♡ Welcom to my BG3 Gale x Tav(Zilvera) 's doll house ♡
Don't wanna be here? Send us removal request.

Anything about Zilvera's design that is different from what gameplay allows?
Example: Letting her braids down at night, non-facial scars/tattoos/piercings, starting clothes that are not part of the game.
Hi anon! Thanks for the ask! <333 Hmmmm I do have a setting where she sneaks out at night for sketchy activities. She’s also has a poison immunity trait built up a by continuously consuming poisonous substances, giving her drow culture background.
As for body alterations, she was taught and trained to avoid leaving any scars on her body as proof of Lolth's blessing (since the church offers healing services and wants their people to walk around as advertisements). She has a very effective scar-prevention cream recipe :D She could have earned an honor tattoo (scarification with white ink style, in a spider/web pattern) as a reward from the church if she had advanced in rank, but she left Menzoberranzan before she could get one!
(Sorry this took a bit long, life has been busy lately 😓)

So how is Zilvera recieved by the Dekarios post-canon? How is her relationship with Gale's family? What does she do in Waterdeep?
Hi anon! Thank you so much for the ask!!♡♡ Wooo interesting questions!!✨✨
How is Zilvera received by the Dekarios post-canon? She remains unfamiliar to the Dekarios family. 🥷 Zil feels awkward around the kind family members and threatens the mean ones. She’s conflicted because these humans are important to Gale, but they annoy her by trying to get too close, asking too many questions, and attempting too much touching. Most of them are considered naive and weak by her drow standards. She rarely attends any Dekarios gatherings, preferring to spend time alone with Gale at home. She has 0 interest in small talk, or in hearing about their children, pets, or daily lives. Zil is a spider cat XD She is difficult to get along with in daily social situation.
How is her relationship with Gale’s family? She can connect some names to faces, but it doesn’t go further than that. The Dekarios family got to know her at the wedding, but they’ve barely seen her since. Tara and Zil leave each other to their own ways and business, but would be okay to team up if Gale needs something. Gale would stand with Zilvera if the family ever spoke against her.
What does she do in Waterdeep? Waterdeep isn’t exactly friendly to drow, so she usually wears Polymorph whenever she’s not with Gale. She spends her time in Waterdeep like she did in Act 3! Poking around for secrets, conquering enemies, and stealing all kinds of valuables. From time to time, she leaves the city for months if an adventure opportunity arises. Later on, she starts her own merchant guild, which keeps her pretty busy in the city. (And Gale's really happy for the change <3 )

I HC Gale, who is the canon cook in the party, and also the condition with the magic items, has sharing food as a love language. How would that develop with Zilvera? Considering I can see her at the first days with the new team trying to eat the least possible from other people's cooking in fear of being posioned, hence being the fact that at some point eats Gale's food without at least checking it first and maybe even asking for seconds as a signal of full trust.

"You must know, our relationship is the brightest spot in our otherwise bleak endeavour."
- Hi anon! thanks for the ask, and I HC the same! 💜🙌 I placed this moment not long after Elminster's first visit. They just got into the cursed land, before Act 2 scene. It's the time I HC Gale's heart had been heavier with every moment when all they saw was one horror following another. He was painfully pondering if Mystra's demand was necessary. I also have quite a few HCs around this topic <3!
So Zilvera has several layers of strategies to avoid being poisoned:
A special set of utensils, plates, and bowls that would react and reveal most types of poison
Eating small amounts, at irregular times, and in irregular quantities
Consciously consuming poison to build immunity
Studying whenever she has the time
Never talking about her strategies—but Gale had figured it out since his eyes always wandering back to her.
And Cooking:
Zilvera doesn't cook. 1) She finds it troublesome, 2) is not picky about food, 3) has no interest, and 4) thinks it's a servant's job.
Gale's cooking and seasoning unconsciously aim to please Zilvera. Later on, he basically cooks to suit her tastes.
Zilvera can eat the same thing repeatedly. Gale absolutely cannot, he needs variations.
Much later, when they live together, they agree that if Zilvera upset Gale, she has to cook whatever he requests. (He usually order seafood just to see her frown. My HC romanced Gale is a terrible tease XD)

