Summary: Galadvell i Morien have defeated the Netherbrain and saved Baldur's Gate, yet their story does not end with victory over the Absolute. Karlach and Wyll are trapped in Avernus, facing legions of devils and hordes of demons as the fiends wage the Blood War. Shadowheart is ready to depart for a new life with her rescued parents, while Gale and Astarion seem ready for whatever future may find them. Tavrian of the Azure Glade stands at a crossroads, hoping to live with his beloved, unable to leave his friends behind. Where will they go, now that their Quest has been finished?

Words: 9,726

Chapter one of my ending to BG3 is out now! This was a lot of fun to write, and even more fun to torture Tavrian :) Also first time hinting at a Bloodweave ship, hopefully I do them justice.

Samuel and the Great Serpent: A Choka

There was a fine man,

Lord Samuel of Great Oaks,

In the time before

The plague stretched out its cold hands.

He was beloved

By the rare Lady Fina,

And upright squire

Of fell knight Tristan Sexwulf.

Blackstone was his home,

In fair Sylvan Aethelmearc,

Homeland of heroes,

Son to Baron Cunedda.

To White Hart he went,

There to show his fine prowess.

Samuel stood there

In a shining white surcoat

Made new for this fight

By the dear lady Rannveig,

Who took him aside, saying

"Don't harm my handwork!"

The tourney was joined;

Sword met shield with joyous sound!

Samuel's guard slipped,

He took his blow with honor,

And tasted loss first.

Then his father turned to him,

To his son saying

"Alas my gauntlets are lost!

Son, go and find them."

So Samuel  went as  bid

To find the shining war gear.

He left the list field,

And went where danger waited-

For a lady came

Crying out in great distress;

Her child had fallen

Into the cold water there,

The brown Guyandotte-

Swift and cold with melted snow.

Forgetting all else,

Armored neck to knees in gear,

He did not tarry

But ran he to the river,

A bowshot or more,

Armor ringing as he went-

Lamellar and all

Bazubands and surcoat fine,

To the cold water

To save the child in peril.

The boy child held fast

To a twisted gray tree trunk

Felled by an old storm

As the water pulled at him.

Samuel jumped down

A spear's length into water;

The cold embraced him

But his courage was flaming.

Samuel struggled,

Pulled himself hand over hand

Until he could reach-

He held the child up on high

Head above water.

Though armor's weight clawed him down,

Samuel held on

Held his breath against the dark

That pulled at them both.

The water drove them along

As fighters came fast

Called from White Hart's list field

To Guyandotte's side.

Alonzio Peacemaker

Cast forth his knight's belt

To draw Samuel and child

From the cold brown grip.

Many hands lifted them then

From the dreadful cold.

Sir Marek saw the ice hand

Help Lord Samuel,

And brought him warmth to save him.

As for the tourney,

All owned that it was over-

For here was courage,

Cheating the long brown serpent

Of the prey it took

In the fury of its flood!

But Samuel went then

All shamefaced before Rannveig,

All apologies

For having stained her surcoat!

Rannveig laughed out loud,

And told him linen comes clean,

But far more than this,

That his honor was stainless.

So Samuel won the day,

Honored his lady,

And truly was champion-

Not by strength of sword,

But by daring and great heart.

Let his wordfame live!

~Morien

i often think about how like, characters from one romance feel after the fall of camelot like imagine being morien and getting news of camelot and its like remember those two silly guys who you went on an adventure with when you were 13 well one of them killed the other one and became a monk. like how do u deal w that.

#arthuriana #arthurian literature #arthurian legend #tbh i think about what adult morien is up to a lot in general #morien my dearly beloved

[yotd2009]

hiiii can u please advise me on where to start with reading arthuriana ? i am fascinated by it and love it very much , but i just read arthurian encyclopedias and such … i would like to read actual texts if that makes sense . thank u :-)

!!!!!! don't worry you make perfect sense and i'd absolutely love to give you a few starter text recommendations, i'm going to link ways to read all of them online bc physical copies are uh. incredibly hard to come by for most texts. also, brace yourself for fifty wildly different variants of each name, usually there's some sort of appendix you can read to know who's who, or you can rely on context clues.

first off i legally have to recommend the byelorussian tristan bc it's. kinda a part of my brand. and my favorite book... ever, even outside of arthurian stuff. it's believed to be one of, if not the last entry in the arthurian canon, and certainly in the tristian canon, and it's so good. it's a retelling of a lost slavic text that was a retelling of tavola ritonda, the italian retelling of the prose tristan. it's really well-written and the only version of the tristan and isolde story where they both get to live, highlights include galehalt basically asking tristan to join his marriage (i say marriage in reference to his relationship with lancelot bc theyre kinda. uh. bfs would be an understatement), palomydes having two swords (it's bc he's That skilled at fighting and also bc he's bisexual) as well as lending one of those swords to tristan, galahad briefly showing up to fight tristan and lancelot, then getting embarrassed that he fought his dad and just? dying or something?? and the worst kei name variant out there (geush.....). overall, i have to recommend this one bc if it had been my starter text i know i would have immediately read every medieval text i could find, and bc it's the text that actually made me like tristan.

