and once again majestic melancholic time is interrupted by cousins…. So we know that Ravens are everywhere on the royal Erebor things, and about Dáin and his boar.

Meanwhile, Akhsan busts into Erebor looking majestic as fuck. That’s about it. Slightly based on his attention-seeking entrance in this fic

Thorin Stonhelem’s design and inspirtion is from @determamfidd. Akhsan is loosely based on Martin Sensmeier… because of course.
