what do you know of loss?

no words for how much I adore these two characters and the ways their journeys parallel one another's... take this as part character study (what if they helped each other heal!) and part ship content (they were made for each other...) anyways. the shadowzel illness never stops

AN INSPIRED DECLARATION, BARDIC COLLEGE OF FOCHLUCAN. I honestly thought my time as an artist had come to an end and all hope for further inspiration was gone. I come from months of fruitless research and abandoned music sheets, any spark of creativity flickering and dying by the time my fingers touched the strings. I was lost and couldn't find my way back home when suddenly, destiny came knocking at my door. Quite literally, I may add. I went to stay at my aunt's cottage outside of the city to see if some peace and quite would do my muse any good and I had the fortuitous chance of offering shelter to a group of weary travelers. They surely were a lively bunch and while I had fun entertaining guests after such a long time spent alone, Tymora's gentle hand came to save me under the guise of a young couple of most curious nature. A tiefling and a devil, by all means a nightmarish union if you were to give the rumors any credits and yet. They spent the night sitting quietly next to each other, letting the others take turns in keeping the conversation alive. I didn't mean to pry but I was mesmerized by the softness of their touches, the tenderness of their gaze. At some point during the night, the young man drifted off to sleep leaning against the girl's shoulder, she raised a hand to caress his scarred face with such unmistakable devotion it almost moved me to tears. It reminded me why I started composing in the first place: to wonder about the nature of simple things like love and companionship. If I ever see them again, I hope they'll know this song is for them.

forgive me, father, for i cannot help but admire the chosen of your sworn foe

☙ HEALER AMRYN'S JOURNAL / RIVEN HEALING HOUSE, TEMPLE OF ILMATER

Two moons have come and go since the accident happened. Hesperos is improving but progress is slow. His motor skills are fine yet he doesn't speak and rarely interact with the other priests if not prompted. I'm starting to get worried about possible lasting effects on his memory, sometimes I get the distinct impression the man doesn't know who I am or what I'm talking about when I try to remind him of his vocation towards the clergy. His spellcasting abilities seem to be intact but I must confess, I struggle to see how he can truly channel Ilmater's divinity or become his instrument in these conditions. Alas, it is not my place to judge or to worry about such things. I will continue to monitor the situation and report on any new findings.

☙ TARIEL VASS OF THE SERPENT TEMPLE (insp.)

The contract is clear, guildmaster. Malachi Vass needs to die, our client wants him away from the Waterdeep political scene for good. Send the boy to do the job but tell him nothing of the target's real identity, I think it'd be fun to watch the circle finally come to a close after all these years. Poetic justice and all of that. We should've never saved the man in the first place, after all, it brought us nothing but trouble.

SEN'KA BHAALSPAWN ☙ THE HAUNTED ONE — a torn page of a diary, smeared in blood

I knew it! The Society of Brilliance will have to listen to me now that I'm on the brink of this incredible discovery. I wasn't able to secure an egg, those wretched monsters just wouldn't part with it for any amount of coin but just as I thought all hope was lost, I found one of them on the road. An adult specimen, mind you, but a gith nonetheless. And when I tell you the look in her eyes was nothing like I've ever seen before. This was not simple contempt but a hunger deep within that rattled me to the core. She made an offputting comment about the smell of my blood and the look of my flesh, I had the distinct impression the only thing preventing her from tearing me apart here and there was the presence of her companions. When I asked her which chrèce she belong to she smiled a wicked smiled and told me she didn't grow up around other gith. I can't explain it but this was a definite turning point in my research, I'm sure this could be the way to prove that if the githyanki's violent nature cannot be overwritten by their surrounding, it can surely be made worse. I need to collect more data, I know it's going to be risky but if I could just find her again...

Share to get more input 👀 personally I think they'd all be great options either as one time sex scenes or full romances, available for both custom Tavs and the Durge. Like a huge romance Update/DLC adding all of them would be so phenomenal in my mind.

Tho for real Orin murders you after no matter what

CLERIC OF SELÛNE!TAV and SHADOWHEART in BALDUR'S GATE 3 (2023)

BALDUR’S GATE III › ORIGINAL CHARACTERS 2/?

AN EXCHANGE OF LETTERS. Sunrise Spire, many moons ago.

The boy is young, Dawnmaster. Perhaps too young to venture out into this world, so full of evil and grief. I fear it will break him, to see what it is like outside the walls of the Spire, where he’s been free to grow and thrive under the Light of our merciful Lord since he was but an infant. My spirit is unable to shake the feeling that his gentle nature won’t survive the shadows that fester far beyond our reach. I try to have faith, I know by Lathander’s will the Dark will not prevail but I can’t help but worry. If this is your final decision, to see him go, I will not oppose it. I trust your judgment and your wisdom when you say you see the wheel of fate spinning in his favor, our Lord's steady hand on his shoulder. I just wish there was a kinder way to let him go because I know this will change him, for better or worse. But I forget myself, High Priest, forgive the musings of a scared old man. I will summon Killian at the break of dawn and tell him of your decision. May the sunlight guide him and ever protect us all.