also i'd like to note that tavola ritonda, the byelorussian tristan's italian predecessor is pretty good if i remember correctly, i never finished it bc i got busy with school stuff but i know i liked what i did read of it and that a lot of arthurian tumblr would recommend it. if i wasn't on green knight lockdown i'd probably pick it back up right now.

other tristan-related recs include chevrefoil by marie de france, it's incredibly short and makes me kinda sad for unknown reasons, it's also what got me invested in tristan and isolde's relationship, strassburg's tristan, yet another text i started and then dropped bc of school related reasons, i remember i liked what i read of it though, trystan and esyllt, a welsh tristan and isolde text which is. incredibly different from the normal tristan and isolde story, but it's short, lighthearted and fun in the way welsh texts are, and uhhhh the prose tristan which i mentioned earlier, i've read the whole thing and it didn't really stand out to me (albeit its been a while) but it's what most people will point you to if you want to get into tristan and isolde.

stepping away from tristan and isolde, there's culwch and olwen, which is believed to be the first arthurian text, it's kinda short and fun in the way that welsh texts always are, it's about this kid whose stepmother cursed him to only be able to marry the daughter of this giant, who will never let her marry bc there's some curse that says he'll die on her wedding day, so the giant gives this giant list of impossible tasks and arthur, culwch, kei and co. set out to do them and only like. 3. are actually mentioned more than once. it's fun and i like welsh kei.

next are the dutch texts which are. so good. they're so good. they're all right here bc i don't feel like linking each different one. my first rec is lancelot and the hart with the white foot, which, despite being named after lancelot, is really about gawaine. it's short and fun and the remarkable (lancelot x gawaine) fans adore it. next is the roman van walewein which is. absolutely off the rails. basically this magic chessboard shows up in arthur's court and walewein (gawaine) has to go after it, he ends up murdering a bunch of people, there's a talking fox who tries to steal gawaine's armor, gawaine gets thrown in his love-interest-of-the-week's torture dungeon, which has a secret tunnel connecting it to said love interest's rooms which she apparently had the arcitect of drowned (which is treated like a perfectly fine and normal thing by the text btw) where they presumably do bdsm or something, gringolet (gawaine's horse) kills a dragon with his hooves, it's wild. then there's walewein ende keye, kei tries to get rid of gawaine, gawaine goes and proves his honor, kei gets banished, gawine's a bit of an unlikable prick in this one but it's entertaining. and then there's morien, it's about this 13 year old who shows up looking for his deadbeat dad and gawaine and lancelot help him out, gawaine hijacks the plot but it gets back to morien by the end, also they have to rescue arthur. there are more dutch texts but these are just my favorites.

this has gotten longer than i originally intended so uhhh there's lanval by marie de france which is short. guinnevere's homophobic but in a funny way.

then there are the big famous ones and why they're bad starter texts, le morte de arthur and sir gawain and the green knight. le morte's giant and in middle english, if you must read it go for a translation, i've heard good things about this one but i haven't read it, overall it's not that good, especially in comparison with the vulgate and alliterative morte, don't read it unless you're already familiar with med lit and really invested in the characters, it's good for the book of gareth and a few short parts but overall kinda eh. as for sgatgk, it's just not a good first gawaine text bc he's so wildly different than he is in literally everything else, here are a ton of translations, it's best to go into it with the point of view that it was his first quest and looking for the themes and symbolism (gawaine fox motif my beloved) instead of the common approach which is looking for the gay kisses bc you'll get a lot more out of it that way.

i'd also like to anti recommend a solid 3/4s of modern arthuriana, especially anything derived from the *nce and f*ture k*ng by th wh*te or the m*sts of av*lon by m*rion z*mmer br*dley bc jfc those two have done. so much harm. to the genre. "modern" works i'd recommend usually tend more towards victorian poetry, highlights including anything by tennyson that doesn't involve tristan and isolde bc he has bad takes on them, but especially his stuff regarding elayne of astolat/the lady of shallot, bedevere, and gareth and lynnette, as well as everything by william morris but especially sir galahad a christmas mystery and palomydes's quest. you can find pretty much any victorian poem on the camelot project so i'm not going to go looking for them. also i've heard good things about ea robinson's poetry. but despite the few good modern works out there, it's best to get rid of all pop-culture based notions of what arthuriana is before you go into the actual canon.

i feel like i'm going to remember at least three texts i left out like an idiot but this has gotten long enough, if you have anymore questions just ask i absolutely love introducing people to arthuriana.

Cape Breton community takes a digital dip during pandemic

Cape Breton community takes a digital polar dip amid pandemic

Throughout the Maritimes, polar bear dips are a New Year's tradition. However, with COVID-19 still a reality, physical distancing rules have halted countless events involving large groups of people. Despite precautionary measures preventing an in-person affair, one Cape Breton community remained committed to ringing in 2021 the best way it could – with a digital dip.

On a normal New Year's Day, Port Morien Beach would usually see dozens of brave people pack the shore for a bone-chilling plunge into the Atlantic Ocean. Amid a pandemic, that was not the case on Friday, with only a couple of people taking advantage of the beach's unoccupied state.

