#pathfinder tabletop

Another character of mine from the Pathfinder tabletop. Also from adventure "Reign of Winter". Previously mentioned here.

Lady Bellatrix, owner of her own flying island in nowhere, chaotic evil witch who likes to amuse herself by causing trouble for my frieds-adventurers.

Rain of worms? Sure! Suddenly grow a field of stinking flowers? She loves that! Send her many subordinates (They're all called Publius) into battle against adventurers? Oh, that's her favorite thing to do.

And yes, she has a ram's horn in her hair.

There is another theme tied to rams, which I will reveal later in another art. When she was a simple witch, her only Publius (our friend) had to sacrifice a ram in exchange for her help. He was looking for a ram for her for a very long time, our friend posted pictures of rams every day for month - it was a local meme in our community later.

An episode of my friends and I going through a tabletop Pathfinder adventure called "Reign of Winter". Stasik (my husband) is the Rovagug's antipaladin, who became undead in the service of Rasputin, and the cat Attius (me) keeps an eye on him as Rovagug's agent and makes silly jokes.

It started out simple. I was just writing words randomly in a notepad I use for idea generation and story plotting. The idea was to build a bank of words that could be used for NPC's, Towns, Nations, etc... One word stuck out me and I kept going back to it. Carminia.

I don't know what it is about it that stood out to me, but I started to dwell on that word more and more often in my planing sessions, unsure of how to use it. Nothing came of it until I started building a full homebrew world.

Carminia was the starting point.

The word started out as representing the world as whole, then a nation, and then a city. Now the Carminian Imperium is just one of many nations in the new world I have built up.

All thanks to that one word.
