it’s so good lmao. i ended up binging it in under a week and then i went back and relistened to it all (bc it’s fun catching all the hints griffin dropped throughout the early arcs, there’s some stuff i totally forgot about until my second listen). 

like, it’s just plain funny in the beginning, but eventually it starts to get real in terms of character development and narrative progression and now i’m pretty hooked and emotionally invested. makes me miss playing d&d tbh 

I'll draw him properly, but for now, I have edited screenies. Here's his lore:

The plants have a running trend of dreams of healing, but they never seem to heal themselves.

I think I'm kinda grasping at straws to pull this off atm, so this could change, but to stop the seed from being Mordrumoth, back Teaghuee shares the burden, and the seed is halved. They return to the mindscape with Trahearne and share a moment to convince Trahearne that this way is better.

Teaghuee, being Aurene's champion, made dealing with the noise easier. It stopped it from changing him physically, and later, when they die, the seed dies with him. This also breaks the connection to Trahearne he had.

For Trahearne, he has an echo of Mordrumoth in his ear. Like Miren does, it just doesn't whisper, but it doesn't yell either. It just speaks. Randomly. Trying to blend in with his thoughts to reunite the seed and bring him back. Teaghuee cuts him free, revealing his legs to a serpent's tail, instead keeping on theme with the mouth of Mordrumoth.

This causes a distance between the pair. Both are mourning their third Miren, who was marked down after being last seen in a camp that wiped out any sylvari that was stationed there, but the fear of being close could bring it back. So Teaghuee goes out and starts working to regrow Caladbolg, and Trahearne returns to the Grove to heal as much as he can, which honestly isn't much.

Then, when Teaghuee dies, Trahearne feels it. The seed within his head reacts to the one in Teaghuees. Then it all goes quiet. The seed is gone. And so is his beloved commander. He's found peace in his mind at the cost of his beloved. Twisting how it was meant to be Teaghuee (and the other sylvari) find peace with his death.

Look at the three for them...
