Sometimes sad cat wizards deserve to get swept off their feet by their narrative foils.

Many, many thanks to both @flappingduster-scribbles and @aboxthecolourofheartache for helping me un-weird the anatomy. Why did I need to un-weird the anatomy? Well, let's look at the reference below the cut...

Leyendecker painted a gorgeous little picture here! But if you look closely, you might notice that the gal in this painting has...no mouth. Also, no nose. She and the dude are just lamprey'd together at the face. It's pleasing and totally works in the reference (which is a crop of a larger painting), but it just looked really, really weird in my painting. So, I had figure out how to give Caleb back half his face, making a lot of stops in the uncanny valley along the way.

Here's the initial sketch! Essek's hair was a fun challenge.

And a bonus: Essek might seem pretty tall in this picture, but if you zoom out...

They make it work.

This was Lucians an Molly’s final thoughts fight me

Florence and the Machine at last night’s Spotify event in Brooklyn. As Florence began to sing Sky Full of Song a literal storm began to hit, she never faltered and embraced the storm.

Lucian Stone & DeRollos Death Theroy & The Cerbus Assembly’s vendettas against three great Clerical Families, an their relationship with the Betrayer Gods through the Briarwoods

Spoilers discussing information up through C2 ep141

Ok so it may be obvious from the title but I’ve been think a lot since the Finale about how many open path an questions there are left open (which As a theorist I love no complaints) but if we draw those thread close we can see some interesting links

Since campaign one in the Whitestone arc, an since we learned of the family go dust clay and stone,for me at least, the question had been what did Briarwood find that lead her too WhiteStone? On the PC side we know only that Caduceus Clay has had the dreams about Whitestone an it properties I believe that to Malora it may be seen a Hall of the House of stone, an the De Rolo family of the family go stone, but what was their origin in perusing Vecna? It was in a state of dispear an death that Deilhla sloughs a way to bring Silas back, an at least while living did not seem the servant type, what if the voices an dreams where the Somnovuam? What if Vecna is an earlier form of a Cognosa consumed wizard who also came as the Nonagon, the original writer of the journal maybe, it would explain the corrupting power of his hand, then watching campain two the party I believe was at the Dust family forge an they learned about the activity via Bos memories that Briarwood was chased out of the Empire for out lawed Necro practices, we know from campain one that this was done to bring back her husband an ultimately Vecna but what if her ritual was the reason for the corruptions (I.E the book) release, it would have been 25 years before the Nien an if Lucian was between 5-7 at the time an was used as a key for its release, that is what if in order to inact the rights of Vampirism one of the components was the soul energy of a blood mage from a specific family’s blood Line that was tied to both the Abyss an Malora with dedications to the Moon weiver? What if Lucian is from the family of stone also an the reason The somnovaum goes so far as to bring his pieces back together is that his “gift” is what allowed Vecna to discover that what he needed was in Whitestone by using Lucians connections? An after he is shattered he is put back together because he was ritually sacrificed to them as a child an is the closest connection that Therisdun now has to a physical form? (Which Molly accually mentions pieces of, an why he doesn’t like looking back) An this is where Vessdrogna comes in when we learn about her we are told that she is the Mage of Antiquities or historical magic at the time of the Nien. I don’t think it a coincidence that that was also Briarwoods title before she had to flee to Tal Dori, an personally I think they (Vess an Delihla) along with Trent an the Martinet where all present for the rights of sacrifice that Lucians family an he himself where put through, this is where they first experience the straight energy of Necro Soul Syphing magic, an I’m reach here, but such magic seems like it would be pre calamity magic, an something someone with far more exsp would have to cast because one wizard would have to pull the energy an then at least one other would have to preform the second cast to use it as a component of a separate spell, I believe only someone of the Martinets or Yusas level would be enough to preform a single cast an enchant, the place also had to be specific that where I think the Shady grove comes in it the place “Lucians half” an the “Molly/Kingsley” half were separated an the dominate (adult) Lucian being became the conscious mind an was connect to Vecnas “god hood” but wait WHAT. IF. This god hood is Thurisdun? an. There’s a running higher archy in his cult which we know that The Martinet would be at the top of casting wise the assembly would be gathering children with talent, bloodlines and potential to further the cults power victor (Ithink) had placed the devices at the will of the Martinet or Vess possibly both. but this would exsplain also Trents instant pick up on Yasha possibly knew Lucien from the sacrifice and knew Caleb had been fighting beside them an a member of the Kobalt Soul an I bet money the whisper spell he put on Yasha in the Taveren where they met was a tracking spell an he had put an order to the Slavers telling them the direction they where heading an that’s why she Fjord an Jester where their targets, an why Caleb was so upset with Molly death he suspected Trent had a part in the abduct
