[Image description: First is an illustration of Starseer Therion, Runelord Alfyn, Warmaster H’aanit, and Sorcerer Ophilia, with some outfit details differing from canon. For example, Therion’s dress, cap, and armor are colored silver and white. He wields a wavy blue dagger and smiles widely, with tears dripping down his cheek. His left eye shows through his hair, oozing black with a blue, star-shaped pupil. Alfyn’s outfit is predominately teal with darker, flourishing embroidery, and he wears a gold circlet with wings sprouting from the sides. He wields a golden axe and sticks out his pointer fingers with a confident grin. H’aanit’s outfit is predominately dark magenta, and she wears silver sword-shaped earrings, two gold rings on a necklace, and a thick white rope around her waist. She wields a bow with a snapped string in one hand and a polearm in the other, and has a determined glare on her face. Ophilia wears a long, indigo mantle with cream lining and flourishing orange embroidery, a black dress with red highlights, and a bronze belt with a violet jewel. She also wears a long cream headscarf, pinned into place by a violet jewel, and a red underscarf. She wields her staff and smirks with half-lidded eyes.

Second is a sketched comic. Alfyn and Therion sit together, drinking at a tavern. While Therion is sipping from his cup, Alfyn holds his own cup aloft with a grin and says, “Honestly, I’ve never much been able to connect with my patron god... I mean, Dohter? I hardly KNOW ’er!” Therion, just barely smiling, goes, “...Heh...” His smile widens a bit and he brings his other hand up as if to cover it, going, “Heehee...” Finally, he’s overtaken by a full laugh: “WAHAHAHA!!” Alfyn, dumbstruck and flushed, thinks to himself (in all caps), “He laughed? At such a stupid joke?! And he’s... CUTE?!?” Therion, having calmed down, sips his drink again and thinks sheepishly, “...What’s gotten into me?” Alfyn trembles and clutches at his chest with a wobbly, blushing smile, thinking, “The HELLS has gotten into me?!” H’aanit looks awkwardly at the table with a bead of sweat on her cheek and thinks, “What in the name of... N-nay, I shan’t say it...” Ophilia looks down at her glass of water with a demure smile and thinks, “What in the holy, lofty, FUCKING name of Aelfric—blessed be he, and may his Sacred Flame burn eternally!—has gotten into those two”

Last is a doodle of Therion walking off with his fist clenched in anger. He says, “I swear, scholars have to be some of the most PIGHEADED—” He cuts himself off as he’s suddenly poofed into a scholar outfit. Sweating, he says (in all caps), “Wh—Alephan?! Listen I didn’t mean it ok!” Beneath that is a doodled chart of the relationships between Therion, Alfyn, H’aanit, and Ophilia. Alfyn toward Therion: “t4t bi4bi.” Toward H’aanit: “admires her knowledge and harmony with nature.” Toward Ophilia: “lil sis.” Therion toward Alfyn: “t4t bi4bi repressed edition.” Toward H’aanit: “coolest person he’s ever met.” Toward Ophilia: “nun.” Ophilia toward Alfyn: “big bro.” Toward Therion: “big bro’s annoying bestie.” Toward H’aanit: “baby lesbian crush.” H’aanit toward Therion: “like a housecat.” Toward Alfyn: “like a lynx.” Toward Ophilia: “like a snow leopard cub.” End image description.]
