Description Not exactly a scene from The Exciting Adventures of a Cowardly Khajiit but more like a bit of Ralis fanart XD

I wanted to experiment with some facial expressions on Ralis since he is usually miserable as sin and never smiles, only sneers and smirks at best. So Ralis being Ahzidal's puppet seemed like a good way to do a different expression

A bit of info on fanfiction Ralis' "berserker mode" too since it kinda fits with this image.
So in my fanfiction Mir'ika wears Ahzidal's ring of arcana, and Ralis has a connection to it that binds him to its location (and by extension Mir'ika). As long as she wears it he is constantly aware if where she is. The reason for this is that Ahzidal's ring, being an incredibly powerful magical artifact, has a piece of its creator in it. This is true of any enchanted item in my fanfic. The ring resonates so deeply with Ralis because he too has a remnant of Ahzidal in him from when he was possessed and the parts of Ahzidal long to be close together.

This also means that when the ring (or the bearer of the ring) is in mortal danger the part of Ahzidal in Ralis rises to the surface in order to protect its other part. It grants Ralis increased speed and power but he blacks out during these episodes and has no recollection of what happened. And more concerning for Mir'ika is that the Ahzidal fragment in Ralis recognises her as the person who killed the actual Ahzidal. So... have fun with that Mir'ika! Thankfully once the danger is eliminated the fragment goes back under so hopefully she isn't in too much danger... >

Finally! Someone else who likes Ralis! I can scarcely find any art about him I like the lineart and colors. For some reason the semi-thick lines coupled with the style of shading actually looks pretty pleasant. And I like that headcanon idea, too; I never really thought of how Ahzidal would affect him beyond the quest.

Yeeessss! Ralis is great. It's such a shame he gets no attention when Teldryn gets so much. I'm a sucker for a redemption arc though sooo... ^^'
Thank you so much! I got the idea for it when seeing him 1v1 Karstaag and win. It gave me the idea that in times of peril he gets a bit of extra help

The first time I played through Dragonborn, I didn't know there was a chance to spare him (I think because I shot an arrow at him straight off. Oops.) Second time though, I saved him and don't regret a thing. He's a beast in combat! I'm almost not surprised he beat Karstaag haha

For me I was teeeeeeeny hoping to spare him going through the quest. My only thought was "do whatever it takes to keep him alive!" throughout the quest. I was pretty convinced I'd have to kill him so when it gave the option to spare I leapt on it. I just found him hilarious in his sarcastic dry way. The line in his journal "the sleeping dead weren't exactly sleeping and weren't exactly dead" had me laughing.

Plus then it turned out he was a monster in combat so that just cemented him as my favourite follower.

The line when you have him follow you makes me chuckle. "Whatever you say... boss." I also like how he's one of the only followers who can naturally dual-wield weapons without help from the forsworn sword/pickaxe trick. Even though he usually picks enemies off with the Ahzidal's ring spells easily, for me

Haha, yes! Just so naturally sarcastic. He's the best xD
I've yet to try him with the ring. Will definitely try in future
