Might have got a little carried away with the new draping locks hairstyle

Conversations with a vampire necromancer (i.e. Valendil, Valien’s brother and the black sheep of the family.)

Vampires! My various vampire characters from elder scrolls online that I’ve been doodling over the last month. Tried to draw them with their fangs out and such because it's the spooky season. 

Short ramblings about them below:

(Top left) Vesunna Guinhael - Breton sorceress/witch and antiquarian. Part of the Ravenwatch. 

(Top Middle) Valendil of the Shroud - Altmer necromancer. Voted most likely to brood at windows in the moonlight. He’s also very tall, even as Altmer go.

(Top Right) Karethys Eraishah - Dunmer Ashlander sorcerer warrior, particularly dedicated to Boethiah. Was a guardian of her clan. Still feels that urge to fight for and protect others even after contracting vampirism and her subsequent exile from her clan. Voted most likely to crush you with her two-handed sword.

(Bottom Left) Sigrun Ravenwing - Nord heavily-armoured warrior with shadow and ice magic at her command. Voted most likely to tear your throat out with her teeth.

(Bottom Right) Arellius Sabellius - Imperial gentleman, healer and physician. Generally a very amicable fellow but can also make you bleed from the eyeballs with blood magic if you get on his bad side. Has an uncanny knack for skulking around in the shadows and popping up behind people.

(Just realised Valeyn Marvani, my undead dunmer fire wizard is missing from here. I did mean to include him, but think he must have slipped my mind because although he’s technically a vampire in game, I imagined him more of of an undead, ash-vampire-ish type rather than a “true” vampire. Still, I feel bad that I missed him :( )

I got the new high elf dance emote yesterday! Sadly Valandil the necromancer has no one else to dance with, so you’ll just have to imagine he’s dancing with some ghosts in a Jenny-of-Oldstones-esque fashion.

“At one time I would have also considered my middle brother a friend also, but I fear that time has since past. He was formally a Revelator-Naganwe, a Death Seer for the Divine Prosecution, but in his grief he found himself reaching for magics he should not have reached for, and performing experiments that crossed too many lines. He chose to distance himself from the rest of the family to avoid ill-will to befall our household; Altmer society is not forgiving of Graxifalas – disgraceful - behaviour.” 

- Valien Gelus, on his brother, the necromancer known as Valendil of the Shroud.

Spectral Indrik, an excellent mount for a high elf vampire necromancer <3

Doodles of high elf brothers and masters of ice magic, Valandil (left) and Valien (right) of house Gelus. 

They do have some Issues™ to work through. Formally a Revelator-Naganwe for the Divine Prosecution, Valandil became both a necromancer and a member of the undead community in a rather misguided effort to fix a mistake he made. Older brother and former Battlereeve Valien was never terribly impressed with this unfortunate turn of events; despite this, he still worries about his little brother.
