more crow/sultanate related headcanons!!!

storminghell, despite loving crow a lot as a son (to the extent where he visibly favored him over his own sons), would NOT have agreed to a marriage between crow and elanuelo, though if he had stayed alive elan likely would have pushed for one. this is mainly because of his fundamentalist beliefs, as the sons/kin of the sultan were not supposed to marry outside of their country and faith.

crow's marriage to elanuelo was arranged by sultan bonjubuemos for the dual purpose of claiming to want to heal relations with the snow, and so that he could get crow out of the way. crow had no ambitions to take over the throne, and in the back of his head he knew bon's true reasons, but he willingly went through with the marriage anyway out of love for elanuelo and of the belief that he had too little power with storminghell dead already.

davarit and zombta (and defnd) were taken from the same ethnic group - i'd like to think its the same group that eventually would become the majority in Theria - and made into mamluks, aka manumitted slaves who were also the elite military caste of the sultanate. their purchase by storminghell was unprecedented, as typically mamluks were not permitted to stay with their kin. storminghell allowed the brothers to stay and train together thinking that he could subjugate them this way. he was right, up till a point.

I AM A SUCKER FOR THESEEEE YES
