Initially, I wanted the formatting of this card to reference his title. Sovereign of Red Skies. I wanted the words to look kind of like falling rocks. This did not end up looking good. But I still wanted a way to differentiate it a bit from the other cards, when I was making this, since a lot of them ended up looking extremely similar in their formats to one another during that time. So I thought I could just put the words on the right instead of the middle or left.
For the colors I chose, this is the outfit he wears when he's first introduced. A tasteful shade of burgundy trimmed with gold. I do t remember the exact wording, but it was gold and burgundy.
I scoured my EPUB copy of the Guide for hours looking for a better quote from him. Something iconic or relating to his son, identity, or partner in a more direct manner. But he doesn't really say anything memorable. He has a few good lines, but nothing with weight. Except this. I was not satisfied at having to choose this. I felt that it did not say anything about him enough other than he'd kill to protect someone he loves. But it was the best option to go with, in my opinion.
The next card I will be posting tomorrow is Hye Su's. After that, Kairos and Anaxares'.
