Eternal of Summer

Sobriquets

Jaheris is the Unicorn Prince, and the Lord of the Forest of Arden.

Appearance

The Moonsilver Prince is usually clad in blue-and-silver, and appears with the horns of a stag. His device is a silver unicorn on a blue background. .

The Lord of Despite is closely associated with the eternal Eleonaris. He is sometimes her rival, and sometimes her ally. In some stories he is her father who she overthrew to claim her throne, in others he is her son who strives to usurp his mothers' seat. Sometimes it seems he is her beloved consort, but he always plots against her and is cast down. Sometimes he is her brother, who seeks to take her throne by force. In recent years, their relationship appears to have undergone a fundamental shift, and Jaheris has quit the Fields of Glory for the Forest of Arden, which he now rules as his own realm.

Concerns

Until very recently, Jaheris had no realm of his own. Now, he rules over the Forest of Arden having claimed the demesne from the eternal Hayaak.

He appears to be filled with bitterness about his relationship with Eleonaris. Their armies and courtiers clash in open conflict - there is comparatively little scheming or plotting between them. Rather their relationship seems to exemplify the clash of kings, the thrill of ambition, and the striving between powerful individuals to claim dominance over one-another and the world.

He sometimes seeks to draw others into his schemes against Eleonaris, but it is perhaps worth remembering that (as the enchanter Lydia de Courland said in one of her studies of the Eternals of Summer) "Jaheris is treachery and ambition incarnate, but this is the Summer realm, not the Autumn realm; his schemes never succeed, and it may be that they never can. The only way he can ever usurp Eleonaris would be to become mightier, more noble, more powerful than she - and were that to happen I truly believe the only result would be that the two of them would swap roles. He would become the regal king of the Fields of Glory, and she would become the bitter rival scheming to steal his throne. In fact, I would not be surprised to discover that exactly that had happened before, perhaps many times. Indeed, it could well be that they are not two Eternals at all, but one powerful magical spirit in two bodies."
