sages one through five

so, like, what is eitri’s whole deal? a meta / headcanon post on seiðjarn & eitri.

To start to understand what I think is going on with Eitri physically, we have to understand the origins of seiðjarn and what it is. Heroes never credits one person as being the inventor seiðjarn, all things point to it (probably) being Eitri.

All of Eitri’s incarnations are primarily remembered and credited as being an inventor. Seiðjarn is a combination of magic and machinery, and Eitri is both a mage and an engineer. Though never explicitly said to be a mage of any pedigree, it is easy to discern that Eitri has a strong mastery over magic with her weapon type being a tome and the fact that seiðjarn research and engineering necessitates magical ability to understand and utilize. Her first incarnation was also one of the two founders of Niðavellir, where it was said that the First King used his craft (most likely some sort of rudimentary iteration of seiðjarn as we know it) to free the dvergar from Jötun rule. Her playing such a large part in the kingdom’s history point to her making some sort of contribution to its liberation, and with her background, it makes sense to credit the invention of seiðjarn to Eitri. 

Knowing this, we can now move on to the next question: what is seiðjarn? Anna in Chapter 1-1 of Book V defines it as “a systematic study and application of magic” and states that “only Niðavellir has had any success with its use.” What can be assumed to be the first seiðjárn inventions are weapons the First King used to liberate Niðavellir, and they are referenced as “his craft.” In Chapter 4-1 of Book V, the Order of Heroes comes to Eitri forest workshop for aid against Fáfnir. Sharena comments on the “contraptions” laid about the space, and deduces that what she sees before her must be the makings of seiðjárn. This evidence, along with what we know of Niðavellirian culture and history, allows us to define seiðjarn as machinery created in tandem with and/or powered by some hidden magical art that Eitri unlocked. 

Now, on Eitri herself: what is she? Her first incarnation, Alfrik, is obviously a dvergar — but what about the bodies that came after? I think she always chooses to reincarnate as a dvergar because of her undying loyalty to her country. She cannot see herself as anything else, and probably thinks other races of mortals are inferior to the genius and ambition of the dvergar.

In Book V, Chapter 13-5 Eitri reveals the truth of her identity to the Order of Heroes:

ALFONSE: The legends and myths across all the many worlds make mention of beings blessed with extremely long lives... Eitri, are you a dragon? EITRI: Ahahaha! No, no... Alas, I am still a mere mortal. More or less. I did manage to borrow some talents from a dragon, however... When my body ceases to live, I can transfer my essence to a new vessel, a new body. By doing so countless times, I have shaped Niðavellir and safeguarded it for many long years. In the castle... You know the murals and statues of all the great figures from the history of Niðavellir? Alfrik, Dvalinn, Billingr, Grer... All of them were me.

Eitri says she is “more or less” mortal and that she “borrowed” talents from a dragon in order to gain the power of living indefinitely by transferring her essence (her soul) into new vessels. Knowing Eitri’s true nature, I do not believe that whatever conspired between her and this dragon was some free exchange of ideas. I do not believe that divine, draconic secrets like immortality is haphazardly given to mortals — especially not obviously suspicious lunatics like Eitri. Given the shady way in which she says she learned this talent, I believe that Eitri tricked or manipulated the answer out of this dragon. I also believe that she killed said dragon afterwards to ensure that she would be the sole inheritor of said power, and that the dragon could never take revenge on her for her actions. This would be in line with behavior we see from her in Book V, where is readily prepared to dispose of things or people that inconvenience her in the slightest. 

In addition to believing that Eitri killed the dragon that taught her the secrets of reincarnation, I also believe she took the parts of this dragon to build new bodies for herself. My personal theory on how her reincarnation works is she, somehow, absorbed the essence of the dragon and mixed it with her own, so therefore the bodies she built using its parts are more receptive to accepting her vaguely draconic essence. Using the dragon’s body parts to build new bodies for herself also allowed her to make an enhanced organic form.

