Golden Fields: Nature's Canvas

[verdantvisionsai]

Step into the glow of summer's embrace, where golden fields stretch towards the horizon, whispering secrets of ancient harmony. Time stands still in this serene symphony of rustling grasses and gentle breezes, inviting you to waltz with nature at the edge of a dream. Let the warmth of the setting sun kiss your skin as you lose yourself in the tranquil beauty that dances before you.

And ya know, it's funny, Sparks was never meant to be a religious character at all. Sure, part of her backstory was that both her dads were followers (one esp devout) of Chauntea, but she never felt any connection there so it wasn't relevant to the story at hand. However, with the recent discovery that her dads are missing and her desire to break her warlock pact, it only made sense. She did pray to Chauntea, cause that's all she really knew how to do, but Lliira answered and gave her a way out of a life that never felt like it was truly hers.

Does it say something about me that my two oldest D&D characters both have religious trauma, with one relating to be deprived of the faith that is so intragal to their being for a majority of their life, and the other having to do with being (somewhat) forced into practicing a religion that meant very little to them and spending a lot of time in turmoil before finding their own path? Nahhhh

Of Pumpkin Picking and Hay Rides - Chapter Eight Rating: Explicit Key Tags: Trans Astarion, Alternate Universe - Modern Dungeons & Dragons Setting, No Vampires, Hallmark Style Fic Summary:

As someone who had never been outside of the city of Baldur's Gate, Astarion didn't know what to expect when his court mandated therapist suggested taking a break from his life in the small town of Amphail. It definitely wasn't overly friendly folk, a near fanaticism when it came to the Autumn, nor the particularly cute farmer with the nice ass. Well…Perhaps that last one was more of a perk. ----------------- “Let’s go to Goldenfields. I can drive and it shouldn’t take more than thirty minutes or an hour, there’s this amazing little restaurant on an orchard with amazing reviews online and apparently these apple tarts that are to die for. I understand if it’s too last minute or if you aren’t interested, but I figure it could be a good change in pace and scenery, but you have no obligation at all an–” “Astarion, breathe.” Gale cut in firmly, shaking him into a moment of silence as he stared at the man. “Sorry. I’m being an idiot.” Astarion muttered. “Of course you’re being an idiot. You haven’t even grabbed your coat.” Gale said easily, raising an eyebrow pointedly.

Elias Blackwood

(he/him)

Class: Oathbreaker of Devotion Paladin

Race: High Half-Elf

Age: 32 years

Background: Folk Hero

Game Progression: Middle of Act 3

Elias grew up in the small village of Goldenfield, raised by his mother and father. Mama took care of the home while Papa, a cavalier, would go away on crusade. He also has one younger sister, Elora, who was born eight years after he was. After his father failed to return home from a crusade, he decided to devote his life to becoming the best paladin he possibly could. He trained for years, practicing on his dummy and fighting off monsters and fiends to keep his hometown safe, while also helping his mother raise his sister, who was only three when their father passed. When he was in his early twenties, Elias moved to Baldur’s Gate to start his career as a paladin. His first night in the city, he went to The Blushing Mermaid and met Leila, a rogue half elf. Although they were never in a relationship, he considers her to be his first love. They were in each other's lives for over ten years, even sharing a home and a bed together. One day, the two were out on a mission beyond the city limits and were attacked by a pack of gnolls. Leila lost her life in this fight, and Elias blames himself for her death. If he had just been a bit more courageous, didn’t miss his swings, then he could have saved her. Leila currently serves as his Dream Guardian, adding on to his ever-building grief after losing her.

In Act I, Elias makes a poor lapse of judgement and decided to attack a bugbear in the goblin camp. The creature wasn’t aggravated, but he thought that it would if he stayed around long enough, so he wanted to get the battle over with. Because of his actions, he broke his Oath of Devotion. The Oathbreaker Paladin paid him a visit, and gifted him Oathbreaker powers, along with a slightly altered (hotter) look.

Just outside of Rosymond Monastary, Elias (32) ran into Elora (24), who he had not seen in over ten years. They would still write letters to keep in touch, but she became worried when he stopped returning her letters. Worried for the worst, Elora set off to go find her brother and hopefully bring him back to Goldenfield, as their mother had fallen ill and needed his help. She had wanted to be just like her older brother and trained to become a strong fighter. Elora asks to join her brother's party and to help with whatever mission they are on. Elias accepts, adding her to the troupe with open arms and a strange story about how a tadpole was placed in his head. (If she could she'd probably want to romance Karlach but this page isn't about her!!!)

Over the course of his adventures, he’s had three hair styles: short and trimmed, a little loose, and all grown out

Near the middle of Act 3, Elora received a sending from a family friend that their mother has passed away. She is devastated due to the loss and takes it out on her brother, because he refused to go back home to spend her final days as a family. Elias tried to explain that his life was at risk with the tadpole and that removing it was his number one priority. Their conflict drove a wedge in their sibling relationship, and they didn’t speak for days. They finally spoke after defeating Orin the Red at the Temple of Bhaal, where it was Elora who actually knocked the changeling into the abyss below the temple. They both apologized for their cruelty towards each other, recognizing that they were the only family members they had left. Their friendship is stronger now due to all that they’ve gone through!

He is currently in a loving and devoted relationship with Shadowheart and they are so cute together that I want to cry about it. Watching them grow so much as individuals and as a couple has been adorable, and I know that post-game they spend the rest of their half-elven lives together. 🩷
