Thanks again to everyone who helped our kickstarter get funded!
Decided to get more invested in the dwarf lore and get rid of annoying elf/mage bias by playing origins as Aeducan. And now I am no longer normal about dwarves.
I like how Aeducan origin explores the themes of tradition, conservatism and identity. You can also add religious trauma and even comphet, if you want to explore it past the surface level (pun unintended). I role-played my character Gwidelor in a way similar to the 4 sights of Siddhartha Gautama story - as a young sheltered prince who grew up surrounded with earthly pleasures and knew nothing of earthly suffering until he stepped out of his palace. Before leaving his palace, Siddhartha had never seen sickness, aging or death. Gwidelor may had seen death but he had no idea what life outside the royal palace really is. There are much more than 4 sights in his story. The first one, of course, was betrayal. He tried to please his family so hard. To respect the ways of ancestors, to maintain his honor and fullfil his duty to Orzammar, to represent the perfect image of his caste. All to know that there was no family in the first place. And no honor. That the traditions he respected didn't stop the Assembly from sentencing him for the crime he did not commit.
It gets even worse when Aeducan returns to Orzammar as a grey warden. The city is not what he remembers. He no longer sees gold, gems and silks. He sees a starving woman disowned by her family for refusing to kill her child. And a once respected warrior reduced to nothing but a mockery. He wonders. Has Orzammar always been so cruel?
He butchers the Carta. Gwidelor is grossed out by the Dust Town because that's what he had been taught. He was supposed to look down on the casteless. But why where is shame now? And not simply disgust with an air of superiority. Because the casteless are more real than they were in the royal palace. And Gwidelor is not so different from them now. Ah, shame, an Aeducan can fit so many of it. The kinslayer is always a disgrace to the house and the ancestors, it doesn't even matter if you kill Trian or not. Aeducan is a disrace either because their assassination of Trian was sloppy and pathetic or because they're too weak and soft hearted to be an Aeducan.
And the comphet part! Internalized homophobia must be wild in dwarves from Orzammar. Their kingdom is dying, the more children they have, the better. Men are encouraged to have as many concubines as they can afford. And well, gay sex produces children kinda rarely. Gwidelor had a kid with Mardy despite being gay because that's...That's what everybody expected him to do? Because he didn't want to be shamed by the entire nation of Orzammar and force all the ancestors to roll in their graves?
There is no more such pressure on the surface, at least among the grey wardens. He can do whatever he wants and the traditions can rot. But Gwidelor cannot denounce them, he is what traditions made him. He will forever be a son of Orzammar, even if the city itself is not as welcoming as he would like it to be. Gwidelor still has Orzammar's best interests in his heart. He still cares for his dying kingdom, even if it's no longer his. Even if the ancestors aren't supposed to answer his prayers, he still prays to them. The ideas of what traditions mean and what they really are will always conflict with each other. Gwindelor will hate Orzammar. But he will always love it. He is grateful for being made a grey warden. But his grief for leaving Orzammar will never end.

This is supposed to be Yan Dooku from The 212th Attack Battalion’s Guide to Staging Rescues but I guess he also passes as Thorin Oakenshield if he cut his hair.
I’m practicing drawing hair and beards on dwarves. Inspired by filibusterfrog.

Meet Baermora. In her youth she travelled to the Wolf's Head Mountains seeking solitude. One day while practicing her sword techniques she heard a whisper "You are bold. I honor your independence. Together we will teach the gods their limits." Ever since her sword has an eerie glow... #dwarf #warlock #dungeonsanddragons #illustrationoftheday #comicart #comicartist #illustration #illustree #illustrationartist #myartwork #instadraw #instadrawing #sketch #sketchdaily #martenegele https://www.instagram.com/p/BztoIPKIExf/?igshid=1qn50h5i5gfs4

The Hobbit Imagines (on Wattpad) https://my.w.tt/KvyhhsXjr1 Here you can read all kinds of stories based on the characters of The Hobbit. Feel free to send me some ideas for new stories! I do not own The Hobbit, nor it's characters, they belong to J.R.R. Tolkien and Peter Jackson. You guys are incredible! Even though this book has been completed, we've reached over 97 k reads! When I published my first s…
‘Araya Flamefist hails from a monastery deep within jagged and forbidding Spine of the World mountains, where discipline and attaining balance of all four elements is valued above all else. Her eagerness to prove herself in battle and tendency to seek out combat whenever she could was what ultimately saw her sent out into the world to recruit new acolytes for the monastery. Together with her raven Tenzin, her elvenphant Kyoshi and a group of adventurers that are almost family to her, she now battles the Cult of the Dragon... or Dragon Club, as she has taken to calling them.’
~ This engaging fire genasi Monk was commissioned by the gratuitous Charredlore, for one of his adventurers.
‘Located within the North Ward of Waterdeep, just off to the side of the High Road, lies Lingrim's Lustrous Loot – a shop that sells magical weaponry, armor and trinkets. It is owned by Grimhildur Goldenshield and Aralinathra Syolkiir: an incredibly enthusiastic Dwarven lass with the most marvelous of crimson beards and her long-suffering, tall and graceful moon Elven wife, respectively. They were all too glad to finally find a group of adventurers that they could sponsor in return for a hefty increase to their revenue. Contracts were signed, garbs and armor enchanted with their insignia, and off into the world Araya and her friends went to foister faintly sparkling pamphlets onto just about everyone.’
~ This fancy shield belongs to the OC’s of Charredlore. A crest design in the distinctive golden ‘Dwarf-Deco’ style in combination with a stylish purple ‘Elf-nouveau’ (or ‘Elvendstil’ if you like) eye, if I may be so bold to label the styles myself ;)...
The lovely young Hops Goldenoak! A dwarven Warlock with her Hydro Cat Barley. She comes from a family of famous brewers (Goldenoak ail). She's very short tempered, but loves her friends dearly. Hops is very much a free spirit and her water based magic comes from a powerful river fairy.
The Keg of Holding is Hops’s weapon of choice, which can contain thousands of different types of drinks. I had immense fun designing this weapon and all its taps, locks and buttons.
Hops belongs to (I am guessing) Kat (a.k.a. Dee-Enn-Dee), and was commissioned by Sam (a.k.a. yourlocaleggs) as a gift.
