Aromina Yasgon, Speaker of the Heart

..She’s my favorite cause guess who appears in another game where I present as a player… (Spore War aka adventure when now elves have main spotlight in troubles with the demons) So, of course, I had to try hard on her portrait) In general, here she is about 10 years younger than the events of the Spore War, so that is also why I decided to draw new picture, and not take a picture from the Spore War. This portrait shows almost no signs of the noble aging of her official portrait, although I still decided to add a couple of strands of gray hair. Life in Nirmathas is difficult, and this girl has seen and dealt with a lot of hardship… Although despite that. According to the description from the book: she's a bard/aristocrat and holds the title of Voice of the Heart, so I naturally see her as the council's chief diplomat and the softest person. But for the sake of her people, she's no stranger to intrigue and when necessary is determined to get what she wants. Another fact: in the old pathfinder canon, she's a half-elf, but when appearing in Spore War she's a human. So that's why I still decided to draw her as a human. At the bottom of my mind there's a headcanon that's she's a 1/4 or something partly elf, but I'm not sure about that...

Man with a surprise... (as you can see) In canon, he's a chaotic good male human aristocrat (by the way, "aristocrat" doesn't really mean anything, it's just a class for npcs in pathfinder) and other than that, there's zero information. So, with this zero information, I decided to come up with a completely chaotic biography and change the canon. I admit, I was heavily inspired by outside sources. (Essentially, his appearance - Neeshka combined with a druid girl from the D&D movie… Don't beat me up, lol, I just really like red-haired tieflings and somehow decided that I needed one in the Tamran government.) So, the concept is this: Maislen is a former druid who "broke his oath" (he was kicked out of his class due to changing his alignment from neutral to chaotic), but he's not discouraged and regrets nothing, and now he has found himself in the position of mediator between druids and people. And yes, he's hiddenly a tiefling. His colleagues know about that and accept him, but to avoid the regular shock you can expect when meeting a tiefling, he usually hides his horns. As one of my players said: "This man doesn't take off his hat indoors." 😈
