This is what the Telhan Knights will look like, roughly. Who are the Telhan Knights?
Well I'm glad I forced you to ask that question. They are a group of elite warriors, chosen and trained from youth. They are the White Hand of the Telhan Church, who worship Tovah. These riders are untouchable as far as law goes, as anything they do is sanctioned by the church. As far as fighting capabilities, well. If one of the riders had to somehow magically fight themselves, they would win. Period.
There are 10 of them. At least, 10 that are known. There is one more,one that no one has ever seen and one that none know of save the White Eyes, the high council of the church. They literally have white eyes.Anyway, this secret rider's name is Tedan. Tedan is Harowhin's father. Plus, he's a Phoenix.
Tedan is the 11th rider, and if the White Eyes send him for you, you can be sure you're going to die. There are no rumors of an eleventh rider or stories. None. So, you can surmise that anyone he attacks dies. This is important because he is a Sre'thesu. Even if he is a Phoenix, he's still a Sre'thesu, so the mainland peoples find him disgusting.
The Phoenix blood runs in the Sre'Caill (Owl) lineages. Traditionally, the Phoenix is mated with the strongest female in order for them to become more and more supreme. But the last truly hailed Phoenix ran from his duty to protect when Sre'Se ordered him to help fight the Heaven's war (if this sounds unfamiliar, re-read the little lore story Tovah tells Harowhin). He disappeared, and the blood line vanished. Or so it is thought.
Anyway, Tedan is going to pop up soon in the story, revealing all of this to Harowhin, along with the corruption of the White Eyes and the whole Telhan Church. Tedan is going to train Harowhin to the best of his abilities before... well. You'll see.
"But why is Harowhin just a regular owl if his dad is a Phoenix?" you might be thinking. Because his mother is the Queen of the Empire. Scandalous. That is also why he can only partially change and why it rips his skin and hurts. Very important stuff to know. Now, yes, Harowhin does have Phoenix blood in him, and it does come into use. However, I'll save that explanation for anther post.
More on the Telhan Knights? Well the photo above is basically them, except each use a different weapon. Also, each has a special mount from pure Clydesdale bloodlines. Why Clydesdales? They are slower, true. But they can easily trample a man. There is a song, with 11 verses, 10 sung, 1 hummed, that tells of each rider, his weapon and his mount. I've yet to write this song, but I've been thinking on it for a while.
I was going to write about ketchup today, but I may do that tomorrow. Who knows?
If you have any questions you'd like to ask me, PLEASE DO SO. I'd love to discuss this more. Till next time,
♥, Me.
