Garde gems au has been with me forever (mainly bcs I wanna draw cool fusions), so I finally did something about it.

Nine: smooth, black stone behind his neck that can be hidden by his hair.

John: tiny orange/yellow stones on his hands that are the source of his Lumen. Gloves are a must when going out.

i think it would be a lot easier to examine the morality and effectiveness of setrákus' cause (spoiler alert: It's Bad), and the irl worldviews/rhetoric it's critiquing, if the books came out and acknowledged that the entity:

a) is working from the exact same fundamental principles, just glowier and prettier and has Nicer Neighborhoods about it, and ultimately gets away with it, and

b) in its own right is just plain fucking evil

#lorien legacies #setrákus ra #LL entity #there is a MAJOR running theme in this series of poisonous 'help' being offered by people who position themselves as Selflessly Benevolent #and wanting nothing more than to pile you with generous gifts out of the goodness of their hearts #too-good-to-be-true offers when you need them most #they just need one little thing from you. they just need you to do the work of spreading their Help for them. #whether through direct violent subjugation (hi loric history!); or cutting off their options so they get more and more desperate #until they have no option but to give in. until they have no choice but to suffer and die or Choose Peace #or through just y'know terraforming the entire fcking planet and changing the biology of its sapient inhabitants to make them Better #without asking a single person on it first let alone any of the humans #it shows up with setrákus; it shows up with what five goes through; it shows up with mogpro; and it shows up with the entity #but the entity and the loric acting in its name are The Actually Benevolent Ones This Time You Guys #and they don't even show ANY harmful effects from past instances of garde pulling ancient-aliens shit to ~help advance human cultures~ #the moral of the story should have followed through on 'power does not make you a god' #and taken the next step to 'if any objectively sapient being with the agency to tangibly affect the world; in a way you cannot opt out of' #'tries to position themself as a god because they are powerful; or should be powerful' #'tie on a bib and eat them' #i have a lot of words in me about this and it really sank in when i realized the way sandor talks about life on lorien under the entity #and the culture around it sound E E R I L Y like how five talks about ethan and the mogs when he's being groomed and indoctrinated #lorien was some warren of the shining snares shit back in the day and it's both fascinating and absolutely chilling #your neighborhood isn't less racist because it has breweries and brick pizza ovens etc etc #ANYWAY #LL tag #LL crit tag #the crit files

When Malcolm goes to greet the Loric when they get to earth, he brings his son with him. Sam gets swapped with one of the Garde, Malcolm figures this out during the trip back because he knows what his son does and doesn't look like, only problem is he has no idea where the Cepan might have gone with Sam.

He tries to handle the crying alien toddler while frantically back pedalling and trying to figure out how to find his son and god how is he going to explain this to his wife???

Option A: he runs into the Cepan with Sam who is equally sweating and they just swap kids like "whelp lets never speak of this again goodbye" and they both let out a sigh of relief and have a funny story to tell their kids in the future

Option B: Cepan is long gone with Sam and by the time they've come to their senses and realised he's not their kid they're two continents away and have no idea where any of the greeters come from. Thus, Malcolm has no choice but protect the Garde now under his charge while relentlessly travelling around the world in the hopes he'll figures out where Sam went. The Cepan is also is in a icky situation because they have no idea where their charge is but they absolutely cannot just abandon this cute human kid so guess that's a problem they'll have to deal with.

Up to you which Cepan and Garde it is but I like to just imagine Sandor sweating like 'oh no how did i already fuck this up'

Identity of Devdan

Devdan is an integral character in Number Eight's backstory as after the death of his Cepan, he acted as a mentor to Eight. Devdan is described as 'spiritual man' by Eight and was able to recognize Eight after initially meeting him in the form of a rabbit.

Devdan taught Eight about Hinduism and inspired his future Vishnu disguise and his forms as well as trained him in Indian Martial Arts - not only that, he guided him in using his Legacies. According to Eight, Devdan never returned to their usual meeting spot and it's assumed he was killed by the Mogadorians.

Now most people assumed that Devdan was Pittacus in disguise but Pittacus was confirmed dead by Malcolm as he died in his garage shortly before the Garde and their Cepan arrived on Earth and his skeleton is still there to prove it. My theory is that Devdan is a Demi-Loric and the son or descendant of the Oracle - a female Garde with especially strong precognitive abilities and the creator of the paintings in the Himalayan Cave.

I believe this because the Oracle secluded herself within the Loric Cave in the Himalayas which isn't far from where Eight grew up in India. This would explain Devdan's knowledge on Legacies and how he was able to recognize Eight as if the Oracle was his mother she could've foresaw their meeting.

