"By the Shardbearers, is that how I stand?" - allknowingofnir

♕ - Rya takes a very careful look at him - how he stood. Then, she looks down at herself. Her two feet planted solid on the ground, little separated from one another, but not too much. Even her hands rest neatly by her sides. Just like lady Tanith had always taught her - fine ladies of the manor should be sharp of their appearance. Considering that, should they really compare, then?

" I believe so... yes." || @allknowingofnir

"Word through the vine there's something about bruised grapes?" - allknowingofnir

Alberich slams his braille book down on the table and grabs his scythe, immediately running toward gideons office.

"LISTEN HERE YOU SON OF A--"

"AT LEAST MINE AREN'T COVERED IN DUST YOU DECREPIT--"

"COME AND SAY THAT TO MY FACE--"

Aaaaand he's gone. Gideons gonna have his week made seeing a pissed off, flailing wizard pinned under Ensha's knee. Don't laugh too hard, please. His dignity is the second most damaged part of him

[elorne-the-grafted]

Elorne padded inside, fiddling with a belt that he tied around his chest to hold her in place. A pair of hands was already holding the ends of the sack in place to carry her into the table.

"From the tag on her leg, then yes." With the belt undone, he uses both pairs of hands to lay her down on the cleared table. "Your daughter told me she was your lover." He truthfully couldn't say much. He and Gideon were strangers to each other technically, and he really only knows of this relation based on the say of others. He had some more shocking news to offer Gideon after working for a shockingly short time with Selivus.

A man who he had once or twice seen around the Roundtable Hold has appeared once again, this time with what looks like precious cargo. Using a burlap cloth as a sling, he carries someone on his back, their body and resting on the grafted man's back.

He carries them into his study room. He is straight to the point.

"Is this Dolores? Do you know her?" He sounded slightly winded, as if he sped his way towards here to ask this.

@elorne-the-grafted

The events unfold quickly enough, someone barging into his study with what appears to be a corpse fastened to his back. Someone who's indulged in grafting at that.

It's like ice water down his spine when the words reach his ears.

"Dolores-wait, Dolores, the Sleeping Arrow. You have her?" There's an audible clatter of books as he shoves the stacks of tomes off the table before waving the man in.

"By the Erdtree-get in here man, mind the door!"

[velvet-apricots]

Ensha for the ask meme since I don't see anybody talk about that guy

OHHHH YAYA

favorite thing about them

I love how he is just... there. All the time. Just outside the door, leaning and watching. Why is he there? *shrugs* He just is. Kinda creepy. I also love how loyal he is, to a fault.

least favorite thing about them

He is very underutilized. Like, if you go the whole game with out ever getting a medallion piece, he just vanishes at the end of the game. Doesn't even leave his armor. *poof* gone.

favorite line

Bro says nothing. He says less than Horace from DS3. Horace groans a bit but Ensha just looks at you and gives you a gesture and thats it.

brOTP

Ensha and Gideon, and Ensha and my lil Kindred of Rot baby, Geralt. That is his uncle bones right there!

OTP

Don't have one. Ive considered Ensha/Gideon which shockingly has NOTHING about them (i thought y'all liked old man yaoi????) Also toyed with Gideon/Fyra/Ensha, but nothing has ever come of it. Id imagine if someone i knew started shipping an OC with him, I'd be into it.

nOTP

No one ships him with anyone. But let me filter through a list of npcs.... *pulls out a name card* Milicent? yeah okay. hate that ship.

random headcanon

Imma just toss a few in here, first i just flat out consider canon, second is an interesting 'what if?' thing, last one is from something an rp partner came up with (i miss you allknowingofnir =( )

Ensha is mute and speaks with sign language

Ensha is actually Gideon's maiden and is ftm. (he sometimes has breasts if you remove his armor)

Ensha is a former child soldier for a king named Ensha, who was an enemy of the Golden Order. Gideon saved him from death when the King and his forces were wiped out. He thus donned the king's bones and took the name Ensha

unpopular opinion

I don't really like the headcanon that he's a Puppet. I just think he's a loyal and weird dude who follows Gideon around.

song i associate with them

Uh.... Hmmm....

favorite picture of them

*shuffle shuffle*

[crybaby-tarnished]

what is your place in the royal court?

the knight.

a defender, strong as stone, you make it a mission to defend. never would you turn your back on those in need; valorous, a paragon, a sword raised in battle with a cry on your lips... but, be warned, noble knight, that you do not fall to the sword, yourself. are these ideals worth dying for?

