Concept art wip, very bare bones but itās ok š this post is also a lore post for my au! Itās all jumbled up bc I was talking to a friend about it so itās literally just copy and pasted
Edit: I didnāt realize how unreadable it was omg sorry, I edited it to make more sense
- Trellis is 23 yrs old just two years older then Emily
- He is kinda timid with being a king since he doesnāt want to be like his father but he has his brother as his right hand man and ofc Emily ⨠heās alittle annoyed that thereās so much paperwork that involves being a king lol
- As he grew up he had more of his fathers facial structure much to his dismay making him become even more scared of being like his father
- But so far heās doing well and even having an amazing king voice ( think commanding and not taking any questions abt his choices )
- Riva and Emily become good friends later on and basically trauma bond
- Luger is happy to assist with his brother with anything but is mostly seen in the library either writing or reading books
- Navin and Karen live in a newly rebuilt palace with Emily and trellis and are trying to fit in now that this is basically their forever home
- Some elves arenāt happy with Trellisās ruling but they are often shut down by other residents/elves as this was the first time they had peace in years
- Loyalists / nobles, were the ones who profited off of the old Kings rule, Ikol had given them a lot of leniency for taxes and for whatever illegal activity they were up to
- As long as they didnāt look too closely at his illusion of the elf king being alive he was content
- as long as they bicker and mutter to themselves Trellis doesnāt care about the slander they throw his way
- But he is keeping an eye on them courtesy of Leon
- Leon acts as a chief of security / intelligence
- Often Emily will confide to him whatever she has on her mind or to vent since she sees him as a father figure / mentor
- Virgo is kinda in the shadows not exactly a hermit but quite close, he doesnāt like company aside from Navin, Emily, Miskit, Cosgly and Trellis
- He will sometimes help people who have their own stones to control them and keep their sanity
- But he just prefers his own solitude
- Every stone keeper in this au has their amulets symbol on their back, depending if their amulet has an elemental power it will be engraved onto their back ( example: Emily has burn scars )
- Emily and Trellis each have each others amulet symbols on their hands ( Emilyās left and Trellisās right )
