First official Sima (@ritelli-main ) + Sasira post! Go girls, go!

[ktrktrtrschblog]

Nirras is a character whose original concept changed drastically, from a mysterious, silent young man who observed everything with an enigmatic look, to a sharp-tongued troublemaker, who constantly frays everyone's nerves with his outbursts and biting remarks. He's emotional, enjoys being lazy, and often complains just to find an excuse to rest and avoid unpleasant tasks. He has no grand ambitions to start a revolution, commit mass murders, change the world, or become a general— Nirras simply wants to live (though even that comes with its own complications, which will be explored in future game sessions).

He's accustomed to life in the Inquisition, to routine, duties, and restrictions, and has come up with his own "three sacred commandments for life in the Inquisition", and carefully probing for loopholes. He’s used to gossip and whispers behind his back, and he’s grown comfortable with the absence of close relationships, eventually considering it the most optimal approach. All in all, Nirras is doing fine. He’s reached the final point of that original legacy of Oviterra— and he’s just living with it. His hair started going gray a bit early, and he often doesn't bother to keep himself tidy or shave regularly, plus he's had his fill of adrenaline, and even got reprimanded for it. But he has an officer’s salary, a commemorative token, and his own name, so in the end, things aren’t too bad. Life can go on, life must go on.

Untitled Poem (From My BG3 Fanfiction -- Link At Bottom of Post)

"Wot with woe be but fair truth?

Than love from you a fairer truth?

Wot pain does sting with a slap.

Yet kindness rings with this truth.

A caress can lie, true love dost hurt.

In this solemnly, I find truth.

And in thine eyes wot glazed with tears,

I find again proof of that truth."

~ Sudiman Yn Asforda, A Calishite Poet I Made Up, Forgotten Realms

Alma of Keltar + Cleric of Ilmater

Alma is an orphaned child of a couple of refugees, little is known about her family’s past, except they were former members of a noble court (alleged) and sacrificed themselves in order to give their child a chance of survival.

She was found as a newborn by the steps of the House of The Broken God, wrapped in bloodied rags in the arms of her corpse mother, who was apparently murdered by an unknown creature, and the baby was in dire condition. She was quickly taken in and cared for by Brother Servan, who served as her tutor and caregiver.

There were many attempts to get Alma adopted by local families, but the child’s bond to Brother Servan somehow prevented that from happening. In the end, it was decided that Alma would grow under the church’s tutelage, but would be given a choice to live however she wanted when she’d reach the right age. Eventually came the day that the young girl would decide to return to society as a civilian or become a sister among the others, she picked the clergy. Alma was then appointed to perform her initiation rite, and passed without any issues, becoming an official “Adorned”.

 (It is believed that Alma was the youngest to ever go through the “Wine Initiation” in her temple).

Alma completed her basic training by the age of 17, receiving a new title as Sister Alma and picking a path for the next steps within the Ilmatari clergy. At first Sister Alma looked forward to enhancing her healing and medicine skills, a choice that was heavily influenced by Brother Servan; she then moved to Cloister of St. Ramedar, in Starspire Peninsula. In there she joined the local temple and began her years of learning and helping the locals, the years of study and practice lead her to join The Followers of the Unhindered Path, becoming a nomad agent of Ilmater.

Through her travels, Alma gained the nickname “Sister Alma The Kind” due to her humbleness and merciful attitude even towards her foes.

She's a pirate~

I feel bad for Minthara, she has a really good joke but it only works if you speak under common. Gale comes up with a really apt word for a situation, but it’s in Chondathan and has no direct translation.

[rukafais]

you ever think about how artemis went from tracking someone up to icewind dale with a brief stop back to calimport and then back to icewind dale again because drizzt's sister rolled up, and then down into the underdark

Food he's going to have a reaction to like he's been shot for the rest of his life because there's so many negative associations with it: Knucklehead trout, mushrooms, probably deep rothe

sorry still not over Wyll being more comfortable with his horns… I doubt he’ll be fully okay with them any time soon but 🥺

Barbie's Gate 3 is an amazing dress-up simulator but they dropped the ball not giving me any fur cloaks The drama of my paladin showing up to Cazador's palace or the temple of Bhaal dripped out like this

Gortash leaned back in his chair, listening to her pretty little speech about love and connection. How sweet, to cling so desperately to such sweet ideals, when in reality the world was all about hunger and desperation, what a person needed vs what someone else needed. He did not particularly care for love or the schmaltzy rubbish she was spouting.