Question about Zilvera's experience, and yours, with several quests and characters. Which are the NPC she liked the most (considering she must like them as a person or asset instead of as a character)? The one she liked the less? Any difference with the one you like and dislike? Also with the quests. Any that is fun to you but Zilvera would be like "yeah, I hated that adventure, I would never do it again" or the other way around?
Hi anon! thank you so much for the ask! <333 It's always fun to think of the story and these asks always made my day! A very interesting question!! Let me open up the bg3 wiki...
Zilvera in general holds neutral feeling and minimal opinion towards people. The few NPC that she has feelings for are:
✔️ Thaniel🌿
✔️🔪 Emporer, Gortash - liking them in a: "It'd be so satisfying to see you beg while bleeding to death" term
🔪 Vlaakith, Raphael - Similar thing for the elderbrain - Zil's fear of formidable threats often transforms straightly into a cruel, burning need in eliminating them.
Many NPCs I like Zil'd probably barely remember:
I think goblins are fun! (I especially like the one who was reading Volo's journal <3)
Lakrissa (Alfira's partner? bestie? The pink ponytail tiefling!)
Rolan's siblings
As for the dislikes I think Wulbren was an ass and I would never give the Ironhand to him 🙅🏻 But Zil wouldn't mind, as long as the leader is someone who she can work with. As for the quest I have one fits the I-enjoyed-but-Zil-hates description perfectly — the Iron Throne prison! They did manage to save all the prisoners including the duke, but Zil wouldn't lift a finger to help if not Wyll insisted and Gale thought it's possible. Also I imagine the place smells very, VERY FISHY with the amount of Sahuains, which is the smell Zilvera absolutely hate. So yeah she booked herself a room in Sharess' Caress and spend hours for bath despite Gale spell-sanitized everyone. She needed the luxury to calm her nerve. Sorry for taking so long for this, I had been obsessed with playing a NSFW game called Degrees of Lewdity this week! 🤫😂 It's free and so much content!!!

BG3 Details!👀
! SPOILERS ! BG3 is well known for its crazy level of details, sharing some that I find interesting and less mentioned! <3
1. Stolen Lockets This small dialog in the grove has a lot of twist! It started as Meli stole Barth's locket and they were arguing about it. (1) Meli'd claimed he stole it because it looked like what his mother used to have and Barth'd gave it to the boy since he felt sorry for him. Then Meli ran off with a devilish chuckle SFX. But, did Meli lie? You could find the same locket on the dead tiefling in front of the trolls.
(2) I only knew this from a YT video. Barth's mother stole the locket from someone else too!
youtube
2. Elminster speaks in a different tone if he's alone with Gale, or Gale is PC He has separated dialogs if Gale's alone/PC too. Also here's the audio track for comparison while he was casting Mystra's spell. I'd say he dropped the oh-mighty-wizard energy quite a bit it's funny 😂
3. I want to live 🎵 You can trigger 'I want to live' BGM by standing on the hill behind Astarion's tent at the first camp site, also the corner next to the ladder at Wyrm's lookout.
4. You can poison goblin's booze tub in act 1
All type of poison kills same amount of goblins so don't bother wasting the good ones XD And drow's does not but them to sleep, it would kill too.
5. You can save many last light inn's people If you wipe moonrise tower absolutely clean (except for the roof) before going into Shar's domain, they won't die on the bridge since there's no one for them to fight with. I killed all enemies included the eyes to get this result XD
6. You can't talk to people when you are silenced Duh, but wow!? The rule apply to most npc senarios too! I noticed this because the hag never begged to me until I dispelled the silence spell...!! You can't talk to your companion either, the talking action would be disabled.
7. Orin kills Zevlor if she has nobody to kidnap And left you a fancy painting of herself.

8. The wood log next to Minsc tent is probably Boo's hamster house...! 🐹 It's model's name is BLD_Camp_Boo_A and it does look like a hamster house!!!🐹🏠🥹 SO! CUTE!!!
I swear I was just going back to collect some references for making my tent design kit...😅🤣

Wedding prompt WIP! <3 Zilvera isn't very mindful of her own appearance, she only likes dressing up Gale. If it weren't for the wedding dress she would have worn armor to her own wedding.

