The Ring of Brass endures.
i have made the mistake of beginning this series at a very emotionally low point and now i am just.... grieving for all of these people. of this city. of this land and i don’t think i will be okay for a long, long while. i know this is not my usual terror content but i just ... made this and i wanted to save it somewhere. oh my god i’ve never watched d&d, let alone critical role before i literally don’t go here but this series.
i will need some time to recover but oh. i am just continuously weeping while drawing my hands are all curled up. i only wanted to see more of brennan lee mulligan because i saw a short on youtube and thought he was a comedian i did not expect this. (again i’m sorry for inflicting this upon you all and offer you a textless version ??)

'There is no god that strides this world that I worship more, than I worship your heart'
Evandrin Alterra, a starbound First Knight of Avalir.
Calamity left my heart in ruin, so I made this portrait. I needed some therapeutic moments to heal myself..

this is just wild speculation and conspiracy board nonsense but i'm sensing some uncomfortable parallels between zerxus/evandrin and orym/will.
two soldiers, in love, married happily. one, a half-elven man, dies tragically, unable to be resurrected, leaving the other heartbroken and grieving but determined to pick up the pieces left behind. that death unknowingly dooms the world--the first time, to the Calamity, the second, to Ludinus's partial success in releasing Predathos. they are able to speak to each other only when one of them is on the verge of death. Tree and celestial symbolism. A malevolent force wearing the dead one's visage (yu's half-elf form and asmodeus's original appeal to zerxus). making a promise to see each other again.
all this to say that it's a good thing Teven Klask latched onto Fearne instead of Orym. otherwise we might've had a problem.

“Remember Cerrit, the Eyes of Avalir, and his bravery.
Remember Nydas, the Dragon, and his sense.
Remember Patia Por'co, Keeper of Scrolls, and all the wisdom she brought.
Remember brave Zerxus and Evandrin, the First Knights of Avalir.
And remember the Architect Arcane, Laerryn, the most beautiful woman in the world…
I'm Loquatius Seelie saying: Seelie you later.”
Final part of my Calamity series! I couldn’t resist making a stained glass version of Loquatius’s final broadcast.

Evandrin laughs increases and so does Zerxus' worry.
His amber eyes follow as he paces their living room. "Is everything alright?"
Evandrin nods, unable to stop his laughing. "Perfect, this is... this is wonderful."
Zerxus takes a deep breath and leans back on the armchair, the invitation pinched between his fingers, allowing his husband the time to settle down. It was one piece of the most luxurious invitation box both had ever seen, parts now layed out over their dinner table.
The nervous laughter settles into a pained sound, deep dimple between his fair brows. "Oh my, I'm a terrible person."
"No, you're not." Zerxus leans forward, elbows to his knees, that look so close to the one he makes when Elias is misbehaving. "What is worrying you?"
"I'm not... worried, per se. I- I'm not ready to let go of Laerryn."
"She'll still be your best friend. She's just getting married, Van, she's not leaving for war. She's not even leaving the neighborhood!"
"That lucky bastard Loquatius. You know how long she and I had to hunt for even the crappiest apartment when we first got here? We almost slept on the streets cause everything was too expensive but we would've done it if it meant staying in Avalir..."
His smile slowly fades as the wave of nostalgia recedes, leaving just the memories on the sand.
Zerxus offers a kind smile. "You never told me that."
"Didn't I? I guess it just never came up before this." He casts his eyes upon the now empty velvet and gold invitation box.
"This is worrying me, you haven't had these doubts about them before."
"Because I didn't comprehend the depths of her feelings for him. I thought he was just a fun pastime, a spice to her life, a trinket of a friend. Yes, they've spent so much time together that even I started to get a little jealous, but I had imagined sooner or later she'd get sick of him. Laerryn is my twin soul but she doesn't talk to me about those big feelings. When she tried to explain it to me last week, when she told me they were getting married, I genuinely thought she was joking."
"Is Loquatius the cause of your worry?"
"No. Well, not exactly. I trust Laerryn's judgment. Even though he's quite the character... not to mention his newspaper thing is growing crazy fast and you know how these people in big media are! It was their own hubris that toppled the Zenith News before him."
"And you think it's a bad thing that he's successful?"
"Of course not. So long as he doesn't let it go to his head! Zerxus, I swear if he steps out of line and hurts Laerryn, I don't know what I'm capable of."
Zerxus gets up, towering over Evandrin by a few good inches, and places those heavy hands of his over his shoulders.
"I don't know Laerryn as much as you do, I never will, but if I know one thing about her is that she's a force to be reckoned with. She's also a really smart woman. It's takes a man of character and courage to claim her heart. Loquatius apparently has both."
"I wonder if he knows what he's getting into. She's a wonderful woman, but she's a challenge. I've told her as much many times before."
"They are quite different people but I don't think that's news to anybody."
Evandrin looks deep into his husband's eyes. "Love makes fools out of us."
Zerxus gives a hearty laugh. "Yes, you married me after all."
After a long laugh, he makes an exasperated sound, throwing his hands up. "Who would've thought!? Laerryn Coramar falling in love! Loving that person enough to get married! And so young..."
"Isn't she 130 something?"
"142. Which is quite young for a high-elf, not immature by any means but with centuries ahead of her. She's a sturdy one, I wouldn't be surprised if she lived well beyond a millennia. Which changelings certainly don't."
"Won't that mean she'll then be free to pursue other people in the future?"
"But she'll carry the grief of his loss with her. If he doesn't decide to whisk her away to the Fey realm, that is. Oh Zerxus, I don't even like thinking about it."
"I think it'd take more than an army to drag Laerryn away from the city she calls hers. I'm glad someone could find home here." Before Evandrin can comment on that, he continues. "I think the best way to put your soul at rest would be to talk to Laerryn herself. No one will be more straightforward about this."
"Maybe later, this is probably already enough pressure over her. Her first replenishment as Architect Arcane and now this, she doesn't need the added weight of me questioning the complex puzzle of her feelings."
Zerxus offers his hand which Evandrin takes readily.
"Do you trust her?"
Evandrin doesn't hesitate, not even for half a second.
"With my life."
"Then you can trust, whatever the either very simple or extremely convoluted explanation to this decision might be, that she knows what she's doing."

