IT IS COMPLETE!!!

Reblogs > comments > likes, so please reblog!

This took me about 7-8 hours, spread out over the course of about 3-4 days to complete. And it was WORTH IT!!

I am super proud of how the backgrounds came out! I made it so that the lighting of the scene was coming from some glowing lichen/moss/slimy stuff on that one stalactite behind Taizaros! This is all meant to be in a massive cavern that’s located right beneath a cursed inland sea in an asteroid impact crater, and said inland sea is called the Lake of Silence!

Lore infodump beneath the break!

It’s called the Lake of Silence because there appears to be no life beneath the pitch black surface of the Lake, aside from the tentacled “monsters” that grab those who wander too close to its shores. Those tentacled “monsters” (all of them are actually Taizaros, himself, swimming around in the Lake) then drag their victims deep beneath the surface of the Lake, never to be seen again. The Alliance of Venrias is very much aware of the fact that those “monsters” are actually one Fallen Deity, because of the fact that their Revered Soul Tracking Devices always pick up on the presence of Taizaros’s Soul within the Lake. So they would definitely notice if the signature of Taizaros’s soul were to disappear for some reason!

The Lake of Silence being within the crater of an asteroid impact has a lot to do with how Taizaros arrived on Leytovar after having been exiled from Daituria and the entirety of the spiritual plane of existence.

Knowing how this hellsite is.... I'm probably making a bit of a mistake posting this image here...

But the big monster with the mane of tentacles is Taizaros, the Disgraced Sacred Keeper of Daituria's Darkness and Fallen God of the Darkened Water. And boy, is the lore of the Fallen Deities of Fenrathae cryptic!!

So Taizaros actually met Delros when he was a fledgling Balance Keeper. And seeing that Delros has a 7,000-year-long lifespan, Taizaros wanted to kill Delros and devour his heart while channeling an Elemental Poison spell into his teeth to absorb Delros's potential lifespan so that he could extend his own.

And minor spoilers for all four books in The Fenrathae Saga, the Second Keepers' Trial in all four books involves each group of Revered Vessels having to kill the Fallen Deity that exists on their respective planet. So because Book 1 takes place on Leytovar, and Taizaros was sent to Leytovar after being stripped of his immortality and Universal magic, Kae, Ellira and Lerosenn have to kill Taizaros!

This image contains minor spoilers of what might happen once the trio reaches the Lake of Silence, which is where Taizaros dwells.

And yes, Taizaros does recognize the presence of Delros's soul within Kae. And Delros took a thousand years off of his lifespan by stabbing him in the head to make him go dormant for a thousand years. So Taizaros has a massive vendetta against Delros.

Hence why he's grabbed Kae, and why Kae is clearly panicking. But I've seen enough hentai to know where-

Okay, no. I can assure you that Kae goes through nothing of that kind of thing in Book 1! He does develop a deep fear of tentacles and any creatures that have them, due to certain events here and later on in Book 1....
