𝐂𝐋𝐗𝐈𝐈. Concerning the insurrection in Khaenri'ah by the military faction and the citizens that were brave to join the cause to put a stop to the deplorable situation the kingdom was facing because of the people that obsessed too much over the Abyss, Dain was one of the Black Serpent Knights that fought for the improvement. Being in constant touch with royalty and aristocracy and his own observations as a knight made it difficult for him to not realize that something sinister was boiling down in regards of the Abyss, and to have suspicions that certain events that jeopardized the citizens' safety were directly related to those who tampered too much with the Abyss. To him, everyone was a Khaenri'ahn no matter if pure-blood or not, as his last order during the cataclysm was to protect everyone at all cost, no matter if royalty, nobility or otherwise.

#◟༺✧༻◞ events to be remembered in blue veins ┊addendum.┊#can you believe that I forgot to mention this #in the previous post about this smh #but I guess it would've been a bit strange too #to go from worldbuilding to specify for Dain #so a new post for that works too #it's really good to finally find a glimmer of light #for a long-time struggle of mine #deciding whether Dain knew or not #and studying the way he talked about Khaenri'ah #when he explained that it was destroyed by the gods #to me it always felt like he was lamenting it deeply #and that he was speaking more about those who were innocent #than those who clearly weren't and still aren't #specially with his firm opposition to the Abyss Order and everything #I think that the notion of #fighting for it; succeeding and thinking that would work #and improve the situation in Khaenri'ah #only to realize when everything explodes in the cataclysm #that it wasn't so and that what was touched was the surface mostly #is quite fitting #anyway! I'll go have a nap #and then come back to write that small masterlist post #with the links to the series of Khaenri'ah-related headcanons #and the draft I have pending over there
