In this episode, we explore the Venerable archetype and the quiet, heavy burden of being a monument in a world that keeps moving.
In this episode, we discuss:
The Burden of the Pedestal: Why the venerable character rules through history rather than power, and the collective "standing up" that happens when a legend enters the room.
The Relic of a Former Age: Exploring the friction that occurs when an ancient master is called back to action in a world they no longer recognize, forcing them to be a monument that moves.
Is your legendary character an unyielding statue, or are you allowing the reader to see the cracks where the human is struggling to live up to being a living legend?
