Felt like drawing the Tiefling bg3 kids as adults for fun.

[kirain]

I decided to make adult designs and "where are they now" stories for all the child tieflings who are confirmed to survive to Act 3.

Unbeknownst to her, Arabella was a latent sorcerer with a natural connection to the Weave. Her powers likely would've manifested at puberty, but touching the idol of Silvanus imbued her with wild druid magic, multiclassing her prematurely. This caused an internal struggle between the two powers, which threatened to rip her and anyone around her apart. Fortunately, with Withers' guidance, she set out to follow the Weave and found balance in her new, strange abilities. For years she traveled Faerûn alone, honing her skills and making peace with her past. Eventually, she became known as the "Wondering Storm", so attuned to nature some would mistake her for Silvanus' Chosen. Those who crossed her, however, would swear she was Jergal's Chosen; able to end a life with a single stare. Though not unkind, Arabella became feared by many for her stoic personality, mysterious presence, and peculiar command of the Weave. It seemed that wherever she was needed, she would inexplicably be.

Though Raphael went silent, Mol continued to enjoy, and perhaps abuse, the gifts from her patron. With the Absolute defeated, she quickly clawed her way up the ranks of the Guild, eventually becoming a pseudo ward to Nine-Fingers Keene. For years she would sharpen her skills, mentored by Keene and her most trusted associates, until she challenged the notorious crime lord to a duel for leadership. Much to her surprise, Keene lost, and was therefore forced to relinquish command to the young tiefling. Seeing the move as a betrayal, however, the Guild's loyalty was split, causing the criminal powerhouse to fracture. This led to a dark time for the Guild, with many in Baldur's Gate referring to it as the "Outlaw Civil War". Much blood was shed during this conflict, but eventually Mol turned the tides in her favour, running Keene and those still loyal to her out of the city. She would go on to rebuild the Guild in her image, successfully and more fearsome than ever; though, when she approached her old colleagues with an invitation to join, they all declined.

Once he managed to enter the city, Mattis tried to find his companions from the Grove, but he ultimately turned his sights to conning rich families with "panaceas from the hells". For a while, he flourished under this racket, until his scheme was exposed by jealous competition. This led to him being violently assaulted by angry customers, nearly ending his life—he only survived by rolling into a rapid canal. After being saved by a kind, impoverished couple who fished him out of the water, he spent nearly three months confined to a bed. His recovery was slow and agonizing, but hardly discouraging. Instead of succumbing to his misery, he took the time to plot his revenge. With the couple's help, he learned the laws of the land and revived his strength. Then, when able, he cut his hair, disguised his face, spied on the man who wronged him, and subsequently tricked him into signing his business over to the couple. Together, they turned the questionable business into something respectable. Mostly. Mattis' silver tongue finally became an asset, rather than a survival tactic, though he was never above a good swindle.

Ide and Umi took up arms during the Absolute's attack on the city, each of them basking in the action. Realising that Umi had developed an insatiable bloodlust, and itching for more battles herself, Ide suggested they enlist into the army. Though technically too young, the new General—appointed by High Duke Ravengard after the fall of the Absolute—accepted them as apprentices until they came of age.

Though their time with the Flaming Fist was imperative to their training and survival, they found the rules and hypocrisy of the troop disheartening, and even more so when the General died. Eventually they deserted, leaving Baldur's Gate entirely and starting a small band of vigilantes. To some, they were a menace. To others, they became heroes of the Sword Coast. No matter the case, Ide and Umi were inseparable, never seen apart.

Inspired by his saviours, Mirkon continued to write stories about his time in the Grove and his rescue from the harpies. He never found his parents, but he refused to live in the slum's orphanage. Life was hard for the young tiefling, often forcing him to grovel for food and coin. On the worst days, he found comfort turning his stories into songs, which he slowly morphed into a semi-profitable street act. This eventually caught the attention of Alfira, who one day happened to be passing by. Recognising his talent, and overjoyed to be reunited, she took him in and taught him how to play the violin. Together, they created a lucrative show that expanded well beyond the Elfsong Tavern, which aided Alfira in opening her dream college. She and Lakrissa would soon adopt Mirkon, and he would later become one of the most beloved and celebrated instructors at the college.

