#tunon the adjudicator

[harrycollins]

I was meaning to do this for a long time.

[ulricacliffgate]

A family of three（Or lawful daddy and his two chaotic daughters）

(Yeah my Kyros was actually a young girl who is 19 or 20 when Tunon joins her conquest)

(Drawn by my another friend，love her. ID：论外)

Young Fatebinder Isa loves Adjudicator so much. He is a Law, he is a Justice, he is an Order, and she likes all of it more than anything. She need it to feel herself good inside all of this conquest shit.

But… he's a bit suprised about it.

Spoilers for Genshin 4.2

So there is this fantasy RPG and it has these very powerful beings called Archons. They represent different aspects, like the Archon of Justice, the Archon of War and so on. Among them there is a judge. He's been a Judge for centuries and he's basically the ruler of his region. He wields immense powers, he's always impeccably clothed, impartial, his face doesn't show emotions and he always follows laws to a tee. He ends up challenging the higher power, gets to judge archons and even sentences one of them to death. He's one of my favorite characters in the game. Also he has a cool voice because he's voiced by Ray Chase.

Of course I'm talking about Tunon the Adjudicator from the obscure 2016 gem "Tyranny" (who else)

I don't know who will find it interesting. The overlap between Genshin and Tyranny's playerbases is probably one person and that's me. But I actually like Tyranny and my boy Tunon, I even drew some fanart. Too bad I nuked that blog years ago.

But yeah I was just thinking about some superficial similarities Tyranny has with Genshin and decided to check out Tunon's VA out of curiosity.

Btw despite certain similarities Tunon and Neuvillette are actually complete opposites of each other. Tunon isn't actually a person anymore, he's an imbodiment of laws incapable of compassion. And he only sides with us if we play our cards right.

Also if you want to hear Neuvillette saying "Master. If you'll join me upstairs, I will pledge fealty to you in the lawful manner", with the VA commenting on how suggestive it sounds, I recommend "Tyranny Voiceover Bloopers" on Youtube.

This one has been long in making but I have finally managed to complete it - ‘Bed of Nails' was a short story that has been stuck in my head since I first started working on 'SkyFall'. And was probably the reason why I started writing that monster of a story in the first place. This one happens after the events of the game, and therefore after the ending of Skyfall. A bit out of order and with spoilers galore, sure, but I wanted it done. And now it is. And words can't describe how happy I am :3 Who knows? Maybe I'll finally get motivated enough to continue writing the other one....

Having some strong Tunon feelings right now so I gotta ramble for a sec.

Tunon is perhaps one of the scariest characters in Tyranny and the game does a good job building him up; I know for a fact I wasn't the only player super nervous the first time my FB was summoned to court.

What's fascinating about him though is that he's not evil in the traditional sense. I'm no expert on DnD alignments but after reading about them, the closest fit I see is lawful neutral. The problem is he's in service to Kyros, an evil overlord.

The tragedy with Tunon is that he himself so desperately views himself and Kyros as good. Order is good. Stability is good. Peace is good. Yes, the measures taken to achieve those goals are extreme, but in their wake...?

Take the Bastard City, for example. The conquest was brutal (depending on the FB's choice) and so was Tunon's punishment for its resistance, reducing a good chunk of it to rubble.

But afterwards?

The Bastard City was easy to conquer because the different factions within it were so busy squabbling amongst themselves that they saw the outside threat way too late.

Under Tunon, those squabbles are a problem of the past. Likewise, the remaining parts of the city flourish under his rule. In fact, the guidebook tells us that Tunon is so beloved by the people they cheer for him in the streets (how much of that us to curry favor is anyone's guess but still...).

It's also easy to see the good in Kyros' law. Kyros' peace is a good idea. The principle of "Feed others and in times of need you will be fed" is also pretty neat and (I think it was in the guidebook again) has been used to combat famines across Kyros-reigned Terrarus by bringing in grain from other part of the empire. Without the empire, those people would have likely starved. Also, Kyros allowed Tunon's home country to peacefully join the empire after Tunon had changed its bureaucracy to align with the empire's.

Point being, it's easy to see why Tunon believes in Kyros (It's also how Tyranny makes it treacherously easy to play as an evil character) and therefore, how easy it is for him to dismiss the injustices committed in her name as well as his own brutal actions as "for the greater good". Heck, that could be his life motto for all I know.

The saddest thing about Tunon is that, under those dark robes and shadows there's still an idealist believing in the absolute power of justice and the law as its conduit, which becomes all the more evident should the FB out-lawyer him, thus shattering his worldview. Throughout the entire game, even in death, Tunon never shows any signs of fear.

Except once.

If the FB decides to subjugate Tunon, calling him "~one more vassal added to my collection", we see Tunon scared for the first and only time. Again, he's bound to a master trampling on his core beliefs.

Just a small tyranny sketch my friend made today c:

Wednesday WIP

I’m working on a little one-shot for Tyranny. Set after ‘SkyFall’ so it’s all spoilers technically... but come on. ‘SkyFall’ is all about the Anarchy path. it’s pretty darn obvious how that story ends. Now... those very important character driven tidbits in between is what make the story interesting to write. This one still needs work though.

It was his first time at the Mountain Spire, his first time south of the Bastard city, really. All that has ever been accomplished was done through the eyes and hands of his Fatebinders. For him to be away from the Court was, while not unprecedented, this was still something that he had to see for himself.

