I am a big fan of Heirs of the Night, but one thing has always bugged me. Why do they call them Lars af Dracas, Inger af Dracas, Fanny af Dracas etc?

I am Norwegian, Norwegian is my mother tongue, I have grown up with Norwegian all my life and I still live in Norway. That is not a thing in Norwegian, I have never heard anyone say af to anything, it is av with a v.

Is this old an old fashioned version of the language, from when the country was under Danish rule? Does anyone know why this is, or have any ideas?

Edit: After consoling a few textbooks, and a Danish friend of mine to check the accuracy, I found out that this is in fact the case. Af is Danish and, as Norway was under Danish rule during the time period of Heirs of the Night, this note of real history is a really cool addition to an already wonderful series.

I've started watching Heirs of the Night and for those interested, so far it's a really enjoyable - late 19th century setting - vampire young adult TV series, involving building friendships, some teen romances (one of which is between two queer girls), and moments with the kids protecting each other.

To lay down the basics. It's about the heirs of multiple vampire clans being brought together aboard The Elisabetha to teach each other their clan powers because they are under threat of extinction and to survive they will have to come together.

And that's because in the past those clans did too good a job at slaughtering each other. So now that both the human vampire hunters are becoming too big a threat and an old enemy has woken up, they're pretty much in a bit of a 'no better alternative' scenario.

The clans in question are the Vamalia from Germany, the Dracas from Norway, the Nosferas from Italy, the Pyras from France and the Vyrad from England. This is not a complete list of all clans, but most other ones are extinct and so either largely irrelevant or a spoiler.

It’s got a decently interesting mythos and though there are some things that are clearly a result of the story being aimed towards the teen audience, it’s also not nearly as cringy as one might have feared.

From a production perspective, what you might like to know is that this is a Dutch/Norwegian/German collaboration-production and though the show is mainly in English, the characters when speaking between themselves also often speak in their native languages (with subtitles).

Now if you’re looking for some kind of cinematography masterpiece with flawless CGI and Game of Thrones levels of adult gore and violence this is not that show. But it’s also not a cheap low level production, they spent quite a bit of money on this thing and it does show (it was filmed in multiple European countries and the costumes and sets are actually pretty beautiful).

And with 2 seasons of 13 episodes each out, I think it’s worth at least checking out to see if it’s something that might interest you.

Heirs of The Night/Nattens Arvinger - everybody mad

[y---otaku]

I just got into Heirs of the Night and there should be a season 3 because I'm gay af and I need more Ivy and Inger content AAAAAA. The first time I watched it, I even got the censored copies and was confused af bc fanvids have two kisses and the one I watched only had one and it was cut. Anyway, how will their relationship progress and how will the Dracas react to their relationship given that Dracas are known to be arrogant and classist and Ivy is still technically a Shadow but also she's very important now because she's the new Noaidi??? I need more in depth exploration of her role as the Noaidi because apparently she's the first vampire to get that role??? (Also, are the Noaidis only from the Dracas clan or does Mother Nature just pick randomly??? If Noaidis have just been with the Dracas in the past, does that mean Ivy will be made to stay in their clan's home?? ?) Will Fanny be civil to Ivy now that she's Inger's girlfriend??? Now that Inger is with Ivy, will she help fight for the rights of Shadows???

I have so many questions and thirsty for content but the fact that it's still in renewal limbo is making me anxious AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

reblog/like if you're an heirs of the night fan because this fandom is too small and I need some blogs to follow

Okei, let's go do a post about heirs of the night because this fandom is precious but tiny, so we could use some conversation.

I love it so much, that the clans speak in their mothertongue sometimes, it gives so much more life to their identity, also DEEPLY appreciated, that the actors casted for the role actually have their characters heritage, examples;

•Hindrik - german actor (Florian Bartholomäi)

•Conte Claudio de Nosferas (and I think,actually all of the Nosferas Clan?) - italian (Francesco de Vito) , THICC italian accent [*chef's kiss]

•The Dracas and the Noaidi -beautifully norwegian

•both Ivy and Seymour of Lycana - Irish actors [or so I suppose because of their names] (Aisling Sharkey and Finnian Duff Lennon)

It makes sense that Alisa's actress Anastasia is british, because she is the main. HOWEVER, it was done so well (I will make another post to elaborate, how it makes sense that a german vampire girl speaks mostly english)
