@srgntā said: Ā the hierophant / justice / the tower / the world Ā ( major arcana Ā | accepting )
05. Ā the hierophant Ā : Ā what are your museās morals / ethics ? do they follow their moral code strictly ?
Ā Ā Ā astoriaās moral code, if it can really be considered aĀ ācodeā rather than a vague collection of convenient limitations, is extremely flexible. there are a few hard limits for her: she cannot tolerate the intentional harm of children; she cannot tolerate a rulerās neglect; she cannot tolerate the meaningless harm of the people she loves. pretty much anything else, she can deal with ā thereās plenty she wonāt endorse, but sheāll benefit from a lot without trying to shut it down if she can spin a way that itās for aĀ āgreater good.ā she doesnāt turn to something greater to define her moral code ā her belief in the maker and respect for the chantry can only take her so far, and she is a firm believer in creating society to fit her needs, rather than just working with what already exists.Ā
Ā Ā Ā part of this comes from astoriaās very genuine belief that sheās above it. itās not a knowing display of pride, though itās definitely due toĀ her pride: astoria knows that sheās in a position of power, and as such, she needs to be willing to bend and break her own rules whenever necessary, so long as she gives the appearance of notĀ doing so. as per machiavelliās the prince,Ā which doesnāt exist in this universe but is a huge influence for astoriaās characterization:Ā Ā
Since, then, a prince must know how to make use of the nature of the beast, he should choose from among the beasts the fox and the lion; for the lion cannot defend itself from traps, while the fox cannot protect itself from the wolves. It is therefore necessary to be a fox, in order to recognize the traps, and a lion, in order to frighten the wolves: those who base their behaviour only on the lion do not understand things. A wise ruler, therefore, cannot and should not keep his word when such an observance would be to his disadvantage, and when the reasons that caused him to make a promise are removed...
Therefore, it is not necessary for a prince to possess all of the above-mentioned qualities, but it is very necessary for him to appear to possess them. Furthermore, I shall dare to assert this: that having them and always observing them is harmful, but appearing to observe them is useful: for instance, to appear merciful, faithful, humane, trustworthy, religious, and to be so; but with his mind disposed in such a way that, should it become necessary not to be so, he will be able and know how to change to the opposite. One must understand this: a prince, and especially a new prince, cannot observe all those things for which men are considered good, because in order to maintain the state he must often act against his faith, against charity, against humanity, and against religion. And so it is necessary that he should have a mind ready to turn itself according to the way the winds of Fortune and the changing circumstances command him. And, as I said above, he should not depart from the good if it is possible to do so, but he should know how to enter into evil when forced by necessity.
Men in general judge more by their eyes than their hands: everyone can see, but few can feel. Everyone sees what you seem to be, few touch upon what you are, and those few do not dare to contradict the opinion of the many who have the majesty of the state to defend them...Ā Therefore, let a prince conquer and maintain the state, and his methods will always be judged honourable and praised by all. For ordinary people are always taken in by appearances and by the outcome of an event. And in the world there are only ordinary people; and the few have no place, while the many have a spot on which to lean.
- Niccolo Machiavelli, The Prince, translated and edited by Peter BondanellaĀ (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2005), 60-2.
11. Ā justice Ā : Ā does your muse find it easy to be impartial in emotional situations ?
Ā Ā Ā sometimes !!Ā astoria is very good at removing herself from a situation to get a better understanding of it; sheās practical, and pragmatic, even though sheās also deeply dramatic. with a handful of exceptions, such as a violation of her very limited code, astoria is able to create and maintain emotional distance, so as to ensure that her decisions, whatever they are, are made with a specific goal in mind. as merchant princess, thatās typically the betterment of seleny, but when sheās making a choice simply as astoria,Ā itās for her own benefit / the benefit of the people she loves.Ā
Ā Ā Ā when she canātĀ be unemotional, however, she becomes vicious and intense in her feelings. if she should be angry, sheās furious; if she should be sad, sheās devastated; if she should be happy, sheās euphoric. if there comes a point when astoriaās emotional control lapses in an intense situation, sheās going to go from zero to a hundred in no time at all.Ā
16. Ā the tower Ā :Ā what event drastically changed your museās life ? do they resent that event or are they glad of it ?
Ā Ā Ā for astoria, in any verse, itās always the carrows, and itās always less of an event than a series of events: here, the carrows arrive in seleny after the death of astoriaās grandmother, escorting her ashes back home after she dies and is cremated in tevinter. they stay with the grimani family ā they were close to veronica, her mother, and are astoriaās godparents ā and ask to be a part of her life and her education. through blood magic, they put her under a thrall, and begin using her to try and unseat her grandfather as part of an attempt by a rival city to annex seleny.Ā
Ā Ā Ā so, basically, astoriaās being used to kill her own grandfather. this is the period when sheās abused, physically and psychologically, and itās also the period at which she realizes that nobody else is going to save her, and she has to do it herself. this isnāt an easy feat, mostly because alecto and amycus are both significantly stronger than she is; she knows, then, that sheāll have to manipulate other people into doing what she canāt. she sets a trap, she puts her own life in significant danger, and she waits for someone to show up and help her. the help comes in the form of her personal guard, lorenzo; his aid is the only thing that prevents her murder.Ā
Ā Ā Ā it comes down to a few lessons learned, for astoria: first, she cannot rely on anyone, except lorenzo, to protect her. she has to protect herself. she has to be the smartest person in any room; she has to know all the ways out of a crisis; she has to be ruthless; and if sheās going down, she has to take other people down with her. itās not an easy thing to learn at any age, but especially not at fifteen. second, she is not safe anywhere, even at home. safety is not guaranteed; itās bought, usually with her own bloodshed. she leaves seleny for six years, refusing to return home even for holidays, and she goes instead to orlais, where she studies at the university at val royeaux. there, where everyone is perpetually playing the game and constantlyĀ at war with everyone else, she feels safest: not because orlais is remotelyĀ safe, but because sheās always alert. and third, she is not ready to rule seleny. her inability to prevent the carrows from controlling her could have destroyed her city; if she canāt protect her city, she has no value to it. she spends the time sheās in orlais training as a bard, certainly, and begging lorenzo to supplement her training, but more than that she learns how to read people, how to understand them. sheās small, and her greatest advantage in a fight is her size, but put her against a warrior or a mage and, unless she has the element of surprise, sheās done for. sheās perfectly adequate in combat, but thatās not a guarantee of anything. she has to fight her battles in more subtle ways, to ensure that she is neverĀ put in that position again. astoriaās battlefield is a throne room, a war table, a diplomatic engagement, and she must always excel, and she must alwaysĀ win.
Ā Ā Ā she doesnāt regretĀ it, even though she hates that it happened. she tells herself that these lessons were necessary, and that without them she would be too weak to have any right to rule; itās not a healthy outlook, and i donāt think itās one she ever changes. sheās not gratefulĀ for the suffering, but she is proud of the strength she develops in its aftermath, and of herself.Ā
21. Ā the world Ā :Ā Ā is there one thing in life that your muse must accomplish ? what will they do when they complete that goal ?
