After Rosette and Rathalos have kids, Redyn and Ciralinde have at least another child. I am even considering triplets! The purpose of this extends on the theme of healing in Fate's Token. Before, she and Redyn tried for over 200 years to have more children, but never could. Their hearts were still heavy from the eruption of Red Mountain, plus the death of Rosette's fiancee, Dreylas. They were starting to think Ciralinde could not have children anymore.

But after Fate's Token, having the family whole again and seeing Rosette so happy 'healed' Ciralinde, and she became pregnant. Redyn has always wanted a huge pile of kids anyway.

The only problem is I feel up to my ears in OCs!

I've wondered about this for elves. Maybe elves have better memory?

A side note: a headcanon I've seen elsewhere and adopted myself is that elves age about the same as humans from ages 0 to about 25-35, and then their aging slows dramatically. This is nature's way of ensuring they reach reproductive age quickly, especially since elves are also not as fertile as humans. I like to think elves have a special name for this and it's seen as a 'coming of age' of sorts.

i feel like a big failing when it comes to establishing long-lived beings (races, species, what-have-you) is a lack of world building and really fleshing out the lore in terms of cultures, aging, societal and personal eras, etc. etc.

if entities are long-lived they will have centuries if not more to expand, innovate, and evolve both personally and as societies...so if there isn't a rich, bountiful, diverse, and varied history and culture accompanying them, it just feels so...flat and unconvincing

🍓How did you get into writing fanfiction?

Prepare yourself for a long answer, hehe.

The very first fanfiction I wrote was for the anime, Bleach, when I was maybe 13-14. It was probably really, really bad.

Skyrim was my first game. I think I started playing in 2012. By that time I had also already been writing a few original stories, so it seemed natural to write about my Skyrim characters and give them backstories. My very first character was a Breton named Shaylee, but due to not knowing how to properly save a game, she was deleted. I wrote into the story that she had died. Then I made her daughter, Aki, who was originally going to be the Dragonborn. But then I made Rosette, and decided to make her the Dragonborn instead.

I started playing Oblivion a few years later. I made another Breton, an evil Dark Brotherhood woman named Seranae. She's not a nice character and I don't really like her anymore.

Then, I got Morrowind for my 16th birthday. I decided to try making a male character. I made a Dunmer and came up with the idea to make him Rosette's father. I still remember the moment the name 'Redyn' popped into my head, so that's what I named him. I later picked the surname 'Othrelas' from uesp.

Was going to recreate the first character I made for Skyrim which was for the Xbox but I forgot to disable a mod or two…oops

Here are glimpses of my character's journals. You can tell a lot about someone by how they organize their thoughts. Which one are you most like?

Julan is not my character and belongs to @fallingawkwardly . I have kind of adopted him into my menagerie of goofballs, though.

Tumblr killed the quality, so please click the photo for full detail.

got to wonder sometimes what was going on with the person naming these places

was just thinking about this passage the other day...loved the glimpses that we got in idle of martin's upbringing and adoptive family. would love the director's cut

link to ask game

So.. when Jauffre was asked to hide the kid somewhere, his first thought was of his cousin. Odei was known for being a particularly private man, and his wife Gwyn had recently lost a baby (a "surprise"-- they were in their 40s and never expected to conceive.) The birth was hard on Gwyn and she did not live much longer, so from the time Martin was about 2 years old, it was just him and Odei in a little farmhouse outside Anvil, keeping watch over a small flock of sheep.

Wool sheep are pretty unusual in Anvil's hot climate, but since wool doesn't sap body heat when wet, demand for the fabric is high in Anvil among the sailors, and market prices were favorable. They were peasants but it wasn't a life of grinding poverty. Odei also occasionally worked as a livestock curer and crop charmer.

Here they are bringing a neighbor's recovered lamb home ^

That was Martin's first exposure to magic and it fascinated him. When he went to join the Anvil mages guild at 16, he was dismayed to find out that most people considered Odei's work to be backwards, rural superstition.

The gag is that Odei was in fact guild-educated. He just figured out he liked plants and sheep better than people and left the guild to farm. He was literate, and taught Martin to read with cookbooks and almanacs.

Jauffre did not initially tell Odei who the child really was, but Odei pieced it together not too long after they took in the child. It was kind of obvious why his Blade relative kept showing up to "check in." He never directly confronted his cousin about it and never told anyone his suspicions, but it ate at him and frightened him a little, and he was already a quiet man to begin with, so he grew more and more reserved as Martin got older.

So Martin was loved and taken care of but it was often a house of heavy silence.
