Day 14: Nobility . Count Verandis Ravenwatch.

[soullessbullshit]

Gwendis: Do we really force you to do things you don't want to do?

Fennorian: Yeah, but it's okay.

Verandis: How is it okay?

Fennorian: I promised myself if I ever got a family I'd do whatever they said. Really, I'm lucky you found me before a cult did.

I thought I had convinced my friend/coworker to at least watch someone play ESO because there's a bunch of voice actors in it who are also in BEASTARS (esp. Jonah Scott (Verandis) and Griffin Puatu (Bastian))-

...but then I showed her some screenshots of them and she said, and I quote, "Eugh, no, I don't like that aesthetic."

I am so hurt 😭😭😭

Ok, so Adusa-daro is said to be "of his blood", speaking of Count Verandis, right? But we see him sworn never to turn anyone in his Montclair memories. And as far as I can tell, she doesn't know about his Grey Council past. But Gwendis says something about I know he had a past "before he found me", which suggests that's when the current rules of House Ravenwatch were created. And Adusa-daro says she traved with others before joining House Ravenwatch.

So it seems like the timeline goes Grey Council breakup -> turning Adusa -> separation from Adusa -> finding Gwendis -> founding House Ravenwatch -> recruiting Fennorian

I have no idea how long went between each event but the way Fenn both considers Verandis a father figure and also is nervous about seeing him again in Markarth makes me wonder just how recently he has joined. Given he is an altmer, even without the immortal vampire bit, recently for him could still be quite a while I guess?

I may continue burbling about this sometime when it isn't midnight, who knows

Happy Hearts Day from Verandis!

Made myself sad thinking about Verandis so now I need to share:

The Gray Host were 'defeated' in 1E 1029 - so Verandis would have left them some time before then.

The events of ESO take place in 2E 582 - some 2,473 years later (if I understand the maths of the Elder Scrolls timekeeping - feel free to correct me).

We don't know exactly when Verandis started taking in other vampires. Adusa in particular has very little to indicate how long she's been part of the Ravenwatch. But Gwendis is a relatively new addition given how Rivenspire plot dialogue tends to paint her as inexperienced and only just out of being actively trained and mentored. I imagine Melina probably joined shortly after, given the tone of her enchanter hireling letters. Fennorian we can pin down a little more - the Meet the Character short confirms he was brought in after Gwendis, and within a relatively short amount of time (it's vague, but multiple visits from the narrator implies months, perhaps a year, but unlikely much more than that) was investigating Unhallowed Grave. And of course, every other named vampire is someone the Vestige spares and guides towards the Ravenwatch, so we know exactly when they show up. Regardless of exact timing, the Ravenwatch as a group is a relatively new concept.

This implies that either: Verandis has been entirely alone for over two thousand years or that any previous attempts to rehabilitate vampires have failed (either by them being killed or by them failing to uphold their oaths). Either scenario is pretty tragic anyway.

Then consider that he has only managed to successfully form this family in the last...hundred years, maybe? And that's only if we assume Adusa is pretty old, but she really isn't giving us much to go on. Everyone else joined the Ravenwatch probably within the last decade, most far more recently than even that. He has had a family of his own for such a short amount of time, and then he sacrifices himself to keep everyone safe. And sure, he gets to come back, but then he's forcibly separated from them by the tether to the Dark Heart. He might still be around, he can be visited, but he can't ever live with his family. And they can't live with him.

I've always wanted to write a gothic horror themed fanfic, and replaying the Dark Heart of Skyrim gave me so much ideas and inspo.

So I made it! Enjoy

Ya don't say?

Alternative version of the commission for @adores-many-cats 🦵

[soullessbullshit]

Verandis: We call that a traumatic experience.

Verandis, turning to Adusa: Not a "bruh moment."

Verandis, turning to Gwendis: Not "sadge."

Verandis, turning to Cassian: And definitely not an "oof lmao."

[madamefluffnstuff]

Why is Fennorian sitting on the ground tied up??? I turn my back to talk to Gwendis and next thing I know he's like this? Love, I don't think you're going to help us in that position.

Sliiiiiight spoilers for the Greymoor/Markarth DLC below the cut-

Some of my favorite early shots of my FINISHED Verandis Pawn. Since Zenimax STILL hasn’t given us CGI Vranny, here’s the next best thing, guys.

Will post more soon!

Capcom, oh Capcom, please let me romance my Main Pawn…

Oh and if you change his facial hair, you pretty much get Castlevania Dracula, lmao.