The pale, pulsing light of the portal illuminated the chamber and along with the large sigil of the Mountain Spire, it was the only source of light, yet it was still bright enough to keep the chamber well lit. Not just any chamber – a throne room to the former Queen of Apex - where the throne itself was covered with an old sheet, like an old piece of furniture, no longer needed but not yet fit to be discarded. Ponirya didn't use it.

He had noticed that with it covered as it was, it could easily appear that she had no use for a throne. Or did not wish to use it. Tunon already had a feeling that Ponirya was doing all she could to avoid any and all connection to anything involved with ‘ruling’. He wasn't so blind to not see how much she wanted nothing to do with Overlord's position. But it wasn't a matter easily avoided forever. The Spires answered her call. The Edicts were as simple as uttering mundane words to her. All that remained now was for her to choose a name. An Archon's name. An Overlord's name.

That too she avoided.

"Adjudicator?"

He turned at the sound of her voice and was surprised. She was wearing commoner's clothing, made of rough un-dyed cloth. He was very much used to seeing her dressed in Court's colors. Black was the color of his Fatebinders.

Ah. But she wasn't his Fatebinder any longer, was she? She was Tier's Archon. His Archon.

"Are you here for the Spire?" She asked, her eyes regarding him with enough open curiosity. Something she seemed to realize as she corrected it immediately, her face going carefully detached. "Forgive me, but it is not often that you leave the city."

"There is nothing to forgive," pale mask turned down. Her choice to treat him as a mentor figure still baffled him. Kyros would never lower herself so. But Kyros was also far older than himself. Ponirya's age put her at a disadvantage. "The keep is empty," he noted after a moment. There was not a single person on the premises. The Citadel has been repaired and, while understaffed, still remains a formidable presence in the valley. "On your orders?"

"Ah... that... More often than not, the energies of the Spire attract Bane. Almost daily now. It's not the healthiest place for-..." 'Anyone who wasn't her', as it were.

Maybe it was best, as she was no doubt hoping for, not to mention the outcome of keep's appearance should she refuse to hold servants. For now. He did not expect her to be this irresponsible in regards to her own hold.

Pale mask turned up, towards the unseen ceiling. The vast empty space above the central chamber disappeared into the darkness. He could feel the old magic, newly awoken to her and humming all around him, dwarfing what he was. Truthfully, he felt like a child under the scrutiny of this ancient presence. He only ever felt such in-...

"Would you care to see the top?"

Ponirya's voice cut through his thoughts. It was an offer he was... hoping for, yes.

"If you would permit, Archon," he bowed his head respectfully and Ponirya looked away briefly (it did not escape him) and nodded walking towards the portal. The light flickered, welcoming her.

"Many find the top of the Spire difficult to adjust," she warned but there was a slight smile. "For different reasons." The light engulfed her. "The portal will let you through." And then she was gone, soft light swaying in the chamber.

Old magic. He questioned it, and yet he trusted her in this. The Spires welcomed her, but he was not so certain that they would welcome him.

And still, he followed through.

*

Even one such as he had to blink away the last of the luminescent trails in his field of vision, the masonry of Ascension Hall was replaced with wide open space in every direction, save for the slab of ancient stone beneath him. High winds shoved him, trying to push him off-balance. The air was cool and thin – unsatisfying to even one as old as him.

The sight before him was remarkable. Certainly something not many could say they witnessed in their lifetime. He was facing the edge of the Spire and so the sight that had greeted him was that of Tiers spreading before him. Every way he looked, mountains rose up along a distant horizon. The rivers and forest below bring to mind maps of Vendrien's Well, and he quickly traced the Matani, the Irenev, and all the numerous waterways of the region. He could even see the distant shapes of other Spires, Oldwalls, and even Bastard city itself. Something like this did not exist in Kyros' empire. Higher than he ever imagined it, this was indeed the pinnacle of the Spire at Vendrien's Well.

From this high up, it was easy to see how this ancient fortress that rested within the center of Apex's valley, its ring-shaped wall mimicked the mountains that bordered the once-nation.

"Remarkable," his voice was calm but heavy with awe.

Ponirya couldn't help but quirk an eyebrow in amusement at the sight – half in surprise that the old Archon could be awestruck by such a sight. And half... well, it made him look less of an omnipotent, all-knowing being. It reminded her that he was human at one point, however long ago that may've been.

Wherever one may find themselves, in the horizon there was always a slender peak of one of the Spires. And all five in the Tiers now belonged to her – and, concentrating, she could feel each of them. She could feel the cold, damp wind blowing their peaks, like the flames in the fires of large halls. When she touched her palm to the masonry, she invariably felt a reciprocal touch – warm and friendly. She was connected to each of these ancient towers – and each of them took something from her. She could not say what it was.

They gave her a taste of freedom. That was in part why her small band of people followed her, despite the very real danger of Kyros’s ire. But what reasons did Tunon have to do much the same, Ponirya could not say.

She turned to look at him, still motionless gazing over the expanse.

Did he decide that Kyros was unjust and that her world is doomed? Or that she, Ponirya, had the capacity to create a better society in his eyes? Was it all about stability, justice and legality? And what of those can she realistically give him? Ponirya didn’t dare try to answer that, not even to herself. But she had to admit that in the near future ‘peace’ will definitely not be one of the things for her to give.
