Mermay 2023 - René(e) the Fighter - 1
The Armorican Peninsula is a strange and wondrous place, a mist-shrouded land full of magic and mystery, where the mortal realm of Bedouar and the timeless vastness of Faerie coexist side by side, the great veil ripped apart by uncontrollable magic, causing time and space to collapse into disarray.  Unearthly fog rolls in, cutting off travelers from where they came and pure magical chaos rolls across the region in great storms.  Fortune can be found in the borders of Faerie to the brave and the lucky, death for the foolish.
The treacherous coast of the region, the Ar Mor Bras, is no stranger to these twists of fate, home to the lost city of Ys-Beneath-the-Waves and its accursed princess, Ahes Dahut.  Throughout the ages, some individuals find themselves caught in the whirlpool of magic surrounding this mystical site, and are drawn in by the phantom bells of the sunken city and the enchanting, enticing song of those trapped by its curse....
--------------
Back in 2019, I launched a special series for Mermay, an art project to develop a small, but important part of the lore of Alvez, the world of Kroashent.  The Marie-Morgane of Ys-Beneath-the-Waves are one of several merfolk races of the world.  For this project, I decided to "adapt" each of the Dungeons and Dragons Character Classes into a character as they may appear in Alvez, then transform these characters into mermaids with art and short stories!  Since then, I've been working hard on developing the world and the characters who live, there, even writing an ongoing novella, Kroashent: Bal des Loups, which you can read the first 3 chapters right now, for free!  A lot has changed as I worked and some of the art and stories seemed like they could use an update!
--------------
Next up is René(e), an idealistic knight from a minor family with dreams of love and adventure.  Compared to the Rozenn the Druid and Ailinor the Cleric, René's design had much less changes, but did have some cleanup and general streamlining.  I'll admit, I went back and forth on this a lot.  René's story takes place roughly 1000 years after the Fall of Ker-Ys, almost contemporaneous with the the story of Kroashent.  René's armor is something that would still be in regular use for the region.  I debated giving it a completely new design to line up with the more "modern" uniforms of the Windguard (Closer to what Enora wears), but decided for a footsoldier like René, the chain and tabard would still be commonly used.
I'm also proud to point out, this is the first time ever I've made/used a custom brush set, for the Ermine field on René's tabard!  Still needs some fine tuning, but a useful tool!

The Daughters of Ys by M.T. Anderson. Illustrated by Jo Rioux
Tumblr media
Age Recommendation: Tween and up Art Style: Pencil style (digital) Topic/ Theme: Family, Loyalty and Repercussions Setting: The city of Ys on the coast of Brittany
Rating: 4/5
The first thing that you probably need to know about this is the thing that is written last in the book, though it was written in the blurb as well. "Daughters of Ys is based on an ancient Breton folktale.". Brenton is something of what became French, the land itself was in Brittany (aka Wales and part of England). All the existing version of the folktale provided by Anderson are in what appears to be French. This is relevant only because this all means it is not something that Anderson just made up. Also, it makes Rioux's art decisions fantastic, the style and colouring are well suited to indicate that it is an aged piece. It's not something new. This is a good way to story and I could see it being used in a number of ways in educational institutions (sorry that is my high school librarian side talking).
The Daughter s of the Ys tells the story of the two titular daughters of Lady Malgven after her death, Princesses Rozenn and Dahut. It starts with their father, King Gradion recalling their unusual meeting and coming together to Malgven's death and her gifts traits inherited by her daughters. "Rozenn, my eldest, to you she gave her love of wild things and lonely places... And to you Dahut her love of wonders and miracles". It is here the problems start. in a single person those are well-balanced traits, but practical sense they cause the sisters to have opposite world views. We meet the sisters as children but for the most part, they are young women of indeterminate age living vastly different lives. Princess Rozenn in the moors with the people and the wild things coming to court only when absolutely necessary as the future Queen, Princess Dahut the popular and necessary to impress court lady. The story is Dahut and their mother's secret unravelling in the most violent way possible and what happened next. It is a well-paced and written piece that makes good use of the art to tell the story where words would be too much.