❄️ | @allknowingofnir

It’s almost funny how many no-name knights and Tarnished have walked by Gideon’s office without noticing — noticing the fact that the man standing outside the open door is, strangely enough, not Ensha. What’s funnier, though, is that even Gideon himself hasn’t seemed to notice yet — to notice the faint red glow coming from the hall, or the telltale brim of a red glintstone-decorated hat half-blocking the threshold.

In Alberich’s defense, he’s got Ensha’s signature pose down pat: the cocked hip, the folded arms, the thoughtful touch to the chin, the deathly silence. But everything else, and that awful, damned smile…

Well, if nothing else, Gideon is sure to notice something is off when Alberich lets out a rather loud sneeze, a puff of frost escaping his lungs like a dragon’s breath, not quite caught by the hand that flies to cover his mouth.

“Ahem. Sorry.”

And he’s back to posing dramatically.

A would-be king that sees only gold

(For the elden ring dlc countdown on twitter)

[coldblood-gardens]

A bottle of a fine vintage wine is left by Alberich's door with a note:

Something to help numb the pain and any ill will between us for that last barb; cheers. - Gideon

-allknowingofnir

"...........i hate to admit it but he has good taste in alcohol. Well, cheers Giddy"

A cork is popped, a couple glasses poured and snuck onto Gideons desk when he turns his back, Gideon only seeing the tail end of Alberich's cape as the heretic leaves through the front door. He'll take the other half of the bottle for himself.

[deathblightprince]

A loud yelp followed by a thud delivers a very confused and dusty Ensha into the shallow pools of the Deeproot Depths, at the foot of a returned lost city. - allknowingofnir

He found himself not only soaked by the shallow pools of water, but surrounded by Those Who Live in Death. However, they were acting strangely. One would believe they would attack a living being on sight, but these TWLID were oddly docile. They formed a circle around him to look down at him, simply observing him while making the occasional moans and grunts. He would find them slowly dispersing as soon as he stood up, beginning to turn and lead him towards the castle newly built, lost city/capital style castle. He could hear the sounds of mournful whimpers and groans as he approached the castle. None of them would stop him as he entered through the grand doorway. Hmmm, who did this place belong too?

[songofsilentechoes]

There is a soft knock on the door. A familiar three paced rapping. - allknowingofnir

There's a silence before the door opens. The short, sightless woman stands there, holding her staff.

"Hello? Is that you, Sir Ensha?"

[maldrontheassassin]

@allknowingofnir​ has -- oh no: Ensha arrives, completely fine and not related to current events in an alternate timeline, to see what the Night's Calvary is up to.

─╠═►Black and white fabric rest upon the dark armor of the Night’s Cavalry. His war steed snorts at Ensha’s presence, towering above them. Turning to glance at the horse out of the corner of his eye, the nostalgic warrior nearly jumps out of his skin! Armed with nothing save for the faith of the Crucible, did he ready himself for a battle out of his element.

Moments later, he recognized the silent companion of his Tarnished liaison. Still wary -- this was the Erdtree Capitol, after all -- he ensured that the grand dining table stood between them both.

“--Ensha, yes? Is Gideon alright? ...How’d you get here? Why? are you here?”

[thefirsteldenlord]

"Lord Godfrey, is it truly you?" - allknowingofnir

@allknowingofnir

Godfrey stood on the balcony of the Erdtree sanctuary, looking upon the throne room that sits below the ever-tall and proud Erdtree. His back was facing Gideon, seemingly unaware of his presence until he made himself known.

