Anime style art of a massive man with red wild hair and a beard in three sharp points. He has a sharp eye in a glare, while the other is covered with a patch and bandages. He wears armor filled with scratches, and behind him flows a torn red cape. He holds a massive heavy two handed axe. Next to him it's written "Brandr" and scratched out "Knight of Wyldfire".

Full art for Brandr, Knight of Wyldfire, Monster Slayer, recently disillusioned by the oath of the knight order and their noble patrons. #Emberwrought #OCsky #LitM #viktormonart

I can't wait to start the #Emberwrought Legend in the Mist campaign. Six months hiatus for rest from burnout is hell. :D

Dragons! Strife! Vengeance! Knight! And... cool hats? Yeah, apparently so.

Obsidian screenshot that also tells me to take it easy and relax and have a treat.

Elves and Fauns Elves and fauns are an ongoing story about defiance and acceptance in the face of loss. # Before the doom Elves used to be at the top. Graceful, sardonic, some would say haughty. They went through the ages feeling the years like a soft breeze, no real care in the world beyond their indulgences. Tree of Splendour reach up to the sky and blessed them all with seemingly eternal life. Close to it anyway, they aged very slowly. Then the tree withered and turned in on itself, leaving a hollow dried stem. No leaves and no immortality. ​ The elves haven't really changed but since the Tree of Splendour turned to Sorrow, there's a gloom about them. With this the elves started to age, they didn't rejuvenate wounds the same way either. While their brethren that turned into the fauns accepted this, many of the oldest families of elves, the haughty elves, refused. ​ They did find a solution. Not a good solution, it will still fail them and have them succumb to an unnatural torpor as their body fails them. But if blood form other beings can stave off death for a few hundred years? It might be worth it. ​ Most elven families need to drink blood, but some drain people’s energy instead — there are benefits to this: no marks and you can’t kill someone directly. But they also need to feed more often and tend to be avoids as “buzzkills.” ## Fauns The fauns accepted their new lot, perhaps not with glee but at least with determination. They were not content about it but what else could they do? They left the shadow of Sorrow and travel out into the world, learning how to live with their shorter lifespans from other people.

Warren Can you call them a family? Probably. They'll gladly accept it. Warren started out as waring tribes of orcs and hobgoblins and ogres, and as the dust settled the Warren remained. Raised in litters where parenthood isn't the important bit, they got an unshakable belief in family and community. The people who only look at their warring past seem to miss the obvious: there’s a strong appreciation of culture and learning that premediates through the warren and an affinity to pick up what others have discarded and make anew. Most of the present day improvements to [[Ceramics]] have come from warren scholars and crafts masters.

I don't know when surgery is so I'm just going ahead with the
#Emberwrought campaign prep — session zero point one this Monday. Also making the startup page remind me to not overwork. #ttrpg
