#Eclipse Durge

[crimsontigerart]

400 hours in Bladurs gate 3. Current play through is my good dark urge- Eclipse romancing Astarion.

They balance each other out and bring out the good in each other .

Astarion is Yin. As he has his evil and self preservation/ survive mask on and keeps others at arm's distances. Enjoying the gore. But inside, he is a kind person. But he can't be that person. That weakness. He will glare at moments that his vulnerability appears. Like falling in love with Eclipse, when his plan was seduce Eclipse into an alliance. Eclipse helps Astarion let himself be venerable. Let him inner good out.

Eclipse is yang. While he is good natured at heart. He serves his father as murder and is the cleric of lolth. Eclipse fights the good and evil within himself. The good urge to be the perfect son and followers. Currently fighting his dark urge to kill.

Eclipse does have selfishness to him. He will help himself and maybe others if it's convenient for him. But he can't lie and say that helping people and doing the right thing doesn't fill him with happiness. Though he will deny and drag his feet.

artfight attack of @beebundt's durge ^_^

im obsessed with the durge ending with the red eclipse. i had to incorporate that into at least one drawing this year

[primopinku]

Hello! First off, your work is gorgeous! Secondly, If you’re still taking sketch ideas, could you maybe do a few of Astarion saying some sassy things about the other famous DnD vampires? (Strahd and his brides, Union of Eclipses, Kanchelsis, etc.) I’m still laughing about him making a comment in the game about Strahd.

Aw thank you!! Also I love that comment as well! def one of my favorites of the game. Here are some good ol' fashion pencil an paper sketches I did. Ngl the hardest part of this was trying to come up with and fitting lines in. Seeing as 1. I'm not really funny or clever lol and 2. DnD def needs to expand more on vampire lore imo.

"I like to think I'd make a better God than.. let's say., Kanchelsis. All that power squandered just to play king rake"

"... Well I want a seat on The Union of Eclipses, but we don't get what we want do we hmm?"

(whispering or thinking) "I wonder if this is how Escher felt.."

(This last one was a specific scene I pictured if your Tav/Durge etc was smooching everybody else but him.)

Dumping Astarion into Castlevania

I've recently finished Castlevania: Nocturne, and I have vampires on the brain. I'm surprised there aren't any more crossovers between BG3 and Castlevania. They both involve RPG vibes/mechanics, vaguely historical settings, and of course, vampires. I think if Astarion got dropped into Castlevania, particularly Nocturne, I think he'd have some fun interactions.

Anyway, here are my brainworms:

Let's place this story post-BG3. Astarion's level 12 and a vampire spawn on some level of the good to neutral spectrum. This is to keep him on some sort of equal level with the main characters (power-scaling between these works is so confusing). It would be interesting if he were a phantom rogue (I guess he skimmed The Necromancy of Thay). It's this ghostly rogue subclass that fits the gothic setting well.

Anyhoo, the story starts with Astarion (and Tav or Durge maybe) searching for a vampirism cure. This leads to him entering a temple about vampires. Rocks fall, he rolls a nat 1 on his dex save, and he enters a post-season 1 Nocturne world.

Astarion enters into a world of culture shock. Here, the vampires have won. There's no sun, he can walk outside 24/7. He is considered and respected as a full vampire. There are flavors and varieties of blood to drink. The eclipse has brought about vampire party time!

But his new brethren are wanton and cruel; they use humans as their pets and trample over the autonomy of those considered weaker. They worship some self-styled god that powers herself on sacrifices, and toys with her prey. Sound familiar?

Astarion tries some internal sabotage. He drives away or claims and frees the youngest victims. He shanks the nastiest (but not most powerful) vampires after luring them to isolated spaces. He swallows down his flashbacks, his disgust at himself when he does this.

His fellow vampires become suspicious of him. Astarion's forced to run. He runs and runs to the remotest areas, he subsists on the blood of animals once again.

One day, when Astarion has wrapped his mouth on the neck of a rabbit in a forest in France, he gets spotted.

"What the fuck." states Juste Belmont, who's being sick and tired of all these damn vampires around his damn hut.

Astarion manages to both explain himself and insult this murder-happy woods hermit at the same time. Juste points him toward the Nocturne gang, who's doing some plan to bring the sun back or something. Astarion remembers the feeling of the sun on his skin and decides to join.

"No point in depriving everyone else of something so sweet. Mark my words, old man, I will walk in the sun again."

Astarion somehow joins the gang that somehow doesn't go murderhobo on him at the first meeting.

I can see him becoming their spy on the inside, an intell gatherer who can freely rub elbows with vampires. No more disastrous human-only spy missions! Maybe he runs into Olrox at a fancy vampire mixer. Maybe Astarion gets reminded of his own vampire-nonvampire romance if he's with Tav. People reference historical events and Astarion has to pretend he knows what went on.

Astarion secretly thinks Alucard's the coolest guy ever (he's just like Drizzt for real), but acts all aloof around him. Having both done this save-the-world thing before, Astarion and Alucard gradually take parental/oldest sibling roles within the group.

Alucard: "I'm aware of sun veils, parasols, all sorts of innovations that allow vampires to walk in the daytime, albeit covered. How exactly did you manage that feat with no coverings at all? Magic?"

Astarion: "That's a long and complicated story. To put it succinctly, a giant squid-shaped ship abducted me one day and shoved a tadpole into my eye."

Things happen. Erzsebet gets defeated, Astarion reassures Maria and Tera that one can still have a fulfilling relationship with a loved one even after vampirism, and he leaves for his own world. There could be a scene where some powerful vampires offer him ultimate power, and tempt him to conquer Faerun under the Castlevania vampires' name. Astarion, having already gone through this ascendent nonsense once already, turns that down stat. He waves goodbye to his new friends. He walks back into Faerun's sunlight, the sunlight he must dodge again once more.

I don't think I'll make this into a full-fledged fic. Anyone is free to add on to this or make stuff based on it.
