the fact that it’s been revealed that this clown of a wizard Ludinus has been searching for the Raven Queens name for so long helps make the plot line all the way back in EXU: Kymal about Morrighan The Lagomor, this random ass rabbit girl hopping around Exandria, following the birdsong of a Raven, destroying busts that had the OG Raven Queen’s name makes so much sense now.

Look LOOK I'm devastated that Fearne and Orym are separated now, but....
The Crown Keepers currently have 5 PCs (not counting Cyrus, as portrayed by the lovely Aabria), and with Orym, Laudna, and Ashton, they definitely have enough chairs for everyone at the table...
That's all I'm saying 🤷‍♀️

Let's talk about The Morrígu and Sovereignty
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I've noticed a trend over the years among those who work with the Morrígu (especially among Americans, probably because you know 'freedom') where the word sovereignty gets thrown around a lot in some.... odd contexts...
For example "You should never worry about telling her no, she's the goddess of sovereignty she'll respect your decisions EVERYTIME!"
I've always found this very confusing since... She literally brings down her full wrath against Cu Chulainn for rejecting her advances/boons and becoming the high king (and being symbolically married to her)... wasn't a choice... the druids would preform a ceremony and receive divine visions of the future high king and I've NEVER heard of it being turned down.
So lets look at a few definitions;
First for Sovereignty
Sovereignty, though its meanings have varied across history, also has a core meaning, supreme authority within a territory. It is a modern notion of political authority. Historical variants can be understood along three dimensions — the holder of sovereignty, the absoluteness of sovereignty, and the internal and external dimensions of sovereignty. The state is the political institution in which sovereignty is embodied. An assemblage of states forms a sovereign states system.
-from Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy
vs. Individual Sovereignty
'sovereignty of the individual, 'individual sovereignty' or self-sovereignty is generally understood to imply one's property rights including self-ownership also called negative sovereignty, but also includes the rejection of or freedom from positive sovereignty where negative sovereignty includes property rights and positive sovereignty includes the right to subjugate people to command obedience or sovereign rule
- from Wikipedia
The concept of Individual Sovereignty (sometimes called self ownership) is primarily a legal and political philosophy that has grown out of other individualist philosophies. So it would be pretty obvious why it resonates with modern peoples (Americans especially).
Now back to The Morrígu. They are not deities of INDIVIDUAL sovereignty, but classical sovereignty. They empower the kings (high kings especially) to rule the land and are the acting forces which remove kings in the event that they don't uphold the divine expectations of their position (such as true judgments).
Don't believe me? Still thinking to yourself "yes but The Morrígu would never expect me to give up my individual sovereignty, they're empowering." In that case I won't even direct you back to the story of Cu Chulainn, instead we'll look at Macha, wife of Cruinniuc. When she is brought to the horse race, obviously pregnant and asks the king not to make her prove her husbands boasts he declines her request. If The Morrígu were interested in individual sovereignty over sovereignty this would have been a perfect moment to show that. Instead Macha does as her king demands and runs the race, but in her divine aspect she curses not just that king (for his mistreatment of those under him, ie. a pregnant woman) but also all his men and their descendents.
The idea of The Morrígu is not some super individualized empowerment allowing you to defy the authority of those around you (including the gods), the core value is one of justice for those who ARE tread on by Sovereign powers. This may feel like splitting hairs but I assure you the distinction is one worth thinking about, and possibly even changing the way you speak about The Morrígu.

Mythologic Geekery: The Fates
Tumblr media
The next most popular gods for the Mythologic Geekery poll were the Fates. And they are very, very fun. Because with them we are so, so certain that they come from the Proto-Indo-European mythology. Because they show up all over the place and they show up with the same two images again and again: A water/mirror association and the yarn/spinning association. And almost always they are the maiden, the mother and the crone - a combination that is almost inescapable within Indo-European mythologies. More than that: Where we do not have the trio fates, we have a single fate goddess, who can show up either as the maiden, the mother or the crone. Prime example of this is Morrighan in the celtic mythology.
Now, there are some other variations, of course. In the old Lithuanian mythology they were not three, but seven.
But in general the are super interesting, because compared to almost any other deity within the Indo-European myths, they show up with such similar associations. Again, this maiden, mother, crone thing shows up again and again in association with fate. They are always female. And they pretty much always have an association with clothing and yarn, with a secondary association with water, that shows up mostly in those cultures that did a lot of sea faring.
The entire maiden, mother, crone thing comes probably from two things: Women were associated not only with birthing new life (aka starting a new fate), but also with midwifery. As well as the trio always showing the three different stages of life.
The water association is also fairly clear. Because water has been used in scrying (which might both be a "see what is far away" and "what is in the future") since time immemoriam. So, them being associated with water makes a ton of sense, too.
Now, the entire yarn and weaving aspect is more interesting. Because this is very specific to the Proto-Indo-European stuff and might actually tell us something about the Proto-Indo-European culture.
Because within a ton of Proto-Indo-European stuff the same imagery shows up again and again: The tapestry of life. Life and reality somehow being captured within a woven tapestry. Which might tell us, indeed, that weaving was quite important to the Proto-Indo-Europeans, and might have even been considered an artform.
Hence, the fates are weaving this tapestry of life.
Which might remind me: I find it kinda sad that the weaving aspect has gotten lost in a lot of modern depictions of them, with them being reduced to spinsters.
Which is kinda sad.

Critters and Crawlers,
I present to you the Glitter Shitters, the Hot Cross Buns, the Ash-Holes themselves…. The Crown Keepers.
Originally, I planned for the original Sexy Six but Morrighan, the sneaky rouge that she is, slipped herself right into the drawing.

Given how Fearne physically changed when they got to the Feywild, I'm really hoping that she'll act more impulsive and closer to the Fearne we met at the beginning of the campaign. I want to see and support her wrongs, and for the group to deal with the ramifications of a Faun and her nana who are just so unsettling and yet supportive at the same time.

So I know everyone (me included) wants the crown keepers and bells hells to meet.
But consider, bells hells v crown keepers battle royale 👀
I’m imagining Dariax, Opal, Morrighan and Fyra rai vs Imogen, Laudna, Ashton and Chetney
Like they don’t know each other, in this universe Dorian never explained what the hells look like or their names or anything. So they’re basically strangers. And I want to see Spider Queen champion vs Werewolf so bad
