Soren is one of my favorite characters of all time (and tied w/ Dimi for my fav FE character) because he’s like. Really really funny if you think about it. This prince of two nations with draconic heritage and a tragic backstory isn’t only not the main character, but also you can go through the whole of Tellius learning very little about him if you so choose. HE doesn’t even really give a shit about where he came from he just wants to be w/ Ike. I feel like in any other FE game and most JRPGs in general his backstory would graduate him to significant plot point at least but Tellius is so based that it’s like nah. Like don’t get me wrong Soren is super important to understanding parts of the story (Why Rajaion ended up in Ashnard’s clutches, the whole branded debacle, Almedha’s *actual child*) but he’s never the focus. I just think that’s awesome. Of course it means like a bunch of people have some terrible takes but I guess that’s the price for having a rly cool character. I love Soren he’s so epic. He’s even gay

from left to right: the textures used by Giffca when transformed in Radiant Dawn and Path of Radiance, and the textures used by Caineghis when transformed in Radiant Dawn

Today's episode of I Might Actually Turn Into the Joker for Real This Time is brought to you by Giffca having the same marking on his body in fe9 as Caineghis does in fe10. Also for some reason he's wearing the clasp Caineghis uses to wear his mantle (compare the far right part of the textures on the bottom row) (on both models, this particular piece of geometry appears around their neck).

Our only point of reference for what the markings should be is the artbooks (which are curated after the fact and as such do not necessarily convey the intent on PoR's release), where there's concept art of both Giffca's and Caineghis' markings and they correspond 1:1 to their RD textures. Off the top of my head, this could mean several possible things:

Giffca's PoR textures are an error and he was always meant to have his RD textures

Giffca's (transformed) design was intentionally changed between fe9 and fe10.

Between fe9 and fe10 they realized they wanted to use those markings for Caineghis instead, and changed Giffca to accommodate that, possibly not expecting anyone to notice.

Caineghis was meant to be playable in PoR instead of Giffca. Giffca was changed to be Gallia's Gotoh late in development, and they didn't have time to create/design completely new textures and either deliberately repurposed Caineghis' or forgot to change the markings in the rush to finish the game. (Caineghis has unused bases/growths and a map model in PoR, which could also be a result of this)

Giffca, as an entire character, was added late in PoR's development and they either didn't have time to create/design new textures and either deliberately repurposed Caineghis' or forgot to change the markings in the rush to finish the game.

Giffca, as he appears during Repatriation, was actually Caineghis in disguise.

I really don't like the way you say a Laguz is "dead" or not a Laguz anymore if it can't transform. You'd be bothered if somebody said a person died or became less than human if they were paraplegic or severely mentally handicapped, right?

Good thing that people transforming in animals who lose said ability because they got a mixed-race baby don't exist in real life right ?

I'm sure the argument of "you'll be crippled if you get a baby with people X" was used in nauseabond RL circles during darker ages, but I'm sure that's not the kind of comparison you wanted to make anon !

Death is of course a metaphor, Almedha and Lehran are still alive and kicking through FE9 and FE10.

However, through the course of those games, if you played them or watched a lp, players realise that Laguz identity is tied to their ability to use their respective powers, in opposition to beorcs who don't have the same abilities.

A Laguz is thus a human who can transform in a bestial form and use their inherent power. Laguz societies put a lot of emphasis on this ability to transform and the inherent "strength" of their kin that we are told they base some system of government according to it (strongest becomes king).

(don't ask me why Tellius devs decided to tackle the "good savage" trope by having literal animal people, but it sure was a decision)

Now, Almedha and Lehran cannot transform anymore.

They cannot use their powers anymore (Lehran's inability to sing, thus fulfil his part of the promise to the goddess was one of the reasons behind his initial mental breakdown !).

They have, as Tibarn notes it, no scent anymore : I don't think scent here means what kind of perfume they're using, but something more in the lines that their core being changed and he, as a Laguz, cannot recognise it to the point where he's confused and wonders if she's a beorc or, neither beorc nor laguz...

As someone with chronic illness, I do not think I'm less than human because a pair of lungs don't define identity or "humanity", but in the Tellius world, for Laguz, being able to use their various powers define who they are.

Deghinsea is blunt like a hammer, alas he's not wrong : Lehran "lost" his "birthright" and this loss isn't treated like Largo's loss of his arm.

Short story : Laguz who hold hands with Beorcs and get a kid will lose all (but not the ability to use a sending Stone ?) of their powers and while they feel like they are no "true" Laguz anymore, the other Laguz can't recognise them as kin either.

Irl people who deny humanity to people who are, in your own words, "paraplegic or severely mentally handicapped" are pieces of crap and, imo, should be avoided at all costs, but we're not talking about irl, but about the fictional setting of Tellius that I find more and more shitty with the years.

In Tellius, a Laguz who fucks a Beorc, for themselves and for the rest of the world (hell even with their world's mechanics, iirc Sephiran loses the wind weakness bird laguz have ?), stop being Laguz, i.e. as a Laguz, they effectively die.

Laguz who turn feral and have their minds erased can still, thanks to herons, switch between forms (Rajaion).

Almedha cannot.

Laguz who were tortured and lost, due to said torture, the ability to use their wings, still can use their powers and transform (Rafiel).

Lehran cannot.

I'd be very happy, anon, if a future remake tweaked the ending for those characters and pulled some shit like "with the support of his friends and family, and mayhap the help of the goddesses he so faithfully served, Lehran finally managed to hum a galdr" and something similar with Almedha.

It would lessen, somewhat, the main plot sink of that verse that can be, and was, summed up as "Racism bad, but miscgenation bad too :S"

Hi, wow it's so nice and cool of you to scan these beautiful books! can you get a close up scan of the soren unused sprites and concept arts? It's impossible to find them in high quality (there's a specific one i can dm you what page its on if you need)

Any and all of the Soren pages ( PoR concept, RD concept, his profile pages, Ike and soren relationship/ support, soren sprite page) if you don't mind, would be so appreciated!

And dm me if you'd like me to draw you something in return as thanks! No rush!

Thank you so much for waiting! My scanner was giving me some problems.

From Volume 2:

Let me know if there's any other pages you wanted to see!

I am *so* thrilled to be finally able to share me and my lil team's contribution for @telliusbigbang ! It's been an amazing and wonderful time and I hope y'all enjoy!

Titania's perception and compassion have extended to any and all who have come into the Greil Mercenaries' care - be it those they have helped, or those they have employed. Her kindness is easy and calming, and proves to be a true light in the dark that comes with the loss of their founding commander. With the family she's found working their way through his loss and into a war, it's all she can do to maintain what's left.

Art by @jerrom as well as @tallgreenlady in chapter 2, and a piece in each 3 and 4 by @larachelledrawsfe as well!

I originally started this Ike painting last year, but after a certain point I was absolutely stumped on what to do for the background. Ike taking up a good portion of the canvas didn’t help.

My sister and I were finally able to get our hands on a copy of Path of Radiance near the end of 2023, and it helped me finally get an idea for his background. So now the painting looks like Ike going back to reflect on some of his memories from when his journey first started.

His canvas is a panel 4” x 4.” He’s for sale for $20 and shipping as well! DM me if you’re interested!

can they bring back picnic banners.. please............

tellius worldbuilding is funny because the divine right of kings is undeniably real because being king comes with tangible blessings but it's also vague enough that elected officials still count as kings for the purposes of getting those blessings from the goddess
