violets and the stars

Diaspora is available on Steam, the Google Play Store, and wherever you can buy Hosted Games publications.

Hey everyone, this is the dev blog for Diaspora, a ChoiceScript IF in which you take on the role of the heir of Clan Maghnus, a group of Cine chased from their homeland by a raging war.

Without giving away too much, Diaspora is a game about culture clash, and finding one’s way in unfamiliar territory. The player assumes the role of the heir of Clan Maghnus, a particular clan of the Cine, a raiding culture from the harsh northern climates of the world. They’re very loosely based on Celtic and Norse cultures, but definitely expect the differences to be far more prominent than the similarities. The PC’s mother is the current clan Chief, but in the interests of the future, the story sees her handing more and more important responsibilities down to them, allowing them to effectively shape the destiny of their Clan.

Shaken, doubtful, remorseful.

Finally finished the second batch of BG3 portraits - now going to be moving onto the villains! These are all available to purchase as stickers, badges and prints on my Redbubble (link below). I’ll eventually make my own products for these, but for now please check out my Redbubble if you can!

I'm working on the rest of these as well - planning on getting most of the fave NPCs included in this collection.

Fandom: Avowed (Video Game), Pillars of Eternity Relationships: Claviger Eamund & Inquisitor Lödwyn, Claviger Eamund & Falscen Hylgard, Claviger Eamund & Kai, hint at Falscen Hylgard/Inquisitor Lödwyn Characters: Claviger Eamund, Falscen Hylgard (Avowed), Inquisitor Lödwyn (Pillars of Eternity), Kai (Avowed), mentions of the Envoy, mentions of Ygwulf, mentions of Woedica - Character, mentions of Ondra Summary:

He hopes the qualities that help him navigate the chaos of Paradis will see him through anything, no matter what comes his way.

That is, until he realizes the ambassador and the inquisitor are hardly birds of a feather. And trying to balance between them is like standing on a sheet of ice over a frozen river, with Hylgard on one bank, Lödwyn on the other, glaring daggers back and forth — right through him.

An exploration of three power figures reigning over Paradis.