Speaking of Eitri’s personal enhancements, it isn’t implausible to assume that Eitri is some part machine: a bionic.

The strongest evidence for this idea is Eitri’s new skill learned quote which implies she is no stranger to experimenting on herself:

“A new power... Nothing could make me happier. Conducting tests on my own body is very convenient.”

Almost all examples of seiðjárn we have seen thus far have been militaristic technology, like the gullinbursti and the steam soldiers. Anna also states in Book V, Chapter 1-5 that the Niðavellirian mastery over seiðjárn is what allowed their conquest of surrounding lands to happen so quickly and to be so successful. This makes sense, as the invention of seiðjárn was in response to Jötun oppression and was used to give the dvergar a fighting chance against the giants. Additionally, since the development of seiðjárn evidently had to be kept secret in its infancy in order to not alert the Jötun to the planned dvergar uprising, I believe Eitri (then Alfrik) tested the first seiðjárn weapons on herself or willing volunteers involved with the liberation effort. Once the kingdom of Niðavellir was established, Eitri most likely saw the appeal of enhancing her mortal body with seiðjárn technology and continued to test new ideas and enhancements on herself. Eitri would like the idea as well, of being part machine, seeing it as a way to quell some of her organic shortcomings. 

As of right now, in he current TOA incarnation, Eitri has lost most of the bionic upgrades with the death of her previous body and currently works on developing even stronger enhancements to restore her bionics. Though it is a small setback, Eitri sees it as a way to use the knowledge she gains at Garreg Mach to advance her study of bionics even further. The abundance of different species residing at the monastery will advance her research quite nicely…

Here's next year's FEH Bingo. Since I counted Yarne in last year's "new years" banner, so I'm going from this the upcoming NY to next year's "Winter" banner. Also, any alt counts, even resplendent (thou Mae would be the only one). No need for the astir like last year. More details below

First, Engage corner. I'm expecting 2 normal hero Engage banners, one Solm, the other Elusia. I was going to put the zappy Yunaka on here, but with her new winter alt, I'm moving my bets to some more risky characters. She might win CYL, but if not, then she might be 2025. Framme was also there, but she's also low, now that her popularity is wining down. I could put Solm and Elusia's elder princesses, but they will likley be joined by their sibs, so I put Fogado and Hortensia as the obvious picks. Which leaves Merrin and Rosado as fan favorites wild cards (The cute vs cool). Will they be on the banners, or will they be alts?

For "I want another alt, be it seasonal / legendary / rearmed / attuned", we got, Marianne (yes, bias), Reinhart (magic is everything), Altena, (it's gonna be) Mae, Amelia (the hero), Kris (summer time), and Nephenne.

For heroes that can be released from Alt Hell, or just double dip, Leonne, Dean, Hanriette (cuz she has relevance to the new book), Lyra, and Fáfnir (I'm calling Fallen banner)

For those new to FEH, with the poetical to be in Alt Hell, it's Vaike (the last Awakening unit), Jeritza, Shura, Scarlet, Izana, Franz, Skrimir, and Edward (go dawn brigade)

This is his resolution.

Happy New Year!!! 🎉🎉🎉

[aqua-saves-orbs]

Niðavellir headcanons I came up with at 2 in the morning

There's a lot and this is specifically for the ten remaining people who still care about Book V

Niðavellir values intelligence more than anything. While Fáfnir's general kindness helped him gain favor among the people, it was his knowledge of ruling and government operations that earned him his place as king.

Though objectively nicer before he had the crown, Fáfnir was always fairly cynical and had a dark sense of humor. He just did a better job at filtering himself before he was crowned.

Ótr has the same obsession with food that Reginn has, but he hides it in order to make himself seem more "royal". Because they were used to starving on the streets, they both eat as much food as possible even after moving into the palace.

