What is Tethern’s favorite punk band

OMG AN ASK ABOUT ONE OF MY OCS OMG OMG OMG

Okay SO. Tethren obviously is from a fantasy world so the punks bands *we* know dont exist. BUT if he existed here, he would LOVE The Ramones because their songs are *bops*, but aside from that he would also like Social Distortion and Misfits a whole bunch

What’s the Druid’s favorite food?

He doesn’t have a favorite food. He appreciates all of it. Also, he does eat meat! Animals in the wild eat meat. Circle of life kind of thing. Every time he eats meat he thanks his meal for giving him energy and life and that its death won’t be in vain.

I keep spamming you with asks so no rush to answer, but - do you have any headcanons on what food would've been common in Nargothrond? Do you already have a post on it and I somehow failed to find it? --tolkien-feels

I love asks like this because I love doing research on botany and climate and stuff to determine what food would be available to grow, hunt, gather, etc and what would have to be traded for and how and where, etc. Anyways we all already know that. I’m just trying to give more reason to keep sending me this stuff :)

@tolkien-feels 

Food in Doriath I also included here a comparison with Doriath

OK so I have some thoughts and notes on the environment of Western Beleriand here and I’ve pulled from that a lot. It also has some shorter headcanons on food there! 

Nargothrond is a system of caves underneath a series of forested hills called the Taur en Foreth or Forest of Hunters in Western Beleriand. The river Narog runs just East of the caverns, cutting through the Taur-en-Foreth. The Realm of Nargothrond also encompasses the Talath Dirnen or Guarded Plain to the North of the caverns. This was a plain fortified with elvenmade hills including the most prominent, Amon Ethir or the Hill of Spies. 

Most food in Nargothrond obviously comes from beyond the caves. Especially during the construction of the city, hunting and gathering were the most common sources of food with Finrod’s dwarven allies also contributing. I personally headcanon that many forms of food preservation were taught to Finrod by the Dwarves of the Ered Luin including candied fruits and salted meats. Candied fruits became a favored delicacy in Nargothrond, usually wild cherry. 

Deer, elk, birds such as pheasants, grouse, and quail are the most frequent game. Trout, specifically freshwater brown trout are caught south of the doors of Nargothrond. There are...stranger creatures in the Nan Tethren and to the North but these...should not be caught or eaten. 

Daylilies, wild fennel, wild carrots, crosne, parsley (leaves and roots), dandelions (leaves and roots), and wild parsnips are gathered in the hills and forests and sometimes cooked with herbs such dill, summer savory, sage, and other herbs and spices received through trade with both dwarven and elven allies.  Salt and pepper were largely traded from by the dwarves of Ered Luin though there were some salt deposits in Western Beleriand. (In some parts of  Ossiriand and in Nevrast for example there were warmer regions some otherwise tropical herbs could be grown and cultivated. Over the Ered Luin elves, men and dwarves also cultivated these plants). 

Honey was later introduced through trade with Hithlum

As I mentioned on my previous post, once Nargothrond was built, there was a period of time that allowed for some farming and agriculture though hunting and gathering remained an important source of food. Formal gardens were rare, rather, experimentation and cultivation of existing plants and sometimes animals were more often utilized. Mushrooms and root vegetables were some of the more common flora

Rye grasses (not to be confused with ryegrasses) were nourished in the outer Southern reaches of the Talath Dirnen where there was more protection and small, hard loaves of bread became a staple, often eaten with jam from orchard fruits. The Rye seeds were gifts from elves East of Nargothrond closer to Ossiriand as part of a trade beginning. 

Water plants such as pennywort and watercress were also eaten both fresh and dried. 

Mountain sheep and goats produced milk that was collected by both dwarves and elves in the Eastern parts of Beleriand and East of the Ered Luin. I headcanon for example that Bëor’s folk had goats that they traded from the elves of Ossiriand during their brief stay there that they would take Northwest.  Thus, while cows milk was almost never eaten inside Nargothrond or surrounding realms, there was a small population of goat and sheep in the nearby forests and hills. These were loosely tended to and were not considered a staple. Cheese making was an art practiced by a few talented innovators of both elven and dwarven peoples. 

Differences to Doriath: There was definitely more meat eaten by the elves of Nargothrond, less of a variety of fruits and other plants and more hardy staples. Seasonings tended to be spicier rather than herbal though there was some of both. Salt was somewhat more common and trade was more expansive.

