Spell circle for a descendant of Moriaen to show up in Oathbound. I got so damn excited when he was mentioned, that we'd get a Black knight who's carried on the legacy come in (was hoping Bree was his descendant before I finished Legendborn). Was hoping Bree could have some more Black friends who are fighting this war against the Shadowborn but...like, he was just a single quick mention by Lord Davis and now...nothing? We set up an African knightly hero and just dropped him?? Huh???

I can't believe *I* was the one who had to give him a page on the wiki and no one is talking about him.

Not to dog on romance, but this is what you get when the main focus of a story is a love-triangle :( the really cool world building and themes and side characters are just completely ignored in favor of 'oohh isn't so and so soooo hot with Bree???'

Please, I'm starving for African knight content over here in the BLACK Arthurian story! How is that possible?? Don't give me a taste of people fighting this battle not connected to the Order then ignore them!!

#legendborn #oathbound #bloodmarked #moriaen legendborn #give me some POC knights g-damnit!#we were introducing new factions in bloodmarked and no mention of African knights who have been fighting this war just like European knight #there's so much rich lore we could be exploring alongside Bree's issues #Valec was the most interesting character in the book because his life didn't solely revolve around Bree - he had his own shit going on #ppl have lives and goals outside the MC - I need authors to remember that #it makes the world so much more fleshed out - you can't just mention an African knight and then DROP HIM!!#show how ppl outside the racist Order have been holding back the darkness too! The Order shouldn't be the only people protecting innocents!
