ok more TGE future legacy stuff: so, like, definitely no one really knows how edrehasivar chose his empress. but they do know it happened very quickly, and that they were very close after their marriage. sooooo queue lots of very inaccurate historical dramas where they have some kind of love at first sight whirlwind romance. duchenin (or sometimes an aged-up paru tethimin, because everybody know The Tethimada Are Evil) as scheming second love interest. everyone around maia telling him csethiro is Not Suitable due to her scholarly inclinations (played up to be way more of a problem than it ever actually was). they probably have sex in a closet at one point with the nohecharei acting pointedly oblivious outside. "ah, young love" says beshelar, the writers having completely forgotten he was the same age as csethiro