Though working as a hawker for the Baldur's Mouth kept Silfy fed and relatively sheltered, she grew listless. Dealing with rude and racist customers hardened her enough to snap back, resulting in her termination. With nowhere to go, she found herself wandering into Ramazith's Tower, where she implored Rolan for a job. Feeling for her plight, Rolan put her to work stocking shelves and filling orders. It wasn't exciting work, but she was safe and satisfied, until one day a customer's tome exploded, causing a flurry of rainbow flames that whirled into the shape of a unicorn. This event, though frightening, would inspire Silfy to start reading the books in the shop, with the help of Tolna and Rolan. To everyone's surprise, she proved to have an impressive aptitude for magic, and she soon found herself enthralled. Within just a few years, Silfy would be accepted into Blackstaff Academy, where she would excel in her studies and catch the eye of the great Vajra Safahr. She would offer Silfy a position in the school, as well as a mentorship, but Silfy would politely decline, graduate, and return to Bauldr's Gate. Her true home.

fun times at the Emerald Grove

featuring Mayhew, my gnome Tav who was a hit with the tiefling kids (perhaps because they don't have to look up to him heheheh)

I learned this run that the kids will SPRINT ACROSS THE GROVE to admire your bird familiar if you summon it there, which was cuter than words could describe

[nnibarrel]

Tieflings, thieflings and teethlings. Those are pieces from ~2020 when bg3 was in early access so some of the characters don't look like they are now. (the kids...) (I thought Silfy was a boy, oops, sorry :))

So much time passed what else to say... 1) I imagined like Zevlor heroically leads his people through hell and there's like full action with the demons and devils fighting or something and like some of the tieflings got caught and imprisoned and then Zevlor saves them and like again they flee through literal battlefield cause in that damn place there's not a corner of land where it wouldn't be dangerous... 2) Well, here's everything obvious) 3) Alfira in the moment of performing her song. In that scene near the end or somewhere in the middle the camera does such a move, when it focuses on the big tree in the druid's grove and I remembered that. In my brain that tree must represent some symbolism like... The tree is the life itself or something. Hope, peaceful eternity and stuff (and now my brain is dead, sorry) 

[beecreeper]

Wow Wyll I wonder if there’s a group of people who can relate to the feeling of being wrongly assumed to be evil and allied with the hells.

(I love Wyll so much but he is very silly for this)

hey, casual reminder for people posting HCs, stories, etc. about the tiefling kiddos from Baldur's Gate 3. Although the pair don't particularly resemble each other strongly (each likely takes strongly after one parent), Mattis and Silfy are siblings. (The only reason they're split up in Act 3 is because Silfy somehow landed a job selling papers so she's allowed into the city to do the job)

Just like anything that addresses Rolan or Lia or Cal is likely to need to touch on the other two, it's the same with these two. It's why Mattis is so nice to you if you go easy on her. Just something to keep in mind if you do creative w the tiefling kids

[fic--writer]

Tiefling children run around with paper kites shaped like an illithid's head. Numerous long tentacles flap in the wind. They're circling, laughing, playing catch-up.

[riza-hawks-eye]

Yeah I get it, we all like being mean to the npcs for fun,

But have you considered buying a newspaper from Silfy every day to boost his confidence?

Have you considered buying all of Yenna's soup at double the gold price and with all the toys and flowers you can find?

Astarion: me? A father figure? Ugh don’t be ridiculous.

Vs

Astarion 3 months after adopting the tieflings: *throttling a tailor for ‘ruining silfys dress’ I PAID FOR REAL SILK WHY IS MY DAUGHTER DRESSED IN RAGS!?

Tailor: I-it is just a mock up my lord-

Astarion: YOUD BETTER FIX MY PRINCESSES DRESS OR IM RUNNING YOU THROUGH YOUR SEWING MACHINE HEAD FIRST!!!

[kiivg]

draw happy tieflings!( if it seems fun) or scratch being silly!

.I honestly love the tiefling kids so much. The entire tiefling camp is just amazing, and I was so heartbroken to find the adults in act 2, just the initial feeling of coming across them for the first time and being like "wait, I know these people" is just UGH it killed me. Luckily I'd taken then mountain path so I was with Kar'niss instead of the group of Harpers who just TRAMPLE all over them in their haste to get to the ambush sight if you go through the Underdark. Also, it's worth noting the tiny difference between a Tiefling MC and a non-tiefling, I think Ikaron(?) calls you brother and is pretty relaxed around you, whereas he's mad suspicious if you're not a Tiefling, very cute. There's probably more, but I am Tristan at heart so I'm just playing him over and over again.

.Anyways, sketchy sketchy 😘.

[shewolfofvilnius]

Silfy is Mattis sister?!?!? I literally just thought they were both two of the orphan kids and like, either friends or paired up together by Mol on the con.

Oh wow. THAT'S why he's suddenly disproportionately nice to you the rest of the game if you don't get mad at Silfy for the con.
