Hey, if any of y'all MCD folks need different body type references might I recommend l9oking at the character models from the game Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West! The games have a large variety of body types and you can even use it for armor inspiration! Also, the characters are hot! Especially Kotallo and Petra

Petra, Jordan - One of the 7 Wonders of the World

Entry to Petra is included in the Jordan Pass. There are many hiking trails to explore Petra of varying times and difficulties. We did a combination of the Siq (the Treasury) trail, followed by Jabal Haroun trail, and then the climb up 900 steps Ad-Dier Monastery Hike. To explore most of Petra and its beauty I'd recommend a full day. We had a lovely opportunity to have tea with a couple of Bedouin ladies. We had two Bedouin women, one Brit and me, an Easter European, and it was such a great conversation about our families and tattoos over tea.

Jordan - Day 5

           Today we visited PETRA.

           If that doesn’t pique your interest for this entry, nothing will.

           The day didn’t start very auspiciously. We made another early start – even earlier than the last two – in order to leave the hotel at 6.30 and reach the Petra visitor centre for its opening time at 7. However, we then had to wait at the gate – with hundreds of other increasingly-impatient tourists – for more than an hour while a convoy of armoured cars and police vans drove back up the access road out of the site, some of them toting gun-turrets. I never got all the details of what was amiss, but according to Reem some people wanted by the police had been found on the site, apparently necessitating a great deal of armed backup to bring them in.

           The gates opened eventually, not too long after was scheduled, and the herd set off down the road with a cheer. Some people stopped to take a horse-ride into the city, but all of our group went on foot. We stopped to get our first taste of Petra at the Obelisk Tomb a little way outside the site proper, across the access road from the mysterious God Blocks – as the group of odd free-standing cuboids hewn from the rock are called; also known as the Djinn Blocks – before we set off for the Siq.

           The canyon into Petra would be a wonder all on its own without any help from the Nabataeans. The mini-siq at Little Petra utterly pales in comparison. The access road winds its way through the narrow, meandering cleft in the rock, cooled by a pleasant breeze and shaded from the sun by the wind- and water-eroded near-vertical cliffs to either side. The cliffs tower unimaginably high above the road – the only place I’ve been that made me feel any smaller was the Grand Canyon, and that was in 2003 so I actually was a bit smaller – and are striped in layer upon layer upon layer of every conceivable colour that sandstone comes in, from subtle greys and warm yellow-duns up to the dusky pinks and reds that we really associate with Petra, with the occasional streak of hard volcanic black. Even within each layer, the flowing lines of fossilised ripple-marks make sure no one surface is totally homogenous.

           You can tell I studied geology.

           More Nabataean carvings appear as the Siq snakes on, mostly water-troughs and little shrines but also one big relief that once showed a man leading a string of camels but is now reduced to a few disembodied legs. After about twenty minutes to half an hour (depending on walking speed) you round the corner out of the Siq and are faced with probably the most iconic sight of Petra, the huge rock-cut portico of the Treasury, or Al Khazneh to use the Arabic name.

           Al Khazneh is a familiar sight these days, appearing in countless films and documentaries, but pictures – even moving ones – cannot possibly capture its full effect. The tomb – for it is a tomb, not a treasury or a palace – is staggeringly huge, looming so high above the tourists thronging around its base that it’s pretty easy to get pictures of it without anyone blocking the view. I was glad for our early start (not a phrase I thought I’d use), because the site was still relatively quiet by the time we reached Al Khazneh; it was much busier on our way back later in the day.

           Further along the track, as paving gives way to soft pinkish sand, Petra’s Roman-style theatre sits at the edge of the city’s great central basin. It’s not in such good nick as those in Amman or Jerash as its seating area has suffered more weathering, but the rock-cut bowl of it is still impressive to see. A spot called the High Place of Sacrifice sits on a flat-topped pinnacle above the theatre and we considered detouring to see it on the way back, but ultimately decided against it as ‘High Place’ is if anything an understatement and we couldn’t stomach the climb.

