And here are ALL of the girls in the photoshoot run!!

It features a Dwarf whom named...

Tingli, son of Dingli.

Yes, you read right.

Tingli, son of Dingli, is good at tending to wounds, codes aggressively Scottish, and is a nomadic deleuzian who thinks capitalism and borders take away from people. In which regard he may be right, in fact.

She could feel a warmth flooding her heart, a sense of familiarity encompasses her and shrouds her like an embrace. The crimson eyes gaze back at her, and saw a gentle curl to her lips. Who is the girl in my dreams?

Erelas is Drelora's twin adoptive sister and the form the Emperor takes for the Dream Guardian during the events of BG3. This is a very small WIP snippet of Drelora's lost memories seeping into her dreams in Act 1, and she sees her sister, Erelas. Later on when the Dream Guardian comes to visit Drelora, she feels a strange sense of possible trust with the Emperor because of these lost fragmented memories that are slowly coming back to her.

Little does she know is that Erelas has been dead for years now. Before the awakening of the Dark Urge, she lived a happy life with her family and her sister, Erelas. Until one fateful day, the Urge awakens, showing her the true destiny that Bhaal has for her with the blood prophecy. She loses control and murders her entire family, leaving behind a massacre and flees in the middle of the night. Rumor has it is Erelas' body was missing by the time the murdered family was found in the morning.

What could have happened and did anyone see?

That was where the Pre-Bhaal era stuff for both Drelora and Erelas could go. Drelora ends up finding out the truth about murdering Erelas not until Act 3 when the discovery about being the ex-Chosen of Bhaal comes to light and finds out the truth behind the song that was stuck in her mind. It belonged to Erelas. The song is also tied to another character in Drelora's backstory, but, the main idea of it was that it was a song she came up with to dedicate in memory of her family, but mostly, Erelas.

So there she is. She is so important to Drelora's story that I can't help but think about her all the time too when it comes to thinking about Drelora. It's just that she is mostly hidden in the background by spoilers, and by the time, you would really get to know her is not until Act 3 revealed when Drelora finds out. I've played around with the idea of her also being a Tav and it's just so god damn heart breaking when she also finds out the truth behind the Grand Design by the Big 3 and Drelora actually spares her and keeps her alive. There's so much to her that I haven't even touched, and yet, she rotates my brain too.

And here I am putting needless pressure on myself to put out the last part of Flowers of Mordor’s Yuletide arc before Christmas, but functionally before Mr. Nisile leaves on the Christmas trip with his family on the 23rd that I’m not joining due to an abundance of caution for my health.

The second chapter is written! It will be out soon. In the meantime, here is a peek ahead! As a reminder, this is the fic written by my husband that I am posting on his behalf.

But most of all, he wanted to ask—what did you expect would happen, trying to kick a rotting old orc-head like that? But as Yvion opened his mouth to ask the latter, a most unlikely thing happened. Someone—a someone with a short body and a strong, strident voice—spoke. “Durin’s beard‼ Ah can wait till yer done!” Birandor, whose mind was hardly prepared for the unexpected, and Yvion, whose imperturbable demeanor was more of a running joke than a dyed-in-the-thread reality, both nearly jumped out of their outfits in unison. Birandor, however, would have only been jumping out of half an outfit, and it is upon this point that the sudden dwarf was remarking.
