crown of shadows and sword of fealty.

"unlove me, i dare you." (excuse the lack of animal features on the fire lady as well as pointy ears on our fae characters in general, i'm forever restricted by footage sigh) this was made three weeks ago but im only posting it now bc im lazy like that. to understand the positions of the two characters this video is about, you first must understand a bit of fae politics. you see, once upon a time the high king had a queen by his side whom he promised a world and in return, she gave him a daughter. but then the shadows whispered to the queen, they whispered of great power and conquests her daughter would bring. and so the queen took the young princess and brought her back to her own court, where she gathered strength and alliences in preparation of what's to come. as the high princess came of age, whispers of war spread, now louder than ever before. many courts pledged themselves to the estranged queen, the fae realm was split in two and in the midst of world breaking apart, our future high queen fell in love. (view genral notes about fae for details about courts and their division) fionn was sent to the high king's service where he trained to be a soldier, aiming to rise through ranks with time. when the queen left the high court, she took fionn with her and made him captian of her personal guard. he was quiet and focused, and loyal to the bone. still, the queen never let him forget his parents' shame, not that he would ever be able to forget as it is. now, after decades of traning and proving himself, he was tasked with guarding one person whose choices will shape the future of the fae realm. and fionn was in too deep to even consider turning his back. scathach wasn't her name, but it was a title worn by the every past and future ruler of the shadow court. it was her mother's heritage, and it ran deep in her blood and shaped her very bones. her mind was sharp and her wit even sharper. like every fae, she was vain and cruel in her games and she always got what she wanted. except for one thing. and for him, she was ready to betray her mother and heritage. and so the princess of shadows whispered her name to set her lover free and then... then there was chaos. side note: both the estranged queen and the princess have the power to read minds, sometimes even control them but it's not as easy as it sounds and as days and years pass, the princess contiunes to grow stronger, surpassing even her mother. this power is present only in the ruling family of the shadow court, although some fae belonging to the court can be gifted with it too. it's very rare though. ouble side note: fionn's magic particulary deals with enforcing objects with greater strength. some general notes about fae rules: knowing fae's true name gives an individual the power to control their actions so most of their "fake" names are reference to either their position, a certain skill or a deed they had perfomed in the past. fae cannot lie, not outright anyway, which makes them master wordsmiths - triple meaning is everything. fae identify themseleves as either seelie or unseelie, both of which have lesser branches and names portraying to certain magical abilities or physical attributes. the general rule is that the fae who are able to shapeshift and or have physcial animal attributes belong to the unseelie while the ones whose magic is less elemental based belong to the seelie. of course, there are exceptions. fae realm is divided into ten major courts which are governed by their respective ladies and lords, although there are many smaller ones that are incorporated under one of the major ones. all the courts however, are ruled over by a high king or queen whom they owe their obediance and alligiance. two our of those ten courts are viewed sparetely: the high court and the keep. the first one is located in the very heart of the fae realm and is home to the rulling soverign and their offsprings while the latter one is neutral when it comes to politics and its inhabitants, the keepers, concern themselves only with gathering and storing knowledge. as for the other courts... the seelie ones are: the shadow court (manifesting thoughts into shadows and manipulating them), the light court (illusions and healers), the star court (seers, destiny gatherers) and the weilder court (imbuing magic into objects). the unseelie ones are: the wolf court (winter), the bear court (earth), the dragon court (fire) and the griffin court (air). iron is poison to all the fae. medalion rahimi as scathach, princess of the high court henry cavill as fionn, captain of the royal guard lee pace as the high king salma hayek as the estranged queen and lady of the shadow court ruairi o'connor as kavan, prince of the high court michelle pfeiffer as the star gazer's sister, fionn's lover emilia clarke as aodnait, lady of the dragon court #viddingisart​ #fanvidfeed #faeverse​ colouring: kindon18
