#larat

So this is two of the deities from the pantheon I made for a DnD campaign.

(This is the actual height dif, and I’m kinda sad I didnt get it across in the rendered piece)

The shorter one is Mahaviel, deity of the stars and their giant wife is Larat, deity of the seas. They are so so so married and do have two children (The Rivers and Storms) I designed Larat to have loose, flowy clothes, because she’s seen in the water generally and it would look neat in that sort of environment. Aside from that, Larat is the sort of Deity who doesnt particularly care for mortals, simply seeing them as pests who pollute her waters and are not thankful for the bounties the seas provide.

She once cursed a whole town to become were-crabs because they were disrespectful.

But she adores her family and would do anything for them, even work together with a small team of adventurers by giving them her blessings.

Last person to change her life 180 degrees is Florence, an angel banished from Heaven after the uprising she caused. Bond to Rudkowskis family, she comes to Vermillion to play the role of Sydney and Merah's bodyguard. And falls for golden eyes, toned body, confidence and irony of Larat head over heels.

Very soon they land in bed, but what Larat treats as a one night stand happens again. And again. Larat tries to convince herself, that this is just like any other time in the past - Flo will soon be gone, and either way, they cannot become a couple, because the soldier must be ready to die at any moment. Leaving the angel behind, alone, hearbroken is an absolute no-no.

Life comes to the rescue in this predicament, and seeing both of them suffering, she offers to make Larat stronger and basically immortal by turning her into a demon. The process is a bit uncomfortable and Larat still is getting used to her new, stronger body with some shape-shifting abilities.

They are since together, with ups and downs, but they have a very important bone to pick. As Larat sees nothing more important than the country she serves and vowed to protect (together with Setia and his plans), Florence hates being always put second, and to a thing she deems irrelevant to that (she has seen many countries being born and collapsing as an angel).

Larat is often torn between her love and loyalty, for example when both her and Flo are deemed traitors. She is ready to be publicly humiliated in the Cleansing ritual by Shadow, just to take the blame off her partner. Her dream now, after finishing the business in Vermillion, is to go on an early retirement and move to Ireland with Flo. Over there she wants to help train an elite team of monster hunters.

In the meantime, she has to outsmart the queen and princess Jen (the second battle she always loses), learn more about her new body situation and make sure none of her loved ones suffer in the process (which… very hard for Setia). Will be hard to squeeze all that, and learning how to use less sarcasm and irony, into her busy work-out schedule and shifts in the palace.