Niðavellir's battalions each have a mechanic in charge of helping with Gullinbursti maintenance. However, most high ranking soldiers maintain their own Gullinbursti for efficiency's sake. As such, most dvergar soldiers know a fair bit about machinery.

While the war was still going, Fáfnir would cut Ótr and Reginn's hair pretty short to "keep them from being decapitated". After Reginn cried about that fact, he started to let her grow her hair out. He still made sure Ótr kept his hair relatively short, however.

After several all-nighters over the years, Eitri was constantly being confused for a ghost that would haunt Niðavellir's capital. They eventually came to embrace that fact and began dressing in all white to further mess with people.

The siblings can sleep anywhere at any time; for Ótr and Reginn this is because of their time on the streets, and for Fáfnir this is from him being a soldier. Reginn sleeps like rock. Fáfnir is a pretty light sleeper but if he's tired enough he's impossible to wake up. Ótr wakes at any change in his surroundings. He often wakes up in the middle of the night from the slightest sound or change in the light.

Fáfnir drinks coffee and tea throughout the day and takes both black. He'll let Reginn have sips of what he's drinking, but she's not a huge fan. Ótr drinks coffee and says he likes it black. He's lying. When he thinks people aren't looking he'll add tons of milk and sugar. Eitri is a "inject the caffeine directly into my veins" person, but since that's not exactly practical they make tea from the flowers around their sanctuary.

Ótr was sick the day Fáfnir and Reginn went to the New Year's festival, so Reginn tried to bring him back some mochi. She ate half the box on the way back, so Fáfnir had to hold it the rest of the way before she ate it all.

Fáfnir got the summoner a pocket watch for New Year's, both as a subtle threat and an act of genuine endearment.

Eitri takes very good care of the plants in their sanctuary to make sure they're as uninviting as possible. They will get upset if you step on their flowers, however.

After the events of Book V, the summoner makes Reginn plushies that look like her brothers and Nótt. If you listen closely, you can hear the princess talking to them when she's particularly lonely.

[footsiepop]

fun fact!

Ok so, mythologically, Ótr, Fáfnir, and Regin were a trio of dwarf brothers. And then one day FUCKIN Loki kills a random otter and whoops, that's Ótr and now the family is pissed at Loki for killing Ótr. Originally Hreidmar, their father, demands Loki be slain, insisting upon a life for a life. However he successfully argues that he couldn't have known the otter was Ótr the dwarf, and is instead made to fill the otter skin with gold, and then cover the gold-filled pelt with more gold until the body is entirely hidden.

He nearly finishes this task, but one of Ótr's whiskers is still sticking out so he gives up the cursed ring Andvarinaut, stolen from the dwarf Andvari.

Fáfnir proceeds to murder Hreidmar to obtain the gold paid out for the death of his brother, and the cursed ring ends up warping him into a dragon.

(Regin later enlists the help from the hero Sigurd/Siegfried to slay the dragon Fáfnir to get the same gold paid out for Ótr's death, and then Sigurd both slays Fáfnir, and kills Regin for trying to murder and rob him.)

Mind that different tellings may be slightly different and I don't specify *which* mythology because that is a complicated answer.

And really, dear reader, the reason I tell you this is so you know that in Reginn Fire Emblem's New Year unit, the Ótr/otter thing isn't only a joke about his name or such-- no, the Ótr of myth straight up had a major habit of just transforming into an otter to chill!

dancer in the skies (fáfnir x reader)

note: this was something that i have had in my notes for a year and i just wanted to come back to it because i thought it'd be cool to pick up this again!! if you know @/silversouls this is my new account! i lost the password to silversouls/silversouls has memories i rather just forget so i moved here ^^

you were a knight of the sky.

the endless sky, your battlefield yet home to you.

pegasus or wyvern, it did not matter what helped you take to the skies.

the only thing that mattered was you were in the sky.

the heroes lovingly called you the “dancer of the sky”. taking the title with modesty, you held your head high and departed to each battle with optimism and bravery.

but even if the skies were all you could ask for in your short life, your heart felt it yearning for something more.

