Gimme 5 and 13 for the commander asks! /dab @ratasum

ren again for the gyala delve situation that's off-canon <3

5. Did they canonically eat all the weird foods at the hero points?

nope. she just looked the other way like a normal person. she wasn't even tempted - though she did remember a time in her life where she was starving on the streets and any food would've done it, but she also likes to think she is above it sometimes.

13. Who did your commander see in their hallucination in Gyala Delve?

since in my canon, sieran and tybalt aren't dead, and she doesn't have a relationship with destiny's edge or trahearne, she actually saw her old self! aka the person she was before she became renira sulver - the little girl, vera belenne-svetovid, that she was before she became renira at 16 years old. what's kinda creepy here is that the order, before all the cosmetic surgeries to change the way she looks, actually did their best to make her forget how she (vera) looked like. so in ren's head, vera is.. faceless.

and she kept hallucinating this faceless entity that was her but also isn't her, with a noose around her neck (bc she'd been sentenced to hang and rescued night before the execution.) she also kept radiating a huge fucking quantity of abaddon energy - you know, the dead human god abaddon - that she'd been blessed by at birth, one of the last few humans alive to be so. she found this out during a trip to siren's landing with nyra in season 3, but none of them told anyone about this and now everyone knows bc abaddon energy is fighting the demon energy to protect the secrets...

gyala was a fun time for her for sure lmao
