happily married couple

I finally drew all the heirs side by side after over five years of working on this story. Except for dragonboy and the 3rd emperor of Eremeth since I don’t have definitive designs for them as adults yet :/

They are all from older to younger up to bottom and left to right

Telgrim at 60 years old, looking way younger since he’s pretty much immortal

Areyn and Elbrith are around 40 years old, also looking much younger, as she’s immortal too from both sides of her family

Elbrith is technically younger than Areyn, but they are twins so it’s like a matter of minutes. Areyn sucked all the magic potential, Elbrith has 0 magical abilities and thus gave up on her ‘heir of Eremeth‘ title

Alluran is in his 20′s. I made him look so depressed there

Dragonboy has a name but I really, really loath him and keep forgetting his real name since I loath him so much. he’s actually around 10 years old by the time Alluran is 20 but I wanted to draw him as a toddler

same for Aressan, that’s not how he should look like since he was born twenty years after dragonboi (30 years after Alluran) so around the time when Dragonboi decided that he wanted to become a god and that murdering his family was the first step

I have no idea what’s Telgrim’s specie but I’m leaning toward half orc nowadays since I deleted the giants from the story. So he’s smaller now. He came to Eremeth when he was about 7 years old because her mom thought he looked scrawny and weak and didn’t know what to do about his magic abilities. He took it pretty well, made friends pretty quickly and grew up to be a fucking good leader. When he was in his 20′s though, a conflict happened with human forces and he lost most of his friends due to his lack of experience as a general. Since then he has a burning hatred for the whole continent of Sédinaë, over the seas, and has sent the word that any human washing over Eremeth’s soil or an ally country should be executed. That’s not the Emperor’s word though, so not everyone complies to that.

Areyn and Elbrith were basically born and raised on a battlefield. Areyn is the brain and Elbrith the muscles. It’s not that one is weaker and the other dumber but they are both lazy and find it better if they have to do half the work. Which leads to people underestimating them when they are separated. I’m still not sure what the fuck their powers are supposed to be but since I deleted Rengir and Igreth as characters, I’m going to give their powers to Areyn I guess

Alluran came to the fortress after he murdered half of his mother’s court and knights, said mother and one of his sisters included. To his defence, his mother is fucking trash and was actively trying to kill him and Kielo, he just snapped one day after she decided to have their caretaker executed for no real reason and threatened to have Kielo executed too. :/ fun times.

Dragonboi is trash. like, Alluran’s mom is pretty humane and sweet compared to him. He was praised like a god back home, thinking the whole universe was his to take and bend to his will. All his life he was actually searching for someone who could best him, bad luck since it was Alluran and Alluran didn’t have the mercy to let him live. Dragonboi miiiiight have been on a murder rampage right before, like killing Telgrim and Areyn, and trying to kill Elbrith and Galrahn. No one touches Alluran’s loved ones and lives to brag about it later.

Aressan wasn’t at the imperial palace when Dragonboy decided to get rid of his siblings, so he was spared. He was sent there when he was a six years old brat, and Alluran grew very protective of him, much to Aressan’s dismay.

Aressan became the third emperor of Eremeth, but he was too close to his people, not enough of a living legend and too nice to actually be seen as a legit emperor, so his reign was punctuated by assassination attempts and the first rebellions in the empire. He eventually gave up on the throne in favor of his daughter, Jenreg, who put the empire back in order and reigned for over five centuries without all the troubles her dad went through

fun fact : all of the Emperor’s children had issues with clothes when they arrived at the fortress for some reasons

idk I just wanted to draw Telgrim younger and shirtless

Elbrith and Areyn’s reaction is inspired by a little girl at work who kept taking her clothes off and ended up running in the restaurant in her underwear with her mother chasing her
