save me senior cat on petfinder, save me

[kohiandie]

it has been so stressful! between the big family of five having mange, two of the 'pregnant' moms not being pregnant (but were spayed), & robin (tiniest gal found in a parking lot) is bound to pop any day now... we've been all over the place.

we are so exhausted and tired just as we're sure just about every rescue and shelter worker is these days. hanging in there & still working on our usual stuff, new merch, commissions, vlogs, etc. but thank you for the patience & support!

you can help us save more lives & cover medical expenses with our rescue for all our fosters via our shop, patreon, or even just giving a share on whatever platform you catch us on. :-)

From Obscurity Update!

“Are you courting me?” Rio said.

Agatha snorted. “It’s a gift for Benji.”

Rio laughed. ��Right, so it has nothing to do with me.”

“I’m worried for their safety. I could have dropped it when it was in my care.” #AGATHARIO

Zevlor's Helmite Oath

Zevlor was a Hellrider from Elturel and a paladin of Helm - the god of guardians - as you may already knew from the description of his "Hellrider's Pride" gaunlets. As someone who is not familiar with DnD lore, I did some digging to gain insight about the nature of Zevlor's oath and the circumstance around his oathbreaking. Might as well share what I found :)

Helm is a lawful neutral deity, whose principle can be seen as cold and rigid as he favors one's sense of duty and commitment as a protector, guardian and defender above all else. The dogma of Helm's faithfuls can be sum up as follows:

Guard perfectly, attentively, and with forethought; be ever vigilant. Guard what you are ordered to guard, including that on which your charge depends.

CREED OF THE HELMITE FAITH.

I was not surprised to learn Elturel was home to the strongest Helmite Church in the North. With the famous Hellrider as the citywatch and its strict rulings, Elturel is known to be the most efficient, secured and well-policed city in the region. It's natural for Hellrider to be among Helm's faithful, and I can imagine their paladin's oath is to safe-guard the city and its citizen to their last breath.

I'm not sure in BG3 timeline if the tieflings were forcefully evicted from Elturel, or if they left on their own accord to avoid violence and bigotry against their kind. But either case, Zevlor most likely broke his oath for simply leaving Elturel to lead and protect the tiefling refugees.

In principal, the church of Helm is to welcome whomever come seek their protection, even criminals. However, it's also their duty to turn them in to law enforcement if required, and see their trial to proceed fairly. That means, when the tieflings were deemed as a dangerous minority in the eyes of Elturian, Zevlor and fellow Hellrider must abide to the laws determined for them, or resist and face the repercussion:

All true warriors of Elturel were most likely Hellriders. Those who resigned were stripped of their gear, exiled from the city, and named a heretic in the eyes of Helm for abandoning their post.

Taken that Zevlor still had his gaunlets and his sword, I'm convinced he helped the refugee leave the city in secret. He sentimentally kept the gauntlet out of all the parts from his Hellrider plated armour, because you guess what? A silver gauntlet with eye is Helm's holy symbol. This proved he still held onto the Helmite failth, despite being stripped of the God's divine grace for his moral decision. He owned his choice by leaving the rest behind along with his title, but still took it upon himself to be the guardian of his people. That's why when you came along and protected them from the goblin, which allowed them to travel to Baldur's Gate, the Hellrider's Pride became yours. As for Zevlor, it seems to me he was ready to truly rest, which shows in his conversation with Tilly, too.

In Act 2, we see Zevlor seeking to restore his oath and fell victim to the Absolute; this is not the sign of him wanting to taste the glory again, but simply because the journey through Shadowcurse land has proven to be overwhelmingly dangerous. Zevlor might have viewed himself as a liability, not only due of his old age, but also his lack of dark vision despite being a tiefling. I believe whatever the watchful Helm bestowed on paladin Zevlor back in the day must have compensated nicely for his lacks. And ironically, with the innate darkvision that allows for better guard, the tiefling Hellrider were supposed to be valuable members in their unit. Until Elturian decided those with infernal heritage are somehow a threat to their hypervigilant society.

Just saw this post and now I'm almost in tears. First of, adopt don't shop. And second this little angel looks almost exactly like my sister in law's little senior citizen who I love with all my heart.

I understand that it's difficult to deal with everything that comes when our pups get older and need more medical care, help and it all is emotional, too. But these dogs have given us their whole life's. They deserve every little bit of love throughout every moment, too. Even the tough ones.

This made me so emotional for so many reasons but ultimately this is worth the whole world for this little older soul and that makes me incredibly happy ❤️
