Something of a friendship with Queve. In that he's the only person who shows any interest in how her day/week was and notices if she is injured (hates the feeling of her magic so doesn't heal herself unless absolutely necessary). Doesn't feel as though she can afford to care about anyone else. (Would throw hands no matter how much she hates her magic if she catches him being whumped)

Goes by Rhylin

Divination Wizard, Level 11

Formerly a daughter of house Eilsani in another city. Left when he saw the future and saw that House Eilsani would fall. Went to Menzoberranzan to start a new life.

His official backstory is that he is the second son of House Eilsani, living in the shadow of his older brother, the house wizard. (Technically true, he was a wizard but he wasn't considered a son)

Uses the spell alter self to change his sex when he needs to sleep with Talfryn (only happens for procreation because Talfryn is a lesbian and he wants to be as far away from her as possible because she is abusive).

Cheats on Talfryn regularly because if he's going to live in fear of execution and torture, then he may as well have done something to deserve it. (Uses the spell for that as well)

Wears the fluffy undercoat because it's comfy and hides his figure.

Looking for a spell to transition permanently (Some Level 9 spells might do the trick) so he doesn't have to live with the constant fear of being discovered and executed for heresy.

Goes to the Zurkhwood Shadow in search of hookups. Lyn'Vic hates his guts because Lyn'Vic also wants to hook up with people. Kelriina knows who he is and is worried he will put her in danger. He has no idea who she is.

Ereldril has a crush on him. Does not feel the same way about her at this point, but is trying to recruit her into helping him escape to the surface/the upper parts of the underdark/anywhere that doesn't have lolthian drow.

Has befriended Queve and has suspicions regarding his heritage. Hopes to use that to coax or coerce him into helping him escape. Queve is aware of this because he may be uneducated but he isn't stupid. However, Rhylin is the nicest person he's met so far and has no bad intentions for once they escape, so he doesn't do anything about it (Similar to his dynamic with Spirral, but not abusive). Not interested in leaving with him though, because he doesn't feel as though he deserves better.

Spirral is onto him. Rhylin is aware of this but willing to take the risk.

168cm (5'6), Age 153

Alone (The Zurkhwood Shadow)

CW: Suicidal thoughts, Child abuse, Magical Whumpee + Whumpers. Beatings. Arachnophobia. Religious trauma. Implied multiple whumpers.

Once the others were gone, Luamice gingerly picked herself up off the bloodstained floor. She had barely sat up when her arm gave way and she slumped back down to the floor. Damn the poison! After the beating she had received, she was surprised that she was still conscious. Gritting her teeth despite her aching jaw, Luamice dragged herself to the nearest wall. She started to heal herself, resenting the crawling sensation of Lady Lolth’s magic. It was a gift, she knew, for a person as low ranking as herself to wield this power, to be a priestess. She could feel the poison wearing off, feel bones knitting back together. She hated it. Luamice wished she hadn’t bled so damn much. Cleaning this would be a nightmare. For a wizard, it would be easy. Not for the first time, she shakily left the chapel in search of cleaning supplies. She knew where they were, of course. She hadn’t hit her head, after all.

Luamice cursed the day she had caught the first priestess’ attention. Her mother had dragged her over when Luamice had made the mistake of healing her. It hadn’t been the first time she had used magic. She had been able to draw the life from people with but a touch. Back then, she hadn’t hated how her magic felt. It had been cool, sometimes bordering on icy, and she had liked it that way. But the priestesses hadn’t liked that. They had taken her from her family and locked her away, branding her a heretic for developing divine magic that wasn’t Lolth’s. Lady Lolth’s. Luamice didn’t know if or not the spiders that had flooded the room irregularly had been real or illusory. All she knew was every time she fought them off, every time the darkness in the room stilled, the first priestess would come. Every time, Luamice would be beaten between lectures on her heresy. And yet she still hadn’t been able to grasp it.

There, in that room that even her eyes, though accustomed to the dark, couldn’t witness, Luamice finally heard the voice of Lolth. Mayhaps ‘voice’ was too specific. But she certainly sensed the spider queen at long last.