'No, my dear, I do not care or want for love or connection, real or otherwise. Now, I'll not ask you again, go and choose the fabric or I shall just have Yenna choose it for you.'

'I can pick!' Yenna said excitedly. 'My friend, Helga, her mother is a seamstress and she showed us all the beautiful fabric she works with and she said she would teach me to sew and-'

'Yes, yes, enough Yenna. What did I say about speaking when spoken to?'

'Oh, yes, sorry Lord Gortash,' Yenna said and scurried back to the bathroom.

He smiled mockingly at Doe. 'She certainly learns faster than you do. Perhaps, when she is older, I should take her for a wife. But there's no real saying whether she'll turn into a beauty or not. And of course, she has nothing else to recommend her.'

'Don't you fucking touch her,' she snapped. Consequences be damned. I have fought so much worse, she thought. And then she thought... you stole me out of the House of Hope. Raphael, if you can hear me at all- at all- give me your strength. Tell my friends where I am. Help me. Somehow.

And then she grabbed his hand, snarled savagely and bent back his fingers in one swift motion, the snap reverberating through the room.

'Check,' she growled.

I will forever and always be pissed at WOTC for just…only allowing D&D 5e to exist on the Sword Coast.

Toril?? Faerûn?? Nope. Only Sword Coast. Only Waterdeep, Baldur’s Gate, Neverwinter, and Icewind Dale.

Wow new DnD Character dropped 👀

She’s a Calimshan Halfling and (Ex-)Shepherd. Her pet Hawk’s name is Yul.

Her story is highly inspired by The Alchemist by Coelho and came to me in a sleepless night. I’m still in the concept phase but I already love her. I wanted to play a wind based character, a halfling and a ranger for a while now and she’s all three😂

Anyway does anyone know a DnD Campaign (official or unofficial) in Calimshan or Damara? I don’t want to make up everything by myself 🥲

[ktrktrtrschblog]

"And now just imagine… I’m an ancient, evil god, who comes to you like this. What will you do, my dear?"

Our last dnd session in Calimshan. There seems to be some tension between these two… What do you think, my lovely dudes?

[[ can't stop thinking about how volo only ever wanted to just Know Everything and now they're the gods' favorite undying comic relief ]]

New Alma of Keltar Design! I think I'm finally getting where I wanted with this character ;.;

[athalantan]

I'm fighting the urge to fancast El's entire family (I enjoy fancasting too much), but the timeline of their uncle's births is wild. Queen Syndrel had to have been having at least one baby per year — and still found time to lead King Uthgrael's stag hunts??? Anyway she and Uthgrael were probably in their fifties when they died. That family bit the dust young.

Our reference point is that Belaur, the oldest of their 7 sons, was 29 in 224 DR. The birth order of the princes is: Belaur, Elthaun, Cauln, Elthryn, Othglas, Felodar, and Nrymm. We don't know when Syndrel died, but it was shortly after Nrymm was born; he was raised by the women of the court and likely hadn't set foot outside Athalgard by the time Uthgrael died. Speaking of which, Uthgrael died battling orcs in 216. So the timeline is like —

195 — Belaur born

196 — Elthaun born

197 — Cauln born

198 — Elthryn born (this would make him 14 when Elminster was born)

199 — Othglas born

200 — Felodar born [date of death unknown; left Athalantar "years" before Uthgrael's death; thought to be in Calimshin in 224]

201 — Nrymm born; Syndrel dies shortly thereafter

216 — Uthgrael dies; the Warring Princes of Athalantar begin their fight for the throne

[Cauln killed in a spellduel sometime in this period]

218 — Belaur officially lays claim to the throne; Elthaun hunted down in Calimshan later that year; Othglas likely slain in Dalniir (it was at least after this point)

220 — Nrymm disappears, presumed a hostage of the mage-lords or dead

224 — Elthryn slain in the attack on Heldon

240 — Belaur slain by Elminster
