a day of fallen night was full of loss and grief and love and forgiveness. starting a new life with someone who survived the old. forgiving your lover of thirty years as she forgives you. dreams of lost sisters, familial memories of lost magic. how am i supposed to just go on with my life now

seeing glorian be described as a legend in priory after having read adofn is so wild because like. that's a child. a sixteen year old child bride forced to have a child because of a lie. a girl who never had any control over her own body until she gave inys a daughter. until she continued a cycle that she only ever wanted to break out of. having to doom her own daughter to be the chain upon the nameless one so that she could be free, but in the end she was still stuck, still doomed to become her mother and every berethnet queen before her. becoming of age as her daughter is born. no longer needing a regent and being able to join the battle but only because her daughter would now take her place as the sheltered princess who isn't allowed to do anything that could end with her getting hurt and being betrothed by her mother whether she wants to marry or not. having to have a child for inys whether she wants to or not. her mother had told her 'one day, you will sit across a table from your own daughter and tell her who she will wed for the realm, and you will remember this' and before her daughter is even one year old she has to face the prospect of arranging her marriage to appease the vatten and she does. she remembers. 'for a berethnet, there is but one path'

Some Priory and Adofn sketches of Eadaz, Sabran IX, Tané and Glorian Shieldheart :)

I’ve been sketching a bit to get their faces right, so I can draw more elaborate pieces. On another note I reread both books in the span of a week bc summer break so the brainrot is fresh and here to stay lmao

Reading the Priory first and then reading a Day of Fallen Night adds a lot of context for some characters. Like when we’re introduced to Glorian Shieldheart, she’s been a legend for centuries, a force of nature, a warrior who carried her baby on her hip as she led her people to victory. However when she appears in a Day of Fallen Night, it’s like she’s a child, she’s loves sweets and playing in the snow with her friends, she loves horseback riding, she loves her papa, she’s scared of her mom, she just wants her mom to be proud, she wants to be a good queen, there’s so much burden on her, she’s a child who just lost her parents and now needs to bear a child herself. She’s a child and she now must lead to country to war. She’s just a child.

#the berethnet queens deserve peace and lives of their own #they are doomed by the narrative and it hurts my heart

and they’re both descendants of tuva and esbar!!!! they are literally destined to be in love

One of my favorite things about a day of fallen night is how the mage being sent to Inys thing was started because of Tunuva's and Esbar's desire to protect their grandchild, which in turn led to Sabran and Ead meeting. Their love was possible thanks to another sapphic couple in another lifetime that's so fucking sweet I'm gonna eat drywall.

#also they’re not sapphic couples they are lesbian couples

‘You think me weak,’ Glorian said, willing her voice not to quake. ‘You always have – but I know whose bone and blood I am. I am the chosen of the Saint, the fruit of his unending vine, the iron of the eversnow. I am the daughter of Sabran the Ambitious and the Hammer of the North, and I will rule this realm without fear. My reign will be remembered for centuries to come.’ She let the words soak through the silence, then said, ‘I am enough.’
