Do you know what design I reallyyy don't like from the kotlc official art?
Don't get me wrong I love most of it but the ogres look so wrong 😭😭😭 Why are they so top heavy? Why are the clothes so revealing?
I mean I don't want to see all that 😭 Specifically the men. The face and skin is pretty good but the bodies are sooo hard to imagine in a battle or talking with elves. Also how do they put their clothes on if they're metal? Wait are they metal? I can't remember.
Not to be rude but yeah.

Timeline of the Lost Cities — Part Six
Notes/Reminders:
This is mostly elf-centric
Please tell me if you have different ideas about the timeline!
Link to masterpost and other parts
TOTLC — PART SIX — The Ancient Council and the Treaties
Around 8500 BCE, the Ancient Council is created as an institution, to represent elves on an interspecies stage and to make decisions that are reckoned fairer. The first Councillors are descendants of the three great families, and ruling remains restricted to them. However, those counted in the nobility are allowed to make suggestions to advise and aid their ruling. Talentless elves are not given this privilege.
Fallon is among the first Councillors. He establishes birth funds for all elves, talented or talentless, and attempts to remove the anti-Talentless bias in the community. This does not work too well.
Eternalia is built and established as the elven capital in 8400 BCE.
Noxflares are developed in 8350 BCE.
In 8300 BCE, the concept of worshipping three Prime Sources rather than only the stars, begins to grow. It becomes very popular.
The minds of elves begin to weaken again as their more luxurious lifestyles and life away from the threat of Elysian makes the protections less necessary. To protect the minds of elves, it is ruled in 8250 BCE that all elves with knowledge of Elysian, save for the Councillors, who all know little of the matter, and some people with special exemptions (such as Lady Iskra) are to have their minds wiped of it. This includes mostly older elf populations — those who are young at that time have little knowledge or memory of this, and many people alive at that time have never encountered anything of Elysian. The island is removed from elven maps. All information is stored in the first ever cache, a ‘great cache’ which is only to be opened if a time of the greatest emergency arrives. When this is felt, the Councillor asks a question: ‘What is ___?’ If the question is ‘What is Elysian?’, the cache will open. This seems an oddly simple design, but the cache’s location is only known to senior Councillors (in the present day, these are Bronte, Terik and Noland), and there are only three questions the cache can be asked (making the questions truly vital ones, and less likely to be used frivolously). Otherwise, it self-destructs. It is made by Lady Iskra.
The numbers of Talentless elves increases, and it becomes evident that the elves who lost their abilities are passing the loss on to their children. This raises many, many concerns, and encourages talk of ‘removing the taint’ from the larger elven community. In 8200 BCE, the Council unwillingly acquiesces to public demand, and the Matchmaking Office in its earliest form is established. Talented-to-Talentless marriages are prohibited.
The Pyren Councillor resigns. From his family, Fintan Pyren is elected Councillor in 8150 BCE.
In 8100 BCE, gnome-ogre tensions are starting to increase. News of the capture of Serenvale and the building of Ravagog reaches the elves, and the world is thrown into turmoil. Refugee gnomes from Serenvale begin pouring into the elven cities, making the elves a political group involved in the war. This draws the ire of the dwarves upon them, and war preparations increase.
The weakening minds of elves are seen as a concern in terms of fighting, and murmured whispers of Elysian, a secret thought to be quite stamped out, begin to rise. Luzia Vacker and Vespera Folend are told to weave more illusions around Elysian, which they finish doing by 8092 BCE, though they have no knowledge of what Elysian actually is (theories are rife). The Unmapped Stars are erased from publicly available maps. Spyballs and Imparters are invented, while registry pendants are issued to all elves rather than taking census, to make data easier to gather. Oblivimyre is built.
Because of the war, protecting children becomes a priority. The concept of schools, where children can be easily gathered, taught and protected, takes hold, and many small ones are made in all elven neighbourhoods.
The Council introduces the Emissary position in 8087 BCE to be given to elves that the ruling Councillors have chosen to advise them. Bronte, Luzia and Vespera are all among them. With their input, the Council decides to stop mobilising a very unprepared population for war, but decides to call for a treaty.
King Gowg of the ogres meets with the Elven Council and the gnomish leaders in 8080 BCE in a ruined Serenvale. At the feast during which they discuss the treaty (which Gowg rejects), he poisons the gnomish leaders with the drakostomes, and in three weeks, in the Lost Cities, they spread the then-incurable plague to the other gnomes. Gowg uses the sickness to force the elves and gnomes to comply with what he asks. However, the elves manage to let the gnomes continue living in the Lost Cities. The first treaty is signed.
The original third Councillor resigns in 8075 BCE, and the Council opens positions to all noble elves rather than only the original ruling families, allowing recommendations, but making their ultimate choice themselves. Bronte is chosen to serve on the Council, and he is on this Council with Fintan and Fallon. The Emissary positions are kept, and Regent positions are also introduced. Military training for elves continues.
The ogres begin to attack the goblins in 7950 BCE. This war is mostly ignored by the other Intelligent Species, but after a very toll-taking battle, both species involved seek help. The ogres gain help from the trolls, while the goblins sign a treaty with the elves in 7832 BCE, pledging their help to elves for ever on the condition that the elves help them in turn.
The elves join the war in 7830 BCE, while the dwarves sign a treaty with the elves to help them if need be provided that the ruling of the dwarves and their movements are kept independent from the elves. The fighting is severe, with many casualties on all sides, most notably elven casualties. In 7804 BCE, after a long war, treaty negotiations begin once again. A treaty is signed by the ogres and the goblins to not interfere with the other’s affairs and to not attack the other. The trolls make the same agreement, and the terms extend to all Intelligent Species, ensuring that there will be peace for some time
Humans make their first contact in 7000 BCE, and a treaty is signed to ensure that all human rulers will not instigate conflict with any members of the Intelligent Species, and in return, no other species will harm them. Thus all the treaties are formed, and the Intelligent Species progress.