Because the art is integral to the storytelling here it had to be done well. And it was that. It pulls you in. As already said the style suits the setting, the people look right, the art does not look modern if that makes sense. All the main character are distinct, which I find can be an issue in some graphic novels. Not only are the characters distinct the different worlds that Rozenn and Dahut inhabit their different lives. And it shows the changes in their worlds as they get darker. All in all, it's just a beautiful book, that is definitely work a read if you like historical works or graphic fiction.

“Maman,” Rozenn said excitedly while Maya plainly ignored her in one of big shopping centers in Dubai. “Maman, it’s a princess.” 
“There’s a lot of princesses here, sweetheart. Don’t stare, it’s not polite.” Rozenn continued to chatter and only caught Maya’s attention when she said ‘Wales.’ Maya looked up and around, seeing Rhiannon standing there. “Oh,” she said softly and smiled a little. “Rhiannon,” she said as she approached the other woman. “I mean, Your Highness.” @rhiannonofwales

iceberg: a timeline
 4TH OF JANUARY X151 --- birth of Élisabeth Martell, oldest daughter and heiress to her mother, Aimée Martell, duchess of Banquise
5TH OF SEPTEMBER X196 --- Iceberg gains independence from Peregrande and the families who were crucial in the fight for independence form the council that then gathers to choose a leader, a ruler
28TH OF SEPTEMBER X196 --- Duchess Élisabeth Martell is crowned first queen of Iceberg; Banquise thus becomes capital of the newly independent country
12TH OF MAY X224 --- Queen Élisabeth succumbs to old age at the age of 73
12TH OF JUNE X224 --- Crown Princess Marielle becomes Queen Marielle
SPRING X237 --- Tensions between Iceberg and Peregrande escalate, leading to the first war between the countries
4TH OF MARCH X238 --- Queen Marielle dies in the last battle of the war; heiress apparent Princess Angélique, a niece of the queen, thus becomes the next queen
4TH OF APRIL X238 --- Princess Angélique becomes Queen Angélique, and sets out to strenghten Iceberg's relations with other countries, something that causes the country to flourish for decades to come
21ST OF FEBRUARY X240 --- the Royal University of Iceberg opens its doors in Banquise, four more universities are founded until X249
31ST OF JANUARY X271 --- after more than three decades of loyal service to her country and after having undergone a Herculean effort to advance the scientific field in Iceberg, Queen Angélique stepped aside, allowing her oldest daughter Liliane to take the throne one month later  ( as it is custom ).
19TH OF JULY X273 --- Queen Liliane’s rule was too short for any of her plans to come to fruition and it ended violently when she was murdered by an assassin not long before her 24th birthday. As the assassin’s employer was a Peregrandian noble, the country was at the verge to another war, so shortly after the last, but though heartbroken, her mother urges Lilian’s younger sister  not  to seek vengeance, not to gamble the well-being of the entire country for the fleeting feeling of satisfaction revenge promises.
19TH OF AUGUST X273 --- Princess Carine had never wanted to become Queen Carine I, but her country needed a leader and her mother was too old and too sad to be the pillar. Thus, Carine  ( the firecracker, the wild child )  swallowed down her anger and set out to be what the country needed and proved far more successful at this than she had anticipated.
27TH OF DECEMBER X309 --- after 46 years of continuing what her mother had began and what her sister had wanted as well, Queen Carine  ( aged 70 )  did not wake one morning, leaving behind a grateful kingdom, a husband, two sons and a daughter: Béatrice.
27TH OF JANUARY X310 - 5TH OF JUNE X338--- the reign of Queen Béatrice would be overshadowed by the  Stella Situation,  a topic few Icebergians like to address, even today. Once, Stella was a duchy that was allied with the domains that  ( after the Independence War),  but it did not gain independence alongside the others as they had not participated in the war, despite having had far more soldiers and better weapons. The end result was that Stella became essentially the cousin that is not mentioned during family dinners. Queen Béatrice  tried  to create a better understanding between what had once been once people, but she had to accept that Iceberg’s people no longer wanted to have anything to do with Stella, and accepting her citizen’s will, her efforts ceased later in her life.
16TH OF JANUARY X312 --- Stella becomes independent from Peregrande.
