Cuz like LGBT leanings are much more widely accepted in people of a lower social status and while being gay isn't outright bad it's kinda like... ???? I can't think of the word but higer class people often don't end up in LGBT relationships mostly bc of the importance of heirs BUT polyamory is much more common??? And it's not unheard of for a noble to have a few wives and a husband or vice versa AND THEN FOR LIKE ROYALTY ITS.... largely a focus on monogamy and heterosexuality bc again heirs are important and the person(s) you marry will get a say in the govt so haveingbseveral spouces can get messy and

Jalea: not to particular abt lgb related issues, the royal family though is expected to marry the opposite sex to produce hiers. There isn't any blatant homophobia within the lower classes but it becomes more common in the upper class families though it's largely benign. In terms of gender there isn't much of a focus as they deem ones worth on their abilities in general rather than gender. Radal: very open to LGBT ideals. (They do though suffer from some sexisim against more classically Masculine individuals). They are a culture that holds beauty to a high standard. Homosexuality between women is much more accepted than it is between men, who already have less rights than females. Femininine presenting individuals (either trans or gender fluid/non conforming) do have an easier time in their culture Masfair: fairly homophobic and sexist as a culture. LGBT individuals are on occasion targets of harassment though actual danger to their lives is uncommon. They are a working culture that values strength and so much more of their culture leans towards the masculine. Monogamy is the most common but poly couples aren't unheard of.

I have the hardest time coming up with a reason for Valdun to actually be evil other than the fact that i need an atagonist :I

Tbh I feel really bad for both Devas and Alvar they are both only 20/22 and they are expected to be these great leaders and have this powder keg of a country slowly being dropped on their shoulders. It's no wonder Alvar shirks his duties and drinks and Devas is irritable and smokes too much. I mean damn I would too

I've been thinking about why Devas carries around that boar mask of his,  And I've come to the conclusion they are actually a fairly common thing to see in Sandalos. The hot dry air makes dust storms from the desert a common thing and the masks are used to protect the eyes, nose, and mouth when they hit.  You see them more  in the northern parts of Sandalos in the plains and esp in desert but not so much in the south due to the humidity and dense trees.

I have all these cool pictures of Devas being all badass in snowy mountains but tbh if they were canon he woul just be pissed off complaining bc he was cold