“summoner,” fáfnir called out to you, his soft voice ringing through the halls. “can you deliver this to reginn?”

snapping out of your daydream, you answered. “of course,” you grabbed the parcel from fáfnir’s hands, feeling the subtle warmth radiating from his gloves.

“i...” you blushed, looking down. the last thing you needed was the king of niðavellir aware of your love for him. “i’ll get this to her straight away!” immediately turning away from the pale man, you rushed off to find reginn and create some distance between the both of you.

you walked down the halls, admiring the various tapestries hung on the walls of the askran castle. blue tapestry adorned with the askran symbol and gold lining...it truly fit a castle like this. you held the parcel with a slight grip, face heating up again from the memory of the sudden encounter with the man who captivated your heart.

"sigh...i can't let myself get so in my dreams." you closed your eyes for a second, only to find yourself on the ground, parcel spilled and the wind knocked out of your sail. when you opened your eyes to see your assailant, it was none other than who the parcel was supposed to go to.

"reginn?" you winced as you got up, dusting yourself off. "why were you running?" reginn bowed and apologized. "i'm sorry!! i was told that fáfnir wanted to give me something but i didnt know he had sent someone to give it to me!" reginn winced at seeing the contents of the parcel spilled out.

"i thought fáfnir wanted me to come over, so i spent some time running around looking for him," reginn carefully put all the contents back into the parcel. "but i never thought he'd asked you." the young girl giggled, a merry bells sounding laugh.

"what do you mean by that?" you narrowed your eyes, not sure what the princess of niðavellir could be implying.

reginn tensed, a nervous smile making to her lips. "oh! well..." she quickly grabbed her parcel. "well i gotta go. i'll see you soon summoner!" just as fast as she ran into you, she ran off once again. as much as you didn't want to admit it, the conversation with reginn had piqued your interest more than it should have.

"never thought he asked me..?" you continued walking, your next stop to the stables. if anything could clear your mind, it was flying on your beloved steed in the never ending sky. "it's probably nothing to really think about, i suppose." you reached your destination, greeting your pegasus with a smile. "hey," you stroked their mane, them snorting in delight. "you're ready to fly again?" they neighed in agreement.

you saddled up and got on, departing into the sky, feeling the wind caress your body. you sighed in happiness feeling the wind in your hair, the wind kissing your skin. nothing as far as you knew could ever beat the feeling of flying. "if only fáfnir could..." you breathed out, drunk on the exhilaration. you blushed deeply at the realization of what you just said. "like fáfnir would like to fly, he doesn't even like it." you fly down, deciding to go rest up for the day.

that was your plan, until your plan has reached an adrupt start. there was a familiar man in the distance awaiting you. you squinted, only to immediately go wide eyed. you flew down, not wanting to keep the king of a nation waiting. "is there," you got off your pegasus, petting their snout. "i can help you with?" you turned around to meet him, your blush shown greatly from the cold airs of askr.

"i wanted," he made his way towards you and your pegasus, brushing the hair ever so slightly. "to ask if you could teach me to fly." if you could be any more red in the face, that moment was certainly now.

"i..can teach you right now!" you tensed up, getting on first. "here," you reached your hand out to fáfnir, smiling a little. "take my hand." the man gripped your hand gently and smiled back, propping himself next to you. you tensed your shoulders and blushed.

"you can um...put your arms around my waist so you don't fall off." fáfnir snaked his arms around your waist, gently embracing you. "like this?" he asked. "i um yeah like that!!" you blurted, overwhelmed from all the interactions with fáfnir. "hold on tight," you grabbed the reins. "it's time we fly!"

you both soared into the sky, feeling the air surround you in coldness. you laughed from the feeling and fáfnir held onto you a little more tighter, not sure of this new experience and what new feelings it brought forth.

