#tes oc: ilabael

Heyyy~

I love drawing the flora and fauna from TES games, I absolutely love it. If anyone has any requests on that front feel free to throw an ask at me. This extends to plants, animals, fungi, and alchemy ingredients from any of the scrolls games. I just think they’re neat! :))

ALSO!! I post about my elder scrolls OCs sometimes (there’s info on them under the cut if you’re interested.)

[Making this so it’s not only a TES blog anymore, so you might see me post about other things]

(Last updated: 12/18/2024)

The Heros

(Skyrim) Viir/Viiraulor:

Viirautarelor is my LBD and also a Thu’um using alteration/illusion bard. That is to say xe likes to pretend to be people other than hirself for hir own amusement, and for the amusement of others. If you see several different designs for hir this is why. Xe is armed only with hir illusory wit and a kitchen knife. (Hir name should translate loosely to ‘dying trickster’. I ran with the Shezarrine idea, but this time it’s literally just mortal Lorkhan. ish)

(Oblivion) Archcanon Ice Wraith:

My HoK, Wraith, is a spear-wielding, bug-loving, ALMSIVI-enthused, alchemy nerd that makes friends with as many people as possible, and has fallen head over heels in love with assumptions and metaphors. She WAS the Nerevarine once, but didn’t want to be. In an attempt to mimic Vivec, she ended up using Kagrenac’s tools on the heart of Lorkhan to create her own unreal reality. One in which she is never the Nerevarine. This is the reality that all of my other characters live in. She calls it c0da Web. (When written, ‘web’ is the daedric character for ‘w’. Yes… it is a spider pun. This is Wraith so of course it is. Caught in a web of lies… im sorry). Ice Wraith is kind of obsessed with Vivec, and it is kind of a problem.

(Morrowind) J’uhna:

Wraith gave my Nerevarine, J’uhna, his name. In full the name is a mix of Dovahzul, Dunmeri, and a pinch of Ta’agra. It is JUN LUN/LUHN AH VAR, which means both ‘The Life-Light and Moon’ and ‘The Hunter of Leech-Kings’ Lives’. J’uhna is a frustrated, greedy, self-obsessed person who is crafty and annoyingly adept with words. If he likes someone he needs them to be unquestionably loyal, and if he hates someone he needs them to fear him. J’uhna has memories of all of the failed incarnates. He remembers being Peakstar, Conoon Chodala, Erur-Dan, Xayah, etc. Of course he also remembers being Nerevar. He’s coping with this, but not very well (he’s not entirely convinced that his memories and traumas from his past lives are real).

(Daggerfall) Plink

(ESO) Cirainile/Flowers:

This is my Vestige, an absurdly tall restoration mage who means well, but boasts some of Summerset’s more standoffish body language. He is an altmer born of a noble clan in Alinor which claims (without proof) that its lineage begins with Trinimac. He’s very interested in fabric making, and has a pet rat he calls Rice. His friends call him Nile, or Flowers, for short. (I pronounce his name sorta like ‘see-rye-kneel-uh’. Don’t really know how to write pronunciation out so that’s the best I got sorry :) )

(Battlespire) Daggi:

A powerful dremora from the badlands who makes eternal Mehrunes Dagon’s sphere by spending all of his immortality rebelling against it. Whoever holds the power is Daggi’s enemy. Because of how he is integrated into Dagon’s sphere, Daggi will always rebel against power, yet never stand at the top. If he ever wins his battles he’s quick to lose any power he gained. Not by accident but as an intrinsic part of his daedric nature. Unless his nymic changes for some reason he is permanently doomed to this fate. Not that he sees himself as doomed. He understands his place in Dagon’s sphere yet also believes his rebellions are his alone, and not due to some power outside of his control. His biggest faults are his unchangeable mindset, and his tendency towards perfect honesty. I have him here as my Battlespire character, but he also shows up during the Oblivion crisis to help the HoK and Martin rebel against his ‘father’.

The Side Bitches

(Skyrim) Ilabael Muhr:

A sweetheart and a plant nerd. Also my LBD’s ex-wife. Ilabael is the child of an exiled ashlander of Erabenimsun, and a kwama miner. She’s from Jora’ruhn—a city built by the Warrior-Poet’s last archcanon on top of the ruins of Vivec.

(Skyrim) Cahnu’ul:

Totally not a reincarnation of Vivec ;). In Skyrim he’s My LBD’s friend. He’s got no idea that he is who he is and if you accused him he’d refuse it. He grew up in Dawnstar, thinks the gods are incapable, and carries Wraith’s axe named Heaven-by-Violence. (Side note: Cahnu’ul exists in every conceivable timeline as a consequence of Wraith’s actions. If you’re curious about the ‘whys’ and the ‘hows’ of the mess that is this oc, feel free to ask. To put things bluntly though, Cahn Hahnu Sul Ul is my oc’s oc.)

(Skyrim) Peynach:

A winged Ayleid whose family lives in Skyrim’s southwestern mountains. My LBD’s friend.

(Morrowind) Morvana-Dar & Yana-La:

Two Khajiiti siblings who are both a part of the Camonna Tong during the events of Morrowind. My Nerevarine’s friends.

(Daggerfall) Snakes-Faces/Thuxisei:

Snakes or Thuxi for short. She’s Plink’s ‘friend’….. with benefits.

(ESO) Ondoth:

A leather working enthusiast and my Vestige’s husband.

(ESO) Zhaari-Sa:

A senche-raht that works odd jobs, and my Vestige’s friend.

Kaj-Mota:

Kaj exists … I love him.. I have no idea when he exists in the timeline tho. He’s pretty so there that. Idk. Big ol floofy man who likes to hunt.

Suna’raleyr & Aniayifir:

Siblings… both merchants and craftsmen. They live in the shivering isles. Ania says they live there for good reasons.. something about it being great for the imagination. They can occasionally be found on nirn, and are the ones who built my Dragonborn’s enchanted lute.

The ‘Wraith Fucked Up Her Old Timeline’ Characters:

Fahlthahrk:

I mean… at least someone is angry about that bullshit that Ice Wraith left behind. Fahl is a dwemer who, due to some fucked up time warping dragon break shenanigans, has been recently moved from an earlier era to this one.

Xayah:

A Khajiiti incarnation of Nerevar’s incarnations. Fahlthahrk’s ally. Azura slammed all the failed incarnates—memories traumas and all—together into a single person… but … Nerevar himself isn’t there... Elvil Vidron is though. In other words… this is not quite the nerevarine. Not yet anyway.

Niryai:

Niryai is not her real name. It’s just what she calls herself. This makes her sound conceited.. she thinks this is funny. She resides within the bounds of Ghost Gate and claims the territory around red mountain isn’t Dagoth’s, but hers. She’s also in possession of two of Kagrenac’s tools, the moon-and-star ring, and is actively holding Nerevar’s soul hostage. The not-quite-nerevarine, Xayah, has to go figure out how to get that stuff back from her.

Ilabael Muhr in her fancy armored robes :)

The daedric reads: Thrice for the three, thrice for another three, and twice more to placate mortality and madness.

(In the fourth era she is often considered to be a heretic as she participates in ancestor worship that includes the good daedra, ALMSIVI, but also Lorkhan and the mad god for some reason.)

Another doodle for @nerevar-quote-and-star’s 2023 tes pinup challenge because I am losing my mind over it and having lots of fun with my watercolors. I did the other prompt, nature.

This is Ilabael Muhr, one of my skyrim ocs and my dragonborn’s ex-wife. She’s a sweetheart and a huge plant nerd so the nature prompt felt right for her.