Serosh was the first to notice Gideon as he glanced at the man and let out a gruff. Godfrey followed Serosh and turned his attention towards Gideon, stoic but polite. "Aye, tis I." Godfrey gave him a nod.

PROMPTS FOR WORKAHOLIC CHARACTERS WHO PUSH THEMSELVES TOO HARD *  assorted dialogue, adjust as necessary

there's still a lot of work to be done.

i can't give up just yet.

there's nothing noble about working yourself to death.

you think i can't handle this myself?

there's not enough hours in the day.

i realize you think you have to do this.

working like this helps me think.

i'll sleep when i'm dead.

your work ethic scares me sometimes.

i don't need your help.

do you ever sleep?

they need me.

no matter how hard you work, it won't bring them back.

do you realize how crazy that sounds?

i'm not stopping until this is done.

you need to slow down.

i feel like i'm wasting my life.

have you ever taken a vacation?

i can handle this on my own.

i'm nothing without my work.

you're going to get sick if you keep going like this.

you've proven your point.

you're going to work yourself to death.

there are worse ways to spend a life.

you can't keep going at this pace.

i don't have time to rest.

it needs to be done.

there's no time to waste.

i think it's time for you to take a break.

everything was going great until you stopped me.

i can't sleep yet. not until this is done.

i'm the only one who can do this.

at least let me help you.

if i just focus on my work, i don't have to think about anything else.

i'm not asking you to take a break, i'm telling you.

did you really have to interrupt like that?

i'm not budging.

it's my life's work.

you're not going to convince me otherwise.

when was the last time you slept?

i'll help you finish the job if you promise to get some rest.

you're practically falling asleep standing up.

you can finish this in the morning.

let me get you to bed.

don't you get it? it's over!

working yourself to death isn't going to fix anything.

if i don't do it, no one else will.

i wish you would take some time to rest.

i'm not taking a break, if that's what you're asking.

you just broke my concentration, thank you very much.

i'm not going to bed.

i don't know how to quit.

i can't disappoint them.

you need a vacation.

i wish you would just listen to me and slow down.

your eye bags have eye bags.

all right, that's it. i'm putting my foot down.

no more excuses.

what do you get out of this? this overworking thing?

without my work... i'm nothing.

no one else is going to step in.

i don't care about me. i care about them.

we have unfinished business.

if i stop now, it'll be like giving up.

i'm a perfectionist. it's in my nature.

better to pour myself into my work than something else.

i wish you would go easy on yourself.

this is very unhealthy.

"If you've something to say, say it to my damned face instead of gossiping about the Hold." - allknowingofnir

i said you get no bitches and your peepee's small and shriveled. call it crumbling farum azula because it is falling apart. call it caelid because it is full of rot. call it the mountaintop of the giants because nobody goes there anymore. i have seven great runes so i can put a ring on each of my seven girlfriends and you're desperately trying to make eye contact with enia but she can't see bitch. she has no eyes.

[crybaby-tarnished]

Geralt of Caelid sat in his crib, watching the door where his surrogate mother had been taken through. He was still hungry, and she had not fed him yet. He chirped loudly, little arms and hands on his head gripping the edge of his crib along with his main ones.

No response. So he made a loud chittering cry, antena twitching. Still nothing. Usually Fyra came running after him making that loud of a noise.

He pulled himself up over the edge of the side of his crib, landing on the floor with a thud. He crawled up to where Fyra had last been, the ground scorched with odd patterns on the wood. He ran his hands over it, before he again cried out for food.

Still nothing. And so he did the only thing he could think of. He started crying as loud as he could.

A tapestry depicting the symbol of Gideon Ofnir. - allknowingofnir

The Fell Omen narrowed his eye. He recognized the symbol of the eye. Sigil of the all-knowing Gideon Ofnir. One of many Tarnished who would seek the Elden Ring. One of many who were emboldened by that wretched flame of ambition.

With a brief sneer, the Fell Omen tore the tapestry in two, and allowed it's remnants to drift off in the wind.