"you can trust me." you looked back at him, a reassuring smile. "these feelings...are unknown." he remarked. "thats ok if they are." you told your pegasus to go a little slow. "it's all part of trying new things."

fáfnir knew how different you were in the sky compared to the ground. on the ground, you were shy. but in the sky, you were just as free as it was. he admired that about you. as much as flying in the sky was unknown and strange to fáfnir, the love and admiration he felt for you was familiar and welcomed.

I am not your enemy - Lance fanfiction excerpt

Hellooo ! There is an excerpt from one of my chapters on my fanfiction about Lance, translated into English (I apologize in advance for the quality of the translation...)

« Your powers are still there »

- Look, I don't even know why I decided to come see you here, but what is certain is that it was a mistake. We are definitely not meant to get along, you and me.

Pissed off and frustrated, I headed for the door to leave this stuffy place, when his hand grabbed my forearm and stopped my gesture.

- Andraste, calm down.

I didn't answer. I just waited for him to make up his mind to let go of me, still turning my back on him.

- You still haven't told me why you came here, he continued.

- I already told you, I had no particular reason, so let me go please. I thought you won't hold me back.

- I won't hold you back when you explain it to me.

His tone was dry, but nonetheless he pulled gently on my arm to push me to face him. With our sleeves rolled up, this was the first time our two bare skins had touched each other, the dragon usually always wearing gloves, and that contact felt like pricking my skin. Feeling a strange sensation arise in me, I finally unwrapped everything for him, trying to hold back my tears of frustration in the process.

- I feel lost, Lance. I feel like I have to start all over again, except this time around, a chasm seems to separate me from those I already knew. I am tired, my body can no longer keep up. And I feel ...

I looked for a moment at his hand, which was still holding my forearm firmly, the paleness of my skin contrasting sharply with the tanned complexion of his, before looking up at him.

- Incomplete, I finally concluded. I feel like my body needs to regain its powers, but I can't.

Lance observed me for a long time before lowering his eyes in turn.

- Look.

I followed his movement to discover a soft light escaping from my palm held between us. I was speechless.

- How...

My voice stopped. Why were my powers awakening at this precise moment? Since that famous training with him, I had tried several times to use them again, but each of my attempts had resolutely turned out to be luck.

Lance's fingers grew colder and colder and soon, faint streaks of ice appeared on my skin and descended to the heat source in the palm of my hand. When the two elements met, I felt an incredible force spread in me and with the same impulse, the light which escaped from my extremity suddenly burst a bluish color. My hand and arm were almost completely covered in ice, but yet I only felt a slight chill run through me.

He released the pressure on my arm before sliding his fingers until finally let go of me. When the contact between our skins broke, my light flickered for a moment before disappearing. No more sign of magic marked my numb member.

- Your powers are still there, Andraste.

He paused before adding :

- And obviously, they seem to react to mine.

I didn't understand exactly where he was going.

- To react to yours, what do you mean by that?

The dragon had let go of me, but he still didn't back down. His large build blocked my view, I only saw him.

- I don't know exactly, I’ve never had this kind of reaction before. But aengels and dragons have a rather complicated common past, that would explain some events like this one.

I thought back to the fight Leiftan and I had faced him seven years ago. Our powers had as it were merged that day. I thought this only happened because we were both aengels, but was it possible between beings of different origins ?

- Have you ever heard of people merging their powers? I inquired, nervous at the thought of his answer which I certainly wasn't going to like.

His gaze remained impenetrable.

- Apart from Leiftan and you, no, not that I know of. But our races being extinct, we know very little about these kinds of facts.

A memory came back to me then.

- And Fáfnir, he could tell us more !

Lance didn't move but I felt him imperceptibly tighten, which made me anguish. I asked the question that nagged me cautiously.

- Something wrong with Fáfnir ?