           The group stopped for a brief look at Qasr Al Bint, one of Petra’s central temples and one of its only (mostly) surviving free-standing structures, i.e. having been built rather than carved. We then scattered for a few hours of free time, under instruction to meet back at the visitor centre at 4, and Mum and I made for the trail up to the Monastery (also actually a tomb).

           This was why we were too tired to climb to the High Place on the way back. The Monastery was quite high enough for one expedition. The trail doesn’t look all that long on the map, but the map does not account for the distance vertically. It probably covers about the same length horizontally as from Al Khazneh to the central basin, but just keeps. Going. UP. Some people had hired donkeys to ride up, but it didn’t look very safe so we kept going on foot. A simple rising slope might have been less strenuous, but the trail to the Monastery is mostly stairs, and not particularly low or even ones either. An Inca message-runner would have been out of breath by the top.

           It is, however, worth the climb. The Monastery is not dissimilar in design to Al Khazneh with its columned Hellenistic façade, but is carved to an even bigger scale rearing 45m above the courtyard in front, with deep-cut statue niches in place of Al Khazneh’s bas-reliefs. The niches are empty now, if they were ever filled at all, but the statues they could have held would have been colossal.

           We found a quiet corner for a snack before heading back down to the basin, making a short detour off the trail to have a look at the Lion Temple (also actually a tomb) before stopping for lunch at the picnic tables beside the Nabataean Tent Restaurant. We then had a look around the Great Temple neighbouring Qasr Al Bint (actually is a temple, likely devoted to the chief Nabataean god Dushara) and, pretty tired by this point, walked slowly back to the visitor centre to see the Petra Museum. It’s not a huge museum, but houses a good range of artefacts rescued from the elements on the site and does a better job of explaining Petra’s history than the interpretation panels in the city itself do.

           It doesn’t take long to go around the museum, so we met with the group at 4 as instructed and returned to the hotel for a break before heading back out for tea at a local restaurant. I had a camel burger which was pretty good, but couldn’t finish the accompanying chips. They were pretty good too, but they serve really big portions here.

           A few of us then took a taxi back to the visitor centre to visit Petra by Night ™. This was essentially a candlelit walk back through the Siq to a bit of a light show at Al Khazneh and I wasn’t sure it totally merited the 17JD admission fee, but it was still pretty atmospheric watching the upper levels of the tomb slowly light up in silver as the moon rose over the mountains.

           The Siq in daylight is a welcome refuge from the sun. The Siq at night is a great place to twist an ankle despite the paper lanterns marking out the trail, but we made it back to the hotel relatively unscathed, mercifully not with such an early start tomorrow.

           ‘Petra’, by the way, is what the Greeks named it. To the Nabataeans, it was ‘Raqmu’.

Everything I found in Szarr's palace, for all your fanfiction-writting needs. I haven't found any other post like this one, so i hope i m not copying anyone. Posting it here, because editing the official wiki feels intimidating. Feel welcome to add anything I missed.

Astarion's siblings (the other spawn):

Petras - one of the two you meet in the Flophouse.

Dalyria - the other one from the two you meet in the flophouse. Her diary can be found in the "guest room". Before Cazador turned her, she was a doctor, a "Physician General to the Parliament of Baldur's Gate". She thinks vampirism is a disease and plans on curing herself of it by drinking blood of someone young and healthy - other spawn's daughter, Victoria.

Leon Onufrio - before Cazador turned him, Leon was a sorcerer. He is the one whose daughter's (Victoria's) body is found, cursed, in the room where with the Kozakuran dictionary.

Leon put a protective counter-curse on her, to discourage other spawns from attacking her. Despite his efforts, Dalyria bit her, hoping it'd cure her vampirism. Needless to say, it didn't and Victoria died @easterlingwanderer found out that if you use "speak with the dead" on the body, it turns out that it was a random urchin and Leon did get Victoria out of the city on time. After removing the curse inflicting you with necrotic demage, you can loot a letter of her body from her father instructing Victoria to read said dictionary, so she can freely move around the castle.

