#Glen McCready

[space-blue]

*heavy breathing* it's happening!

At long last!! We don't have all the stories recorded, and we're still hard at work on this project, but we now have enough back up to start posting! And that means... That we are launching the Zevlor Sleep Stories this Friday!!!

Episode #1 is ready to go!!! This is only the title card art, by the lovely @cinnasalmon ! It'll introduce every video in the series. Then past the title card, a surprise first artist aaaaanndd... My own short story!

It was the first recorded by Glen all the way back when, so I'm very hype and eager for everyone to enjoy it. Glen's reading is so great, it actually makes checking him for misspeaks/missing sentences super hard. We struggle not to fall asleep working on this project.

We will upload videos every Friday as long as we have them lined up. And very soon we'll have Omeluum too, with a delightful voice filter made by Devi.

If you're hype and want to sign up ahead of time to get the notification, here's a link to the (currently empty) channel!

Even if you don't care much for Zevlor or Omeluum, lots of the stories are fantastic DnD tales written by talent fic authors, and meant to soothe you as you fall asleep. If you're a big fan of BG3 or DnD, come and check it out!

P.S: reminder that there'll be no ads and no revenue of any kind. It's a project by fans for fans, and even Mr. McCready is a fan in this context. So don't be shy with liking and subscribing as we go on, you'll only be increasing exposure for the project <3

I requested a Cameo from Glen McCready of Zevlor accepting a romance with Tav during the celebration. I cried! I'm so happy, I also lack the words to fully express how much I love this. It fulfilled my dream of romancing Zevlor, a dream I think I share with many others here ❤️ Transcript and more thoughts below. Artwork mentioned at the end: [Home] [Lord Byron poem only]

“Hello Tav. Hello Christine. I understand you would like to hear Zevlor accepting a romance at the celebration. Well, how would that play out?

As you know I am, and have always been, through some work of fate or some curse, or some magical interference, I’ve always been unromanceable. And yet, standing before you now, in the firelight, I feel…feelings I’ve never felt. Never dared imagined I would feel. I lack the words to fully express all that is within my heart but there is a poem I’ve always loved by Lord Byron. “She walks in beauty” and for me it describes you more perfectly than I could ever dare hope. And it reads like this:

She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that’s best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes; Thus mellowed to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies. One shade the more, one ray the less, Had half impaired the nameless grace Which waves in every raven tress, Or softly lightens o’er her face; Where thoughts serenely sweet express, How pure, how dear their dwelling-place. And on that cheek, and o’er that brow, So soft, so calm, yet eloquent, The smiles that win, the tints that glow, But tell of days in goodness spent, A mind at peace with all below, A heart whose love is innocent!

Now, before my courage ups and flees, I beg you: kiss me.

How was that? It’s hard, it’s hard when the character is not romanceable but I did my best. And your artwork is stunning. Absolutely stunning. Thank you for sharing it. Take care, and remember, should you ever need it, you have family in Baldur’s Gate.”

...

I did not expect him to quote a poem at all. I love poetry, it's how I started my writing journey, and they hold a special place in my heart. This made me very emotional. I'm over the moon right now!! I have this hc where Zevlor usually doesn't verbalize what he wants. He puts everyone else above himself, and his own needs are an afterthought. So for Glen to play him as begging for a kiss from Tav? My heart is full. Overflowing with love for Zevlor and Glen for playing him so perfectly 😭❤️

I was the very very luck recipient of Glen McCready's 100th cameo! And boy did he go ALL OUT!

[finnick002]

Glen is a King

Thank you so much Glen <3 I wasn't expecting a poem too!?!?!?

[vera-king-hrfl]

Good gods, he did that so well! It is exactly how I hear it in my head. Such a sweetheart 💕 I'm melting 🫠 we're so lucky to have this man.

[imsonormalaboutzevlor]

So Glen McCready is doing some sort of sleepy thyme reading or guided meditation in the voice of Zevlor and/or Omeluum, which is EXACTLY what news I wanted to wake up to today. Wonder what he'll decide to read.

Either way, as someone who falls asleep to audiobooks and such, I think this is an absolute win.

Folks, a team of dedicated, creative and lovely people including the VA of Zevlor and Omeluum, Glen McCready, started this wonderful project and I was both brave enough to submit a story and FREAKING LUCKY enough to be accepted. I hope you enjoy it!