After who knew how long, Luamice had stopped fighting. Perhaps the spiders were venomous. Perhaps if she lay still and let them consume her, her torment would end. She didn’t bother to heal the wounds from her last beating. If the spiders couldn’t kill her, maybe an infection would give her that mercy. If she was lucky, she would bleed out first, but beggars couldn’t be choosers. She could feel the spiders crawling all over her, their tiny legs stabbing at her many wounds.

Heal. Barely aware, Luamice had followed the command. The cold familiarity of her magic failed to wash over her, instead the spiders seemed to grow in numbers. But then they were gone, leaving Luamice alone, fully healed. She was a priestess of Lolth’s now, whether she liked it or not.

That didn’t mean the other priestesses liked her, or even respected her. The whole house knew of the unspeakable origin of her magic. She was still as alone as she had been in that room, the crawling sensation crossing her skin every time she used her magic a constant reminder of that fact. How long had she been in there? She couldn’t say for certain. No one spoke to her long enough for her to ask. It had to have been over a decade, though likely less than two. She had grown up in that time, after all.

Luamice put the cleaning supplies away before leaving the compound. She needed a drink. Something strong, to kill off the lingering feeling of her magic.

Queve art

The main protagonist/whumpee of 'The Zurkhwood Shadow'

He's the bar's only server, cleaner and errand boy. All of his bosses (whumpers) are dickheads, to a certain extent.

Queve's relationships with the rest of the cast.

Lyn'Vic: Chef (terrible at it, Queve is the only one who will continuously subject himself to his cooking, cause he's had worse)

He's also one of those 'It's just a prank bro' types. He pranks everyone except Kelriina, but his pranks involve destroying or damaging people's stuff and creating situations where Queve needs to do more work/risk getting injured. Because he's a sadistic asshole. No he will not pay Queve, he already provides him with a roof over his head. No Queve cannot take a day off due to the injuries Lyn'Vic and Ereldril cause. He's replaceable. Hell, he's got some weird infection too. Lyn'Vic is putting himself at risk to help Queve. Queve actually being comfortable for a few minutes? He thinks the fuck not.

Kelriina: Minstrel/Carpenter (Lazy as all hell.)

She ignores Queve, but she does derive amusement from his suffering. Occasionally, she'll manipulate things to put Queve in the path of an annoyed or bored Lyn'Vic or Ereldril, when things are getting boring. That aside, she wants a quiet life.

Ereldril: Bouncer (Drinks behind the bar when she's on duty)

The one most likely to injure Queve when he annoys her, or when she wants to hit something or whatever. Thinks he should sleep outside. He might be contagious. She'll order him, Lyn'Vic and Spirril around, but Queve is the only one who actually has to listen to her, Kelriina usually intervenes when it's one of the others.

Spirril: Bartender, Alcohol supplier (The only passable thing about this Lolthdamned bar. Seriously, Kelriina never plays her music, Ereldril is wasted on the job and also a huge bully, Lyn'Vic is a terrible chef and person, and Queve is overworked, ill, usually injured and has no idea what he's doing)

Spirril is a carewhumper in denial. He usually delegates (ie. pushes the things he doesn't want to do on) to Queve and shouts at him when he asks for instructions that make sense. He does provide instructions afterwards, which makes him Queve's favorite. He does the most to insure Queve gets basic necessities like food, baths, clean clothes, water, sleep, but that's mostly because he doesn't want to deal with the inconvenience it causes him. Eventually, it just became his job, which he is furious about. This makes him yell at and guilt trip Queve. At some point, he figures out that Queve imprinted on him and decides to use that to his advantage, becoming more of an intimate carewhumper. Queve is aware of this but doesn't really care.

Istyl: Braeryn born drow. (*Redacted for spoiler reasons*) (Caretaker (mid))

Queve's first love, doesn't reciprocate those feelings. Unusually caring (for a drow) towards Queve, at least until he made Queve leave. Queve knows the reason but is in denial about it and generally suppressing it.

Luamice: Low ranking priestess from a low ranking house (having a crisis of faith)

Becomes a regular at the Zurkhwood Shadow after befriending Queve. Also a whumpee but with different whumpers.
