There is weight, in the telling. Heavier than gold, heavier than the burden of prodigy they both share. For all that his mother seems to carry so gracefully, Godwyn knows there are paths she has walked that have long-since imprinted upon the earth, all scars of a different kind. Rarely does she speak on it. Rarely does he ask.

The sun has already begun to set on his faith. He would not see it set on his mother, learning what she knows.

His pace beside her does not slow as he takes her hand in his. And they are still hers, unblended for now, wholly of the same softness he knew as a boy. So often as a man has he taken up his axe for her, willing to bear the callus in her stead. " Would'st you tell things in truth? " He asks, looking to the side of her face. Godwyn has shot passed her in height, now - still, he feels he must look up to see her. " The whole of it? " A part of him - that fatal flaw of his father's mortality, perhaps - prays that she wouldn't.

bouncing off of this post, it would be a very interesting meld of theories then if: marika excised part of the erdtree to disrupt the crucible in order to gain access to the realm of shadow where she could lock everything away…

and that ‘golden bough’ became the scadutree and she left it there.

i’m still more fond of / lean into the idea that the scadutree was just simply the shadow half of the erdtree as the name implies ( scadu is an old english spelling on shadow! ) and was cast itself to the shadow realm rather than be used as a tool to get there. but i think both theories can work with each other pretty nicely. food for thought.

a meme, somewhere | @keepslore

"I'm not entirely sure that mere permittance of a presence makes anyone safe - under a hallowed name, or not." But it is more than anyone else has offered - surely more than he deserved, through the collective fault of their Order. It only takes one source of rot to spoil the bunch, and that fatal flaw would no sooner be extricated from his veins than any other Warden here. The fickle desire to live would make monsters of them all, time and time again. That would be left out in the telling of this night, he's sure - that most of these Wardens had only honored the false Calling to fight to the end, as they'd sworn.

Against the rising sun, Godwyn watches Adamant burn and waver like a mirage. The Inquisitor's forces had been swift in salvaging what infrastructure and amenities they could, but the stench of death and a thin, malingering whip-like scent of the Fade still seep from the stone like old blood from a sore.

The Inquisition's flag juts up from it all like a clean, misplaced thorn. A useless, gauzy scrap of fabric. Desert moths will riddle it with holes by the week's end. It falls terribly short by comparison of the safety offered straight from the Inquisitor's palm.

Godwyn takes Dhavi's arm in his grip, soft but sure. Worship made for a poorer promise than any embrace. "But you have my sword, for what it's worth."

INQUISITOR; ███ ＂YOU LOOK AS IF YOU have seen a ghost.＂ / @goldblight sc

goldblight

"I've gotten that before," he smiles easily, the tired edge of it allowing a small glimpse of teeth. "Perhaps it's a trait of all Wardens, eventually. We've much to be stricken about. Some are just better than most at hiding it." He pauses - and his gaze falls weighted to the dangle of her palm. Like the Taint sinks through his veins like a hot, blunt anvil tip, he's sure the Inquisitor understands similar horrors. His smile softens. "As I'm sure you know."

[ CHIRON ] what does your muse do to cope ? are their coping mechanisms healthy, or do they lean into bad habits to get through tough times ?

ASTROLOGICAL HEADCANONS | @healersblade

This is a really good prompt actually because I would have said dissociation - but caught myself, because everything Godwyn does is a conscious effort to subvert the harm caused by the Golden Order, in some way. Under its direction, Godwyn's done some terrible things - he protected the capital of Leyndell, but still killed a revered leader amongst the dragons; he participated in clearing out Stormhill, he aided in the war against the Giants - he's done a lot that he is not exactly proud of. But he's also done a lot to try and heal things over, almost to a fault and the detriment of himself.

Like with the dragons; after he defeats Gransax and wins in trial against Fortissax, he repays the dragons for what he took from them with his allegiance and an alliance that would - at least for a time - protect their presence in the Lands Between. Godwyn had them on the backfoot - he didn't need to do that, nor do I believe Marika wanted him to do that. But he did, because it was the right thing to do.

He copes by giving too much of himself in hopes it will do something worthwhile - which in turn, is a major bad habit.

On the Golden Bough;

There's an actual literature-based reason why Godwyn is called the 'Scion of the Golden Bough', and it's linked to the Aeneid, of all things.

I was researching the reason why some of Marika's children have symbolic flowers, and some do not - Godwyn being one of them; there are no flower items in-game that directly link to him, other than the 'death root' and that's .. not exactly a flower, but more fungal in nature. Then I started thinking more on the 'Golden Bough' aspect, meaning that through Marika, he was clearly held in high esteem along with the Erdtree. The Erdtree is golden, Godwyn is golden, it makes sense - but then I dug a little deeper and found references to the Golden Bough of the Aeneid, and started thinking. Plucking the Golden Bough and offering it up in sacrifice grants access to the underworld / the spirit realm of the Elysian fields.

Ranni becomes a spirit once Godwyn 'dies'. Reinforcing the idea of a necessary ritual for Ranni to leave the physical, mortal world behind and enact the final stages of her plan to rid the world of the Greater Will. Godwyn was always going to be the gateway, as one of the purest branches of the Erdtree. That's why Ranni's 'ending' is treated as the favored, canon ending.

[ CERES ] does your muse take care of themself ? do they neglect their needs to put others first ?

ASTROLOGICAL HEADCANONS | @luckyberet

I want to say it's a mixed bag, and that there's levels to it. Physically, Godwyn takes very good care of himself to remain in peak form in order to take care of people. He's a warrior, and Leyndell + the Lands Between depend on his protection. That being said, he would still give the food from his table or the shirt off his back to someone in need of it; it makes little difference to him. When you have the vitality and strength of a demi-god, he believes it's your duty to take care of those without.

But emotionally, things start to fall apart. There are few people that Godwyn actually shares his mind with. As protected as he is by being Marika's son, he is still ... Marika's son, and beholden to the judgement of the Greater Will, and his mother - who we know has ostracized those that don't fit the Golden Order. If Godwyn were to voice his issues with how things are done, there would be pretty major pushback. I imagine it was a long fight to get Marika to let the dragons be very conditional allies. All of this to say, I don't think Godwyn feels he has the room to take care of himself emotionally. Duty and the image of a unified Order are more important than what he feels. He keeps his thoughts to himself, and they do stack up and lend to his more reserved nature.
