I didn’t expect that a simple attempt to figure out why is there a portrait of Radahn in Volcano Manor and what were the relationships between two brothers would lead me to a massive brain rot about Miquella’s kidnapping.
First thing I noticed is that Redmane (Radahn’s) and Gelmir (Rykard’s) knights are wearing armor sets very similar to Cuckoo Knights, who served Caria Royal Family, except their plumes are red.
The red plume is a symbol of Radahn’s pedigree as Lord Radagon’s son - the mane of the proud Red Lion
Helm worn by knights once loyal to Praetor Rykard. Its crest of red feathers symbolizes Rykard’s pedigree as Lord Radagon’s son
Radahn was amongst the children of Rennala and Radagon, who became demigod stepchildren after Radagon’s union with Queen Marika
Rykard and Radahn both were close enough during their youth. Still, I was suprised when I found that Rykard… probably assisted Radahn in a war against Malenia as well?
