wanted to draw what Steph would look like when she was younger (she's 18 in game currently). so i drew her as 8, 13 and 16.

[days-drawings]

the wolves/spirits from my dragon age campaign. from left to right; Devotion, and spirit of love and the First of the Knights Guardians. Wrath, and aspect of Devotion and a spirit of vengeance. And a guardian wolf, a spirit possessing a wolf, and what the Knights Guardians were, they serve Devotion until they choose a knight to follow.

i had a lot of fun making my campaign cuz it's technically canon compliant with dragon age lore specific stuff about them under cut

Devotion is a spirit of love centered around love for and of the elvhen people. Their love for each other. It possessed the body of a wolf to help the elvhen people during the slave rebellion that eventually joined Andraste's forces. It bonded with Shartan due to his love for his people and his drive to fight for a better world for them, acting as his wolf/spirit companion. They died along side him, and they changed from love into devotion. They became the origin for the archetype of a knight and their wolf that evolved into the Emerald Knights and the Knight's Guardians.

Shartan and Devotions bodies were brought to the Dales to be buried. They are later honored with the titles of the First Knight and First Guardian of the Dales. Devotion drew near to their grave site to watch over Shartan "while he sleeps". Eventually the elves of the Dales began a tradition of Emerald Knights making a pilgrimage to visit their grave to prove their oaths to protect the Dales before Devotion. In the forest where the grave is hidden, the elves thin the Veil to allow Devotion to draw closer, and other spirits follow, inspired by Devotion. Some take the bodies of wolves and bond themselves with the knights who make the pilgrimage, becoming the Knight's Guardians. These wolves are called Guardian Wolves.

Wrath is an aspect of Devotion that split off into it's own being, so that Devotion wouldn't be corrupted. But they're still connected to Devotion, and represent the ferocious aspect of love that drives one to fight to protect what they care for. Wrath is like a guard dog that protects the forest and grave. The fall of the Dales caused Wrath to be set loose, for the first time, decimating the Orlesian and Chantry forces that were attacking the region, but falling in the process. The later reformed in the Fade.

With the Venatori invading the region, hoping the Dales hid something of value, Wrath was re-awoken, and began to rampage again.

(Devotion's design is meant to resemble Witherfang, since they're both forest spirits that took wolf bodies, and there's a theory that the Lady of the Forest is also a spirit of love)

I've had them for a while, but after seeing what spirits used to look like in DA:TV I wanted to draw my spirit OCs. Meet Devotion and Wonder. More about them under the cut

Devotion is a spirit of love that's grow into a more complex spirit and took the name Devotion. They aided the elves during the First Exalted March, and stuck around the Dales afterwards. Their particular brand of love is focused on the elves, specifically the love and kinship between them. Their powerful enough to control a region of the Fade as their territory, and has a host of spirits that follow them. Their time interacting with the mortal world has tempered them and made them more resistant to warping. I imagine that while love spirits can be easily twisted, if they can survive and become more stable they can become rather powerful. In my mind love spirits have an important roll in the Fade ecosystem, as love helps propagate other types of spirits, and help nurture and protect younger spirits.

Wonder is a spirit of curiosity. They're still young by spirit standards. They represent wonder as pondering, but also wonder as awe and fascination. They seek to find new and wonderful things.

For their designs;

For Devotion, love is a connection or bond, so I went with tendrils to represent that. And their "face" is an array of eye-like appendages, the way you love is different with different people, so they move and shift around to reflect love changing depending on who they're facing, and the design is meant to resemble a flower, as flowers are associated with love, and love as something that can grow and it's tendrils are akin to roots. The design of the main tendril of the body and the eyes are meant to be similar to how Solas as wisdom looked, since wisdom and love are both based on understanding. The warm gold color is meant to resemble the sun and reflect the warmth of love, and the blinding nature of devotion.

For Wonder, their design is heavily based on Solas's wisdom design. The large "eyes" are meant to invoke the idea of wide eyes when gazing with wonder. The blue color is to make them resemble a wisp, to reflect their young nature.

The final boss of my DnD campaign. The half-born unnamed god of corruption that infected the World Tree and corrupted the gods with its madness. My players managed to defeat it with a blade enchanted by the god of craft to be able to kill a god.

(statblock under cut)

in addition to the god it is accompanied by about 15 Sap Tendrils.

A monster i designed for my (now finished) DnD campaign, they're called Storm Heralds, a fey/elemental spirit that creates dangerous storms where ever they go. They can take control of an Elder Tempest.