5TH OF JUNE X338 --- Queen Béatrice’s death was hardly a surprise, she had been well in her forties when she had taken the throne and she had not been dealt an easy hand, but the suddenness with which she died shocked the country. She had been a beloved ruler and was laid to rest in the crypt only two months after her death as her only daughter wanted to give the people time to pay their respect and to say goodbye.
5TH OF AUGUST X338 --- former Princess, now Queen Éliane is given a thankless job; being the direct successor to a ruler as popular as her mother is never easy and after having spent most of her life in the shadows as she never enjoyed the spotlight, she is almost unknown to the people who now need her. She makes do, continuing her mother’s work and keeping her head down for the most part.
17TH OF OCTOBER X362 --- while never popular as other queens, most citizens would have wished for Queen Éliane to have the same peaceful death her mother had found, but this instead, she dies when her morning tea is poisoned. While many conspiracy theorists have written about who killed the queen, there has never been a trial as there has never been a suspect. Of course, as these things tend to go, Peregrande has always been mentioned in this content, though many contemporaries agree that others would have benefitted more from this particular death.
17TH OF NOVEMBER X362 --- Éliane’s young niece Queen Adeline is crowned queen and like her grandmother before her, the challenge ahead of her is not an easy one as Iceberg’s society has reached a tipping point as craftsmen rally against mages as they are able to offer the same goods at a much lower price
5TH OF FEBRUARY X376 --- after fourteen years of hard work to negotiate a deal between craftsmen and mages, something she neglects her private life for fully, Queen Adeline suddenly falls ill and does not recover  
5TH OF MARCH X376 --- her niece, Myléne Martell, is formally crowned queen but as she is only six, her mother, Princess Alana, acts as regent for ten years. Alana has gone on to become a popular figure in Icebergian stories as she is said to have been the water mage who extinguished the Great Fire of May X370, something that is in fact true.
12TH OF JUNE X386 --- on her sixteenth birthday, the young queen takes over from her regent and after years of having been considered a non-issue, as a child that could easily be ignored, Queen Myléne sets a first exclamation mark when she proposes to her not-so-secret crush, a kitchen aide, a week later --- ignoring the council when they tell her she should marry according to her station
12TH OF OCTOBER X426 --- Queen Myléne steps down, preferring to enjoy the autumn of her life away from the capital and its schemes
12TH OF NOVEMBER X426 --- her youngest daughter, Noèmi Martell, becomes queen and while she does not enter the history books as the heiress to her mother's stubbornness, Queen Noèmi has been reported by contemporaries to be quite willful in her own right. Under her rule, Iceberg attracted many of the finest scientists of the time as she greatly supported the universities of the country and thus made them interesting for those in need of financial support for their inventions.
8TH OF OCTOBER X437 --- pneumonia takes the queen before her time, leaving behind only one son and a very specific will: that her son is to inherit her throne, her title. While this goes against all kinds of tradition, her will is to be respected and thus, two months after her death, Iceberg crowns a king for the very first time.
8TH OF DECEMBER X437 --- Iceberg’s first King, Edgard Martell, knows that his rule goes against all traditions, but he tries to make his peace with it, marries the sixth daughter from a well-respected family, does not do anything drastically different from the women who sat on the throne before him. He has two daughters, the older who dies in a tragic death and one heiress, and four sons who can be described as almost devoted to their little sister, Rozenn.
13TH OF SEPTEMBER X484 --- King Edgard is very old when he steps down after forty-seven years at the helm of the country and in comparison, his daughter Rozenn is almost ridiculously young when she is crown queen at the tender age of seventeen. The expectations for her are high, and perhaps, she broke on them early, though the records about her have been partially erased.
11TH OF NOVEMBER X501 --- after a rule of seventeen years, Queen Rozenn dies in childbirth and her husband becomes regent for their daughter, Crown Princess Aline.
UNTIL X518 --- Regent Casimir Martell is responsible for decisions that are still hotly debated in Iceberg as many questionable laws originated during his reign.
11TH OF NOVEMBER X518 --- despite Aline's coming-of-age, her father refuses to hand over the throne, fancying himself to be the rightful king. It is a choice he regrets dearly when his daughter gains the support of some of the most powerful families, the Renauds for example, and quickly ousted the former regent from his throne and into a dungeon cell.
