From next long distance relationship question
What will RO (in relationship) react when MC go visit RO after long months they didn't see each other?
Irus: He's definitely going to cling to the MC and refuse to let go.
Elora: A lot of dates and spending time just talking to each other.
Oren: He's just happy to be reunited with the MC and will happily do nothing if it means they're together.
Anu: A lot of holding, smooching and other behind-closed-doors activities.

Just read crown of exile from @ramonag-if and it was amazing! I couldn’t help but draw my mc along with Prince Irus and a sketch of Anu. I’m in love with all the characters though so maybe I’ll draw the other ros too.

Prince Irus & Rubari
As you step through the doorway, you are greeted by the sight of the banquet. The hall has been transformed into one of splendour and extravagence. A long table sits in the centre of the room, with nearly a hundred chairs placed on either side. Around you, servants hurry around the room, carrying trays of drinks and food.
You notice Prince Irus seated across a olive skinned man, as they laugh loudly. Hurrying towards where he sits, you finally seem to catch his attention. Blinking, Prince Irus' eyes widen at your appearance and for a moment, you wonder if you have intruded some sort of private discussion.
"Rubari," he breathes. "You look... I mean..." ©

A warning: ahead is a very very long essay-slash-ramble about Salyra, a character from Crown of Exile by @ramonag-if . I have a lot of thoughts about her complexities as a character as well as the tragedies of her relationship with the MC, so I figured I should just put them all into words before I explode. If you haven't read CoE yet, please do — you won't regret it!! Especially if you're a huge fan of complicated, "okay wow this hurts" family angst and heart melting romance. 🥹✨✨
Salyra is someone who possesses the self-created tragedy of a hero. When Salyra believes in something, she believes in it with her whole heart, and she'll stop at nothing to fight for it. She's... the hero that many adore, but hurts those closest to her, directly or indirectly. Like her family, who've heard nary a word from her for all those years, not knowing if she was alive or dead. Like the MC.
Salyra's sacrificed countless things for her cause, and those sacrifices sometimes involved the hearts of those who loved her.
She's willful. Willful and determined. Great qualities for a rebellion's leader/figure of inspiration; not so much for when you're trying to patch up a relationship with your child who had long thought you dead, and had suffered for it.
It's like she thinks that if she pushes enough, if she shows MC the depths of her sincerity, it'll make MC accept her after all those years. It doesn't. For certain MCs, anyway. It only serves to push them further away.
Right, this is going to swerve into more specific territory. I'll be going into a little more detail on my MC's relationship with Salyra. The relationship between Salyra and my MC just... fascinates me.
Salyra is the high priestess, adored by the people of Ishari. MC... is MC. They were discriminated, mistreated, and followed with gazes of spite and distrust in Cyre because of their Ishari blood. Once MC returned to Ishari, they were greeted with — surprise, surprise — even more gazes of distrust and suspicion! Partly because of their blood guard parentage, partly because of their loyalty to the exiled prince, etc etc.
You stare at Rana, suddenly conflicted with anger and betrayal. You never wanted a sister, you only wanted a mother. Rana stares at you, suddenly gripping onto Mama's arm and twisting behind her, as if afraid to look up at you. A look of disappointment flashes through Mama's eyes, but it is directed at you, not Rana.
It is a look you remembered Mama using when anyone would upset you as a child and now, you find yourself bearing the full force of her frown. You would laugh were it not so painful to think about the life you were robbed while Mama evidently moved on.
"Avriel," Mama murmurs. "You are my son and I know that I have not always been there for you, but I would like to remedy that. We cannot gain back what we have lost, but we have time now to find each other again."
"I need to go," Mama murmurs. "Rana needs me, Avriel. So does Danzor."
For a moment, you catch sight of your mother, but she does not see you. After returning to the temple, she has washed and changed, the priestesses who had been chanting earlier, now crowding around her.
Anu called Mama the High Priestess and you cannot help but wonder just how long she has been in Ishari.
It's these. These scenes. Salyra has built a life in Ishari, a life without the MC. A loving family, a figure loved by the people... this is all that MC knows of who Salyra is now. The Salyra presented to him is a hero. A golden existence, a light in the dark, fearless leader of the rebellion.
(They need you? What about me, Mama? Do I not need you as well?)
(Those who had looked at you with suspicion now look at her with respectful, even admiring eyes. Salyra has a life here. But you — you are just the same. You are an outsider still, whether in Cyre or Ishari.)
Avriel is genuine and soft hearted, but he has a spine of unbending steel. He is proud. All those years mourning Salyra, grieving for her, only to find her alive and well in Ishari and with a family that she so clearly (and here we have a peek into Avriel's pain induced bitter thoughts, because honestly, that sad and angry child from so long ago never truly left him) prioritizes over him.
It's like his life has been rendered into a bitter joke.
What does Salyra want from him? Does she expect him to come and go as she pleases, there when she wants him and gone when she doesn't? Is he expected to wait in the wings as Salyra tends to her new family, only playing the part of a loving son when her eyes turn to him once more? Salyra, his mama. Salyra, now the head priestess, looked upon with respect by the very people who had looked at him with such suspicion.
(^ Above is Avriel's current thought process. Yes, he's a real mess. Irus is having a hell of a time soothing him, as the usual gentle-eyed man is currently very much like a wounded cat with its claws out and teeth bared, eyes set in a glacial glint.)
And honestly, those words might be quite unfair to Salyra. We do not know what she's experienced. Not yet. But are the words left spoken and unspoken between mother and child always fair? I think not. Salyra's expectations of MC could be called unfair as well, depending on the MC you're playing.
I just. I just find this so tragic. Salyra is a deeply complex character. Her greatest strengths are also her deepest flaws. Ironic, how the qualities that made her a hero could be the very thing that chills the heart of her child. I remember you said that Salyra will wise up on how to treat the MC in a future chapter, but wow. The tragedy of Salyra being her own undoing and the detoriation of the relationship between lauded mother and outcast child is just. Wow.
Also. leaving this here because Irus + Nearly Feral with Rage MC is everything:
You nearly laugh, the bitter rage that has been festering beneath your skin like a swarm of wasps, threatens to erupt from your skin. Prince Irus settles a hand on your shoulder and instantly, you are looking at him, noting the concern in his gaze. All at once, the rage leaves you, until you can finally breathe once more.
#aspen rambles#ok WOW that got long#really long#salyra is so deeply tragic#and she makes me so angry#but so fascinated#won't stop my mc from going head to head with her tho#crown of exile#coe: salyra#coe: rana#oc: avriel#avriel is having an awful very not good time in ishari#irus has his hands full because mans is ready to BITE#avriel has very much perfected his Glacial Stare™ and the rare times it comes out instantly makes the room temp drop several hundred degree#alr that's all thank you everyone

