Sal learning a lot of cool explosive magic so he can show it off to the others

Garias tries to put it in a pipe after, but Brem is egging him on.

"You're sure this'll attract birds, Brem?"

"It'll attract some sort of ~bird~."

Zarys walks by like, "That better all have come from your personal stores."

Head canons were created in group discussions on Discord and we've preserved them anonymously. Please drop a message if you'd like to be tagged.

In January of 2024 the Zhentil Keep discord server was founded with the intention of connecting Rugan fans from across Tumblr and Ao3.

The server grew into a lovely community replete with resources for lore, art, customization, game settings and writing. As well as a place to workshop our various creative projects.

As the time has come to close the server, the moderation team wanted to create an archive to preserve those resources for the community and this Tumblr blog is the result.

Please note, while head canons are in part based upon existing text and voice lines within the game, many are simply our conjecture/in-jokes. We do not consider these head canons binding in any way as all characters are open to interpretation.

12, 14 and 23 for the end of the year fic asks please!

Thank you for the requests!

23 - fic I wanted to write but didn't

Going Fezzerk :( the challenge it was for got put in hiatus literally the day the first section was to be released (Fezzerk is in the third section) and has yet to start up again. Sometimes I think about just finishing it up for myself but at the same time I love doing these shared things. I had a bunch of jokes and a bit of it written. I don't know what I'll do with it.

I also have a fic planned that I might get to next year, set post game. Basically, Zevlor and Tilses get roped into solving a series of murders tied together by one thing: all the victims are previous members of the Absolute's cult. It might finally wrap up a huge plot line from I Will Bury You In Diamonds, which was which tieflings got the other dolls that helped Guex get through the Shadow Cursed Lands? It might not, though, because the more I think about the murder mystery the harder it is to tie it to that plot, haha.

14 - fic I didn't expect to write

A Honeypot; A Thirst Trap (NSFW). I did it solely on a whim because I thought some people on a server were funny and wanted to make them laugh. I barely knew the characters, I hadn't written a ton of smut, it was big "senpai notice me" energy....and now the fic has several chapters!

12 - Fav character

Arg don't make me choose. Currently it's probably Lakrissa or Salazon. They're both kind of "fail" characters, Lakrissa because she's all talk no action and happy riding Alfira's coattails, Salazon because he's the most underfunded, unlucky criminal wizard to exist. While Lakrissa is actively trying to slack off, though, Sal is trying to get some respect.

Earlier this year, definitely Pandirna, Ikaron and Guex. I loved how the three played off each other (Pandirna as a hurt but healing character, Guex as a cheerfully proactive character, and Ikaron as a stoic and overwhelmed character. All three were principled and I loved exploring that.

And I really liked my OC, Thiamarz, who was a challenge to write but with who I got to explore some really fun smut.
