#blade of avernus

"You fight well...for a sorcerer."

A pastime for Wyll and Letho while in downtime is sparring. Lae'zel sometimes takes Wyll's place, but more often than not it's the two men that cross blades. All in the name of keeping their skills sharp and a tinge of competitiveness.

I tweaked Wyll's devil design a little bit, make it more planestouched. He's too human-ish in the game for him to be that sad over his transformation.

😎 Wyll, aka Shade of Frontiers, Babe of Avernus, and coolest guy in all Sword Coast.

I have been wanting to draw this for a while and I finally got to finish it ✨️

I think we can all argee. Wyll is a great but underdeveloped character. And someone else has probably already thought of this, but the problem with Wyll's story is it was used for world building not character development.

Words can not describe how infuriating I think it is that Ansur is a part of Wyll's companion mission. It literally has nothing to do with him, but it provides great world building. We learn more about Balduran, legends of Baldur's Gate, and about the Emperor. But we learn NOTHING new about Wyll.

Wyll is also used to connect and introduce new characters. Like Karlach, Mizora, Duke Ravengaurd, Florrick, Duke Stelmane, etc. He just adds a little more backstory to these characters. Besides hearing the strain on his and his father's relationship, we don't learn more about Wyll.

Compare that to Jaheira who also connects and introduces a few characters. It's the other harpers who she leads, her best friend Minsc, and her children. These add world building but let us see and understand Jaheira as a character more.

Also comparing Jaheira and Wyll's stories, Wyll is the "blade of the frontier" but it's mentioned just a bit. While we see Karlach literally fangirl of Jaheira because of the tales of Jaheira. I understand that Jaheira is from the previous games, and she's been a hero for a much longer time. But Wyll is a hero too and known well enough to have a nickname. They should have at least some books or someone at the Grove fangirling over him.

Personally, I'm not a big Warlock fan with fighting, but I love having Wyll in my party walking around/exploring because you get to learn about him and see his personality more (him and Shadowheart talking about mermaid smut, priceless). I just wish his story was more about him

The Blade of Avernus [ Wyll Ravenguard, Baldur's Gate 3 ]

I wanted to elaborate a bit more on the idea of a thriving Wyll as a ranger running the terrain of Avernus.

i still think it’s inSANE that larian made Wyll Ravenguard so PERFECT and he gets no fandom engagement

c’mon, he’s the perfect tortured hero: abandoned by his father as a teenager after growing up held to an impossible standard. set out to make a name for himself, and made a risky pact that had a devastating outcome because he was a KID and had no one to warn him away from Mizora. was lied to and manipulated and physically harmed by her, his patron, over and over and over again, and yet he clung to her because even though she was tormenting him, she gave him the ability to save others. he’s then captured, turned into the exact kind of creature he’s sworn himself to slaying TWICE, and gets dragged through decades of infernal torture in the span of a mortal minute, leaving him physically and mentally scarred.

All this, AND YET he stays good. He stays kind. He stays true. He has favorite wines and enjoys lute music and will dance with you in camp. He takes the time to teach the tieflings how to fight, knowing he’s their only chance of survival. He’s willing to embrace Karlach with open arms as a friend, despite Mizora tormenting him for every second her leaves her alive. He harnesses all the endless suffering he endures every single moment due to his pact and uses it to ceaselessly strive for good. He never compromises on his morals, even when it means he will be literally raked over the coals.

His story is so brutal and heartbreaking and lovely and he is such a strong character and we got robbed with how little screen time he was given and how little love he’s shown in the fandom.

Wyll is the best.

It makes sense to me to use a dancer reference for Wyll. He seems like a classical kind of guy