In the favoured spawn room, you can learn that Leon was the one usualy occupying it (along with his daughter). His diary reveals that he put extra effort to be Cazador's best hunter, so he can keep Victoria away from others and that he came up with a plan with Figaro to disguise and sneak Victoria out of the palace.

He also notes that he doesnt like the way Violet looks at Victoria and Cazador's wicked smile, when Leon asked him what his master was planning to do with his daughter.

Violet - you can find her Diary in the Dormitory of Spawn. She notes that she put garlic in Yousen bed as a prank.

Aurelia - a tiefling

Yousen - @neophytepagan noticed he is a gnome

Other:

The chamberlain of Cazador was Antwun Dufay. In his diary, which can be found under his bed in his room after a successful passive perception check, it says that he had a lover Lurianna (a werewolf, who can be found dead by walking through fake north wall of chamberlain's office, or through another fake wall in Chamberlain's private room). He knew about Cazador's Black Mass enough to fake his death in order to avoid the threat of taking Astarion's place. Unfortunately for him, it seems he confused the actual death potion and fake death potion, and really died. His lover drank the other potion, which melted her guts. The actual fake-death elixir can be found in his desk, which puts the player in 10-turn coma. He ordered the elixir from Bonecloaks', where he also ordered most of the things the palace needed to function (like bloodstain remover, candles and food for "guests").

Godey - Cazador's right hand. Astarion says that while Cazador was the master of the palace, the kennels (the room where the spawn d be tortured, when they did something Cazador didnt approve of) was the domain of Godey. Godey tortured the spawn when Cazador didnt feel like it. Cazador trusted Godey with the key to the sealed ballroom for the duration of the ritual.

Through the palace, fanatic-servants cleaning the palace: Syrin - human, Greenfern - wood half-elf, Vilhelm - human, Varderola - also human. All of them are servants, who Astarion said are devoted to Cazador and came to the palace of their own will, beggining Cazador to turn them into vampires. Vilhelm is most noteable, as you can talk to him and he asks Astarion why isn't he downstairs, that he is late and the ballroom is already locked. If pressed, he informs that Godey has a key and that the Cazador is going to punish Astarion for missing the ritual (and from his expression, he seems to quite like the thought).

Chamberlain Dufay wrote a blooddonnors ledger, instructing the Spawn to favourite the lower class as prey, as too many missing patriars may drow too much attention.

The language Cazador uses is Kozakuran, from a distant land of Kara-Tur. Astarion notes that they were strictly forbidden from learning it. From Cazador's Journal you can learn that Astarion was not an unreliable narrator when he said Cazador liked torturing him the most: Cazador paid the most attention to him in the journal.

In the favoured spawn room, there is a ledger with the list of spawns who have been favoured (its only Leon and one time Violet).

Amanita Szarr - on her 13th birthsday, invited by her Uncle Cazador. She was invited to the ballroom. She became a vampire, but was not happy about it. She rejected her family name Szarr and named herself Lady Incognita. She claims she stays in the attic and writes stories. One of the books written by her can be found on Cazador's desk.

Mrel Alkam - vampire mastress from Athkatla that Cazador wrote a letter to.

What is your take on Astarion's relationship with his siblings?

I have put unreasonable amounts of time into thinking about what the dynamics were like during Cazador's reign in that house. I mean, imagine sharing the same tasks, bedrooms, and general experiences of abuse and duress with the same people FOR TWO HUNDRED YEARS. That's absolute madness. If any of you have had experiences with co-living with family under stress for any extensive amount of time, you know very well the levels of emotional 4D chess-ing that tend to take place as a result. You end up distributing so much frustration and anger around and often onto the very same people you will ultimately seek comfort from - this is that situation but blown up to impossible proportions.