He seemed to hesitate to answer me for a moment, but finally spoke, his tone heavy.

- Andraste ... he breathed in contrition and I thought I saw a few sparks of ice escaping from his lips. Memoria is gone, he said, and the dragon's eye too.

I was speechless in amazement. He gave me a few seconds to digest the information before continuing cautiously.

- We don't know where the dragon souls are at the moment. Shortly before you woke up, quite a few unexplained events like this happened. Fáfnir is ... nowhere to be found, let's say.

For the first time, the man's gaze in front of me seemed to waver slightly. The dragon never let it show, but yet I knew it disturbed him more than he made it seem.

- Lance ...

- It's not important, he cut me coldly. We will inevitably find them eventually but for the moment, we cannot count on the knowledge of Fáfnir. However, I would like to know one thing.

I looked at him questioningly.

- How come my ice didn't do anything to you? You didn't seem to feel the cold.

I was taken aback. Granted, only Lance was the only one who really knew what was happening to my body after seeing the miraculous healing of my wound, and my unexplained blood loss, but I hadn't told him all the details I had. had counted on keeping for myself.

- It's probably because of this merging of powers thing, nothing more, I argued with a shrug that wanted to be nonchalant. We do not yet know anything about this phenomenon after all.

Unsurprisingly, the young man did not seem entirely convinced by my answer. He was definitely a formidable adversary, even in areas other than combat. It was my luck.

Cautiously, he moved closer to me, his gaze fixed on mine.

- So, you know if you trust me?

Getting a little closer, he lifted his hands and slowly directed them to my neck, probably giving me time to decide whether or not to let him.

- Let me try something, he whispered to me.

Cradled by the calm tone of his voice, I let his hands reach the thin skin that covered my neck. His long, slender fingers encircled the entire back of my neck, he barely touched me, as if he was afraid that I would push him away. I plunged my questioning gaze into his, his gaze totally focused on his task, when the tingling sensation I'd had earlier on his touch began again, this time where his hands covered me in.

His concentrated face was now tilted so close to mine that I only had to whisper for him to hear my question.

- What are you doing ?

I suddenly felt the same streaks of ice run through my skin. Rising to the bottom of my face, they marked my skin with a slight tickle. Despite everything, I only felt a small sensation of cold.

Lance smirked weakly.

- Breath, he intimated in a deep voice.

Without really knowing why he was asking me to do this, I still breathed weakly into the small space between us. It was then that with amazement, I observed light crystals of ice escaping from my mouth, until gradually transforming into a sort of bluish flame. I widened my eyes at this phenomenon, it was his dragon fire !

His smile widened then.

- A real little ice dragon.

A light expression floated on his face as he gently removed his hands from my neck, removing the last traces of ice that covered me. Slowly, he pulled away from me as well, putting a distance of convenience between us.

I was obsessed with the feeling of fierce power that had invaded me for a brief moment. So that was the strength of the dragons? This feeling of invincibility so primitive. I understood better why they were so formidable, when I had yet tasted only a tiny part of his powers.

- How did you do that? It was amazing!

The latter observed me, his face suddenly slightly serious.

- To be honest, I didn't think it would work. This is the first time that I have tried to impart some of my power to someone else, I didn't even know it was possible.

We both watched each other silently in the stillness of the room, each realizing the extent of the communion of our respective powers.

And it was ... almost scary, to be honest.

The dragon's voice finally broke our silence.

- Andraste, I will advise you not to tell anyone about this phenomenon for the moment, I do not yet know what that could imply.

I nodded without batting an eyelid, I totally agreed with that idea. On the other hand...

I fixed his blue eyes with a determined gaze.

- Lance, I would like you to help me regain my powers.

I paused, hesitating on what to do next.

- But maybe ... out of sight, like here.

He raised an eyebrow in disbelief, a thin smile on his lips.

- The little human wants to make clandestine dates in my room ?

New Years Banner! I am most excited for Fáfnir!!

