Drowtales/Characters/Val'Kyorl'solenurn: Difference between revisions

== The Clan as a Whole ==

The Kyorl'solenurn were one of two Drowussu clans making up the Council of Nine until the Val'Dutan'vir fell and were replaced with the Vel'Vloz'ress. Although both clans were made up of the drowussu minority there was mutual enmity between the two based on each clan's respective ideology. The Dutan'vir saw their place as beside the drowolath (indeed many members were [[Halfbreed|Half Breeds]]) whereas the Kyorl'solenurn desired separation from the drowolath and saw themselves as on a mission from Sharess to keep their cousins ''pure''. The Kyorl'solenurn were the younger of the two drowussu houses and unlike most other Chelians they continue to practice the Sharess religion and claim to carry out their "purges" on her behalf. Unlike other Chelian clans, the Kyorl'solenurn divide themselves into religious orders rather than by sub-houses. There are seven orders in total, of which six have been named in the main comic. Each order is run by a Judicator ({{spoiler|many if not most of whom are really Light Elves, but this fact is unknown to most Kyorl'solenurn}}), whose deputy is known as an Inquisitor; the latter are highly trained empaths who provide "cleansing" for drow who associate with tainted individuals. Individual members of the clan are further sorted by roles, males are either "templars", "crusaders" or "blades", females are either "wardens" or "inquisitors".

 

* [[Animal Motifs]] (The unicorn)

* [[Bodyguard Crush]] (its not hard to infer that most of the Kyorl Orders' warden/blade relationships probably end up like this)

* {{spoiler|[[Boomerang Bigot]]}} (They hate light elves and "impure" people {{spoiler|but not only are several if not most Judicators light elves, but every drowussu is the descendant of one}})

* [[Fantastic Racism]] (towards light elves and half-bloods, though they have accepted a few of the latter into their ranks such as Sang'oro)

* [[Foil]] (They were this to the Dutan'vir before the latter clan's fall. This can even be seen in the choice of animal used for their mounts- the Dutan'vir had the stag, whereas the Kyorl'solennurn have the unicorn.)

* [[Holy Child]] (they revere the "Holy Eyes" {{spoiler|aka Awares like Zhor}} and by extension, Ariel)

* [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl]] (unlike drowolath, who have taller females than males, female drowussu are built smaller than males, and [[Word of God]] is that one reason female Wardens have a male Blade with them is to compensate for this)

* [[Jerkass Has a Point]] (their extremism against the Tainted is surprisingly justified, especially with the revelation about the {{spoiler|intentionally faulty seeds}}. Doesn't stop them from being jerks about it.)

* [[Knight Templar]] (some more than others, but virtually every Kyorl is this to some extent, even the more moderate ones)

* [[Light Is Not Good]]

* [[The Masquerade]] ({{spoiler|many, if not most, of the Judicators are really Light Elves, and this is why they cover themselves in public. It seems only a few Kyorl know the truth about their heritage}})

* [[Pure Is Not Good]] (generally any time the word "purity" gets invoked someone is about to die)

* [[Secret Test of Character]] ({{spoiler|1=visiting Lioshi's fort turns out to be one of these, since some Kyorl, after hearing that they're descended from Light Elves, attempt to [http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=5462 throw themselves from the balcony]. Luckily it's a short drop so all that happens is a few bruises and some embarrassment.}})

* [[Irony|Ironic Counterpart]] (with Zala'ess, another in-universe [[Mama Bear]]. Both have children they care deeply for and both have cases where their biological child was killed by their adoptive child. The difference is in how they react to the situation. Whereas Zala'ess was infuriated to the point of wanting to kill Yaeminira for killing Vy'chriel, {{spoiler|according to the '''Rebirth''' sidestory Shimi'lande instead adopted Chirinide (then known as Mrid'harini) as her daughter and gave her the original's rank and title.}} Zala'ess never forgave Yaeminira for her actions and {{spoiler|arranges Yaeminira's death via a [[Xanatos Gambit]]}} whereas Shimi'lande has practically taken {{spoiler|Chirinide}} under her wing. The difference in reaction is odd due to the Kyorl'solenurn desire for blood purity and the Sharen obsession with strength and obedience to authority.)

* [[Mama Bear]] (towards both her biological and adoptive children, in fact, {{spoiler|1=Vy'Chriel was counting on this reaction to kick off a fight between the Vloz'ress and the Kyorl, which is why she gave Kharla [http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?order=chapters&id=631 a Kyorl to dollify]}})

* [[Seers|Seer]]

 

 

Shimi'lande's adopted daughter who shares her ability to see the past and the future.

 

* [[The Cassandra]] (has visions, but Ariel tends to dismiss them)

* [[Character Development]] (her character arc has been made up of her becoming more tolerant and open to understanding, especially after learning {{spoiler|the truth about drowussu and light elves}})

* [[Estrogen Brigade Bait]]

* [[Facial Markings]] ([[Word of God]] says that the mark on his forehead represents how he shields Chiri and that's why it's larger and bolder)

* [[Multicolored Hair]] (has black hair at the front and his bangs but the back of his hair is kept blond or white.)

* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]] (with Chiri, as the blue oni)

 

* [[Basement Dweller]] (by virtue of literally being in the Sharen's basement, and also fits in that most of the Sharen, ''especially'' Zala'ess, don't like her being there but let her stick around mostly to keep the Kyorl happy)

* [[Curtains Match the Window]] (mostly, since her eyes and hair are slightly different shades of gray)

* [[Fun Size]] (she has to be this when standing if she is even smaller than most of the already standardly small drowussu)

* [[Gray Eyes]]

* [[Proper Lady]]

* [[Seer]] (and it's implied that this is how she knew Chrys'tel was looking for Valerian tea to help her sleep)

** [[Silk Hiding Steel]]: by implication, since she's lived as long as she has in the Sharen's basement, essentially the middle of the hornet's nest as far as tainted go. The only thing more [[Badass]] would be living amongst the Vloz'ress.

 

A young templar, he accompanies Chiri and Shan'naal into Chel, {{spoiler|and winds up tainted. He has since run away and is now with the Sarghress.}}

 

* [[The Big Guy]] (Tir'ade is shown to be rather tall for a drowussu period; estimates put him at about six feet)

* [[Blue Eyes]] ({{spoiler|Originally}})

* {{spoiler|[[I Don't Want to Die]]}} ({{spoiler|what causes him to [[Screw Destiny]]}})

* [[I Owe You My Life]] (to Ant'alya, which prompts him to {{spoiler|1=[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=631 take her body back to the Sarghress fortress]}})

=== Mili'ani Kyorl'solenurn ===

 

 

* [[Ax Crazy]] (Heavily implied to be this in her introduction)

* [[Blindfolded Vision]] / [[Blind Seer]] (Even provides the page image for the former! Ae'theriss is not actually blind, but needs the blindfold to augment her empathy)

* [[The Empath]]

* [[Fragile Flower]]

* [[Ill Girl]]

* [[In the Hood]]

* [[Living Emotional Crutch]] (For Ae'theriss who physically relies on him to be her shield)

* [[Principles Zealot]]

 

 

* [[Curb Stomp Battle]] (Her fight with Ni'bai Vloz'ress)

* [[Dropped a Bridge on Him]] (Subverted. It looked like she was killed during her fight with Ni'bai, but later chapters showed her to be alive and well)

* [[The Empath]] (as an Inquisitor she's this by default, though she's an exception to the rule that most Inquisitors wear as little clothing as possible and mainly fill support roles)

* [[Ignored Epiphany]] (doesn't believe Ni'bai when told the truth about the Nidraa'chal War)
