A New Home

@morweekofficial day 2: home

after mor is found at the autumn/winter border the high lord of night initially agrees to let her stay in the family home in velaris until she is healed. when tensions between him and keir start to escalate over his errant daughter's whereabouts, the high lord chooses his steward over his niece and sends mor into exile in the winter court. while she is not allowed to return to the night court or see her family as long as the old high lord still lives, she finds a new purpose in winter.

staying with one of the high lord's closest advisors, she is finally allowed to pick up a sword herself and train with the warriors of the winter court army, which has always allowed females to join. she learns to master her powers and finds her true strength. in the war against hybern she fights for her new home, the winter court, joining the alliance of day, night and dawn on the continent. when she returns, she is legend. she is the morrigan. every child in winter knows her name.

in winter, she also finds one of her closest companions outside of the night court in viviane, her host's young daughter whom she gets to see grow up after the war and whom she loves like a sister, as well as viviane's friend kallias, the younger brother of the winter court's general.

she only returns to the night court after her uncle, aunt and cousin die and rhysand, now high lord of night, asks her to come back and help him rebuild their court of dreams.

mor's dress here is inspired by some traditional mongolian clothing. i pull most of my inspiration for winter court styles from inuit, sámi and mongolian culture. i see her picking up red as her signature color in the winter court specifically because of how much the red stands out against the white snow.

"I'd known it lurked beneath the surface, but here was The Morrigan. The female who had fought in the War. Who knew how to end lives with blade and magic. "

This piece of warrior Mor by @/tomandosal, commissioned by @/claufromvelaris (link to post here) is so beautiful because it shows Mor as more than a pretty woman in red who drinks wine. She's a powerful warrior in her own right, and we can't wait to see more of her and her ferocity 🔥

Prompts for Mor Week 2024 are coming out this week! Stay tuned, and we hope to see you on November 10th!

Deep in the heart of the human lands, past the walls no Fae have crossed in centuries, tucked away in the royal gardens of one kingdom, lies a statue.

A relic from many generations ago, it has survived remarkably well. They— the studious groundskeepers and few nobles who come upon it— say that little is known about the curious monument with no known names or titles. Most suspect it to be a statement to the near-immortal race the humans had fought and won their freedom from in the War. Some even boasting that they knew it to be stolen from the Fae before the Wall went up. A trophy with a message carved into the stone should those cursed creatures ever set sight upon it again.

But it was none of those things.

A secret commission by Queen Andromache shortly after returning home from victory, the task went largely unnoticed during the extensive reconstruction period in the kingdom. Only she knew what her intent behind the memorial had been and only one other could ever understand— was the only one who ever had.

When choosing what words, if any, should be engraved, many titles came to mind: warrior, ally, queen in her own right, ambassador, friend, love. They all fit, but none encompassed her unresolved feelings or the person at the root of them.

So these words spilled forth as a silent-yet-defiant declaration to the world (to her) and a reassurance to herself as the years passed.

Maybe she wasn’t blessed or cursed with immortality, but this… this memory will remain.

Day 6: Romance

For @morweekofficial

₊✩‧₊˚౨ৎ˚₊✩‧₊

Eyes upon Clotho and Mor a level above. She sighed, nodding toward Mor. “I always forget how beautiful she is. She never comes to Windhaven these days.” Nesta could have sworn pink stole over Emerie’s brown cheeks. Indeed, in the library’s deep gloom, Mor shone like a ray of sunshine. Even the darkness at its bottom seemed to slither away.

₊✩‧₊˚౨ৎ˚₊✩‧₊

I like to think every time Mor visited Windhaven, for Emerie, it felt like a Ray of sunshine in her gloomy day.

@morweekofficial Day 7: Free day <3

Decided to just draw Mor and Feyre as if they were cool girls in the 90s!! Feyre is inspired by Sarah from the Craft (they kinda give similar vibes imo) and Mor is inspired by a 1994 Blumarine look!

I did not get the opportunity to commission anything so I made a mood board to celebrate Mor and Emerie.

I absolutely love the potential of them being endgame. They are both two women who were brutally harmed by their family for only one, single reason… being a woman. I hope that they are able to find peace, love, and strength together in future books.

Thank you to everyone at @morweekofficial for hosting the event!

I just wanna love someone who calls me-

Emorie :)

For @morweekofficial, day 5: Romance

The Morrígan is mainly associated with war and fate, especially with foretelling doom, death, or victory in battle. She incites warriors to battle and can help bring about victory over their enemies. The Morrígan encourages warriors to do brave deeds, strikes fear into their enemies, and is portrayed washing the bloodstained clothes of those fated to die. She has also been seen as a manifestation of the earth-and sovereignty-goddess, chiefly representing the goddess's role as guardian of the territory and its people.

Mor Week 2024: Day 1 Gold

“You’re still lovely,” Mor said a bit gently.

Elain offered a half smile. “I suppose that war makes wanting things like that unimportant.”

Mor was quiet for a heartbeat. “Perhaps. But you should not let war steal it from you regardless.” (ACOWAR, pg487)

No matter if you’re a courtier, a warrior, or both, there is always room to be gentle and beautiful. There is bravery in not letting cruelty diminish one’s ability to shine.

Just a little offering for @morweekofficial Day 3: Celebration. Specifically, celebrating Mor herself! Acrylic paint on canvas. Can’t remember the dimensions exactly but it’s not too big. :)

Bonus:

Hanging on to the wall with a piece of duct tape @bagelfyre and I cannot find my pushpins anywhere???

Just some bops I think would get Mor on the dance floor, drunkenly scream-singing her heart out <3

Morrigan - Third-in-Command

[goddessofwisdom18]

@morweekofficial DAY 1: GOLD!! Decided to start the week off with a collage of things I associate with Mor, with a gold-leaning theme - including a thread for her future mate, because she deserves one 💛

Some random notes -

-I imagine her as being part Turkish and part Irish; I imagine the night court as the Ottoman empire, hence the Turkiye shirt, Lokum, and Ottoman inspired shield and slippers

-The pennant is the Sapphic flag! Taking "I prefer females" at face value, it seems like Mor is homoromantic/bisexual, but as a bi woman myself I have a feeling that was just Sarah's way of euphemising her coming out or making it old timey (the words Lesbian/Bi/Gay don't exist in Prythian so it's not like she could just say that lol). Until we get more info idk exactly what she was intended to be, so for now I'm just calling her sapphic :)
