The Bravest of All

Pathfinder: Kingmaker

CW: post-game events

Characters: Linzi & the Baroness Queen

A.N: I was thinking about write this one after THAT unfortunated event in the House of the Edge of Time. I think that I will never get over it (as so Andrine *sobbing*)

A bored reader walked into the public library. They already read (and re-read) all their favorite epic adventures. Rummaging through the corridors, they found a metal plate fixed on a bookcase: History of the River Kingdoms. They gave it a chance and proceeded to check the titles.

Then, between many decorated spines, one caught their eyes; a red book with golden letters.

“The Rise of the Kingdom of Solovey, Linzi the Bravest,” they read out loud, tilting their head. The reader took the copy, feeling the velvet cover. The pages were yellowish, but the ink was still neat.

On one of the first pages, there was a preface with the title To the Bravest of All. And the next words were from the Solovey’s first queen herself:

Everyone who was born in the old Stolen Lands knows better: sooner or later, you will lose. And I was one of them; since I was a child, I learnt that these lands are full of mysteries and sometimes you get a heartache at a very young age. But also I learnt that here doesn’t exhale only doom, but hope, bravery, faith, love, and many other virtues.

That night at Jamandi Aldori’s mansion changed my life forever. Not only because we suffered treason, and many people lost their lives around us, but because you were there with me, Linzi. I was minding my business, and then you appeared, offering to be my minstrel, and asking me to be your muse. At first I thought that was very amusing and I agreed with you because you were so energetic and full of good ideas and intentions. I would never forget your little eyes sparkling with eagerness. We were young and about to go on an adventure in the Stolen Lands!

 You were by my side every moment. When we defeated the Stag Lord, when we laid the first stone of the barony, when you made me publicly swear to protect the kingdom at the Coronation, even when we went after your printer!

Not everything was fun and games, though. We lived in dark chapters, but like you used to say, all heroes have their moments of doubt. And we had. But also we held on to each other and waited until the storm was gone, humming merry songs or just crying on each other’s shoulder. Both were good.

Bandits, trolls, beasts, cultists, fey folks, ghosts. We went through so many things, always overcoming them. We began to feel above any evil. And then they took you away from me. It was like being stabbed and felt someone twisting the knife.

There is not a single day that I don’t mourn your death. I wished that the things were different, that we could do anything to counter the fate, but it was useless.

Everyone who was born in the old Stolen Lands knows better: sooner or later, you will lose.

You were the bravest of all the kingdom, my friend. The one who stood for their beliefs until the end. When the readers flip our pages, they will know that you were worth it. You are worth it, since your work will live until the day the sun devours Golarion.

Who is remembered will be never forgotten. That’s why I nominated you Linzi, the Bravest Bard, the Enchanter of Crowds, the Fleet-Feet, and Queen Andrine’s Sparrow. They would never forget any of us – and that’s my decree.

Although it didn't wind up finished until over a week after the date, happy belated Sunwrought Festival! This is something of a more joyful follow up to my 2022 art- something I'd wanted to do last year but didn't have the capacity for due to life circumstances. I hope everyone enjoyed their solstice!

(some of the process stuff under the cut.)

Springmaker 2023

Time for KM! I haven't finished the last year's challenge (or even half done), but I have so many quick km illustrations that I love. Finally got a reason to draw my baroness - a half-elf druid Essa. When I made an oc for the game I honestly didn't know that (female) protagonist will be called baroness. Well... Pros: when someone on capital's square shouts 'Baroness-a!!' I can hear her name. That's a cool emersion, xD.

Funny story. When we made this challenge, we thought about our main platform, and it's vk. That is, a russian-speaking platform. And before choosing name, no one thought to check if tag used by someone else on other social media... OF COURSE there is people who make springs and find it important to share! With all respect to spring makers's craft. Lol. Here's a prompt list. (I was taking part in designing it of which I really proud) Sorry this happened to the tag, if someone wants to parcicipate now it's best to use anouther one, #pfspringmaker for instance/// P.S. As an insider I can share that this spring our guys from Ask will be making another challenge, all pathfinder related this time and, well, I'll of course post details later.

Pathfinder: Kingmaker | Linzi

“I didn’t want you dead. Honestly, I didn’t. But if the truth of your deeds brought this fate on you, is that my fault?” Linzi closes her eyes. “…No. No excuses. Your blood is on my hands, and I will never forget this. But…

Now that I know the power of my weapon, I won’t lay it down. I’ll tell the truth, even if it eventually kills me too.” Linzi looks away from the Academy and Alondi’s corpse. “I think I finally graduated today.”

@ owlcat who designed rabbits from the stuff of nightmares in the stolen lands i just wanna talk-

The Misadventures of a Baleful Polymorph'd King......

Vio was the sparkliest, most buffed dog in the Stolen Lands for a while. I just had to draw him with the party I was using when it happened, + @outeremissary's Balthazar since the trio live in our heads rentfree.

Probably should've gotten someone with an STR modifier to hold Vio when they finally were able to dispel it.

Happy Crystalhue, gamers! It's a little late, as usual, but I hope everyone spent the solstice well. I failed in my goal to keep this really small and simple so I could squeeze Candlemark in on the side, whoops

Me nonchalantly walking out of the Owlcat offices: "Anyway, y'all have a good one."
