I LOATHE SYLDOR SO MUCH 😤😤😤😤😤😤😤

[annemarieyeretzian]

me whenever syldor speaks:

[hotboiessek]

oh i forgot that in order to meet velora we had to meet syldor

[sparring-spirals]

How bad is Syldor in the book, because from C1 he just seemed like an ass, and a bit racist, and unninvolved toward the twins. Does it go further than that?

[VERY SPECIFIC KITH AND KIN SPOILERS FOR TWO SCENES BELOW, and more generalized spoilers]

Off the top of my head, beyond the, uh "he literally didn't let them leave the house for a number of years/go out and socialize or meet people beyond their tutors because he thought it would """reflect badly on him""" ". (which. holy shit WOW. fuck)

- Constantly, like, constantly, telling them they needed to do 5x the work in order to even match their "properly blooded" peers, shitting on them if they did anything short of perfection and even then.

- [specific spoiler] At one point after Vex had been pushing herself to the brink of the exhaustion practicing with her bow, arrived right when she was attempting to use a newer (+heavier) one, demanded she demonstrate her abilities to some rando elf who was with him, then tore her down when she wasn't able to perform as well.

- [specific spoiler] Vax had saved up money from his.. extracurricular activities (rogue shit) to gift Vex a lovely bow she had desperately wanted, because the small amount of money they were both recieving wouldnt have been enough to get it. Upon Vax finally getting in trouble one too many times, he called them both in, told Vax off for being a disappointment and disobedient, he had of course known about his shift activities, etc etc. Then turned to Vex and told her off for not stopping him/allowing it to happen and also being a disappointment.

- [specific spoiler] and then upon making it clear he knew where the money for Vex's bow had come from, snapped Vex's bow in half in front of them, as punishment.

- whoops im absolutely infuriated just thinking about that scene again sorry

- Just... generally he constantly disparaged and insulted them, while also trying to also keep them entirely under his thumb and made it very explicit he was limiting their contact with everyone else to avoid his own repuation being sullied. While also doing his damn best to break down any sense of self worth they possessed and still dangling the "despite how inherently inferior and awful you both are, maybe you could be adequate..." with increasingly impossible standards, and then excoriating them when they (inevitably) failed.

- (this isn't what you asked but it really puts Vex's desire to prove herself to people and Vax's burning desire to protect her regardless of other people's perceptions into. Extremely Damning Light.)

- and this is all WITHOUT taking into account shitty townspeople. which syldor obviously did not help with. once they were allowed to leave the house, that is.

- anyhoo im gonna get a luxon beacon and transcend this universe so i can kick Syldor's ass.

Critical Role Campaign 1 Spoilers

What if, years after the battle with Vecna, there was a law introduced in Syngorn by a certain diplomat - Syldor Vessar. After years of being part of the hierarchy, and with the help of the Baroness of the First House of Whitestone, he works his way up, and is eventually able to pass the Vax’ildan Act, stating that, by law, no half-elf in Syngorn should be discriminated against on the basis of their heritage.
