Ofc it's gonna be Him

But, I have yapped long enough about Beloved's traumatic past and his life in the circus, I think it's time for more recent affairs.

That being his betrayal to his current patron, the eldritch horror Mallacht, by forming a pact with a second patron; The Alderking, Crowe (1/?

Okay actually fuck it, lmao, I've been waiting for it - Beloved, number 4 😈, 10 or 17(with the Alderking lmaooooo)

Options for you

!!!! I need to do some updated art of him but I offer these sketches! This is my fae man Yngvi, he is a magician to the Alderking in the Unseelie court 🤗🤗

Thus far, Beloved has only been summoned once - as a plus one for a solstice celebration. Naturally, the Alderking and folk love their artists and to have an expert performer was something he'd never miss.

So Bel performs, and he surely will again. As the Alderking's Blade.

An enemy in common, it seems. The Alderking asks Beloved to become his blade and slay the monstrosity that is Mallacht on his behalf.

Beloved can feel that there is history there, something he was getting himself in the middle of but... to earn his freedom?

He'd make a pact again. (8/?)

All the Alderking asks for in return, aside from the assurance that a monster is slain, is Beloved's devotion.

Again, the warlock demands that Grey is free from the Fae court unharmed and unaltered, as he was when entering the woods. Surprisingly, Crowe agrees... (9/?)

8) vigilant and loyal as, who he soon called the Alderking won over followers and formed his very own court. The Unseelie, or commonly known as the Night court. Soon, Ariel was not his sole protector, but was one of six.

At first, Beloved thinks the Alderking wants his "devotion" and is firm that he is committed to Grey but is willing to show him love in other means.

They agee that when Crowe summons him he *will* show up, keep him company and tell him stories. A friend.

The Alderking, Crowe, wishes to speak with Bel. From the moment he entered the woods, Crowe could feel the volatile and... strangely familiar magic that lies within him.

Beloved, at this point, is mostly interested in getting out of the court with Grey and *demands* his lover's safety (3/?)

Honestly, no wonder the Alderking got frustrated and had to makeout with one of his consorts after Beloved performed in his court lmaooo

After he and his partner, Grey, enter the woods of Teknon - a great forest dense in magic and Fair Folk alike - they end up wondering right into the dangerous Unseelie court.

Grey is whisked away, enamoured by food and dance while Beloved is invited to a private audience with the Alderking. (2/?)

Crowe enjoys his confidence to make demands to not only a King but one as ancient and powerful as him!! Naturally, this makes our favourite green tiefling more angry but he grits his teeth and is willing to hear the Alderking out.

If only so he can ensure Grey doesn't become lost to the Fae. (4/?)

Does Erlking mean Alderking in German?

Btw @raccooninthegarage.bsky.social The Darkest Part of the Forest is also part of the Elfhame world, I saw it in the back of one of my paperbacks and I recognize Grimsen and the Alderking
There might be other crossovers too but it’s mostly standalone

You guys are so cute lmao. OK! So I will be making a lil post thread, but for now I give you one fact and Fae another >:3

Ariel is a sworn night of the Alderking in the Unseelie court. He was born the day the final giant was reclaimed by the earth, & is as old as the Great forest the fey reside in

She's too (dumb) work focused to see what that has to do with her, good luck alderking
December 15, 2025 at 7:27 PM
Okay but will you draw all of these regardless??? Because 🙏🙏🙏

My vote though is for the Alderking!!!
December 28, 2025 at 8:45 AM
...I feel like the Alderking would want Sypha to join his court- random thought, he asked me to let you know

but also in fairness he IS the personal magician to the Alderking in the fae court he is from so like,,,, he's gotta at SOME point right???
June 21, 2025 at 7:34 PM
His name is Crowe ;3 and he is the Alderking of the night court in our story The Sun Prince <3 (we are making the setting for our first campaign to play in before the events of the story)

In Bel's opinion his "worst" hear me out is his second, archfey, patron The Alderking. Mostly because he knows he shouldn't want that fae as carnally as he does, what with the power imbalance and his commitment to Grey but... damn is he fine as hell.