"My parents both said I could do it when I turned 10," said Brooklyn Sehl, who visited the beach with her father on Friday. "I turned 10 in the summer, so he had to hold up his promise."

"It was 'refreshing,'" said Max Sehl, who has been participating in the Port Morien Polar Dip since it began in 2013. "I'll put it that way.

Pandemic or no pandemic, Sehl promised Brooklyn they would take the plunge together in 2021, and that's exactly what they did – capturing the moment on video to share with the community.

With COVID-19 making it impossible for big crowds to assemble for the annual tradition, organizers imagined a new way to enjoy the beloved event by asking people to submit videos of themselves doing their dips – from a safe distance.

"We're asking people to be creative, and splash within their bubble," said Port Morien Polar Dip organizer, Katherine Snow. "This is such an important tradition for our community, and it's an important fundraiser for the Port Morien Legion and for hospice. We really didn't want to lose the momentum; this is our eighth year."

With hundreds of residents typically coming out to watch, the polar dip is arguably the event of the year in the small fishing village. While the community couldn't gather in the usual way, Snow says the goal for 2021's instalment was for people to feel a connection – while doing something daring.

"There's a fun buzz of adrenaline, and the atmosphere is so happy," says Snow. "We wanted to try and convey that to folks within their own bubbles."

Looking forward to the next year, Snow says she's hoping for a deluxe polar dip that will make up for 2021's lack of in-person fun.

"[For] 2022, we want to have the biggest event we ever had," says Snow. "We'd like to raise $20,000 next year."

Meanwhile, with many people hoping for better luck with 2022's edition of the event, the first day of 2021 ended with at least a couple of authentic beach dipping experiences and an introduction to a beloved tradition.

"That was awesome!" said Brooklyn.

#morien #ask

[the-kingshound]

I saw the true loves kiss post and had to ask after remembering the original snow white story. I believe after coffin was accidentally bumped she coughed up the apple chunk.

How would the ro's react to the MC just puking while waking up?

TW: throwing up.

Arthur: "ah, don't worry, sweetheart" he is alert and on your side by the second, his arm on yours as another retch shakes you. He makes sure you're as comfortable as you can get before calling Morien "how does a sweet herbal tea sound to get the taste out?"

Evaine: "Oh, ok." They will held you and keep your hair out of the way, massaging you gently and the only presence of their touch on your skin is enough to calm you down. "That's... fair. I know it's horrible, but it will stop soon, I promise."

Yniol: they do not seem surprised "ah" they explain later "I've seen my fair share of sick people. There is next to nothing I'm squirmish about, my little one."

For now, they make sure you're in a comfortable position, all things taken into account, and help you ride this out.

Morien: "Love, don't panic" they have their hands on you, keeping you steady and positioning you in a more appropriate way.

"This is quite normal," they assure you while another wave brutally hits you "I'm going to be here with you until it's over, and then I'll give you something for your throat."

Gwyar: they react instantly, making sure you will have something to throw up into and getting you some water for later. They do not even have to leave the room, and when they're back at your side you're tense and on the verge of tears.

"Shh, my balek*," they whisper, making small circles on your skin with cool fingers "I'm here."

Balek = beloved (in Gwyar's native tongue)

#ask #ROs #Arthur #Evaine #Yniol #Morien #Gwyar #I answered this ask because I think we have to somehow desensitize people to illness and being sick #it's something natural that we can't control and there's no need to feel ashamed or upset over it

Come Daylight-A Ghazal

Find me on a cold hillside come daylight,

For then I'll rise and ride come daylight!

 In My Luna waits in sweet night’s embrace,

In ember’s glow we bide. Come daylight!

 Though roads are rough and rare and forests deep,

We will not be denied come daylight!

 We have sought you, beloved, without sleep

Will hearts be satisfied come daylight?

 I hunt for that which my love could not keep

And now drags like night's tide; come daylight!

 Gray moon, gray dawn, gray horse,  gray hairs

But golden hope inside, come daylight.

 Though reason, strength, and rhymes may stumble

Still steed and spirit stride come daylight!

 And though in darkness  I may lose your path,

Your light is still my guide come daylight.

 Can you forgive your pious sinner 

Who nightly nurses pride? Come daylight!

And dreams of promises unspoken,

And  virtues laid all aside come daylight.

 ~Morien

[morienmacbain]

Calling On the Moon

I still recall my calling on the Moon,

   To ask that She, for mercy, send me soon

A light for my dark seasons, and my Heart~

  Whose vision had begun in pain to part

For lack of living food and Hope to find;

  So fasting sense is fast to make men blind

To all the treasures skin so moonlit pale,

  And ember'd tresses carry in their trail,

And lips about which honey'd breaths do go

  In words, in whispers, laughter warm and low,

And promise sweet as silver, and as bright,

  To patient Pilgrim, burning in the night.

 She blessed me then, that votaress of night,

  And gifted me with shadows of your light,

That eye, and ear, and heart did satisfy;

  May moonlight work more gifts for such as I!

For my beloved, done this Valentine's Day, ~MORIEN