So, "strained" doesn't really do justice as a descriptor here. I believe the family had a dynamic, ever-evolving hierarchy within itself, years-worthy of time where the spawn shifted alliances and made "cliques" within themselves - rebels would evolve into pushovers and trusted friends would turn into snitches. You had endless amounts of drama within the group and flies on the walls would witness them cut each other's heads off one day and sob into one another's laps the next.

Naturally I think all of them were resistant to the concept of being a "family" at first, but it's pretty much impossible to not develop family-like ties throughout that long of a period. Following Cazador's death, I believe there would be further splintering within as some want to maintain said ties and others are eager to cut them - seeing both their siblings and the relationships themselves as yet another painful reminder of what Cazador imposed upon them.

I think Astarion falls into the latter category. If he had his way, he would never see, speak, or think of his brothers and sisters again. And while the sibling nomenclature is a deeply-rooted habit, he doesn't think it holds any legitimacy whatsoever (whether or not that's the case in his heart is another matter).

Dalyria (the moon-elf physician, whom I have come up with a story, personality, background and motivations during several long showers that might not necessarily line up with yours, so, if anything of what I'm about to say seems pulled out of a hat, it's because it was) is the opposite. She has grown attached to the constant presence of her siblings and taken a mother-goose role upon herself. With the Exception of Leonard and Violet (more on that later) she has decided they are her responsibility and wishes the group would stick together.

I like to think that there's a lot of history between those two in particular. Obviously, the interactions between Astarion and his siblings are very brief, but It's enough to run with. Dalyria shows a lot of concern and understanding towards him and even pleads when he threatens Petras' life - again, I think she did a lot of trying to pragmatically keep the peace among them and genuinely grew attached to a few - Astarion being the main one of said few. You even get the smallest hint of a on-and-off intimate relationship with the way he derisively calls her by her nickname.

Also, Astarion very occasionally showcases enough emotional maturity that I could see him latching onto the one other person around who seems to have her wits about her, but he's still flawed enough that Dalyria can think of him as a younger sibling that needs her care. Not to mention that, to me, she demonstrates a penchant for moral superiority and a dash of a machiavellian outlook, based on her diary and her completely unapologetic initiative to kill a child on the small chance it would lead her to a cure - not any child either, but Leonard's child. I can totally see Astarion sympathizing and gravitating towards someone like that.

Which brings us to the rest of the siblings - I would wager that, at least by the end of it all, Leonard and Violet were the odd-ones out. As it tends to happen within any tight-knit group, when one succeeds by stepping over the others (even if the reasons for it are justifiable) that brews a lot of resentment and eventual exclusion. Leonard not only did that, but he apparently still held onto hope of future and family outside the Szarr house; wheter or not everybody wanted out, I think a us-versus-them mentality is unavoidable under those circumstances, and Leonard was looked down upon by the others in their respective ways for what he was trying to do.

Violet just seems like she had gone a little cuckoo to me. We get very little about her, but when I think of an adult woman playing childish pranks on her roomates while you are all stuck in what's essentially a human trafficking ring... I think of a person who's either just a very silly breed of evil or who has lost touch with reality, and the latter is more interesting, imo. I think no one liked her, not only because she was a nuisance but also because she became completely emotionally untouchable. I think both Violet and Leonard are spawn who did not survive long after they were all freed.

I'll stop here before I ramble on for another 8 paragraphs about Aurelia, Yousen and Petras (Oh Petras, my beloved), but, yes, suffice to say that I believe it was kind of complicated LOL

EDIT: Not me calling Leon "Leonard" this whole post. Sorry buddy, you look like a Leonard.

Notes on Cazador's Spawn

Mostly for my own reference but hey, someone else might find it useful.

Cazador Szarr becomes the Master Vampire of Baldur's Gate in 1276 (list of master vampires) completing the Rite of Perfect Slaughter on his master, Vellioth.

Astarion's gravestone gives his years as 229-268 DR. There are two assumptions we can make here: the first is that this is just being written without the 1, so he's turned in 1268 DR. The second is that it isn't DR, but instead meant to be Northreckoning - which would make the dates 1261-1300 DR.

