something about the fact that ghosting is "a unanimous community decision that has to be discussed by all members of the silvergrove and is not taken lightly." every single elf in the community committed to symbolically killing two loving parents for a supposed moment of shame. including rayla. every single elf in the community committed to symbolically killing a child, for making it out alive. for what they so momentously assumed was abandoning ship. they destroyed the life of a child for not being willing to die.
tiadrin and lain were--to reiterate--loving parents. they were brave enough to dedicate their lives to protecting the future of xadia. i'm sure everyone admired and honored them greatly. then, everyone (symbolically) ended their lives. their best friends, whom they trusted enough to leave their child with them. their own daughter, who loved them, and who spent years of her life looking up to them--revering them to the point where she could validate their decision.
rayla was 15. rayla was endlessly hardworking, achieving, mature, kind, heroic, brave, resilient, and noble. rayla went out of her way to become an assassin, a role in the silvergrove highly respected for their understanding and handling of life and death. rayla did everything she could to be as valiant as her parents. rayla betrayed her own parents, and did everything she could to be nothing like them. rayla was everything the silvergrove could ask for. and rayla made one presumed blunder, and she had the gall to live on.
rayla was 15 when her community, her entire world, abominated her for "cowardice." her honorary father. grief-stricken over the love of his life, but nonetheless having taken her in, shown her the utmost kindness and sensitivity, and raised her for half a decade, at the very least.
i am normal. wdym rayla has trauma? wdym rayla is incredible for having come this far? wdym rayla doesn't deserve to lose everything she has left for what she good-intentional-ly did when she was as fractured a person as you can be? wdym tdp is really good at building cultures with nuance? wdym

I'm not sure if Rayla will ever feel like part of her family again after she gets her parents and Runaan out of the coins. She still loves them, but it was also a long time. She has been through a series of traumas and carries the consequences with her. Her parents are still the ones who abandoned her when she was little. Runaan basically disowned her in a way the moment she chose the option of peace over the mission. And Ethari? He ghosted her even though she was all he had left.
She was alone for so long.
Yeah, her family will never feel the same

Andromeda's age
Tumblr media
So because of what Runaan said here I thought Andromeda is the youngest besides Rayla. She and Ram looks pretty young and they were at least teens when Rayla was a child. But look at her horns cuffs, she is already married. So she got married when she was sixteen or seventeen? She is not fully trained yet because she can't access the moonshadow form yet, so she is young. It might not be weird in their race to marry at a young age.
By the way and it's not related but my headcanon is that she was married with Eljaal from Tales of Xadia. He is also assassin and he left because he was afraid their partner won't agree with their action, because they didn't kill their target so it's make sense their partner is assassin as well. They are married because of their horn cuffs so it's nice to think they are married to each other.

I don't know if I've posted about this before but I think that we'll be seeing a lot more of the Moonshadow forest and elves in the final two seasons of the show.
We have Rayla's family being freed, the entire family being reunited, Rayla, Lain and Tiadrin being unghosted, a Runaan story and Kimdael lurking around there.
I also think that there's a very real possibility that at least some of our favourite characters will end up staying and living in the Silvergrove, especially after Aaravos returns. It's hidden by a powerful illusion spell to conceal it from uninvited outsiders so it could be the perfect place for them to hide out and formulate a plan to defeat Aaravos. Plus there also looks like there's a lot of space for tents etc for them to stay in.

Tales of Xadia characters-Laaner
Tumblr media
Name: Laaner Pronounce: He/him Race: Moonshadow Elf Living place: Silvergrove Profession: Scout Information: He is the messenger in Silvergrove and can make the most dire news lighthearted.
On a personal note: I think he looks like a teenager so my headcanon is that he's in Rayla's age and they were in class together.

Who is the main leader/king/queen of Silvergrove? Or is it you?
It cannot be me anymore, little shadow. I'm in a coin, and the Moonshadow Elves of the Silvergrove do not embrace capitalism.

if Ethari were here he would laugh himself sick over that morbid pun, just so you know

I couldn't sleep, so my mind went back to a fanfic I never finished, but I remember Rayla being on something like a council to decide if her ghosting would be canceled or not...
And I don't know if you've noticed, but I love angst , so
Tumblr media
So I thought and created ways to hurt myself the most;
What if Rayla went to court regarding her banishment, only for the Silvergrove Council of Elders to decide that she deserved the same punishment she should have received on the spot that night; death
I hate myself so much.
Of course, I did not sleep at all after that thought

Eljaal
We've got several glimpses about Rayla's training as assassin and we didn't see Eljaal. Rayla watched Runaan train the assassins in the Bloodmoon Huntress but Eljaal is not part of them, the assassins were the ones who went to the assassination mission against Harrow and Ezran. In Chasing Shadows Rayla mentioning her training with Andromeda and Skor, but they were in the mission.
Silvergrove doesn't feel like a huge place so probably all the assassins are train together, so that means Eljaal is from Hollow Wood? Because if they were from Silvergrove they should have train with Runaan as well right?
