Some inspiration music:

i just realized i’ve been forgetting to post art i’ve done for like a month - whoops! here’s Khestrelar’s level 10 redesign from ages ago lol

You know how I dislike fantasy designs that are just “human but not quite”. So when I DM for DnD, I like to take some “canon” gods and modify them to suit my worldbuilding tastes better. I like to have gods arranged in Houses, Clans or similar setups, grouped by Ao the Overgod or by choise of the gods in question.

As an example, I would like to show off my design for the House of the Heaven, one of the most central divine Houses.

It’s headed by Amaunator, God of Celestial Pathways and the Movements of the Heavens. On his native plane he appears as a black furred canine with two faces and three eyes. He appears rarely to mortals, but prefers the guise of a very tall and lanky humanoid in dark, wizard-like clothing.

Pelor is the winged, golden cow with the sun on their horns. They are the God of the Sun, Agriculture, Hope and Forgiveness. They are often worshiped by humans and halflings, appearing to their worshipers as a golden suit of armor wreathed in warm flame.

Lathander is the protector of the sun when it passes the horizon at dawn and dusk, as well as the God of Birth, Fertility and Renewal. They are enthusiastic and optimistic, flapping their varying number of rose-and-gold wings to match their emotional state rather than to stay in flight. To mortals he usually appears only as a glow around the heads of his devoted followers.

before Lathander was Lathander, before Lathander fucked up with the Dawn Cataclysm, he was... Amaunator? And he had a daughter, Amuana, who died young.

wholesome art from a while ago i forgot to post - Toadie, boy wizard extraordinaire, invented ‘Dayvision’ goggles to negate Khestrelar’s sunlight sensitivity so she could stand outside in the sun for the first time in 200 years and it made all of us cry

new campaign? time for character tarot - Khestrelar fits the Justice card perfectly, so here she is
