As I mentioned in a previous post, Bel’s right eye gets a little discolored after his confrontation with Shen. He probably needs glasses some time during third year, if not by the start of it.

Edit: I fixed Bel’s colors a bit, so ignore the color blobs at the left.

Aquila, Candle, King, and Raven. I finished up Izar’s and started on Ikatza’s emblems during yesterday’s stream, so here they are all together.

Brief descriptions of various deities in the Deity AU found in notes by an anonymous author (+ what I’m thinking happened to Erri to cause his transformation into a god of death):

Beltza, The Gatekeeper, Arbiter of Balance and Consummate Serenity, The Omniscience in Decay

The one they call Gatekeeper is a powerful deity that guards the passageways between the living and the dead. To invoke their name is to invoke absolute quiet and stillness and safe passage for the departed, or to beg for the departed soul to remain among the living. Very little is known about the Gatekeeper.

Xanh, Deity and Guardian of the Forest to the East, The Living Tree and Muted Solitude

The one they call Xanh is the living embodiment of the Forest to the East. To invoke their name is to invoke the forest itself and all the quiet it offers. Those who would do harm to the forest never return.

Erregaliz, Erstwhile God of Night, The Once Resplendent King and Protector of His Own, Faded God of Death, Prelude to the Sun

Before his fall, the one they call Erregaliz was a god of night and all that it encompassed. To invoke his name was to invoke darkness and moonlight, a charm to keep the creatures at bay, a prayer to ward off nightmares. 

Earliest known mentions of his name indicate that his beginnings were by no means humble. Though the reasons for his fall are unknown, he perhaps ironically faded away into obscurity, only to have his story inextricably tied to the ascension of a new god.

(Scrawled somewhere in the margins of the notes in elegant script and an ink invisible to the mortal eye, a passage reads: I struck the god Erregaliz from his zenith and turned him into the husk of his undue former glory that he became. While he may yet rise to magnificence once again, he will only ever be a shadow of what he once was. He will only ever be Erregaliz, Erstwhile God of Night, The Failed King, Blessed by the Dying Moon.)

A short time before people began to notice that the god Erregaliz no longer answered them, the full moon showed red to all regions where his influence extended. Many sought out the god in confusion and fear, pleading for his guidance, but he could not answer.

That night, the god had appeared before two brothers who had begged for his presence while the younger lay dying --- anything to provide even the smallest of comforts to ease his passing. They had been good to him, and so the god answered their call.

However, as he approached the youngest and reached out to lessen his suffering, the brothers plunged daggers of ornate gold into the god’s flesh, and the oldest spoke as the god began to bleed, Forgive us, my lord, but we have been promised godhood for returning you to what you should have been. But they should not have been able to see him, and no mortal weapon could touch a god. Weakened, the god hastily returned to his temple, the golden blades dissolving into sickly hues of violet and green. He took his time to recover, but even when his wounds had closed, he no longer had the powers once afforded to him.

For a time his followers brought offerings in excess, begging for the god Erregaliz to return to them. What had they done to deserve his silence? But as many of their prayers went unanswered (because he could no longer respond as well as he once did), they began to curse the one called Erregaliz. The curses weakened him further and twisted him into a god of death (though to be a god of death is no lesser than to be a god of anything else, it is the act of so drastically changing a god’s domain that is twisted), and over generations he was forgotten.

I’m going to refine these deity au designs one day. Might stream if I do?

@teamnova said: Before I go to sleep.... 👕 for ryu feu and Erri... However you wanna do it ;; v;;

They have very different styles.

When will my laptop come back from the war?

Erri was resigned to fade away and join the number of forgotten gods. He would rather have that end than this---to watch helplessly as the only one who would light the candles and incense and protect the crumbling temple of a god who failed his people died for him.

(An excellent scene proposed by @teamnova for the Deity AU | Feu’s outfit)

A crop without fire to appreciate some of the details:

I haven’t decided if Erri’s completely blind in this eye, or if he just can’t see out of it as well (I don’t even know if he’d be able to open it). Either way, he tries to cover it with his hair as much as possible because some days he really hates looking at swaths of magenta stitching and thinking about the person who made them.

@tajimun ❣2 from Tlilli to Erri. (More of like a mask press but yes)
