You can't cast a shadow without some light 🌙

Really wanted to draw this silly thing between these three lmaooo

For those of you who might be confused, yes Maeth is older than Orin, he’s more than 100yo as he has an extended lifespan given the nature of his birth as a Bhaalspawn.

Also, Maeth has never been very close to Orin, and never truly cared about her despite her being around the temple most of the time and liking him (but given Maeth’s background, he cuts people off, which is part of why he didn’t build any reciprocal bond with her, rather than him hating her from the start)

Then, allow me to keep on rambling 🫡 Maeth doesn’t really like kids, they irritate him and he doesn’t know how to behave around them, and that’s because when he was a child, he never got to connect and interact with children his age, as he was always and only surrounded by adults (his former wizard family)

shart🙏🏻

[nesvann]

Out of reach

First actual durgetash artwork from me ahah, they just have an ambiguous relationship, and Maeth is simply too much of a brainwashed Bhaalist fanatic at that time, so he’s pretty much despising Gortash for being a Banite 🙄🙏🏻 but that’s okay despite their differences they still work together and learn to enjoy each other’s company with time lmao

Moment before disaster,

Astarion sure had no idea he'd end up under the rubble...

[nesvann]

I miss the sun

Something, somewhere in Act 2, when those two are clearly starting to fall for the other but can’t grasp the meaning of what they feel for each other 🫡

When the evil Durge is slowly changing, because of some vampire twink lmao

[nesvann]

!not canon!

That artwork is born from my brain going: what if evil Durge/spawn Astarion, so there you gooo 🩸

My lovely Durge sure is evil at first but he changes progressively (even tho he's far from being a good aligned character, even by the end of their journey), he would never harm Astarion in any way

Source for the text: Laurence, the First Vicar - Bloodborne (music producer's text), correct Latin translation by Antonius Tertius.

English: ''All be warned / The blood is the nectar of blasphemy / You would do well to fear the blood / Though that is all we can rely on / We believe."

I've never really talk about my Durge's backstory over here, but the puppet master / puppet imagery is very suiting for Maeth (my durge) and Bhaal's dynamic.

Attempt to summarize his backstory:

Maeth was created by Bhaal, but did not grew up at the temple, he was taken in by wizards who raised him, took care of him until the day his urges manifested for the first time and he ended up killing them without understanding why he did so, as he was still a child. During his childhood and teenage years, Maeth had to live on his own in the streets of Baldur's Gate as a petty thief. Some strangers were kind enough to offer him shelter from time to time but they'd all know the same inevitable bloody fate. Maeth felt helpless towards his urges, he grew terrified of them, of loss, of harming others. Thus he ended up isolating himself, despite the fact that all he ever wished for was to belong somewhere, to feel wanted and loved. Agonizing in his own solitude.

The thing is that, it was Bhaal who actively took everything away from him through his urges, only to break him, in order to turn him into a malleable puppet for Him to use to enact His will through. Which worked disgustingly well, as when Maeth finaly found his way to the Bhaal temple as a young adult, his mind completely broken, having nothing and no one. Maeth felt like he had finaly found his purpose, found the place where he belonged to. That's why he ended up dedicating most of his life to Bhaal, his faith blinding him entirely and this false love he was receiving from Bhaal being the poison which had intoxicated his whole heart and mind for so long. He was desperately clinging onto it, for it was the only thing he ever had, the only form of love that was granted to him. And the only one he knew his urge could never take away from him.

So basically, Maeth had no luck in his life doomed to become the puppet of a vile God, being deeply anchored in that God's scheme who orchestrated his whole miserable life, ending up absolutely indoctrinated because his mind had been shaterred by the very God he will be adoring for most of his life.

''Trapped within this web

Of crimson threads,

His love like poison coursing

Through your veins.

Your faith,

Ever blinding.

Intoxicating your very being.''

''He to the world appeared to die, but in his heart he felt divine.''

A little something of my Durge Maeth pre-nautiloid as he was a worshiper of Bhaal 💀🩸

The quote is not mine for once it comes from the song ''The Devil'' by Æther Realm which reminds me of my Durge everytime I listen to it

[nesvann]
