Heh heh, look at them little fellers go! Clangeddin Silverbeard, the dwarf Father of Battle, usually appears as a huge avatar looming over the battlefield. (Terry Dykstra, AD&D 2e supplement DMGR4: Monster Mythology by Carl Sargent, TSR, 1992)

Hauke Testifies

From tonight's session of Fabula Ultima:

"So! I think the biggest part of the mess started when we arrived in the City of Oasis. We wanted to go see the Water Crystal, but there was a big storm so we had to go through the sewers and got attacked by monsters. And then at the Crystal Chamber itself, there was this Void Cultist wearing a gold mask. And he would. Not. Shut. Up about the Void. Like, we were all fighting him and he was just going on about void void void void so I wound up shooting him in the throat to make him stop. And that's when the mask started moving on its own, and it kinda ... ate? ... him? And then it started talking again. Also I think he was trying to open a rift above the crystal and summon some kind of monster before the whole throaty shooty thing. Anyway, the mask creature went through a different portal and I recognized the landscape of Taishan because I'm from here and everything, so we went to follow, only first we had this big argument because Radikai wanted to help the Crystal recover, but O-men said that was just giving metal to the butterflies and the Crystals should be left alone and the world should lapse into a state of, uh ... decay? Is decay the right word? Decay? Decay. Yeah. Decay. But O-men's really judgy - (not an actual Judge like you, Your Imperial Majesty. *kowtow* Just really full of himself.) and pessimistic like that, and he wound up running off to go take care of a Chocobo or something. That was when we headed for Taishan to try to see the Earth Crystal, but that would involve a lot of perfectly necessary bureaucracy so instead we went to visit Radikai's friend who's growing a garden to try to help the Earth Crystal get healthier, but we got attacked by more monsters and another of those mask people things. We managed to fight them off, but Radikai got attacked by a fragment of the mask person thing and it got wedged where the sun doesn't shine, so we had to take him back to the ship to get the shadow out of where the sun doesn't shine, and meanwhile the Void Cultists decided to attack the ship directly. We had to fight through another bunch of people who almost kidnapped Cid's daughter - wait, no, he's called Silverbeard, sorry - Silverbeard's daughter, but we got around them and tried to use his Moon technology to trap the chunk of shadow. And of course it also attacked us, and then when we killed it, it tried to blow up and take out a chunk of the Imperial City, but everyone helped me stab it a bunch of times so it missed--"

A friend of mine told me about a concept for a scene in the canceled Treasure Planet sequel. Apparently, John Silver was talking to Jim about how he ended up with half a robotic body at the hands of the pirate Silverbeard. That made me think of a young John Silver before he was a cyborg captain, and that made me draw this.

(And yes, the mop is a reference to the fact that in the future he could be reflected in Jim Hawkings, but oh well, that's just my mental delusions.)

Cuiviénen

Elara walked down to the sea. She stood quietly gazing at the silver horizon.

The sea air brushed her face with a nostalgic and humble majesty. The memories of yesteryear danced in her heart. The happiness of returning to the the alabaster city, rebuilt from ashes, made her kin's soul sing. There was nothing but carefree summers and divine enjoyment of all the beauty that Arda unfurled upon all creatures inhabiting it.

And then in one salty moment she was back right there in the present, to the very smallest fraction in which time may be measured. The sea air has a way of doing that, of anchoring the emotions of Arda's spirit.

Flashback

A fortnight ago

"It takes someone strong to feel the sting of the dark-side and remain steadfast in a will to work only for the light - to see the dagger in hand at the exact moment you feel compelled to use it and still be loving and kind, to let the weapon clatter to the floor, soundless, unnoticed. That's what being a warrior for the light requires, an inner strength, a keen eye for noble and good opportunities to bring peace, health and love - a self-control to avoid doing service for the one who harms." Thorsten said.

"I will go carrying these words in me - we won't falter - ever." Elara took hold of the Northmen's hand as a pledge.

"We won't falter - ever." Thorsten said with a small nod.

"Lady Elara, please forgive my intrusion," Aranthir said as he approached the elfin, "but you have a visitor seeking your audience."

"Who?" Elara looked at the elf puzzled.

"Barri Underhorn" Aranthir replied.

The elfin was slightly taken aback as she had expected anyone from Red Mountain to answer her call to take part in the Great Council that was to take place in two days.

