Never stop bothering me, please. I love it. XD I love talking about my babies. I am a proud, proud mama.

So first, Henne’thel and Daern’thal! They are a sweet couple, and had a wonderful, sweet courtship. The two just genuinely love each other, and have a very healthy relationship. Henne’thel actually started the courtship. She is known for her songs and stories, and ended up sharing some with Daern’thal and that was really where it all began. 

For their wedding, Daern’thal gifted Henne’thel with a cloak he wove from the Dreaming, which shielded her from magical danger. In turn Henne’thel crafted a song and placed it into a wind chime, and where it rang in the Dreaming, no evil could befall those who heard it.

The Dalish who worship the Forgotten Ones remember the stories of Dream and Song, about the two gods whose love was so strong it bound them for all eternity. Many of those Dalish will sing a song for their loved ones instead of marriage vows, to honor Henne’thel and bless the union.

And now on to Oranani and Felralan! Yes, the two are twin-souls. They were spirits of Vigilance (Oranani) and Neglect/Negligence (Felralan). Their relationship is pretty supportive, yes. Oranani’s nature as a former spirit of vigilance does make her rather overbearing at times. She is always watching everything, after all and she tends to hover. She is a looming figure in general because she is...extremely large. @feynites and I had talked once about giant elves, and the idea struck me and so Oranani is one. 

They are a rarity in that they ruled together and when worshiped by the Dalish, are often prayed to jointly. Felralan has a tendency to...not do well in regards to ruling and looking after others or himself, which is why Oranani has taken him under her wing and helps steer him in proper directions. This does make it so that her will is the one we see most often, of course. Felralan often just goes with what she wants and gives her his power to do so when she asks. 

Yes, there are three that use she/her pronounces: Henne’thel, Aenwyn, and Oranani. And then he/him is Sariandi and Felralan, and my versions of Anaris, Daern’thal, and Geldaraun. And then Melarue obviously is they/them. 

Hi anon! Not going to lie, the Forgotten Ones hold a special place in my heart. I have so many headcanons and meta about them that I hope I can one day write into Pride’s Folly and other stories, which is why I’ve developed them quite a bit. I’m so glad you like them all so far.

I was thinking about doing some codex entry style pieces for each of them, so stay tuned for those! Let’s see, the known canon Forgotten Ones we have are: Anaris, Geldaraun, and Daern’thal, who I am certain I have very different personalities and meta for than will be canon eventually. The others I’ve talked about on this blog before are of course Sariandi, Henne’thel, and Aenwyn, and then of course there’s Melarue who has become a bit of a staple, though they were not initially in my pantheon. 

But the answer to your question is that yes, I do have two other Forgotten Ones, though they have not appeared yet in anything because I haven’t fully fleshed them out: Oranani and Felralan. Hopefully I can get more out on those two soon. They are also twin-souls, similar to Falon’Din and Dirthamen.  

Sariandi usually has several lovers at one time. He is not someone for commitment. That being said, he expects commitment and loyalty from his lovers to him. I wouldn’t say he’s a good choice for a romantic interest in any form. Sariandi is a very possessive and covetous person. He doesn’t enjoy hurting people physically, but he is very very manipulative. His lovers tend to run in a similar vein to him, in that aspect. In terms of a preference he finds people that interest him. What that entails varies, but he doesn’t like boring people. That being said, if he gets bored with one of his lovers he doesn’t kill them or hurt them, he just stops inviting them to his chambers. His violent streak comes when one of his lovers shows affection or interest in someone else. Still he rarely outright murders them. Regardless, he is a horrible person and is still an abusive asshat. Like, not even a problematic fave. He is just problematic.