Blight
[Image Description: Painted fanart of Laerryn Coramar-Seelie. She is standing in the center of the image, holding her hand out to the viewer. Black ichor pours from her hand in the form of the blight spell. Behind her are several scenes, all related to the tree of names in the center. The tree is splitting down the middle, and red leaves spill wildly out of the top. A pair of eyes glow from the middle of the leaves, and near the split is a silhouette of Asmodeus. In the upper left, Evandrin and a toy boat can be seen in the branches. In the lower left, Loquatius and Patia are pierced by the tree. Patia is also being consumed by the tree. On the right, Laerryn and Nydas are seen from behind, looking into a bright light webbed by tree limbs. End description.]

Evontra’vir huh? An ancient tree spirit in the shattered teeth? Important to the Gau Drashari? In between and monitoring the cycle of life and death?
The name sounds awfully familiar… perhaps it’s been shortened by time and recollections of events differing…

Matt: Yeah Evontra’vir is just the part of his name he can remember, he’s forgotten his true name
Oh wow cool Matt! It must be such a fun coincidence that it sounds so much like Evandrin former first knight of Avalir, Zerxus’ believed dead husband who exists in a state between life or death as an astral being who was pushed from the material plane by the Tree of Names after an experiment gone wrong and was stuck in its branches for years :D
Such a fun coincidence :)))

Okay, cute Divorseelies playlist just hit me in the heart, so I’ll tease out the last little puzzle in Laerryn’s character.
And again, all of this with the grain of salt of “there were lots of directions the campaign could go, so the fact that it never went *here* means that it’s all really only glorified headcanon” but it’s interesting to note the implications of Laerryn’s protracted grief over the loss of Evandrin. During the campaign, we see her lose just about everyone she’s close to (most of the RoB but also Dweomer and Akami Rowe) and the only death she actually reacts to is Quay’s. Now, we never saw the shape of E & L’s relationship (especially pre-Zerxus because she *did* know him first,) but the ghost of it is rather telling.
Anyway, all of this to say that early conversations with Luis about Evandrin made for some delightfully messy backstory that was only ever vaguely alluded to in-game.
And tomorrow during the wrap-up you’ll see the one bit of lore Luis and I lamented never getting to spill during the campaign!
