Who do you think would be dominant in bed? Astarion or Zevlor? Or would they be switches?

Astarion at first in the relationship because he needs control, but once he is comfortable and feeling 100% safe with Zevlor, he becomes submissive. Zevlor is a soft dom who enjoys lavishing him with praise and spoiling him. They do switch on some occasions when Zevlor needs to let go. Also Zevlor finds Astarion's batty dom persona very erotic lol

Astarion lashing out, tho that dialogue option is pretty cruel if you know his backstory

Hellblood Confederacy

The Hellblood Confederacy is much older than most non-historians of Loam might be aware and part of this is that it is a nation that has endured several name changes throughout its history.  In the beginning, the nation was formed as a sort of peace dialogue between the races of northern Hezariot, being the Bugbear, Foremoles, and Ekimmatu.  This alliance was called the Lasombra Blood Clave and formed early in the Third Age, and only the Shinobi stood in defiance of this, although the reasons are unclear.  This nation engaged in many conflicts throughout the Third and Fourth age, fighting both the Ashen Sultanate in the south successfully and the Soyombo Tribes in the North unsuccessfully until said power was instead trounced by the Baelfire Concord and they merged with the Blood Clave.  After this however, the Clave made several profound discoveries in the middle of the fourth age.  When the Purgatorians joined with them, they began to decipher small parts of the Voynich, one of the Mythicos Scripture which was unique in that it not only had lost direct translation but seemingly never had any historical record of one whatsoever.  They also uncovered portals within the deepest earth that connected with the plane of the Abyss.  This discovery however, led to war with Heaven’s Reich in the end of the fourth age as said group believed only themselves as wise enough to properly interact with these lands and pointed to certain corruptions of the flesh and mind in Hezariot as proof of the fowled blood their from the Abyss.  The Blood Clave did not seal the portals however and doubled down in pride at the accusations, relabeling themselves as the Hellbloods, just as the Reich called them.  While the Reich succeeded in destroying many of the portals in the war, the Hellbloods were otherwise largely victorious.  Recently, the civil war in Hezariot has led to the newest name of the Hellblood Confederacy.  The patron Mythic of the Confederacy is the Tarrasque.  The power is deeply romantic and free in its approach to love and sexuality but it has a history of slavery that persists up into the current times.  In brief on culture, the Hellblood Confederacy uses a mixture of French culture (specifically in the revolutionary time periods) and the American West with some influences of Gothic Medieval elements.

❝ paradise waits only for the lonely, the escapist, and the brave ❞ { @shdwtouch }

He'd raise his glass to that, "Hear hear! And aren't we all just a little bit of each?"

That was something he found himself often wondering in the dead of night, though. He had been told growing up that tiefling were hellbloods, often damned from birth. And he had recklessly sold his own soul.

Where would he go when he died?

At first, Faustine sincerely tried to be detached. It's none of her business how Lae'zel interrogates, even if her victim is a fellow-hellblood. They just need information and as soon as possible. But Faustine's eyes kept gliding over the exhausted face of Zorru, traumatized and humiliated, who continued to be traumatized and humiliated… As a result, Faustine could not stand it. She stepped in. She showed her superiority in the group. Boldly hinted at who is the real leader here. Lae'zel wasn't impressed, but she had the good sense not to butt heads over nonsense in front of everyone. The information has been received. Almost no one was hurt. Shadowheart's eyes shone with self-satisfaction.

Chapter 6 of Contractum ad Solis et Carnis is out now!

Finally, Chapter six: Mens rea from Contractum ad Solis et Carnis is out on AO3 now!

Chapter summary: Raphael summons Astarion to his House of Hope as agreed, but the setting isn't what Astarion had expected and his anger leads him to do something he never imagined himself capable of. Chapter specific tags: Non-con, slapping, domination Draft: “Astarion!” He threw his hands out in a welcoming gesture. “How kind of you to join me. I was just sitting down for a luncheon. Though I suppose for your own circadian schedule it would be a midnight soiree.”

Astarion collected himself. He was here for a purpose, he knew it. So why had the devil summoned him to his dining hall and not his bedroom, or at least his boudoir? Raphael’s choice of dress called for a more intimate setting. He bit the inside of his cheek, drawing blood to focus his mind.

