“Who decides when the war ends? When the queens and the lords sign their treaties, does it erase the anger? Is the thirst for vengeance quenched? Is the hunger for justice sated? I know the people wanted peace lass, but I think you’ll find there are a fair few amongst them who’d rather freedom.”
It begins, as these things tend to do, with a gamble.
It’s been 15 years since the last war ended and tensions are running thick between the Seelie and Unseelie Courts. Old gods are stirring, and a fateful coin toss throws Elodie Ferodeus right into the thick of the tangled mess of Unseelie politics.
Elodie is an outsider to the Court. Weighed down by the legacies of her parents she walks a knife edge between hero and traitor.
The Captain of the Queen’s Guard offers Elodie a quest. One that will bring glory to her name and peace to the two Courts. Elodie sets off with a handful of hopeful heroes, each with something to prove, in search of a long-forgotten crown. But who will wear it when the day is done?
Characters:
Elodie Ferodeus Youngest daughter of Amadeus Ferodeus, legendary warlord and Daphne Ferodeus, famed healer. She’s ambitious, gifted with a blade and level-headed in the face of danger. She’s also argumentative and rarely thinks things through but, nobody’s perfect. (x) tag
Nereida Frostfury Seer acolyte with a heart of gold. Fearless selkie, as much a fierce hunter on land as she was in the sea. She’s bossy, but her advice is always sound. Firmly believes that the world is inherently good. (x) tag
Hadrianus ‘Adrian’ Marsh Schemer. Gossip. Thief. The best person to have on your team, the worst person to have as your enemy. His moral compass doesn’t have a truth north, but when everything goes south, he’ll fight tooth and nail to keep the people he loves safe. (x) tag
Elliot ‘Jaeger’ O’Connor Half dragon, half human, all disaster. Tries so hard to be the man his dads want him to be. Usually has the best intentions, results may vary. Stubborn, loyal, and snarky as hell. (x) tag
Cadence Arronach Sugar and spice and a knife in the night. Tries so hard to escape the legacy her mother left behind. Her impulse control is non-existent, even whens she’s pretty sure things are going to go badly, she tends to do it anyway, just to be sure. (x) tag
Regan Maneo Cat person with an incorrigible sweet tooth who loves tea and sunsets. Also a necromancer who can sever her soul to raise the dead. Or, she could, if she wasn’t terrified of her power. Aloof, ethereal, hopeless romantic. (x) tag

liking a ship but disliking the distinct set of stock fanon that they have been assigned is like one of those punishments dante came up with when he wrote the worldbuilding for hell in inferno
It's wild blueberry season in Sweden and I've been picking and eating my fill everyday from the forest behind my house! The entire forest floor is covered in wild blueberry bushes and the tangy taste is so cosmic, I had to paint them✨
Photos of the berries I picked!
"who's your blorbo?" is singular? in this economy?? I don't know how y'all are doing it, but it costs me 6 blorbos minimum just to get through the fucking day. due to inflation. :(
so exhausted by how fundamentally anti-human the capitalist world has become. like ageing, getting fat, being slightly inefficient, and making mediocre art are all extremely normal and extremely human activities, why is every corporation trying to convince us to spend all our money fighting that