[inthedusksynria]

I got my two most wanted characters from this banner!!!!!

Elimine came!! (AND NEUTRAL!!!!) And she is so pretty oh my god i am so happy i got her!!! Her dialogue is so interesting. Also she is so fun to use!!!

AND OTR!!!! I had skipped his OG banner and rerun, but this was the perfect spread and he came home!!!! YES I HAVE ALL (technically) NIODAVALLR FAMILY REUNITED!!!!

Otr, massively grumpyly: What do you want Summoner? I-

Summoner: Here is someone you must meet

Fafnir in new years grab, walking in: Oh hey Otr

Otr:

Otr: This is the best day of my life thank you Summoner

Also his 40 lvl dialogue IS SO SPICY. SO SPICY IN LORE WHAT

"I was only a child when the coup happened. I didn't know what was happening or what to do... All I knew was that I was in danger, and I needed to leave. So, in the chaos, I grabbed the baby and ran. My only explanation is that I had occasionally been asked to look after it. I heard my mother screaming behind me, "No! We must kill the child!" But only a moment later, she was killed... Killed by the same people they'd asked me to lead into the castle. Afterward, war broke out, and eventually I came to understand what had happened. Thinking back on it now, I can't say I should have done anything different. But all that is in the past now. It's all meaningless at this point. There is only one side to be on: Fáfnir's. Fáfnir is ALL there is. Hmph. And who are you to disagree, Summoner?” BACKSTORY BACKSTORY BACKSTORY

Losing my mind over his parents explicitely asking him to kill baby Reginn and Otr deciding to save her instead. Much to think. Just. AAAAAA?

Otr: Fafnir is all there is

Summoner, simp for Fafnir: Cheers bro, i agree

Otr:

Otr: what

[takurotan]

3788 orbs. That’s the 98.6th percentile You know, I actually believed that November’s post was going to be the last one and that I would show off 11 Fáfnir resort and the fully merged one here. Turns out IS had other plans. So, guess I’m going to keep doing them for… for IDK; he could be a mythic OR legendary at this point. On the bright side, I won’t meet the (traditional FEH OC) New Year’s banner with only 300ish orbs.

[zorua-adorable]

New Year’s 2022 banner is out, and I have two things to say.

Number One:

YES!!! I love her so much! She’s so cute!

I also enjoy the plush otter she has as a nod to Ótr.

Number Two:

The absolute gall IS has to not give me a Ranulf alt! Yeah, the Ranulf puppet that Lyre has is cute, but I want my blue cat boi! I thought I was gonna get him, but I guess I have to wait a whole year now.

Edit: Props to Fáfnir for not being this banner’s shitty unit.

[faireth-reed]

Since everyone's asking, let's remind y'all this:

This golden accessory has a title specification for Legendary F!Corrin, that doesn't appear in other LHB accessories.

Since M!Grima is already there, there won't be a legendary version of him, unless they do something very rare.

But really, Corrin's parallelism between the two main routes has always been there. Do not worry!

Meanwhile, I keep saving orbs for new year. Please let Fáfnir be there. Or the sisters.

[electricprincess96]

Lyre from Radiant Dawn and Fáfnir by the looks of it which makes sense it fits the theme the New Year banners have had recently of Heroes OCs + Shapeshifters

[summoner-kentauris]

new sprite, have to finish her dragonstone before i formally introduce her (also name her a haha dont remind me)

anyway i keep including this ‘captain of the kingsguard’ person in the background of my writing so i figure i like. ought to learn something about her by now.

shes very old, she’s from hel, and she tries not to transform because her dragon form is all Hel-glowy. that fact that she’s an Actual Fáfnir is a very, very close kept secret, espECIALLY given that she was met during the Hel war twenty years ago, when the portal to Hel was first rent asunder.

anyway shes the one of the king and queens closer confidants. i would ramble more but i should save that for Official nice post
