Get ready for a meet&greet with some of Exandria's champions!

Here's my piece for @artists-guild-of-exandria's Critical Role Land project! I sadly couldn't finish in time to post yesterday with everyone else but we got there in the end!

Hey the dynamic between the human Raven Queen and her guardian is. buck wild. And fascinating actually. Because I'm not sure Purvaan. Knows. What he is missing. (That his charge is a god???). But I think he understands it, on a deep, fundamental level. And he remains a devout champion regardless. He has dedicated his life without regret, to protect her. It was the honor of his life, even as the world crumbles. He protected her and taught her as she grew up, is confident enough in her capabilities to choose to step away. He isn't sure that he succeeded- he can still sense something missing, something she is searching for that he could never help her find.

He has devoted his life to her, and that is why he steps away- because he can recognize when he becomes a liability instead of a guardian.

It was the honor of his life, to protect her, he says. He thinks he's failed, in some fundamental way. He asks- before, I leave you. My only question. was there anything else I could have done?

He think he failed his mission, in some way. It was, still, the honor of his life. His finite, mortal life, in a world seemingly abandoned by the gods. You have to decide how to spend your life. You have to decide how to spend your death. He failed. It was an honor.

4, 14, 20 for the CR ask meme?

4. Minor character you are (correctly) obsessed with.

planerider ryn <3 shes my wife, my dearest, my favorite minor character, and the best npc matt has ever created. she's never shown up in the flesh (also halas, hes fascinating) (also purvaan suul)

14. Describe the art you would most like to create or commission if talent/money were no object.

ooh. maybe like, a fully animated chetney werewolf transformation? or like. a whole bunch of character designs for the gorgynei. i have no idea really

20. What non-D&D TTRPG would you most like to see Critical Role run a one shot in?

tbh i am not well versed in non-d&d ttrpgs. i thought the system they used in cinderbrush was really cool so it would be cool to see that again maybe?