Similarities include some similarities in vegetables

I hope this is ok! Feel free to ask more!

   what if Voronwe was the only person on his doomed ship that couldn’t swim, wouldn’t that be hilarious

   alternatively none of them could and Turgon needs to rethink his hiring practices    

thelioninmybed replied to your post:                   @ncfan-1 replied to your post “Eärendel was...                

   (I know lots of premodern sailors couldn’t swim BUT we just spent so long talking about how elves have thousands of years to master skills come ON guys)    

awwwww that’s so cute.....actually now that you reminded me and i’m thinking it over again, maybe it does make sense for voronwe because he was a very young elf....though that’s probably STILL PRETTY OLD....

burning desire for revenge. but also satisfaction every single time she sees the tide recede. gotta take the small victories.

Okay fellow dnd nerds, I need help making a disabled character to play cause Im struggling with combat mechanics

So, my guy’s name is Tethren, but goes by Trip. Hes a teifling who has a muscle issue (undecided what yet) that makes it hard for him to walk and stand for long periods of time without assistance. So he uses arm crutches to help. Hes a level one sorcerer (divine soul origin) from a noble background.

My question: how would you go about including the arm crutches in combat? Should I just give them quarter staff stats? Something else? For combat, sessions, would it make more sense for him to put his crutches away and use a different weapon if he has the energy? Or should I focus on ranged combat for him instead and just hope he doesnt have to get too close to any enemies?

I just dont want to give him some magical out from his disability. I want that to be something that is fully incorporated into his character, not just a side note.

HELLO!

Name: Tethren Naïlo (he/him)

Race: Tiefling (human parents)

Age: 24

Class: Sorcerer

Background: Noble

*Backstory/Intro under the cut*

ASKS ARE WELCOMED!!!!! (I love answering questions!!)

My name is Tethren Naïlo, the son of Duke Alek Naïlo and next in line to rule over the dukedom. Our family has been hailed for generations due to our service and loyalty to region.

The nobility of my country arent very fond of me, including most of my own family, due to… well, my differences. Its hard to fit in when you have red skin, horns, a tail, crutches, and magic. But thats okay, I’ve found friendship with the outcasts of society here in the dukedom. They understand what its like to be the black sheep, and I understand what its like to not be wanted or welcomed. So I use my position of power to be a voice for the voiceless and advocate for the disadvantaged.

When Im home, most of my spare time is dedicated to studying, be it law or magic. Though of course, my magic comes with a cost. The more I use it, the more my legs suffer. On good days, I dont need my crutches at all, but other times, I can barely move without them. My crutches can also be an asset though! They’ve proven to turn me into a great mountain climber when my legs are functioning!

But despite the toll taken on my body when I use my powers, Im determined to master them. Really I must if I want to protect my claim to the title. Truth be told, I dont even want to be the duke. But I cant risk letting one of my more… nefarious relatives taking over. It would be catastrophic for both our family’s name and the people of the dukedom.

Soooo... I seem to be slowly designing all the clothing/armor of our Mad Mage characters. First Elrune, then Tethren, and now we’re onto the third!

This is Ometra Cautery, a draconic sorcerer / hexblade, half elf. Played by @rolytic over on @midgardia he already seems fun. I’m expecting him to turn out to be a real shit lord, and so far my expectations are being met, but hey! He’s helped me with mapping this dungeon so I’m not going to complain too much.

[percivalking]

Almost done with Tethren for a con coming up. I just need to finish his horns and order a few more small things.

[dnd-homebrew5e]

How did your firbolg druid met his husband ? (I live for D&D PC-NPC romance ahah) What does he like to do as hobbies, if he has any ? Is he the kind to like being in groups/with friends all the time, or does he prefer to be on his own ?

Well, his husband who is named Milo, is a Sorcerer with a really successful magic shop in a town. When Tethren went to this town for the first time he asked Milo for directions. It was the first time in a long time someone didn’t recognize him and it was nice. He became his tour guide and Milo invited him to dinner. Tethren didn’t realize Milo was interested in him till their 3rd date when he kissed him. He just went with it.

(Already answered about hobbies)

He prefers to be in groups or with friends, but he does not mind being on his own. Definitely prefers the company of others, but he enjoys alone time to sit in nature, appreciate it, and meditate.