16TH OF JULY X524 --- Queen Aline's announcement that no, she would not marry and in the event of her death, her cousin's oldest daughter would inherit the crown, was initially met with confusion, though the queen's obvious fondness for Aurore Renaud  ( and the titles that were piled on the fourth Renaud daughter )  eventually explained things.
24TH OF JUNE X546 --- just as sudden and surprising is her announcement that after twenty-eight years, she wishes to retire to the summer residence with Aurore and that her younger cousin, Prince Lucien, should be king until his daughter would come of age. The speculation about this has lasted to this day and a theory that does not seem to die is that she placed her cousin on the throne to spite her father, but it is not certain if Casimir was still alive in X546 or if he had died long before.
24TH OF JULY X546 --- in later years, King Lucien would be called the Dove King for how his older cousin seemingly made him appear from her hat when she had grown weary of the royal lifestyle, but on the day of his coronation, no one could resist pointing out how dreadfully pale he was. Though this should not come as much of a surprise; Iceberg has never been gentle with its male rulers. Part of why he stepped up instead of his oldest daughter as it had been originally planned is that his oldest daughter had expressed that she would rather seek her fortune in science than in politics.
31ST OF DECEMBER X552 --- after almost six years, King Lucien abdicates. He has never wanted to be king, has only ever stepped up because he was needed, and he is more than happy to let his youngest daughter Mylène be queen.
31st OF JANUARY X553 --- Queen Mylène II would later say that the day of her coronation was the last truly happy day of her life for one day later, her husband is murdered. She throws herself into the duty to her kingdom, never remarries and wears black for the rest of her life. 
SUMMER X559 --- after only six years on the throne, Queen Mylène II is excommunicated from the Church, as the highest clerics have not enjoyed her response that as long as her country is at war with Peregrande, she has bigger things to worry about than to make sure that her subjects are obediently following the religious canon dictated by the Bellumese clerics. Later on when the war is won, she would buy herself back into the good graces of the church by having a grandiose church built, but while her excommunication lasts, she does not care very much.
2ND OF NOVEMBER X575 --- a poisoned drink is what tears Queen Mylène out of her life before help can be found, and Iceberg is furious. The pressure to find the responsible parties is high, and although the trace points towards Bosco  ( and this is a scandal as the countries are  allied ),  the whispers that this time, it has to have been Peregrande cannot be silenced fully.
2ND OF DECEMBER X575 --- Manon Martell has been a child when her father was killed and now, as an adult, she has lost her mother to a complicated murder, too. The young queen is said to have been almost frantic regarding her security and her family’s safety, something that led to the nickname Queen Hare. Despite her constant fear, it was Manon who safely steered Iceberg into the next century.
3RD OF JANUARY X608 --- one month after Queen Manon’s death, her youngest daughter Célia is crowned queen and although she tries to maintain the stability of her country, it eventually slips from her fingers. The recent incidents  ( one dead queen, Peregrande’s military building uncomfortably close to the border, among other things )  are still fresh and slowly, Iceberg turns into a powder keg.
24TH OF JUNE X665 --- the powder keg almost explodes when Crown Princess Odile is killed with the same poison that was used to kill Queen Mylène II. The same belief - that surely, it was Peregrande - quickly spreads and this time, an escalation can only be stalled, it cannot be prevented. Later on, Célia will be praised for having tried to fight off the inevitable by tirelessly trying to calm her country and her council while  also  grieving for her daughter, but her efforts would be in vain.
9TH OF APRIL X687 --- some would say that it was a mercy that Célia dies shortly before the war breaks out, leaving her granddaughter Cornélie on the throne, but most agree that Célia had known very well what was coming and that she clung to the crown for so long  because  she had hoped she could lead the country through the war. Instead, this falls to Queen Cornélie who has only been the ruler for a few months when the situation escalates.
SUMMER X687 --- what had been predicted to happen for decades now finally does happen, and it is every bit as ugly as it would have been expected. The war is not constantly fought on the various battlefields along the border --- and this time, Iceberg is trying to regain ground lost in a previous war --- it is also fought in the palaces where a political solution is desperately sought, initially with little success.