While agreeing with all the lore, I do think Larian chose purple as the color for the Weave. Because "…only the fabric that she herself is and embodies," Elminster's "…charm I was bid," and "A stream of pure, undiluted Weave…" all depict the Weave with a purple effect 🔮



As for why blue is GodGale's color, I don't have many thoughts, but it's definitely a curious topic! My rough guesses could be:
a) Blue is often a color associated with intelligent characters. b) I think Gale's design initially had something to do with electricity (thunder? cuz he's Gale? XDD Sorry can't help it 😂😂) c) They just needed a different color to suggest that it is a different type of magic. (it's mentioned in the devnote.) In this theory, I think blue would be an interesting choice as it often suggests calmness—while red would be a perfect fit for a title like 'god of ambition'—it could hint that Gale would still have a more neutral alignment rather than an evil one. Also here's a screenshot from BG3's artbook for reference.
Oo, okay. I’m looking at God Gale again. Anyone know why his colors were chosen as blue and silver? There had to be a reason for the color choice right? Not purple, because that’s Mystra’s color, I assume, but why blue?

So, I was watching some DnD lore youtube and saw this
youtube
then my mind jumped to

and put two and two together. Maybe our wizard just want to make sure when he is astral projected he isn't going comando. Cuz the I'd-ask-Tara-go-to-another-room dude might feel unsecured without his boxer? Anyway thought it make sense so I hereby present my +。゚+。Gale's underwear HC゚。+゚😂Just why Netherese specifically? Oh by the way the gods don't wear underwear, I checked. (I really did, Mystra&GodGale&Wither. Well GodGale was a bit hard to describe he's wearing something but his...wand was still out sooo idk godly fashion??) -BONUS- Also I don't see this a lot so I decided to share the finding:

Karlach: So githyanki undergarments. Very fashionable. Lae'zel: The under-harnesses are often used for strapping oneself onto a red dragon. Karlach: Fashion and function. You lot really have it all figured out.
I wonder how does the strapping works while they would probably wearing armors or pants. I hope there could be a dialog about that lol ohh it seems many gith's armor are pantless that's how! In case anyone wants to check the dialog it's "PB_Karlach_Laezel_ROM_Act1_001"

Right back at you! Could you tell us about their wedding ? 8, 18 and 19 🥰
Hello hello!! Thanks for dropping the ask!! Loved to do more Wedding prompts!! ✨✨
8. Traditions - The overall ceremony was a much simplified version of the traditional Dekarios ones. Many customs involves seeking good luck and my HC Gale snorted at and skipped lots of them. "All that's needed are the right words, gestures and substance components." type of Gale who would ignore the regulations and superstitions.
It still serves as both family gatherings and singles mixers as the traditional ceremonies do.
Dekarios family dances and ice-breaking games.
The rings followed Waterdeep traditions.
All the traditions are from Dekarios or Waterdeep. In my world Menzoberranzan don't have this type of weddings.
18. I Now Pronounce You... - Zilvera inherits Gale's family name, becoming Zilvera Dekarios and Mrs. Dekarios. Gale smiles every time he reads or hears someone call her that way. Zilvera likes how it links their name like a pair, although she rarely introduces herself with the surname. Just in case, because she wouldn't want to stain its reputation on her behalf.
19. Guests -
🎶People were chatting, playing, dancing, singing, drinking, eating, mingling 🪕
A group of children made a bouquet for the bride using the flower decoration on the table. "We think you are beautiful," the brave boy holding the flowers at the front said nervously with blushing cheeks.
Astarion was flirting with the most innocent-virgin-looking cousin.
Shadowheart set up a drinking contest with bets, and made a fortune out of it. She can hold her wine and she skillfully cheated.
Lae’zel was bored until Shadowheart persuaded her to start a martial arts arena: "Shouldn't a true warrior be able to win with any weapon?" Contestants chose food from the table as their weapon. The loser would have to eat the food afterward. Baguette was a popular choice. SH again made her coin purse even heavier. "My animals need to eat, and I am a responsible owner." She said with a glass of wine in her hand.
Elminster was there. Gale was playing cool but he was thrilled inside. He opened a precious wine for his idol and Elminster played along as if he was here because he wouldn't want to miss the wine. Only El knew the true reason of his visit, the old wizard has always been a mystery.
The ceremony moved Wyll to tears. The magically chilled beer moved Karlach to tears. They both missed the food and air so much.
There were piles of wedding gifts.
Barcus and some of his gnome friends, from Ironhand and from Gondians, attended. He brought her a very fancy firework show as wedding gift. The gnome's visit was also a business trip; they planned to expend their business in Waterdeep.
Zilvera looked at Barcus with an arched eyebrow. He stood there stiffly, posing like a scarecrow. "Are you trying to give me a hug?" "I just feel like it’s appropriate for the occasion. You want it or not?" "Maybe, but I am not bending down. How about you jump into my arms?" "You wish!" "Hm." She smirked, it’s good to see the familiar grumpy face. "Here, take this. I brought you a wedding gift so you won’t blackmail me later. Find a secluded place and toss it into the sky, as high as you can…damp coal! I said secluded place! Would you ever listen to my instruction...!"
"…Listen. I'll only say this once." Barcus said while they both looked up to the sky, knowing the drow's ears would pick up his every word no matter how loud the fireworks were. "Zilvera, you are a better person than you think. You deserve all of this. May you always find inspiration and strength in your union, my friend."
In my HC post-game Zilvera was in close contact with Barcus, who was now leading the Ironhands and collaborating with the Gondians, to help them recover from Gortash's doing. They needed money and wanted their skills to be known, while the drow wanted to build her own merchant guild, so they hit it off. Zilvera grew increasingly fond of these little fellows for their impressive skills and their character. She especially liked Barcus; they had become true friends.