totally emotionally support ogres being warriors and fierce and choosing their next king based on whose the strongest via fighting and killing everyone until the final victor wins the throne but I can’t help. but think this is a not smart approach. congrats on being the king you just killed all ur best warriors. yeah maybe they weren’t better than you but like if they made it that far into the competition then they’re your good warriors and now you killed them. you gotta start your army from scratch now. i just think. this system has some flaws
#kotlc#keeper of the lost cities#kotlc ogres#kotlc worldbuilding#new king: I shall start a new era and ogres will be stronger than ever!#the best ogre warriors of their age: *are dead*#emotionally I’m there. like you do you. indulge the thirst for blood. enjoy the violence. be viscious#totally support you#but logistically. i think there is an issue here#do you feel me#like with bo and ro. if they fight each other to win that’s just a waste. they’re both good warriors#killing one to prove whos stronger is like..dude..what a waste of a warrior

Issue Three: Elves
The immortality of elves has always bothered me. How do they keep the population at a sustainable level? Wouldn't time be meaningless? But, more importantly for KotLC: Why do they look like humans if none of the other species do? I mean ogres, gnomes, and some if the trolls, kind of. But dwarves sure as hell don't. Why do elves look exactly like humans? If you're saying plot convenience, that's probably the answer. Even so, I have a solution: You know how trolls go through stages? What if elves did that, too? The younger ones can look like humans, and the older ones can look different, and the Anchients can look even more different. Problem solved.

in this household we ignore canon as much as we want to and whenever we want to.
my headcanons on Ro's appearance:
Long ombre hair. Goes from purple at the roots to magenta to light pink.
She wears it down, but always has a scrunchie around her wrist(not pictured). Whenever she goes into battle, there's a cool scene where she pulls her hair back with her glittery scrunchie and then launches into the fray.
Insanely tall. Like, at least two feet taller than Keefe. A foot taller then Cassius. Taller than Grady. So tall. Ogres just be built that way.
Leather armor. Could not give less of an actual darn what any of the vegans that hire her thinks. It's a lot more comfortable for day to day wear than metal. And she can do whatever the heck she wants. No one's gonna argue with the sword.
She's not super ripped. Like, she's buff. She's muscled, but its a lean sort of muscled. She doesn't have or want body-builder muscles, because she knows that slows you tf down. She's just buff like someone who trains a ton but isn't focused on building muscle mass, and is instead focused on fighting, agility, and all that stuff.
Her nails are filed into claws. That is all.
Wears pants. Like a sane person.
Huge teeth. She could(and has before) rip somebody's throat out with them if she wanted to go feral.
Is covered in weapons. A million pockets in the pants, a million pockets in the shift underneath her armor, a thousand spots in the armor, it's imperative that she have a lot of places to store weapons. And she does.
Wears practical stuff. Also boots. Because contrary to popular belief ogres actually do have nerves in their feet. And it's never fun to step on an arrow in the middle of a battle.

curious to know why you dislike juline?
tbh i had no opinion at all of her and then about a year ago there was a poll on which member of the collective was the best. and the tiergan lovers website let tiergan down. in favor of her. /hj
in seriousness, dislike was a bit strong. im still mostly neutral on her. she does sort of feel like just another sparkly girlboss in the series which. admittedly is a trope in kotlc thats started to piss me off a bit bc it seems like every adult woman falls into it.
juline is like. the final evolution of that sparkly girlbossery. she has no real relationship damage for more than 2 minutes after revealing shes been lying to her family for years and was part of the organization that grady thought killed his daughter.
in general! it doesnt seem like she ever faces any consequences for lying to her family or pushing them to the side a bit in favor of the black swan.
idk maybe there were problems (specifically with dex) and we never saw them bc theyre not sophies problem but. whatever.
also what is her "official job." was she passing off as a stay at home mom? does she work in the nobility? idk
#juline is like the supreme version of the never do wrong girlboss to me#like yeah she faced consequences with her family!! for a total of 3 minutes!!#i dont expect this to be too fleshed out bc the plot is busy enough without including every trial and tribulation in julines life#but shannon its not too hard to make female characters that arent all the exact same#i can count on 1 hand how many women dont fall into shannons strong badass sparkly mother trope#i get the need to make women strong but that means nothing when every woman has the exact same personality#the only exceptions i can think of off the top of my head (galvin and alina) are put down by both the narrative and most of the fandom#cadence stands out to me also bc.#in general in the later books shes treated well despite her conflict with sophie.#and while shes still a strong character. she doesnt have the sparkly motherly bullshit everyone else has.#<- possibly a side effect of her time with the ogres#sorry this got rambly!! to summarize my problem isnt with juline exactly but with women as a whole in the series#kotlc

ok at this point what qualifies. I'm pretty sure there's a line where a dagger is not a dagger and is actually just a sword
#granted i dont know shit about weapons#but im under thr impression that tarina is a bit smaller than bo. his dagger is already HUGE but vaguely normal by ogre proportions#summer rambles#summer reads kotlc

prompt of the day: what kind of dynamic do you think characters that have never interacted in canon have offscreen/before canon
#kotlc#pls don’t say keefe. let’s talk about everyone else#i think ro and her dad have a very complicated relationship offscreen#ogre gender roles and the part where she got married off without her consent
