They are Arslan's real mother and father for me.

I don't care what the canon says :3

I think there's just something in the way even Narsus was stumped when before he said something like “I fear nothing that talks” when faced against a sorcerer, but this time he's up against a true monster.

I know I've brought up this quote by Aozaki Touko from Kara no Kyoukai a lot but:

“There are three conditions to terrify someone: One, the monster can't speak. Two, the monster has to be unidentifiable. Three, it's meaningless if the monster can die.”

Zahhak, at present, qualifies for two of the three conditions, but can be stretched to all three since the characters don't know where he originated from, how he came to be. Even Kaykhusraw could not kill him.

Details from the novels concerning exactly how corrupt the priesthood are! To set the scene, it's Pars Era 317, Daryun has gone off to Serica and Narsus's proposed reforms are causing ripples and creating enemies among the priests and nobels, leading to the priests demanding that Andragoras exile Narsus from court.

'Narses, you see, had also been investigating the priests’ abuse of their privileged positions to perpetrate sundry transgressions. Not only were the priests exempt from taxes, even if they were to commit a crime, they would not be arrested or executed. They lent money to the peasantry at exorbitant interest rates and seized their lands when the money could not be repaid. They also monopolized the underground kariz aqueducts and reservoirs, imposing a water tax on the people. If anyone resisted, they sent forth their personal troops to burn and pillage, and afterwards divvied up the spoils. The salt they sold to the public was cut with sand. If the peasantry dug their own wells, they poisoned the wells. After investigating and collecting proof of all these misdeeds, Narses requested that the king exact severe punishment upon the priests.' (Book 1, Chapter 2, part i)

Andragoras fails to act, and the priests send assassins after Narsus at this point. It's worth noting that, even after deciding court is really not for him and fucking off for a peaceful life in Mt. Bashur, Narsus really did try to get Andragoras to open his eyes and do something about the corruption and injustice he had seen.

'When he absconded from court, Narses left behind a letter for King Andragoras. As Dariun’s uncle Vahriz put it, this was a rather uncalled for gesture. Nonetheless, in it Narses had written out a critique of the rampant corruption within the administration — of putting a halt to the priests’ moneylending, of entrusting management of the kariz to peasant representatives, of instituting a justice system unaffected by rank or position, and other such suggestions. O my liege, I beg you: open your eyes and bear witness to the true condition of your government! If only you were to look past that which is beautiful on the surface and face the ugly reality beneath, what a blessing that would be!' (Book 1, Chapter 2, part ii)

"I have a mage!"

Arslan Senki : : Narsus, Daryun, Zandeh, Gurgin

(All is clear now about Narsus & Daryun quarrel :D And oh you know it's just a joke, I'm big fan of Narsus & Daryun, really.)

Interesting, Tanaka says Narsus dislikes magic a lot, but nevertheless he know how to resist it. How do you think, could Narsus learn magic? Or one needs some king of innate superpower to become a sorcerer?

So I actually have created a small and simple timeline for my Arslan AU. ( I am actually writing a new chapter for the story and yes I am really, really slow). The Timeline is not fully complete, for example the year where Narsus became Lord of Daylam missed and I am not really sure with every canon data. So they will mixed up a bit with my AU and the canon data. A big thanks @tired-reader-writerfor the help to collect some year numbers and canon events.

In the timeline are some events from my AU that are a bit of a spoiler and I hope I can dissolve them with the new chapter I actually write. Hopefully I can posted it in a few days xD.

Arslan Senki Reread

Commentating through brain fog because I seem to have fallen sick, do forgive me if there isn't much!

I wonder if this riverbank is the same one where Vahriz was killed.

They've been working so hard, I feel them. I too collapsed of relief when holidays finally came, LOL.

This panel with the stack of flatbread reminded me of a Tasting History video I watched a while back, quote:

“And while I don't know this for a fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the rather stackable loaves we're making today are the same type of bread mentioned in a document from the reign of Mentuhotep III.

"I advance with an army of three thousand. The battle arena extended to the river in desert, I gave every man a skin of hide and a long stick to carry things as well as two buckets of water, and twenty loaves of bread for each day's ration."

I mean, twenty loaves, they've gotta be pretty stackable to carry them around I think.”

It's from this video:

No particular commentary, I just really loved seeing these panels.

See this discussion I had with @lanonima about Arslan's character, how his development involves not him getting rid of his core traits (kindness) but growing so that he may keep being the person he wishes to be.

Just accept the appreciation, my boy. You deserve it.

I wonder what Narsus meant by “All this is but an illusion. Pay it no mind.”

They!

"I've heard that you advised my father to end the slave trade, "and so he removed you from the post of royal historian. "I've given the same advice, and been reprimanded for it."

...Gurgin and Ranna claw-nail buddies

YES 👀

Also Yoshitaka Amano's Narsus, check these out:

Actually let me post the whole illustration even though it's only tangentially relevant, because it's one of my favourites.

This is, by far, the most attractive version of Narsus to me. This particular illustration is from Book 10: A Gathering of Clouds.

Honestly, if I didn't already know what Amano's Narsus looks like, you could have told me this was an illustration of the Holy Master himself and I would have believed you 100%. Funnily enough, Narsus is described as having an air of evil/wickedness to his expression in this scene, where the characters are speculating about what will happen in Misr with Hilmes. It's amusing and I can't blame Narsus for having an attitude of 'wouldn't it be great if Prince Hilmes died in a foreign land and never returned to Pars to cause trouble again' but damn, the line about hoping that his boat sinks still fucking hurts me for some reason.

"Storms at sea are unpredictable. The ship may capsize, upon which poor Prince Hilmes will become shark bait, for even though his talents are outstanding, unfortunately he has alway had bad luck." Ouch.

(The insight into Daryun's view on Hilmes provokes a similar reaction in me; again, it's totally reasonable that Hilmes is an enemy who he would fight and kill on sight for more than one reason, but... the fact that despite this, Daryun feels a bit of sympathy for him because even though the hardships of his youth were in the past, as an adult, no matter what his dreams expand to, he always falls short just as he approaches success. Ouch again.)

(Let me also just share Daryun's thought that 'the fact that Prince Hilmes was born in the same era as Narsus can only be said to be his misfortune'.)

Like, objectively some of this is quite funny but I do feel saddened by the 'Hilmes sucks and he should die'-ness of it all. And it's even worse because you know Hilmes hates being pitied and they definitely are finding him pitiful here.

Clearly I am doomed to have Hilmes thoughts at the slightest provocation, I did not intend to type all this out but here we are.

#arslan senki #the heroic legend of arslan #yoshitaka amano #narsus #this particular illustration is just 👌 #hilmes #i hope his luck is better in the manga #anyway if it was at all doable for me #i would 100% have black stiletto nails too #how can a scene be so fucking funny yet also wound me deeply?

Headcannon: Being Narsus S/o

Anime: The heroic legend of Arlsan

• You're quite the compatible type, even with a 16 year old that your husband saved.

• Of course the man wraps an arm around you, give you the reassuring you need.

• seeing how good your husband is with a sword, you two spar when you two can.

• Not that Narsus is afraid to leave you alone, but mostly because you wanted to be a use in the company

• You two LOVE to go through the bazaar and check out the items on display.

• Narsus mostly to exotic paint colours and brushes

• Also, outsmarting this man is impossible. He can predicted every move you want to make.