[space-blue]

Check out what Zevlor and Omeluum's VA is doing over on twitter!!

He's basically doing podfic... but for sleep stories/guided meditation in the POV of his characters!

Zevlor's Sleep Stories is a non-profit fan project dedicated to creating relaxing tales and guided meditations in the voices and POVs of Zevlor and Omeluum. But for that part, we need you! A volunteer team and I are now accepting art and fic submissions. I will be narrating selected fic submissions as Zevlor or Omeluum. These recordings, along with art submissions, will be posted for free on YouTube. Repurposed art and fic are welcome! This project aims to elevate fanwork and to share relaxing creations by fans, for fans. For fic, please write in 1st person, so Zev or Omeluum are speaking directly to you, the audience. 1-5k word count is required for now. Please keep the rating G to PG-13. For art, the only requirement is that it features Zev or Omeluum. The vibe should be relaxing and calming. Please email zevsleepstories at gmail dot com with your fic/art submissions, and include the name you wish to be credited by, and any social media accounts, if desired. We're using the 9th of June as our first deadline, then we'll see where we go from there! This project is run by myself and fan volunteers. Please be patient as we get things up and running. Thank you!

Glen McCready as Zevlor, reading Lord Byron's "She Walks in Beauty" and begging for a kiss.

[Full Cameo] Transcript below

She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that’s best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes; Thus mellowed to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies. One shade the more, one ray the less, Had half impaired the nameless grace Which waves in every raven tress, Or softly lightens o’er her face; Where thoughts serenely sweet express, How pure, how dear their dwelling-place. And on that cheek, and o’er that brow, So soft, so calm, yet eloquent, The smiles that win, the tints that glow, But tell of days in goodness spent, A mind at peace with all below, A heart whose love is innocent!

Now, before my courage ups and flees, I beg you: kiss me.

Zevlor's Sleep Stories # 1 - A Trip to Waterdeep

Glen's voice is soothing, I have tears in my eyes - that's not me being hyperbolic. Thank you to all the creators @cinnasalmon @ploompkin and Nor, who don't think I know. Ploompkin the art is beautiful ❤️

My fellow Zevlor lovers, (⁠ ⁠˘⁠ ⁠³⁠˘⁠) ❤️

Gooood morning and ⚠️Spoiler Alert: for Balder's Gate 3 and Descent into Avernus⚠️

I have spent a healthy amount of time trying to discern our old man's age. After listening to 'Oathsworn' by Vee and narrated by Glen McCready (beautifully written and read, major kudos, if you haven't listened go...go now: (⁠☞⁠ ⁠ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ⁠)⁠☞ Source 1 ). I now have a pretty good idea of some numbers, though this is more of a head canon than fact. But the story authors and Mr.Mcready are collectively giving us the most story we've gotten about Zevlor's early days. (⁠人⁠*⁠´⁠∀⁠｀⁠)⁠｡⁠*ﾟ⁠+

In the backstory we learn Zevlor was about 10 years old when the Hellriders, that were roped into Zariel's deal, were formed (not the OG ones she trained and who left her in the hells, rip). Zevlor goes on to talk about the 'occupation of the city' and 'the dark days,' this is referencing the time the Vampire lord took over the city. He also explains he was 2 years, too young to join at the time. (This period of time between the Vamp lords defeat and Zevlor's recruitment is tough to discern, so I went with the age given, 10.) Now, I'm not fully versed with the history of the 'Decent to Avernus' but some lovely folks on reddit brainstormed a general timeline if you'd like to take a look (Source 2).

Okay maths time, so Zariel's deal to 'aid' the city against at the Vampire lord was only meant to last 50 years (when Zevlor was 10). So when Zevlor turned 12 he joined and served about 48 of those years. Which means by the time Elturel descended he was already 60...at least. Depending on how the campaign goes it takes at least a year or two for the city to resurface and for the Teiflings refugees to make it to the grove. That means mans is in his early 60s by the time we meet him....... all that stress and he has aged ✨phenomenally✨

Please, correct me if I made any errors these are just my observations. I always assumed he was early 50s lol, like the fact he has no visible grey hairs is insane. I believe he originally had black hair too so we definitely missed out on some salt and pepper action, but the light brown suits him well. And according to the 5e Wiki (Source 3) the average lifespan of a Teifling is 90–150 years. So he's got at least 30ish years ahead of him ( T-T)💕