We have a few choices here: if it is in DR, either the 1276 date is wrong, or Astarion was somehow turned before Vellioth was killed. Because of that, I think it's a bit easier to assume NR, especially since he's "one of the first" and not "the first". But this is a bit nitpicky.

For the rest of the spawn:

Petras is around ~1390 ("one hundred years eating rats and dogs" from the Flophouse convo)

Yousen is around ~1430 ("only sixty years" after Cazador's defeat)

Dalyria was Physician General to the Parliament of Baldur's Gate (journal). The Parliament of Peers was founded in the mid-1400s, so she would have been turned after this point ~1450

Leon is at least from 1486 (6 years of favored spawn) maximum ~1480 (turned while Victoria is alive based on diary)

Violet and Aurelia have nothing that concrete. However, Violet does offer a prayer to Kelemvor after Cazador's defeat, so I'm going to assume she didn't pick up worship of a new god as a vampire, which makes her turning after Kelemvor's ascension in 1358.

This leaves us with like a century gap, with Astarion (and maybe Aurelia) being turned around 1300 and everyone else in the 1400s. But there's an answer to that as well...Jaheira and Astarion have a party banter

Astarion: Cazador always warned us to stay clear of this neighbourhood. Never said why, though. Jaheira: The last spawn who tried was sunk into the cobblestones and left for the sun to find. I had an unfortunate taste for theatrics, in my youth. Astarion: Ah. Yes, that was probably it.

The original BG games are set 1368/69 - so probably around then or shortly after is when Jaheira killed at least one of the spawn; we can assume there's a few more that got killed and replaced in the 1400s to get back up to magic number seven.

(more on the Szarrs below the cut)

The Szarrs were a merchant family. In 1479, they had been wiped out in an attack that destroyed their home in Tumbledown in the Outer City, leaving only Cliffside Cemetery within large caverns, and which were home to strange lights that could be seen from the river. Rumors about the Szarrs being seen as ghosts were commonplace.

The crypts under the Szarr Mansion we see in BG3 are the Tourmaline Depths, discovered by Donnela Szarr the architect - based on the article while she was Master Vampire in 1138-1204, but potentially earlier. I think it is reasonable to assume that the Depths are connected to the Cliffside Cemetery and Szarr family crypts underground (deeper than the Sewers or Undercity).

Amanita Szarr, or Lady Incognita, has a series of journals dated to 1477 recounting her turning.

Alturiak: describes that she was raised near Anga Vled, and rarely visited her 'Uncle' Cazador

Tarsakh: summoned on her thirteenth birthday

Mirtul: references every living (well, vampire) Szarr as Uncle Cazador, Granddam Fistula, Great-Aunt Dralia, and Cousin Blovart.

Kythorn: describes being turned, imprisoned in the attic. for refusing to participate. Then she drank human blood, and at least a year later, sent up a captive.

Flamerule: "succumbed" and declares herself Lady Incognita.

These span over 6 months (skips Ches after Alturiak). Reasonably, I think these were written during the period of the "captive" sent up, which puts her turning proper probably in 1476, born ~1462. We can probably date the death of her parents to be the killing of the Szarrs, while she was very young. About 15 years before 1479 is perfect time for a ghost story to develop while gangs to take over.

(Anga Vled is a gnomish village between Baldur's Gate and Elturel, along the Risen Road - so not far at all from where Act1/2 are set)

If we assume that the relations Amanita describes are accurate, the tree would look like this. Given that they're an elven family (or at least, Cazador is elven) that means we have a lot of space to work with, timeline wise, but the quotes around 'uncle' might mean he's actually Dralia's son or Amanita's great uncle, to give a bit more space.

??? (Donella Szarr?) |-------| Dralia Fistula |-------|--------| Cazador ??? ??? | | Blovart Amanita

The question is: if the Szarr family are all vampires, then what does it mean that they haven't shown up? And that Vellioth was apparently not a Szarr but was still the Master Vampire (and definitely in charge over Cazador?) Who turned them?