WINTER X697 --- the Third Peregrandian War changes the way Iceberg functions in ways few would have deemed possible beforehand. While many agree that Queen Cornélie should not have ignored the parliament the way she did, just as many think that the punishment --- being stripped of many royal privileges and the crown being locked away --- has been too harsh. This incident also marks the shift from a monarchy to a constitutional monarchy, something many Icebergians consider to be a . . . flop.
2ND OF JANUARY X698 --- the war ends after ten bloody, bloody years with a peace treaty and although her power is now limited, Queen Cornélie throws herself into the service to her country. She wants Iceberg to recover quickly from this tragedy, wants to keep up with the other countries on the continent that have begun to thrive whereas hers is still  hurt  from a war no one wanted.
4TH OF OCTOBER X731 --- the Queen wants to peacefully enjoy the years she has left in her and thus, she steps down and allows her daughter Carine to step up. The crown princess has never been much of a public before, but the long years of her reign would quickly become an essay on how far the laws that limit the monarch’s powers could be bend, something that did not only make her friends.
16TH OF SEPTEMBER X756 --- despite the council’s protest, Queen Carine II puts her son on the throne and retires to the old winter residence with her husband. This is by far her most unpopular political decision, but has always gotten what she has wanted and this would not be an exception. Her son is  not thrilled  to be king. He knows that his country would have preferred any of his female cousins over him, that his country has perhaps even hoped that his wife would be crowned and he would be consort, but he never complains. Instead, he grits his teeth and gets to work. And there is still a lot work to be done.
4TH OF MAY X769 --- after three sons, after three princes, Iceberg witnesses the birth of the long awaited Crown Princess: Annabelle Marie Martell is born on the first sunny day after weeks of rain.
14TH OF APRIL X794 --- King André Martell steps down from the throne, thus allowing for his daughter, Crown Princess Annabelle Martell, to ascend
14TH OF MAY X794 --- Annabelle Martell is crowned queen

A Tale Of Two Sisters: 'The Daughters of Ys' Reviewed
A Tale Of Two Sisters: ‘The Daughters of Ys’ Reviewed
Sometimes grief brings people together. Other times it tears families apart. Rozenn and Dahut may have never been close, but while there are aspects of The Daughters of Ys that might seem familiar (the recently dead mother; the sisters who don’t get along), there’s a lot about this princess story that’s new.
Namely, M.T. Anderson and Jo Rioux are willing to go dark with The Daughters of Ys and…

Mermay 2023 - Rozenn The Druid - 2
The Armorican Peninsula is a strange and wondrous place, a mist-shrouded land full of magic and mystery, where the mortal realm of Bedouar and the timeless vastness of Faerie coexist side by side, the great veil ripped apart by uncontrollable magic, causing time and space to collapse into disarray.  Unearthly fog rolls in, cutting off travelers from where they came and pure magical chaos rolls across the region in great storms.  Fortune can be found in the borders of Faerie to the brave and the lucky, death for the foolish. 
The treacherous coast of the region, the Ar Mor Bras, is no stranger to these twists of fate, home to the lost city of Ys-Beneath-the-Waves and its accursed princess, Ahes Dahut.  Throughout the ages, some individuals find themselves caught in the whirlpool of magic surrounding this mystical site, and are drawn in by the phantom bells of the sunken city and the enchanting, enticing song of those trapped by its curse....

Back in 2019, I launched a special series for Mermay, an art project to develop a small, but important part of the lore of Alvez, the world of Kroashent.  The Marie-Morgane of Ys-Beneath-the-Waves are one of several merfolk races of the world.  For this project, I decided to "adapt" each of the Dungeons and Dragons Character Classes into a character as they may appear in Alvez, then transform these characters into mermaids with art and short stories!  Since then, I've been working hard on developing the world and the characters who live, there, even writing an ongoing novella, Kroashent: Bal des Loups, which you can read the first 3 chapters right now, for free!  A lot has changed as I worked and some of the art and stories seemed like they could use an update!

Rozenn the Druid got a heavy redesign in her base form, which carried over to her Marie-Morgane form.  I decided that thick wool dress seemed very heavy underwater, so she's opted from something lighter.  She's kept her belt for its utility though.  Rozenn is in charge of maintaining the Nemeton on Ys-Beneath-The-Waves, a sort of druidic sanctuary of sacred trees.  She spends much of the time there, and is something of a spiritual leader and Queen Ahes oldest and most trusted friend.  Rozenn and Ailinor sometimes argue about philosophy and theology, but more often are friendly and cordial with each other.