But there in the Emerald Hall, she saw Ulf Silverbeard standing next to the dwarf king. Her heart went clump as the Northman's stern and silent eyes met hers.

"I am unfortunately a bearer of bad news, Lady Elara. Jarl Oakland was taken by the Variags. We believe he is no more."

The words were like daggers running deep into her heart.

"If I may interupt," Nimë, the elf princess walked in from the side balcony,"they might keep him as hostage. They are much changed - for centuries now they do not do Sauron's bidding anymore. And if it is so, the ransom will be high."

"We can only imagine what they would ask for him." Barri now said.

"The Silmaril from Morgoth's Crown" Elara muttered.

"But they are a myth." the dwarf king said.

"They are not." Nimë looked at Elara and then at Barri. "They are hiden deep in Ered Engrin."

"The Iron Mountains" Barri uttered.

"Yes" Elara exhaled softly, hiding her pain and worry under the cloak of calmness.

"This all will be discussed further at the Council at sunset," Nimë said gesturing to the dwarf King and the Northman, "now - we offer you Quarters readied for you to rest until then."

As Barri and Ulf exited the Hall Nimë asked Elara to join her in the Library.

And there, she plucked a book out of the cabinet. "This is something you need to read."

"Parme Melmar (Book of Stars)" Elara muttered as Nimë passed it to her.

"We found this in the foundations of the Old Gate Library after the excavation. There is a section about the Ring of fire. And the magic that draws destruction upon all of Middle-Earth."

"Morgoth's son could wield such magic?" Elara asked.

"He is part Valar." Nimë said. "There's something else you should know - Thorsten is only part human. His mother is Nienna."

Elara looked at the princess astonished at the revelation. "She is a Valar."

"She must have known that Morgoth had a son."Nimë said. "The Valar's needed a courageous nemesis."

"Thorsten does not know this?"

"He does not. It has been revealed to us by the Istar., Palacendo. He is eager to speak to you." Nimë said.

Elara nodded slightly, and looked at the ring Thorsten gave her.

"You said once that his and your soul are the same. I can see that now. He means more to you than you are willing to see."

"Yes, he does. My heart would break if something happened to him."

Meanwhile

Ka'lth, Khand

"Nin canó - nin quetë mellynni. (I beseach you - let me see my men.)" Thorsten said in Quenya, as he knew that this was the language the Variags would understand, even though they detested it.

"Savop avalkaumn! (Stop talking!)" the man who held him captive said in Varadjian and turned to one of the wardens. "Puav naj-ri shal avhe zi houuke (Put him in the black house).

And when he was hauled down the river to imprisonment, his thoughts were with his men that would be slain. The Variags were mercenaries. Kept only those hostages that were of value. And he knew that he was spared as they found Elara's charm on his necklace.

His heart was heavy. Reeling. All now seemed to be lost. The quest futile.

"Nothing is in vain. Though it may seem so." Elara's words drummed in his head. "Much sacrifice will come to pass - to stop darkness from falling all over Middle-Earth and beyond. Everything can be taken from you in a second - trust your spirit - it is so strong. Your soul and mine are the same. We endure."

[from-one-to-seven]

Are the other residents of New Haven aware of the main seven’s adventures with the Silverbeards and Turmoil or is it kinda on the down low. Like did anybody witness the events of power of seven or test of friendship?

((That is now something that I have to ask myself, huh? Before the revamp, the cottage was nicely isolated and there were no real instance of others being able to witness stuff happening XD

I like to think that the other residents are blissfully unaware. Makes it more fun to have them live mundane life while there's actually a ton of excitement happening nearby.))

// Flat colors for Irina Silverbeard, a new D&D character I've been playing. She's a half-elf/half-dwarf rogue and light domain cleric multiclass. I may at some point attempt a thread or two with her, we'll see. Though I may first need to fix her right hand and shade this lmao

[phaeton-flier]

Karl "Silverbeard" Marx and Max "imum Profit" Engels, cackling in their secret underwater base below the Goldman Sachs HQ: "yes... Yes, soon our plan to become Rich and Woke shall be complete, and everyone in America will have blue hair and pronouns!"

So bizarre to see conservatives talking about "woke corporations" and "institutions promoting cultural Marxism" and then you look at what they're talking about and it's things like Goldman Sachs, Lockheed Martin, and the US military