I appreciate Barcus's character and quest line so much, his was lots of fun! ("We love collaboration. Challenge. Solving problems with the power of reason, creativity and invention". Yup that's my cup of character ☕) He also have this firework dialog at tiefling party, it was very him 😂

Wanted to ask about how Zilvera felt about all the children in her camp? Specially about Yenna considered that unlike the Tiefling children or Thaniel/Oliver, she doesn't show any potential or power. I can see her taking a liking in Mol and Arabella, thinking of them a good allies for the future (specially once both of them become adults), one would have to be mad to not respect Thaniel/Oliver. But, not to be cruel to Yenna, she is an average orphan who clawed to the first person who was decent (and sometimes not even that) to her. Was Zilvera more into being kind to children because of Gale's influence by then? Or did she just let her stay at camp because most of the team, Gale included, wanted to help?
Hi anon! Hehe thanks for the ask, always appreciate the chance for story-brewing!! ♡♡ Well, Zilvera simply...never thinks about them. XD
Her mind was like the quest tab. It was filled with a long list of to-dos, and she could barely recall the kids' names. Except for Thaniel, who was part of Halsin's quest so she remembered.
It's not possible in gameplay, but in my HC the companions took their own actions. Wyll always try to help and share as much as he could. The charming prince had high CHA and was very persuasive — not to mention persistent. Sometimes Wyll/Karlach were too eager to give more than they should, while Gale/SH were being pragmatic and talked them down. Lae'zel was rolling her eyes, she believed the weak should be pruned. Astarion wanted to keep everything and didn't want to carry them. He'd rather sell extra food for a couple of gold than give it away for free. Zilvera had no interest in interfering. The children weren't problems in her eyes. There was always someone taking care of the babysitting, and the kids weren't slowing them down in any way. She cared about combat resources but not camp supplies. Gale, Wyll, and occasionally SH were the ones keeping an eye on rations, camp planning and tent maintenance while Lae'zel kept the weapons sharp and the armors rust-free. The druids would take care of medicines and pest control. Fleas are awful and nobody wants them.
Zilvera's impression of Mol, Arabella, Thaniel/Oliver, and Yenna:
Mol Just another playground boss of the street. Opportunistic, bold, cunning. Zilvera thought Mol had a high chance of dying soon; one mistake is all it takes.
Arabella SO. LOUD. Why does this one have to shout all the time? Keep her away from me or I will have the shadow silence her. Act 2 was when Zilvera's nerves were most tense. Too many unknowns to figure out and the environment/enemies were ever deadly. She wasn't showing, but Gale's suicide mission did bother her. It's never easy to go against a god's will and she was eager to know everything, prepare better, not dealing with endless haunted things. She wasn't too impressed by the girl's magic since many other spells can do similar task. My HC it was taught to Gale.
Thaniel/Oliver It was interesting talking to Thaniel, and she sensed true, old power in him. Talking to Thaniel was like listening to wind running through the forest, which Zilvera enjoys a lot. She felt peaceful around Thaniel. Didn't really had a chance to talk to Oliver.
Yenna My HC Yenna was trying hard to make herself useful. She would behave with the best manners she knew and help with cleaning, washing clothes, cooking, serving food, washing dishes, etc etc. She knew she was at their mercy for the protection, so she was doing whatever she could. Thanks to her, Gale was freed from cooking duty, and they used the time for dates. Gale enjoys exchanging recipes with the little chef. Yenna in my HC was the one who actually lived with the group, and the party would bring her little gifts. Even Astarion had a soft spot for her after a while. Post game Wyll used his connection and found her a job at a kind noble house. Soo yeah that's everything! Thanks again for the ask it was really fun brewing all these!! <333 Please feel free to drop any questions! Always happy to do more ♡ (´。• ω •。`)

