Beautiful beautiful beautiful

The dragons are varying sizes, with Alduin as the largest—much bigger than he appears in game. Paarthurnax is the second largest. Durnehviir is the next largest named dragon (in game), but when he comes back to Nirn, he is considerably lighter due to his rotted form. Odahviing is on the smaller side of the more powerful dragons, bit is much more sleek and agile than his brethren.

Similar to how Nahkriin is a Dragon Priest to Alduin and presides over Skuldafn, Morokei presides over Labryrinthian/Bromjunaar (this is canon). We don’t know what Dragon he directly served under, but I like to believe it’s Durnehviir. Firstly, Morokei’s epithet ‘the Deathless’ is close to Durnehviir’s name, but even if Durnehviir used to have a different name (extremely likely, given how perfectly his name describes his current situation), we know they both possessed some sort of obsession with immortality, or preventing their own demise, at least. Additionally, I personally associate Morokei as the most magically adept Dragon Priest (besides Ahzidal and Miraak) because of his possession of the Staff of Magnus, and the fact that he could only be killed by a Dragon. Similarly, Durnehviir’s dabbling with necromancy places him a bit more in the ‘mage’ category than the other Dragons. Additionally, I like the idea of Krosis being Paarthurnax’s Dragon Priest (not my idea), and perhaps Rahgot as Odahviing’s (based on vibes).

better photo of a commission i did for @liches-covered-in-lich of his Morokei design, a while back. the complexity of this piece and the lighting situation i was dealing with at the time made taking proper photos impossible, but nowadays i can get color-accurate, clear images.

I have my suspicions about how this is going to go... but we'll see.

A three-way match to finish off the second round! Morokei barely survived round one, making him the underdog here. Ahzidal, meanwhile, swept his match with almost 90% of the vote. Konahrik remains a wildcard.
