#varrow

may have acquired a song (or part of one) that could work for a varrow amv... hmm

anyway Viren's consistent attempts at undermining Kpp'Ar's status ("to play with your toys" when said 'toy' is the rare, powerful relic Viren very much needs) while simultaneously desperately craving it at their breaking point only to do the exact same thing to Harrow at their breaking point. yeah

thinking about Viren-Harrow Viren-Kpp'Ar relationship dynamic parallels: both men elevated in status above Viren whom he accordingly served / was in a subservient position under, yet the proximity and favour given in word or action or deed was inevitably not enough upon a tipping point of loss mixed with entitlement, and both men Viren eventually Took from by subsuming their positions of power and items associated with it (the crown, the staff of ziard) the same way that, as a dark mage, Viren Took from everything