I imagine Zilvera at times has problems keeping up with the moral compass of some characters, namely Wyll and Karlach, specially with subjects as slavery, child abuse (as she might not consider some abusive traits as abuse), and others.
I can imagine them seeing her free the deep gnomes and being "thank gods you are against slavery", and because she avoids confrontation her reacting being like "Yeah, yeah, sure. Whatever helps us sleep soundly at night without more conflict than the one Shadowheart and Lae'zel bring."

Hi Anon! Thanks so much for your ask! This might get a bit, or very lengthy because I find it hard to stop talking, or thinking, about their story 😅😂💜
Yeah Zilvera's moral compass is basically "whatever leads to what I want is right."
The storyline I chose here was: co-op with the duergar elder → used regular explosives to blow open the cave and kept the Smokepowder → killed Nere and loot all his money from his body without being noticed. This battle turned into a favor the elder owed her, since he failed to pay what he promised. → freed the deep gnomes, including Barcus.
In Zilvera's eyes, these were all minor skirmishes, and the true enemies haven't shown their faces yet. She wanted to gather all possible advantages for the upcoming real war. The little guys with powerful explosives technology were worth investing in. And Nere? Who?
She has no sympathy for slaves or children. She thinks these people brought it upon themselves; powerlessness and compliance are the true crimes. Wyll and Karlach were great "good-guys" moral examples for her because their reactions were honest, instant, and easy to read. She influences people by making them to like her, and in general surface people like the good guys. She knew the concepts of slavery, manipulation, and abuse are triggering to many, so she prefers putting on an act. Nobody ever openly asks her opinion towards slavery, but if they did, she'd give sly, witty answers like "Of course, I ran a slave farm back home," or "Why? You need a mistress?"
If she was alone, she'd probably wrest control from the duergars by making shocking horror examples of her capability, then force the gnomes to figure out a way to blow open the rocks immediately. Her approach would be, "Your loved ones are in there too, right? Don't you want to save them? Clock's ticking, and their fates are depend on you."
In her opinion whipping slaves to make them work faster is foolish child's play—how can injured arms swing quicker? She has no need for defective slaves. She slaves with a long-term reward and punishment system. Learning the slave's drives and fears, creating conflicts of interest among them to ensure they don't band together, making them prone to betraying each other. She has a twisted appreciation for the true art of manipulation. The master's work should always be deeply ingrained and unnoticed. Flogging? Beating? Starving? Amateur. My spider baby was raised in Lolth's church after all.
Ironically, her core has always been a devoted lover, a giver, a pleaser. Her lover's approval means everything to her. Zilvera feels embarrassed by the way she loves so she's pretty shy in romance, even worse in bed. It's an endless cycle for her—she gets hyped by their affection and then hates herself for having no dignity. But the sweetness is all she wants in the world so she'd easily go back to the same track. I wrote a story curve for her and it'd eventually gets a lot better as their bond grows and she slowly learn self acceptance. Her moral compass had became guessing-what-Gale-likes ever since she fell in love with him XD She’s already hopeless way before they reached the forge. She always looks for opportunities to put a smile on his face, to make him proud of her. Anything she thinks he wouldn’t approve, she'd do behind his back or find another way. This tendency eventually sowed unease in herself. She thought that once Gale find out everything about her then he'll definitely leave. She thought their relationship was but a countdown on a tightrope which she tried hard to cling to. My HC Gale actually knew some of her secrets and struggles, but he was treating the matter carefully. He sees her true nature as quite selfless, a rare and precious attribute that he loves about her. Plus it's intoxicating for him to see how much influence he has upon her and how obvious that he is her priority always.
[DISCLAIMER] I wanted to build an anti-hero character and create a reasonable, relatable drow culture out of the straight silly evil frame so I built Zilvera this way. None of these represent my own moral opinion! XD
