Yargai realizing that he missed the meet up date between he and Kheree.

Yargai wondering if Kheree waited, knowing that he probably did.

Now that it was the day of the Naadam he knew Kheree was going to be out , fighting for leadership of the Steppe. Feeling helpless that he wasn’t able to be there for him like he promised

The only words Yargai is able to get out as he becomes paralyzed and has to lay bound and helpless on the floor

Almost forgot to finish this. Yargai realized that he missed the day he and Kheree were to meet up in Reunion. Since he had been taken by the Buduga and Ganzorig kept him on a tight leash , it didn’t seem like he would ever see his beloved again.

Ganzorig leaving the iloh he says to Yargai “I'll see you after the Naadam, little Dzo. Do behave ~”

Yargai now alone is stuck with his thoughts “I can't move...I can hardly speak...l hope he dies during this Naadam...”

Yargai recalls hearing the words Nadaam one before “Wait...The Naadam?...Why does that sound so...?”

Yargai realizes that he missed meeting up with Kheree at Reunion “Wait! The Naadam ... He said it was the final day of the Tsagaan Sar? That means-!”

Ganzorig leaving Yargai to lay there all day unable to move. He realizes something important , something he promised to the most important person of his life…

Ganzorig holding Yargai’s face , he says ,” Though our role is to secure that blowhard Oronir khan, it's also an opportune time to snatch away any knocked out or lightly damaged males. Soon you'll have new Buduga brother's to share in this lovely life you were so lucky to be apart of.”

Ganzorig speaking to Yargai ,”Ganzorig Buduga Ah but don't worry my little Dzo. I am having far too much fun enjoying you to even consider taking another. Don't you feel special? Getting all my attention to yourself, selfish little thing.”

Ganzorig standing before Yargai, putting his foot on his shoulder and tilting his head up with his foot “So just sit back, be a good boy and try not to struggle. I'll have more fun with you if you're rested and have some fight in you later.”

Ganzorig kicks Yargai over “Ganzorig Buduga Let me help you ! There, that should be good enough for someone like you, right Dzo?”

More angst from Yargai’s past.
An AU that @kor-nocturne.bsky.social & @draconis-luxuria.bsky.social and myself have been working on. Collaborative emotional damage.

Ganzorig speaking to Yargai who is bound and drugged “That poison should be setting in…But don’t worry, it should pass through your system by the time we return today.”

Ganzorig standing over Yargai who is bound “Since most of the Dawn Throne will be empty today I have to make sure you don't get any ideas about running off. Not that you'd make it very far...The Steppe will be a blood bath today.”

Ganzorig kneeling in front of Yargai “Only the strong and loyal who have proven themselves are allowed to take part. The young, the old and the weak are forbidden. Since l've never seen any of your naked bretheren on the battlefield before l'm going assume you've no idea what I speak of....”

Ganzorig talking to Yargai “Ganzorig Buduga On the final day of the Tsagaan Sar any Xaela tribe with warriors who have completed the trials of Bardam's Mettle may fight for rulership of the Azim Steppe. The one who claims victory for their tribe is crowned as khagan. The khan of khans.”

Yargai’s time with the Buduga tribe had him under the thumb of his captor. Once part of the Mankhad tribe , he often would drug Yargai to keep him in line.
This is apart of an AU with @kor-nocturne.bsky.social & @draconis-luxuria.bsky.social.

Yargai mid flight after getting kicked

Kokochue kicking Yargai off the watch tower

Kokochue kicking Yargai with a powerful side kick that sent him flying

Kokochue kicking Yargai which sent him off the watch tower with a backdrop of the Azim Steppe and The Dawn Throne

Day 30: Life Changing Moment
Yargai learned a few things during this event. Don’t sneak up on a Qestir tower guard, don’t jump scare them with flirting , and Kokochue has a mean kick.