TLDR - Devdan wasn't Pittacus and instead was a Demi-Loric son/descendant of the Oracle

i want more lore (pun intended) on the culture of lorien! i want to know about the people, about what they lost, about what their lives were like!

so anyways, here are some ideas about loric culture (keep in mind some of this could be canon/impossible in the series and i've forgotten because i haven't read the whole series in years). feel free to use and/or expand on any ideas in fanfiction and fanart, and please tag me if you use this as inspiration because i desperately want to see more loric culture!

-we know they have festivals based around their moons/stars. what do those look like? i'm imagining celebrations similar to pagan celebrations of equinoxes and solstices, so things like dances and bonfires. also how often do these happen, how different is their astronomy from ours? with multiple moons, how do those impact their oceans and navigation?

-how do they mark the passage of time? here we obviously have the year marked by our orbit around the sun and days marked by the turn of the earth, as well as seasons which technically have specific days but vary a lot based on location and hemisphere. we also have the moon cycle and the months of the year. how does their orbit vary from ours? do they mark something similar to years based on it? do they also have a day/night cycle similar to ours, and how do they schedule their days? what do their seasons look like? with multiple moons, do they have varying moon cycles and do they have specific ideas of importance within them, like the importance some place on the full moon? how do they divide time up, and how do they count it?

-how does their concept of age work? their orbit is probably different from ours, so if they count years the same as us what ages on lorien are big deals? on earth we have things like 16 and 18 being important in some places because they're your "sweet sixteen" and when you become a legal adult. do they have specific ages that dictate what you can do, like start training or work?

-what does the geography of lorien look like? it seems like their may be a central civilization with their ships and academies, but there's not a lot of description about the rest of the planet. it's ten times smaller, so it's kind of like a massive country. some of that is oceans and seas. like any country, there's probably smaller towns and cities with different customs and history. is there any territorial division, like the borders of countries here on earth? it seems they lived in peace and had very little conflict, so even if they have borders it's likely a very different system and idea to ours.

-how do the people who live beyond the central civilization differ? i think it could be a really cool idea to explore how other places on lorien function and how their societies adapt to their environment. for instance, a society living in the mountains could be stronger than average and more resistant to the cold due to their environment, while a coastal society could be very proficient in swimming and creating navigational tools as well as managing sea travel and trade. it's also interesting to consider differences in appearance due to location, like how on earth people closer to the equator have darker skin while those further away have lighter skin. with different societies there could be different diets, clothing, traditions, and so much more that i want to see explored.

-how do they travel? do they use ships to travel like how we use airplanes? do they have trains? do they have individual means of travel, like cars? since they seem eco conscious, how do they travel without harming the planet? do they use loralite to teleport and then use other means to get to places without loralite? since the academies are in the central civilization, do other societies send their garde there to board or do they have their own customs for garde?

-what does their economy/trade look like? since they're peaceful and don't have many of the issues we have on earth, i assume they don't use capitalism. i imagine it's all coordinated to give each society what they need, with everyone helping each other since if they never had capitalism they wouldn't be wondering about profit. how is the work divvied up? some cepan had jobs farming, but to supply a whole planet it must be a bigger operation. some legacies could help with agriculture, and many garde and cepan could help with resources once they're done training. they could send people with specific legacies to other societies, such as someone who can manipulate metal going to a place with mining. the work is also probably much less grueling, since they aren't trying to make a profit and instead just get what is needed. coastal societies could manage ports and get resources sent all around.

-what are their religious beliefs? are there different beliefs, or one main belief with different sects? i imagine that there would be a lot of spiritual stuff surrounding the entity and possibly lorien itself, so maybe more monotheistic. how do their religious beliefs incorporate the elders? do they view them as priests or prophets, or maybe even jesus-like figures? who are their religious leaders and how does one become a religious leader? or maybe they don't have a leader, and look directly to the entity/lorien for guidance. they might have religious texts, which i imagine are in the libraries and probably preserved by the cepan.

-what are their funerary practices? in the books we really only see them practice more human, western funerary practices with cremation and burial. on lorien, would it have been a somber affair or more celebratory? how would they have cared for their dead? on earth cremation and burial are the most common, but there's also diversity in how those are carried out, like open air pyres and natural burial. if they bury people, what do their graveyards look like? how does their mourning practice work? is it practiced in stages, are there specific events that must occur, how do they work through death?

-what are their societal roles? do they have gender roles or are they just divided by garde and cepan? do they have concepts like matriarchal or patriarchal societies? we know grandparents take care of young garde, so what is the role of the parents and other family members in the upbringing? there are many roles in a society that need to be filled: caretakers, laborers, leaders, etc. they might let most people choose their roles, but some would have to be designated or expected like grandparents caring for the children or elders.

feel free to add more, and i'll probably keep this list going as i think of more! i just think that lorien is so underdeveloped as a culture, and we don't get a real sense of what was lost even though some characters like the cepan lived on lorien for many years. they lost a whole civilization, and i wish we knew more about the people and their lives before the mogadorian invasion.
