Description:

All the stories relating to the morally-gray, vindictive, sad dowager Tyrest will go here. There's not really an overall plot, besides the fact he seems to be a magnet for drama.

Notes:

This is the AU!Tyrest compilation series. It serves to give Tyrest the lore that I know for sure that Hasbro/Takara will never ever give him. Since I finished “The City of Wonder” back in 2016, I had been on the fence about whether or not I should bother posting about him. Despite the story not actually being finished, I found an adequate stopping point and tried to focus on other things. However, it became apparent from fandom trends that nobody else seemed to care about the initial concept that was pitched to us fans; that the Tyrest Accord was intended to be a peace treaty of sorts. (It didn't quite work out but it managed to lessen the Great War's impact.)

We could’ve had this fascinating character that would’ve been good, wholesomely progressive too in official works but that wasn’t meant to be. I’m also certain that he will never be portrayed in a similar way, as I’m describing, in future TF media. Other fans seem to prefer simple villains and/or gray-morality that involves hurting innocents…being generally edgy. And for the most part, their Tyrest headcanons are terrible. So yes, my motivation to continue is now purely self-indulgence and my desire to have quality Tyrest content. (I have to do something for it to exist.)

And in case you're wondering, Tyrest is the Stone Idol mentioned in this series' title.
