4 was the lowest Cinalu has ever been, Trahearne being her main pillar of support. When Aurene dies, it’s the first time Trahearne ever sees her cry, but it’s also when they air out most of their baggage. If you’re going to die might as well not be upset at your partner, right?

Trahearne took a bit more of a leading role in IBS, taking some of the weight off of Cinalu’s shoulders. It’s also when they have their first real fight, Trahearne being upset with her carelessness since her death and Cinalu feeling like she’s being patronized by him. They sort through it like adults though, both admitting they were more affected by her death than either let on.

They grew somewhat domestic between EoD and SotO, Trahearne helping Cinalu through her paranoia and emptiness after the end of the dragon cycle and Cinalu keeping their lives interesting and reigniting Trahearne’s love of all things scholarly by exploring Tyria together.

Anyways this is a giant text wall so here’s some art

Hey GW2 community!

I want to hear about your OC x NPC ships.

Tell me how they met,how their relationship developed, how they interact, their tragedies and triumphs. Do they have any kids? Are they just starting their relationship? I want to hear literally everything 💙

Bonus points for sharing art of your ship!! 👀🥰

ya ever think about sylvari... how do they do deal with heat control?

do they run fevers? do they get heat stroke/heat exhaustion/hypothermia? if they do, how do they regulate their temperature? do they sweat? if they do, is it sap? do they have an internal heating system? are they warm or cold blooded?

i like to think they're like lizards. they're cold blooded, so they're fine in hot conditions, but the cold slows them down to sluggish levels.

These took longer to finish than I meant them too but I got very into them and had to stop myself from going overboard hsdkjhdk. I’m very happy with how these came out though! I had a lot of fun at this month’s art party! Seeing all of the beautiful characters and the Wall of Charr was so good! I managed to get all but Soundless Kiri’s @ so if anyone could tag them that would be awesome!

Okay obvious but- Trahearne and Cinalu. During the personal story he's around 6'8ish(I like to think he's pretty tall due to being the first of the firstborn so), but Cinalu is 9'5. Then Trahearne gets a bit taller post HoT due to Moredremoth's magic, so now he's about 7 feet tall, but even still that only brings him to around Cinalu's upper chest. So Cinalu is just a tad giant and on the larger scare for norn(though I head canon norn can be as tall as 10 feet, it's just rare). It's a bit hard for them kiss since Trahearne has to be on the tips of his feet while Cinalu has to lean pretty far down. On the plus side, it's very nice for cuddling

Not very good at drawing their size difference but here are my more accurate doodles?:

What would Evielrian think of Cinalu?? 👀

I think Evielrian would also respect Cinalu. For her victories in battles and her strength. But also, she would consider her too soft and boring to communicate as friends. Although she likes that she can also make sarcastic jokes and stand up for herself.

* Evielrian is not the nicest person. She has a certain image of a fighter in her head, this is a ruthless killer who will destroy everything in his path without thinking about the consequences