What if MC behaves with their children the same way Alf treated them? MC loves his children and will protect them and won't let anyone say a bad word about them, but they are cold and distant. What will be the reaction of the RO?
Even after all the damage the MC went through as a child, you'd still want an MC like Ahlf 😔🥲
Irus: He doesn't know what a good parent is supposed to look like but he knows for certain it isn't how the MC is acting. He'd try to talk to the MC to tell them that they need to be more present with their child.
Elora: She definitely knows how painful it can be to have a distant parent and will give the MC a good talking-to so that they can remedy their issues before it's too late.
Oren: He's happy enough to give his and the MC's child extra love and attention but will have a heart-to-heart with the MC about their actions/behaviour when they're alone.
Anu: She wouldn't notice anything wrong with the MC's distance unless it started to negatively affect their child but if it didn't, there's no problem here.

Alright....look i know i being petty and bossy now but i really want to know what will RO going to react to overworked MC
Here are my question it was same question MC was doing too much work and get up from the bed during night to do work but this time MC was pass out on desk and in morning MC was sick but they still try to work again what will RO going to do to MC?
Don't worry, you're not being petty or bossy 😋
Irus: He'd force the MC to take a day off of work, even if it meant using his sexual appeal to get his way.
Elora: She's a workaholic too. She'd probably join the MC in working through the night and through sickness. I mean if you're going to work yourself to death, might as well do it together.
Oren: He'd tell the MC that they need a break and will physically carry them away from their work if the MC refuses to listen.
Anu: She isn't going to tell the MC to stop working but once the MC gets sick, she is going to call them out for not taking care of themselves.

