Just some attempts at my BG3-Tav Ashalia is in fact a pretty old oc, born in WoW 3.3.5 and reinvented as a paladin in various games

You can still find some old art from years ago on this blog

And I really want to make theories, so, if you read The Licanius Trilogy, like The Shadow Of What Was Lost, An Echo Of Things To Come, and are currently reading The Light Of All That Falls already it already hop on. To anyone who hasn't read this trilogy I beg you to change that, it's a fantastic trilogy.

Spoilers

So we all know that Caeden is a Venerable, and that Malshash, whom Davian met in the first book in Dealannis, is exactly Caeden. Davian is supposed to die according to Caeden and the other Venerable by going back in time back when Caeden was Aerkain Deaved (I have no idea how to write that) and my point is that I'm not sure if Malshash is supposed to exist and if he is then there's a fair chance that Davian won't really die. Because there's a line that Caeden/Aerkain didn't cross to make there be a Malshash, and I know it's messed up and complicated so I'm trying to figure this out.

The timeline is supposed to be:

Before:

Caeden is Aerkain Deaved (also Malshash, Tal'kamar), he does unexplainable things, some really fucked up shit and he's an enemy to the entire world. He consciously starts to doubt as to if he's doing the right thing but he's still in denial. Suddenly Davian crosses his path, tells him what will happen and what he's doing is wrong and that he'll come to hate everything he did, and under the pressure of emotions Caeden kills him, the boy named Davian who claimed to be from Caeden's future. However even tho he doesn't want to, he starts questioning wherever what he's doing is wrong, so after several years of doubt nagging him, he finally starts making proof. He wants to know if the man he killed was right. He gets the truth and he immediately starts working everything out, he has no time for other things, he's making plans, preparing everything and at the time of where his real plan is entering he escapes to the water of rebirth or something like that.

That's exactly where Caeden starts his life, with a wiped out clean memory.

So you see, there's no place for where Malshash was supposed to make a living. He is from the future and past at the same time, but at the same time he isn't either Aerkain or Caeden. He knows what will happen and we know that, but then apart from this part there's also one thing not adding up. Caeden's plan is to lock himself in one of the things in the Barriers (idk the name in English) and you can't escape from there. He isn't trying to change the date like Malshash tried to, and according to time, everything you do will happen/would happen even in the future/past again and again making something like a chain reaction. So why isn't Caeden trying to change the fate like Malshash did? And if Caeden locked himself under the Barrier, then Malshash must have done so many years ago, and he wouldn't have the chance to change anything since Caeden is planning for there to be his death. You can't go out of that place, he knows he's going to get murdered there, so in this whole fucking storyline, Malshash isn't even supposed to exist and never did.

Beer! :D

just a sketch though, sorry for the bad quality, but I'm tired >,>
