Original Character October day 3: Dalshen Derahel, drow paladin
Dalshen! Those who have followed for a year or so may remember him from the 2019's OC-October. He was the first one I drew in this style, but I considered he had changed enough to warrant a new drawing! He's the first NPC the party carried along on a mission. He actually got them wrapped up in all this drama. He was a knight-in-training at the time, and uh, wanted to solve a case by himself instead of searching his superiors.
Long story short, the party helped him. He kinda joined along afterwards, as the seemingly innocuous case required further investigation. After a few adventures here and there, he got kidnapped by the baddies the party was pursuing, and... When they found him again, he was trapped in an underground workshop and experimented with. Apparently, they had forced magic corruption on him in hoped to get powerful crystals out of his body. The party managed to save him, but the magical disease is, well, unfixable. Dalshen isn't sure how much time he's left, but he's trying to enjoy whatever is left now. And he finally became a fully fledged knight!