Hey Author love your work!!
I’m not sure if this was asked before if yes feel free to not respond ill find it eventually if not! How would the RO’s react to a Mc that always kisses them good morning (like never fails) one day forgets to do so (ofc bcz they felt busy in the head) and continued on with their day?
I hope you have a good day <3
This was definitely asked somewhere, some time ago but I can't find the ask and I'd be surprised if you did too, Anon 😅
Irus: Did he do something wrong? Is the MC ignoring him on purpose or have they hit their head and got amnesia. Either way, Irus is not chancing it and will smooch the MC the first chance he gets.
Elora: She's not one to overreact over the MC forgetting to kiss her good morning because she can see the MC is busy - she's busy too. But if it happens more than once, she'll start questioning the MC about the lack of kisses.
Oren: He's just happy the MC is with him, kisses or not. If the MC did forget to kiss Oren, he probably wouldn't notice unless someone pointed out how busy/distant the MC was being.
Anu: Anu wouldn't care at first. Then if it happens again and with more frequency, she'd pull the MC aside and demand to know why they aren't bestowing her with morning kisses.

I just keep coming back to your story, it's comfort fic for me now. 💚 I had an RO ask if you were okay with that?
I'm curious how the ROs would react to an MC who left them little love notes in their stuff, especially if they knew they were going away on a long trip?
I'm glad the game can be comforting for you to keep playing it 💖I think a variation of this ask was asked a while back but I'll answer again since it's so cute. I'm a little foggy-brained so I'm taking this question to mean that the MC leaves notes for the ROs because the ROs are going away on a trip and not the MC.
Irus: He'd suddenly feel sad about leaving and will try to find a way to bring the MC with him or to find someone to travel in place of him.
Elora: She'd be touched by the MC's notes and would make sure to keep the notes somewhere safe so she could read them whenever she was missing the MC.
Oren: He'd tear up because of the sweet gesture from the MC and would probably build a shrine to house the notes.
Anu: It's a nice note but she's not going to admit that to anyone. She'd hide the notes from others and would only read them when she's certain no one could see her reading them.

The realms have found peace and the era of bloodshed is over. But many have escaped judgment for the cruelties inflicted on those who stood against Virion and his soldiers dressed in red.
Reprise your role as the main character from Crown of Exile and journey into the wilds in search of those who plot against the newly crowned King Irus and the stability of the realms.
Your journey will be a difficult one, but together with a loyal steed and your wits for survival, you will set out to complete your task.
Crowning Glory is a bonus game which is rated 17+ for violence, vulgar language and mentions of fictional war.
Available to play: Prologue
Play the early access here.
You will need a password to access the game - @_M1ghty_5Te3D
This game was previously only available to my Patrons but I figured that it'll be a while before I can continue working on it so for now, I'm releasing it to the public. Please note that the game is still very much in development and I'll likely post a completed version once the main game is completed. This is not a sequel to Crown of Exile but acts as a short game that takes place after the events of the main game (where the main goal of Irus reclaiming his throne succeeds).

👑 Crown of Exile Official Cover 👑
It's here, the official game cover for Crown of Exile has been completed by Ludmila, the artist I commissioned.
This will be the main image used on the Steam page once the game is released. The cover features the main character surrounded by the endless war that features throughout the game.
I'm really pleased with how the cover turned out and I hope you enjoy staring at it like I did 😅

The second part of the mini-update for Chapter 9 is now up and playable for Ishari Tier Patrons.
Play the game here.
The update schedule is as follows:
8 April 2024: Ishari Tier Patrons ($15)
11 April 2024: Vinia Tier Patrons ($10)
16 April 2024: Cyre Tier Patrons ($5)
23 April 2024: Nomad Tier Patrons ($2)
New to the update:
Added around 37K of code and words. Word count will probably range between 30-35K;
Added more name options at the beginning of the game;
A late-night chat with Zikar (optional);
The Vinia family one-on-one scenes;
A memorial ceremony (optional) to honour Yara and Ahlf;
Dialogue scenes with Rana; and
Choose to give Rana her gift (based on earlier decisions).
This is the family portion of the chapter, so you'll not get any RO scenes this time. It mostly deals with the arrival of the Vinia family in Ishari, so if the family or Rana doesn't interest you, I suggest waiting for the next (and final) portion of Chapter 9's update.
Enjoy!
