#sunfire elves

Another lazy WIP sketchhh, I love sunfire elves so much- Janai specifically. She needs love after everything she lost- I wanna know your headcanon about Janai or sunfire elves in particular.

From left to right (top): Vyxen, Hendyr, Aeolus, Jacia (the Skywings)| From left to right (bottom): Sahkr (Sunfire), Lain, Tiadrin (Moonshadows), Akari (Sunfire) Lol I was such a liar about how long this would take. But, fun fact, it got done quicker... cause my neighborhood lost power for over 15 HOURS. So I couldn't do any sewing, or get any art ref images for Artfight, or even access my new modules till the power came back...which left, this.

Janai is the last of her line. Her sister died childless, and she explicitly disinherited her brother's children because of his treason. As far as we know, she and Amaya cannot have biological children. That means she has no immediately viable way of creating an heir to the throne, during a time of enormous instability for the Sunfire Kingdom (capitol city just got nuked by an exploding elf after previously being infested with zombies, Sol Regem was just murdered after torching the capitol city of the Queen Consort's home kingdom, a civil war between the two members of the royal family was just fought, Prince Karim was just murdered, the Sun was recently EXTINGUISHED and then restored, etc etc etc).

That spells trouble. Especially because Janai is married to a human, and not just any human, but a member of the royal family of Katolis (you know, that place the Sun Dragon just razed). That alone recently sparked a civil war. The fact that Janai has no heir, and no clear way of creating one, makes her an easy target for usurpers. And said usurpers have two perfect puppets to rally around as symbols: the disinherited twins. They could EASILY stir xenophobic Sunfire citizens into a frenzy over the Removal Of Two Pureblooded Royals From Their Inheritance In Favor Of A Childless Queen Under Katolis's Influence.

So Janai needs an heir. Badly. Hopefully the Sunfire kingdom allows the naming of unrelated people as heirs, so she can choose someone suitable; this would also avoid the possibility of a child ruler were she to die young, which would leave Amaya as the Queen Regent, which would cause an uproar given that she is human and part of the Katolis royal family.

Now, if Janai does have a baby with Amaya (through magic or through one of them having been trans the whole time), this raises another issue: the resulting child would be half-human. That means a shortened lifespan, and thus another perceived weakness in Janai's heir by the populace. She would still have to contend with uprisings and usurpers. Doubly so if she dies young and leaves the child on the throne with Amaya as Queen Regent: there would be coups within the week.

Tressal had meanwhile given up Dark Magic to became Crown Prince after Kasefs death and to better care for his handicapped father. Still on his side, the loyal Routhna

Ezran prefers to travel between Evryknd and the Storm Spire with Zym. There watching the stars to get a sign of Aaravos' return

Callum and Rayla regularly visiting Runaan and Ethari. Especial during her pregnancy

Callum had studied the other Primal sources. By the sun one he got help from Queen Janai. By earth from N'than.

we are so back

I have a messed up Headcanon about these forms he takes: their based on some of his past victims. Not perfect copies mind you, but the specific elements each elf design has.