My personal theory goes something like this:

Donnela Szarr, wealthy (but not Patriar) elven merchant has at least two children, Dralia and Fistula (probably not real name because come on)

some time from 1019-1138, Donnela Szarr, while investigating the tombs below her family's estate, encounters Hideous Gathwycke and is turned as his spawn.

1138, Donnela Szarr kills him and becomes Master Vampire

Donnela turns Vellioth

Donnela potentially turns her children to grant them immortal life

1204, Vellioth kills Donnela, becomes Master Vampire

Vellioth takes control of the Szarr family (intimidation, magic, or potentially turning Dralia/Fistula, if they're his spawn and not Donnela's)

Cazador is turned by Vellioth (at least 1260, probably earlier)

1276, Cazador completes the Right of Perfect Slaughter

~1460, other Szarrs die; Amanita sent to the countryside.

~1475 Amanita turned

I imagine that Cazador was fairly young when Donnela was killed (young enough to not be turned yet), and knew Vellioth already, even if it might have been some time before he was turned. I'd put him at no more than 100 when Vellioth becomes Master Vampire; their relationship (and "martinet") feels very 'strict teacher' which makes me wonder if he was a tutor beforehand.

The debate is whether the Szarrs were killed for mundane reasons (rival merchants), by vampire hunters, or by Cazador himself. If he killed them, it might be for refusal to let him turn them into vampires (Blovart as the exception), or some level of sibling rivalry? Amanita's parents are presumably not vampires since she was turned, but that doesn't remove the chance of monster hunters.

Based on the timeline, Blovart may have died sometime after Lady Incognita's entries, placing Leon as his replacement for the seven spawn (maybe the Favoured Spawn room was his by default, and became a competition after? The fact it only goes back 6 years is interesting). Perhaps related to how she left or died herself.

Dralia and Fistula's absence might be that they don't live with him, but I could also see if they discovered the Rite of Ascension and tried to usurp him and got killed for it. Cazador is fascinated by the idea of family, and I could see him very much wanting to keep his family intact but also has no qualms about killing his own mother / aunt if they actually posed a threat to his real goals.

All of this + the Lady Incognita stuff is very rough, presumably a lot of it having been cut with the Upper City/shift in direction for Cazador's story. For more links/information, there's also this masterlist.

"You drew stars around my scars ✨"

I'm Dr Petra Grey-Summers, but you can just call me Petra. I just moved into The Avengers Tower as the official Mutant Therapist, offering my services to our future heroes and current team because I believe even heroes need help sometimes.

I do have a mutation of my own, nothing special but Professor X calls it Chronokinesis, I can pause, rewind and fast forward through time which helps when clients want total privacy in their sessions.

Ask me anything! I will be here posting excerpts from my diary, my thoughts and feelings, answering questions about the Mutant Academy as I was schooled there and anything else you all need! The excerpts will be edited to protect my clients identities of course, Doctor Patient confidentiality but yeah! Happy to be here.

A few things: I do like Taylor Swift (calm down @purpleprincessonfyre) but I also like Dolly Parton, Queen, Florence and The Machine and MARINA.

I am NOT a superhero. I do not handle weapons or fight crime. I sit at my desk and listen to your problems. Only thing I fight is depression, anxiety and inner demons. I don't Don any capes or catsuits unless it's Halloween night.

Yes my folks are Jean Grey and Scott Summers and yes that was tricky but I was mostly raised by my grandparents while they were still X-Men, on their farm in Tennessee so I'm a little country.

I love hot teas and a good cosy night in watching cheesy rom coms with a bucket of buttered popcorn on my lap.

Yes my hair is naturally red, you can thank my Mom for that and yes I do get freckles in the summer.

And finally, I kind of want a pet but I doubt they'd allow that at the Tower? Maybe a teacup poodle would be okay? I love dogs.

Okay that's all, I think. For now 🍂
