a lot of stories will take a so-called "golden age" period and go "hey it wasn't actually that good, in fact it kind of sucked for basically everyone but a few guys who benefitted from exploiting the rest" and i can respect that because i love a good exposure of the bones the system is built on, but the thing is i also kind of want more stories where it really was that good and just as horrifying for it. empires bursting at the seams with opulence, where gold really does run as freely as blood in the gem-encrusted streets. warriors clad in shining armour, with weapons so bright and sharp they hurt to look at. every day is overflowing with possibility, every night a party where people gorge themselves sick on sheer excess and still return for more. even the poorest man in the region lives in comparative luxury to his poverty-stricken peers elsewhere. and none of it is sustainable. it's collapsing under its own weight and the rot eating at its heart, its bottomless hunger barely kept at bay. it's a society that isn't built to last or be outlived.

Lmao just had a shameless lurk through the Ambroy tag as I often do but this time the Aasmir tag and firstly writes down his birthday for reasons and lmao got to the first post and a saw he had a human half brother in his lore and I being a furry apparently and too in love with the foppish unicorn version am curious on if he shares that same sibling? Or would he not be able to handle the competition
Yes he does still have a brother in Amaranthine!
Charles (or Charly, as Ambroys calls him) is his half-brother, technically, as Ambroys is quick to point out whenever their relation is mentioned. They share the same father, but have different mothers. Unlike Ambroys, he's a mortal. Also unlike Ambroys, he's a very sweet, humble, good-natured guy; the Gallant to Ambroys' Goofus.
Their relationship is, erm, fraught. As you might predict, any conflict they have can be laid squarely at the hooves of a certain unicorn. To say he "can't handle the competition" is an extremely prescient characterization of their familial situation.
