Lovely Nonvul hasn't been drawn in months, and he deserves to have a chance to shine again!
I feel like I finally have the skill to properly convey his appearance, and I'm so glad to get the chance to do so.
As for his story, he *is* the adaptation of @99corentine ’s Chrysanthe, *buuuut,* I plan on working on his story separately, to really expand upon it and give him what he deserves. He won't be much of an AU anymore, though, and so I'll be going through and adding ‘oc: Nonvul’ tags to all of my previous arts. I hope this decision is understandable
It's crazy how much he's grown from just... well, Chrysanthe in Dragon Priest robes, heh.

Something fun I like to think about with my Falmer LDB is them running around with Miraak collecting the dragon priest masks. Miraak being okay with going but being the one to loot their bodies, because once upon a time some of them were his family.
All except for Ahzidal. The dragon priest who used his knowledge of magic, taught by the elven races, to assist in destroying the Snow Elves. The LDB just looking stiff once they figure out who's tomb they're in. They get quieter as they cut down the draugr to get to the priest. Collecting his artifacts without stating why, just picking them up as they go.
Then Miraak sees the LDB enter a state of rage he's all too familiar with. Seeing Ahzidal trying to regain power with the corpses of the miners is too much. He becomes soul trapped by the LDB as one last act of revenge and they just break. Miraak tells Ralis to leave and they won't kill him. Then just sits with LDB until they can no longer angrily cry. He doesn't even need to say anything, just being there is enough.
Rage and grief as powerful as that doesn't burn away, Miraak would know that personally.

thoughts on dragon priests? how they're chosen, what they Do, the relation between them and their dragons, etc? ever since finding out about zaan the scalecaller and thurvokun i've been mildly obsessed with the dragon priests but we're given so little...
So I think each preist has a dragon for example Zaan and Thurvokun. As for why the dragons choose someone is entirely up to the dragons, they don't need to provide a reason they're the mighty god dragons they could litterally pick a child and say that's my preist (which in my headcannons did with Zaan)
This does cause some annoyance for the preists they can't openly speak about as the job of a dragon priest is the same in the lore, they're rulers over parts of the area that dragons controled (we know Aludin's group controled into hammerfell and high rock to Solstime and Bleakrock so it wasn't just main land skyrim). So now because a 15 yo had vibes a dragon liked you have to teach her how to do taxes and speak Dovahzul (as I think Dovahzul was not the common language, it was like the church preserving latin)
So there's not a set in stone process of how one becomes a dragon priest, but not evey dragon can have a preist either. It's usually just those high ranked enough to have a significant portion of land to rule over and there for needs a preist to govern that land because dragons don't care about repairing the plumbing system.
This did all start with Heimverlund in Atmora, where he met Alduin and the two teamed up to overthrow (Alduin could destroy everyone yes but if he had a mortal pawn he could rule easier because mortals spread the idea that dragon rule is good so less uprisings) and gave Heimverlund a mask making him Nahkriin who is the high priest. Morokei being old friends with Nahkriin even before they where preists became his second in comand with Odahviing being his dragon (not Parthurnax he got Krosis).

On my annual miraak kick and I got to thinking..thoughts on konahrik (ldb imo, or at least one that embraces the mask) and miraak being actual soulmates? Could be sweet could be tragic-

"You were born a slave," said Konahrik. "Do you not wish for freedom?"
The sightless eyes of the Falmer gazed straight ahead. "My people learned long ago," said she, "that to wish for the impossible would be too much to bear."
Tried a bit of a fancier style for an upcoming scene from my fic Death and the Maiden.

A commission for @lilarus ! This was an honor, and a blast all around— from color, to the overall theme.. I am very happy with this one. I also have a scanner now, so watch out! Hot, high quality art images in your area!
This one was a doozy, I wish it hadn't taken as long as it did, but the payoff was well worth, I'd say! Thank you again, buddy.
Click image for higher quality!
If you'd like to commission me, my sheet can be found here, or in the pinned post on my main blog @metallic-scaled-scarf . As of now, I have 2/3 slots open!

i have a mild cold so i've decided that the dragon priests Miraak, Morokei, and Vokun would, too, act incredibly overdramatic and miserable about any sickness ever. Maybe Hevnoraak too
