EXCLUSIVE: Lionsgate and Little Women and King Lear producer Playground Entertainment have teamed on a major fantasy project – a television adaptation of Tamora Pierce’s expansive Tortall Uni…
Cross your fingers and swords everyone! I’m thrilled to share this news with you all. Thank you to Playground for this wonderful opportunity to bring my words to life :-) Are you excited to see Tortall in technicolor?

Squire Kel on lookout duty for the King’s Own. I’ve been terrified of heights since I was a kid, so I relate to Kel’s struggles. We had to do a water survival training test in college (part of a voluntary military program) which involved a jump off a high dive. To my extreme embarrassment I was too scared to jump & I started tearing up (and of course I went last, so everyone was watching me...it was awful). I was so embarrassed and determined to never let it happen again, I went back to the pool every week for several months, slowly working my way up the lower diving boards/platforms until I was no longer scared of the high dive. Can’t say I’m ‘cured’ of my fear like Kel, though...I think I could still make the high dive jump, but my ears still ring and I get all weak at the knees when I have to go up an escalator more than one story high. :’(

Lord Raoul of Goldenlake and Malorie’s Peak, Knight Commander of the King’s Own “Commanders. Good ones, people with a knack for it, like, say, the queen, or Buri, or young Dom, they’re as rare as heroes. Commanders have an eye not just for what they do, but for what those around them do. Commanders size up people’s strengths and weaknesses. They know where someone will shine and where they will collapse. Other warriors will obey a true commander because they can tell that the commander knows what he- or she- is doing. You’ve shown flashes of being a commander. I’ve seen it. So has Qasim, your friend Neal, even Wyldon, though it would be like pulling teeth to get him to admit it. My job is to see if you will do more than flash, with the right training.” - Lord Raoul to his squire, Keladry of Mindelan (I couldn’t find anything in canon to support whether or not he has a beard. I tried without a beard, and let’s just say he did not look like a Giantkiller! So if you imagined a smooth-faced Raoul...assume this is after several weeks on the road with Third company, with limited access to water and razors.)

“It’s going to be a jolly scramble now!”
How it happened, probably. Poor Neal, his own chivalrous words used against him.
Headcanon is it’s not the daughter he’d expect to go for her knighthood. His oldest girl is all spunk and energy, throwing herself into weapons training with zeal. She’s got stubbornness & ambition in spades. He waits, half expecting it…but no, she decides she’d rather be a Rider. Their son has his heart set on the City of the Gods - Neal halfheartedly tries to convince him otherwise, with the aforementioned reasoning, but to no avail. Two years later it’s his middle girl who shyly, but firmly, asks permission to enter page training. It comes out of the blue, and Neal feels blindsided. This is the little girl who spends all her free hours with her nose in a book, who prefers dresses over breeches, and always speaks with the gentlest of manners. Sure, she dutifully trained the basics on the bow and the glaive, as was expected of all of the Queenscove young. And she wasn’t half bad…but he could tell her heart wasn’t really into it, like her sister. She’d rather be in the Corus library than trading blows with the training master. So why in Mithros’ name does she want to be knight, he asks. She responds with an unassailable answer: it was her duty. There simply must be a Queenscove knight to follow in his footsteps. Didn’t they owe an obligation to the Crown? Wasn’t their family a pillar of the realm? And Neal is astounded. His argument that it isn’t her responsibility alone falls on deaf ears. No, she can’t wait and see if her little brother chooses that path. By then it would be too late, she would be much too old. She had to start now. No, she’s made up her mind. And so he grudgingly says yes. It’s been years since their time as pages, and times have changed…there were many more girls enrolled now, although not many made it all the way through to the Ordeal. Full of concern, he watches her talk quietly with the visiting Kel, three days before she was to leave for training. Kel patiently answers her questions, and shows her some strengthening exercises for her arms and legs. Kel looks up at her friend, nervously drilling the table with his fingers as he watches them, and she can’t help but smile. Little Irnai’s prediction is coming true. She pats the young girl on her shoulder, giving her final words of encouragement before turning towards her friend with a grin. “Come on Neal, we’re going to the stables. You’ll feel better after a ride.” Neal gives her an exasperated sigh, and follows his friend, his mind still weighing heavily on the difficult path in front of his daughter.
as requested, here’s that keladry piece all by itself \o/
So beautiful. But...the lance is on the wrong side of the horse's head. Why am I such a nerd to remember these things.
Daine Sarrasri.
I've never shared my artwork before, so here goes nothing. How I imagine Daine from the Immortals series.