“I would usually be at rest at this hour, yes.” He couldn’t make sense of the devil’s intentions. But he supposed that wasn’t new and steeled himself for Raphael’s approach. But the devil stopped by the chair in front of Astarion and pulled it out gracefully, indicating with an open hand for Astarion to sit down.

“If you please.” He said, looking up at Astarion through dark eyelashes, eyes gleaming. His smile did however seem to reach them this time and Astarion took a tentative step forward, feeling the warmth radiating from Raphael’s skin as he pushed the seat in under Astarion as he sat down. No touch was exchanged, no attempt at bodily contact made. Astarion felt his shoulders relax somewhat as Raphael strode back to his seat, putting a comfortable distance between them. The devil sat down, and swept a strand of hair back over the other dark locks. It almost looked wet, as if Raphael had just bathed. Perhaps that explained the robe.

------------------------------------------------

Finally, after exactly one month, I am back with a new chapter on this series. It's the longest - and, in my opinion- the best one yet. I really hope people will enjoy it, it was heavy and fun to write.

[jellyfitzjelly]

Here's another hellblood idea! Just Astarion absolutely loves it when Zevlor's tail is wrapped around him in any form in private that Astarion would pout if it's not & personally take his tail to wrap around him! Please share your thoughts 🥺

Awwww 🥺 Astarion likes the heat emanating from Zevlor's tail, so he always wants it wrapped around him! Zevlor loves to indulge him hehe

The Ashen Sultanate

The Ashen Sultanate is the most ancient power in all of Loam, situated in the continent of Qasidra, and has existed since the 1st age.  Only the Kingdom of the Ankh and the Chimeric Expanse matched its power in this time, and both crumbled at the turn of the 3rd age’s end.  Its patron Mythic is the Roc, an immense bird of prey wreathed in the currents of time and ashes.  The nation has used the time-bound ashes to consistently skirt the consequences of time and gain knowledge necessary to persist.  While it may follow to think that the Sultanate survived through conquest, it actually survived largely by playing close to the chest.  Unlike many empires, even those that have survived nearly as long, the Sultanate has only ever become embroiled in one major conflict in all of the time it has existed.  This was with the Lasombra Blood Clave, now known as the Hellblood Confederacy, for the southern lands of Hezariot in the 3rd age, and the Sultanate largely lost that war.  Though the Adepts were believed to have arisen out of the Chimeric Expanse, it was the Ashen Sultanate who gained greatest command over them and enhanced the craft through to the modern day, with their famous Valurblimp dominating the sky, with ramps and rooms built within their bodies and organs.  As the oldest empire, the Ashen Sultanate is the only power to have existed during the writing of the Scripture of the Mythicos.  The Sultanate is fairly technologically advanced, utilizing steam in the production of much of its craft.  The Ashen Sultanate is known to be incredibly celebratory of differences in ability but has reductive status of woman with its common use of harems.  In brief on culture, the Ashen Sultanate uses a mixture of Middle Eastern and Native Indigenous culture with elements of Steampunk.

Lasombra Ascendancy

The other end of the Hezariot civil war is the Lasombra Ascendancy.  Both it and the Confederacy largely divulge from the Hellbloods but due to the vastness of the territory these powers had control over, they are still deeply culturally different.  The revolution came after the vast difference of classism that began to persist between the Ascendancy and the Confederacy.  When the hierarchy of the Hellbloods began to engage in the rituals of the local indigenous cultures that lived in the towers at the spine of Hezariot, they grew alienated from the scattered villages throughout the continent and began to build their own separate foundation beneath the surface of the earth.  Many other now fallen empires left their mark within the nobility of the Lasombra Ascendancy, which gave it the edge over those it controlled.  The Lasombra Ascendancy is also known to be deeply engaged with vampirism and necromantic practices they have drawn out from psionic crystals and the flesh of the Delgeth, which is the Mythic that they claim as their patron.  They in fact are the only of the cultures to have ‘captured’ their Mythic, strung it between two of the great carved towers.  The Lasombra Ascendancy is also where many feminist and gender empowerment movements have taken root.  While arguable, the discovery of the Abyss and the beginning of the deciphering of the Voynich is more credited to them than the Confederacy.  In brief on culture, the Lasombra Ascendancy draws from a mixture of Gothic Romanian and Pueblo culture with the idea of an underground culture in mind.

The name of every single comic book character created in the ‘90s was variant of this word.