Ganbaatar looking at the statue of Nhaama

Day 24 : Deity
Ganbaatar will usually find his spot on The Dawn Throne and sit and watch his beloved Nhaama for hours. One of the only things that can soothe his savage soul

Ganbaatar holding a axe and looking fierce while he stands before the statue of Nhama, rain pouring down from the sky

The loyal mad dog will protect his his goddess, his Queen , his beloved

Yargai standing , smirking at Kokochue while he grabs Yargai’s horn

Day 11: Love
Yargai being the absolute smooth operator he is thought it would be a good idea to sneak up on a Qestir in the watchtower during their shift to flirt…. It worked …. Eventually XD. Kokochue…. Why do you put up with him?
#AuraApril #Xaela #Buduga #Qestir

Ganbaatar hugging Tseren from behind, his arms draped over the pale Xaela

Day 11: Love (2/5)
There are times where Ganbaatar meets those who he sees as Nhaama’s chosen. He follows , protects and loves them as a way to show Nhaama his love and devotion to the goddess. Even a brute like him in capable of love

Yargai as a young man sitting on a mat outside the Buduga Iloh. He sits there in shock as he has his hair cut, his body paint washed away and forced into wearing itchy uncomfortable clothes.

Day 6. Sorrow
Yargai was kidnapped from his tribe at 18. The Buduga washed away his Torgud paint, they forced him into clothing and the cut his hair. Years later once he assimilated into the tribe it grew back longer and wilder than before.

2022 Sase Tului vs 2025 Sase Tulu.

I distinctely remember changing his nose to differenciate him from another character of mine with the same kind of face. I tweaked the horns so they looked more like they do ingame, the rest just changed overtime.

Osol as a Qestir has Nerguii Buduga's arms pinned above him , against a wall while he grabs onto Nerguii's chin.

AU Tribe reversal. There's something that makes my brain go brr to see Osol as a Qestir being a sadistic tease to Nerguii as a Buduga.

Staying, raiding with the booooys~

One of life's simplest joy

Late night lizard sketch.

#sase #ffxivart #ff14 #ffxiv #xaela #aura #buduga

Sase Tului as a Nue hybrid!

Wanted to give it a bit of woodblock print feel instead of going with my usual colouring!

Still farming the Shishio mount because I think Nue are awesome.

#ffxivart #ff14 #xaela #aura #sase #buduga #arcadion

Sase has an extremely raspy voice due to years of pipe smoking, but it tends to soften a little when he talks to his pet red panda.
He's extremely vulgar when he talks to her, though.

#wolaotd #ffxivart #ff14 #xaela #sase #buduga #aura

His father.

His father is a powerful shaman, and now that he's left his tribe, Sase can't help but fear that he somehow still watches him, and that he might curse him as a punishment for leaving.

#wolaotd #sase #xaela #ffxivart #ff14 #aura #buduga

Sase Tului collects foreign swords, and he also likes drawing!

2nd and 3rd attached pics are something he sketched irp when someone tried to explain to him what an octopus was.

Shading attempt that I will never finish. :l

#sase #buduga #xaela #ffxivart #ff14 #aura

Sase sketch I did after he lost a fight to the death irp, ended up thrown in a lake, and realized that not only he had lost but he had also been spared by his enemy, something that he just couldn't understand.

Sase Tului as a Nue hybrid.

Why yes, I'm still farming the Shishio mount. :[

#ffxivart #ff14 #xaela #aura #sase #buduga

He's a very different person when he's not having fun practicing his usual hobbies with the bros.

#sase #ffxiv #ffxivart #ff14 #xaela #aura #buduga

Very angry lizard.

#sase #ffxivart #ff14 #ffxiv #xaela #aura #buduga

He was originally a villain NPC for a small campaign I was DMing in the Steppe, but ended up becoming my main after some shenanigans.

Sase Tului, a Xaela, wearing a dragon kigurumi with a long floppy tail. He's grinning in a somewhat threatening way.

Close-up on the first picture. Sase Tului, a Xaela, wearing a dragon kigurumi. He's grinning in a somewhat threatening way.

Sase Tului wearing something cute.
Don't fall for it, he's probably hiding a crapton of knives inside that kigurumi.

Took pictures based off of an AU RP I do with a friend. After Nerguii’s trial to prove his loyalty to the Buduga he is tasked with caring for an orphan he found out in the Steppe. Osol is excited and ready to help him raise little baby Olzii before Nerguii even has to ask.
