Wait. WAIT.
Kuo-Toa are native to the Underdark. One of their racial traits is that they make up deities and have such STRONG faith in them that they manifest actual divine powers.
When Drizzt leaves Menzoberranzan, he stumbles onto a tribe of Kuo-Toa. He beats an enemy in front of them. They fall down at his feet and praise their new god. He is confused but sticks around because the fish-people are so nice to him and he's lonely. In return, he protects them and teaches them to fight better (and also reins in their murder instincts). The tribe prospers. Their faith grows.
By the time House Do'urden hunts him down, they're facing a small-god with a fishman army.

Fan Work Friday
Hey look, I'm actually doing this on a Friday! Tagged by @bragganhyl.
Rules: if you're tagged, make a new post and show off one piece of fanart and one fanfic you like!
Fic: The Dunryd Archives (Pillars of Eternity) by dragonologist_phd (@dragonologist-phd on tumblr)
My mother once told me those names are the people who were cremated in those fireplaces. It’s not as common a practice these days, but back when the Citadel was new and people still worshipped the old gods, it was apparently custom for Magranites to dispose of their dead in that manner. To tell the truth, that always freaked me out a bit. I knew the bodies were already dead and it didn’t matter, but I still had this awful idea that they could still feel it; the flames eating at you, peeling away at your skin, consuming you until just a handful of dust remained. My great-grandparents were cremated, you know- I guess we had some Magranites in the family at some point, and the traditions stuck. Mom showed me the urns when she told me all this, and it just seemed so strange to me. I remembered the time I burned my hand on the stovetop, and how the skin on my fingers and palms blistered off at the heat. How much more heat would it take to reduce a whole person into something that was so easily scooped into a jar?
...so I've never listened to The Magnus Archives. However, AUs that remix canon in a fun way while keeping as much of the lore as possible are My Jam, and this is exactly that. I've been meaning to keep reading this for a while and ended up reading chapters 3 and 4 to make this post specifically, and hooo boy I'm glad I did because apparently I stopped just before the fun stuff started happening.
Fanartist: @ritelli-main
Honestly I just wanted an excuse to show off this art blog? ritelli's art style is really cool and she draws a lot of fun dnd-related characters and environments. This one is Legend of Drizzt fanart (I think), and, while I haven't read the books so I don't have the full context, the colors and shapes are just. Really Cool to me.
tagging: @solas-backpack-mug @curiouslavellan @layalu @ndostairlyrium @apeirotilio if any of you feel like it!

i usually draw cutesy/goofy/sad things about kimmuriel falling in love with jarlaxle and save the horrible emotional dynamite bits for RP purposes but Make No Mistake
I think Kimmuriel Oblodra, a man who has gotten it hammered into him from the moment he became an Oblodran that psionics is about having absolute control and perception of your own brain and is also kinda about pinning every emotion to the wall like a butterfly in a bug collection, would be absolutely fucking strung out and horrified by the fact that he's head over heels for jarlaxle because He Has No Control Over This Whatsoever
