Radegast x Saladin

Because my fiance is a simp and in rair pair hell and sad one of our favorite authors closed the request box. Merry Christmas, @princessehistoire 💜

The Peak was quiet, for once, though that quiet would inevitably end when patroles return, and even more likely with Radegast chewing Lord Felwinter out for breaking the decree.

Again.

But for now, there was peace.

Radegast finds Saladin sitting on one of the couches by the dying fire, a wolf in his lap. "Room for one more?" The deep rumble of his voice causes the smaller man to look up in surprise.

"Oh, 'Gast, I didn't hear you come in." Saladin shifts to the side, earning a disgruntled whuff from the wolf as he makes room for Radegast. He pets the beast comfortingly. "Hush, you're alright." It makes Radegast chuckle.

"Lord Felwinter spoils those wolves." He remarks, settling down and poking the fire back to life. "We've come a long way, together."

There's silence from Saladin for a moment, hands absent absently running through wolf fur. "We have." He says, finally, voice softer than one would expect from him. "Our work isn't done, yet, though. There's more who need our help."

"And we'll do it together." Radegast says, taking one of Saladin's hands and kissing it as he leans against him. "As we always have."

"Yes." Saladin agrees, settling against the man he trusts more than anything else in this world. "Together."

Bonus round:

Statue of Radegast*, the Prague ZOO, Czech Republic

* the architect asked for two copies of the statue to be made, one to go to Radhošť, one for his personal use. The story how it got to the Zoo is amazing (from wikipedia):

[He was living and working in Chicago for most of his adult life]

World War II and later the 1948 coup derailed Polášek's plans for old age. In addition, changing political relations in Czechoslovakia, as well as serious health problems (a stroke in 1950) discouraged him from returning to his homeland forever.

[...]

In the late 1950s or early 1960s, Polasek's second sculpture of Radegast was discovered by workers in the garden of the former Mašek's foundry in Prague under a layer of earth and leaves. It was probably hidden from the German occupiers at the beginning or during World War II, and the well-disguised statue was forgotten after 1945. Since the statue had animal features, the local authorities thought it thematically fit into the Prague Zoo, where it was moved in 1961.

(Part 2 out of 4 probably)

If you haven't read the first part, you should probably read part 1 beforehand. The first part also talks a bit about Cadoc's orientation and whereabouts.

4. Mojmír, Moravian vampire that used to be a woodcarver (mid-late Great Moravian empire so like mid/late 9th century)

Mojmír belongs to @havrani-otec by the way!!

Cadoc going by Oleg traveled with Varyags to Moravia (nowadays southeast of Czech Republic). It was supposed to be just one of the stops on their trade route but Cadoc decided that his group should stay there for longer. His reason was a small village where he wanted to stir some conflicts and also a creature he found in the local woods at night. The creature was Mojmír, who used to be human just like the other villagers.

Cadoc's and Mojmír's relationship was full of intense hate-love. They were mostly arguing because of their different worldviews and even their differences as species- Mojmír being once human brought back to life, Cadoc not being human to begin with. Sometimes it seemed like they could sustain something like a relationship but then they'd go back to hating eachother to the bone (but still sleeping in the same bed y'know).

As the Magyars came, Cadoc left Mojmír and they've never seen eachother again.

(Since this part of lore is made through a dialogue, I don't really have much info to tell…yet)

5. Magyar raider István (early 10th century)

Magyars came and Oleg/Cadoc was threatened by the Magyars. As raiders they wanted him dead. Cadoc told them he's not a local (at least he tried to say that) and that he can fight. His ability to fight Cadoc showed almost immediately when he started attacking the villagers that used to be his neighbors. The raiders accepted him as their own and István became his guide. Cadoc manipulated the raiders to be even more violent that before they met him, the only raider that wasn't affected by Cadoc's ideas was István.

István was really nice to him, he tried to teach Cadoc (that used to be called Oleg and was called Oguz by István) some Hungarian phrases. Cadoc found him annoying, he was killing villagers just if he was ordered by the other raiders to do so and not because he indulged in it. You could even call István a peaceful individual that rather wants to take care of horses and he didn't see Cadoc as a raider but only as a foreign visitor. Even though Cadoc didn't like him that much, he still did some acts of service for him and István interpreted that as acts of affection.

One day István started to protest to his fellow raiders that he doesn't want to kill anyone ever again. The wrath-blinded raiders decided to murder him for his disobedience. The night afterwards Cadoc decided to bury István's mutilated body and leave the Magyar raiders for good.

6. Romanian/Bijelo Brdo culture vampire Alin (mid 10th century)

As Cadoc left the Magyars, he travelled alone down south until he reached the south Carpathians. There, in the mountains, in an isolated cottage he found Alin. Cadoc just wanted to find some people but it didn't take long for him to realize that Alin was a vampire. Cadoc introduced himself as Oguz and told Alin that he can help them with tasks around their cottage. Alin knew from their first meeting that Cadoc/ Oguz is not a human.

When Cadoc realized that Alin is a vampire, he thought they'd be just like Mojmír and that he could feel that pure wrath and hatred once again, so he decided to attack Alin at night to test his theory. Unexpectedly for Cadoc, Alin didn't even try to fight back and just told him: “Do what you need to do, I don't deserve to live in the Lord's world anyways”. Alin used to be pagan before turning into a vampire and after the change converted to Christianity. They thought that the Lord gave them the vampiric second life as a second chance to undo their sins and believed that Cadoc had that chance too. Cadoc felt bad for Alin but also felt very “hungry” while looking at them, that actually was just a crush on them. He wanted to taste their blood but then felt bad because of thinking about hurting them because Cadoc saw them as weak. He stuck around Alins's cottage for almost a year, helping them with chores that required Alin being in direct sunlight. Cadoc even told Alin the truth about his name and the fact that he's not Magyar at the slightest.

One evening Cadoc proposed an idea to Alin of him staying there for good to protect them. Alin replied with: “I fear we shouldn't be together, Cadoc. We should rather contemplate our sins of the past separately. Then we can go to the kingdom of God together,” and told Cadoc to leave their home the next day.

ahoj, autor Moravian-Silesian Gothic příspěvku, v tomhle případě se jedná o tzv. Regional Gothic meme (odkaz na Know Your Meme), ve zkratce jsou to příspěvky na tumblr kde jsou v bodech popsány různé strašidelné zvláštnosti specifické oblasti. Původně byly hlavně americké ale rozšířilo se to dál.

ale souhlasím že by bylo hrozně super mít příběhy točící se okolo nějakého fajného západoslovanského hororu

pred pár mesiacmi som na čumbleri videla poletovať posty o Moravsko-Sleskej gotike, zoznamy divných vecí v rôznych krajských mestách (ako ex-Brňák si primárne pamätám ten o Brne) a zaujimalo by ma či je to len ďalšia internetová estetika alebo viete o niečom v tomto žánri - knihy, komixy, filmy.... táto naaša "západoslovanská gotika" má skvelý potenciál na indie projekty
