#jongleurs

Today I will posting/reblogging (tbh mostly reblogging) anything related to Bards, Minstrels, Jongleurs, Troubadours, etc.

((So in my Shadowbringers headcanon--and a scene I desperately need to rewrite--Thancred kills Ran’jit in Amh Araeng because that makes the most narrative sense. Which changes only one thing in the story when the seven devilsWarriors of Darkness assault Eulmore...))

The sounds of the fighting below faded as she crossed into the opulent plaza, strangely empty of the usual idlers. Aeryn could even faintly hear the turn of the aetheryte in the center as she crossed the marble floors toward the lift that would lead her to Vauthry’s chamber. Stepping from the corridor to block the way were the women in red and blue motley.

“Apologies, friend,” the Red Jongleur said with a nasty grin. “But you’ve reached a dead end. And on this sorry track, there’s no turning back.”

“Unless you want your own place under Vauthry’s rule,” the Blue Jongleur said. “Otherwise we shall have to duel.”

Aeryn narrowed her eyes at them. The memory of an old song played across her mind. “I don’t want your money, nor your crown. See I’ve come to burn your kingdom down,” she retorted as she drew her rapier.

Red laughed. “You and your friends have been quite the trouble, there’s no doubt,” she snarled. “With the General dead, it’s up to us to take the trash out.”

“We’ve a good life here, see, and we’re not about to lose it,” Blue continued through her own giggles. “But fair’s fair--we’ll give you a good death.” She seemed done with rhymes.

A good life choosing who came to live and die in this hell. A life spent passing out the means of control over the unwitting populace. Aeryn thought of those she had seen turned since coming to the First. How she had thought it couldn’t be any worse than that.

Keeping the peasants outside of eulmore hungry AND thirsty!

No one knows how to handle Sin Eater meat quite like the jongleurs of course.

This is a commission for Solufien on Twitter. It is also my first time drawing Sin Eaters, which I have been kinda wanting to do, so I'm happy being given the opportunity ❤
