#Illiamer Vandree

[faun-draws]

She was a high priestess of House Vandree. Beautiful, elegant, ruthless.

I adored her, and had been sharing her bed for some time when the order came that she must die.

I stayed with her while the poison did its work, and whispered words of comfort as she slipped away.

-Minthara Baenre, Baldurs Gate 3

She brought food and wine to her priestess. Leaving armor and weapons at home. Her love knew the wine was poisoned. Still she drank the whole glass, sadness and defeat in her eyes. She caught her before she hit the ground.

„I am so sorry.“, she whispered against her cheek, smeared with blood. Both of them shed a tear, glistening in the hundred candles that lit the temple.

Edit: I am now writing their story down. Its ‚Her Priestess‘ on ao3

Roleplay Blog for Illiamer Vandree, a Character based on a conversation between Minthara and Karlach.

Mostly canon compliant| will probably address darker themes, 21+| read comments for rules and information

Everything beyond the banter between Minthara and Karlach is made up by me. Feel free to write your own interpretation of the high priestess of house Vandree but Illiamer is my character, thank you!

„Then let me see how ticklish these hips of yours actually are.“

Her priestess raking her fingernails over her hips and the side of her waist, just the faintest whisper of a touch.

Minthara is flipping through a tome of the surface collected in regards to keeping her senses sharp when it came to speaking their language. She recalls even now having to read and write in their tongue before her own blooding of the noble ritual and aimed to keep her skills sharpened as ever. Minthara flips a page of the book resting atop her thighs as she sat perched within their shared bed. She should have known that something was amiss when the Vandree priestess came in to trek through the shredded parchments scattered across the floor in silence. Without her usual snark in order, the quiet was always an indication of mischief. The younger of the two raises an eyebrow and turns her head to peer past the pages of the novel. observing as she crawls across the plush of the bed before settling on her stomach near her hip.

Their eyes met and Minthara is quick to turn her eye back to the book balanced on her thighs. Despite her show of nonchalance, her focus was entirely skewed now that the Priestess was here. She could feel Illiamer's eyes still watching her and it's when she finally speaks that Minthara peeks at her again. It is almost a shy glance as her own red eyes flickered across her skin that was so much more richer in color than her own. Minthara's lips twitch and, "My hips are not-" Minthara jolts as a spark of shivering excitement bursts up her sides at her touch and suddenly the book is briefly forgotten as her hands scramble to close over Illiamer's, complete with a hushed outburst of, "Illiamer!" She can't help the amusement in her eye as she looks at her in a poor attempt at seriousness. Minthara inhales with the visible fight of her smile, "Stop." It was a command that was intended to be much more astute when she thought to say it. She even held her eye. However the small chuckle lining her tone helped nothing.

"No." She spoke again, this time unable to fight her own smile as Illiamer suddenly grins ear to ear and shifts up onto her hands and knees. Leaning over toward her in an ominous little prowl that sent shivers up Minthara's hips in anticipation of what was to come. The young Paladin closes the book with a small thump and scoots back toward the head of the bed with the lift of the tome with a weak threat to wallop her on the top of the forehead if she came any closer. "I said .. no! Illiamer!" And that was the instant with an undignified yelp of laughter Illiamer's hands grasps into the bend of her knees and drags her back down.

After Illiamer had been resurrected by Withers, the former high priestess started to heal Mintharas mind. Every day for weeks she used up all of her magic to retrieve her memories. It was a tiring process that took a lot of energy, especially from Minthara. Because reclaiming decades of memories also meant remembering all the things that Orin had done to her.

Minthara is the little spoon, try to change my mind it won’t work

High priestess Illiamer Vandree, finally getting a proper portrait.

It took me several attempts to get her face the way I imagined her. It’s still not at a hundred percent but close enough!

Chapter two and three of the the story about her and Minthara are up. I intended for it to be a oneshot but my head had other plans:)

[yathtallar]

• your name: Illiamer of House Vandree

• Romantic or platonic?: We never had a platonic relationship. We went from not liking (or denying liking) each other to making out every chance we got. So romantic.

• A night in or dinner out or an activity?: All of these, going out for an activity before having some good food. And then getting home early to spend the evening and night however we please.

• Ice cream or chocolate covered strawberries?: Can I have both?

• What's your perfect date?: getting some reheated food from a street vendor, eating it on the way home and then maybe a very extensive bath.

• Would you cook for me?: I would prefer not to, but if you’d ask really nicely, yes. I can not guarantee for it to be good.

• Would you let me cook for you?: absolutely not. No offense, my love but I don’t think you have ever seen a kitchen from the inside.

• Can we make-out?: Yes. Next question.

• Make out in private or in public?: I like to keep things private. Some things shouldn’t be for others to see.

-Illiamer (which means something like ‘a lost love’) Vandree was born the youngest daughter with two older sisters

-she struggled to learn how to read and was almost killed because of that, since she would be of no use for the family

-the day before she was killed Lolth send her a vision, directly threatening her elders and forbidding them to end her life. So she lived. Lolth would send her many visions, most being unpleasent to receive

-despite her struggles with reading and writing she became high priestess. Again, Lolth herself ordered her in a dream to start collecting information and doing research. It was kept a secret what this research was about.

-because of her secret work people started to try to assassinate her. That’s where Minthara comes in. The young paladin wasn’t pleased but she was ordered to protect the high priestess.

-anyway, things get a little heated and the two of them get to know each other after not liking the other at first. To no one’s surprise they fall in love.

-and Illiamer falls hard. Very much so, that she starts loving and caring for Minthara more than for Lolth. And the spider queen was having none of that.

-so it was soon declared that Illiamer had betrayed Lolth and that she would have to die. And who other to kill her than the love of her life, Minthara

-so Illiamer dies, but she gives a letter to Minthara explaining her research, telling her she gathered information to overthrow Menzobarranzan and in the long term even Lolth. And since she knew all those things that the spider queen would have seen her dead sooner or later anyway.

-Illiamer was supposed to get rid of her research so no one would use it. But she gives it to Minthara and in that letter asks her to hide it very well. So Minthara does hide it. However she forgets where she put it when a tadpole is forced into her brain

-in a universe where Minthara lives and doesn’t find love in tav/durge/another companion, Illiamer screams at withers from the afterlife for so long that he eventually resurrects her