Mermay 2023 - Rozenn The Druid - 1
The Armorican Peninsula is a strange and wondrous place, a mist-shrouded land full of magic and mystery, where the mortal realm of Bedouar and the timeless vastness of Faerie coexist side by side, the great veil ripped apart by uncontrollable magic, causing time and space to collapse into disarray.  Unearthly fog rolls in, cutting off travelers from where they came and pure magical chaos rolls across the region in great storms.  Fortune can be found in the borders of Faerie to the brave and the lucky, death for the foolish. 
The treacherous coast of the region, the Ar Mor Bras, is no stranger to these twists of fate, home to the lost city of Ys-Beneath-the-Waves and its accursed princess, Ahes Dahut.  Throughout the ages, some individuals find themselves caught in the whirlpool of magic surrounding this mystical site, and are drawn in by the phantom bells of the sunken city and the enchanting, enticing song of those trapped by its curse....

-------------- Rozenn the Druid was another challenge to redraw.  Rozenn is an important figure in the story of Ys-Beneath-The-Waves, but I never really clicked with her design.  As a result, she tended to be forgotten somewhat and I sought to rework her heavily.  The biggest change, evidenced by her ears, is a change from Bediz (human) to Eladan (Tuatha de Danaan).  I realized, despite Alvez being a land of diverse peoples, I only had Bediz in the original set of Marie-Morgane.  I made her clothing a little more subdued and earthy, without the garish patterns and twists of bright colours.

iceberg
( 5 / ? )
when the kingdom iceberg first came to be, more than five hundred years ago, it was under the leadership of duchess élisabeth martell who united the fighting lords and ladies of the region under her banner to push back against the peregrandian reign. élisabeth had lost her husband to the kingdom and she did not wish for her children to share their father's fate. thus, when the war for independence was over and a ruler for the newly independent country had to be found, one that could withstand peregrande kingdom a second or third or even fourth time, she was chosen to be queen by the lords and ladies she had fought alongside with and the old family crest of the martell family became the symbol of iceberg and its independence. queen élisabeth eventually succumbed to old age and was followed by her oldest daughter, queen marielle, who victoriously led the country through the first war with peregrande, but was killed in the last battle. having had no children of her own, a niece inherited the throne and, through smart negotiations and quick thinking, ushered in a century of peace in which the country thrived. 
under queen myléne's near legendary rule of fifty years, iceberg truly grew into one country with one heart, one soul. queen mylène also set precedent when it came to spouses of the queen as she married a kitchen boy for love despite the council's protest, claiming that after her aunt's rule, they should think themselves lucky that she bothered to think about a successor at all, rather than handing this responsibility to her siblings. the love story between the queen and the servant is still a beloved icebergian tale, though it has been embellished over time and nowadays, few can tell what it myth and what is accurate history. what  is   known is that they had three daughters and two sons and that the youngest daughter became queen noèmi after her older sisters did not wish to become queen when their mother stepped down at the ripe age of sixty-four.
along the centuries, this pattern repeated multiple times, especially when the previous ruler had only stepped down at a high age and the heir apparent had found herself settled in a life of her own with family of her own while the youngest sister --- and in most cases, only a sister was a serious competition for the throne --- had not yet done such a thing and could fill the spot more easily. and as time passed, iceberg got used to its queens, considering the occasional king --- who typically never ruled long --- an exception, or even saw him as someone who would only rule until a daughter would come and take the responsibility of his hands and into her own where, according to the firm belief of the country, it belonged.
it does not surprise that the closest the country has ever come a civil war was when queen rozenn died in childbirth, naming her husband regent until their daughter aline came of age. by the time princess aline turned seventeen, however, her father fancied himself to be king and not just regent. a choice that did not end well for him as his daughter gathered the support of the high-ranking ladies of the country, especially those her maternal uncles were married to, and ousted her father from the throne that did not belong to him. the man was thrown into the dungeon and never spoken of again. this served as a warning to all who might have made a similarly desperate grasp for power.
