Blurb: Upon the unexpected return of her one and only ex Arthur, college junior Emily Perkins is forced to face the past she worked so hard to repress in the years since their breakup.

can't move this animatic quick and it looks silly with missing scenes
but I hope I finish it someday and I'm very proud of myself for starting it ;w;
You're probably doomed to see 1000 wips of this project
Main conflict of the game is based around a big upcoming change in the supernatural world. People will learn about supernaturals, some will find a place in new world, if technocracy finds them useful, some will extinct. Charlie knew about possibility of this future for the last year.He got a message from his sires with a newspaper article form 2050s, saying that a vampire, a werewolf, a mage and a human starting an exploration flight to start colonization of the Mars. And a photo of a werewolf in uniform killing a vampire. However, no mentions of changelings in that variant of the future T__T
Ok sooooo I'm working on the drawing, buttt I decided too add Melanie with folly! Again I'm still working on it so that's why it's bad, ima fix the eyes they are ugly
WIP Series: Destiny's New Servants- Fangthane's Folly Edition
This is a masterpost of all the writing to do with the Destiny's New Servants campaign from Meredith's perspective as well as the side stories of things that happened 'offscreen'.
Genres- High Fantasy, drama, angst, new adult
Themes- Corruption and abuse of power, Religious schisms and the politics involved, crisis of faith, racism and xenophobia, classism, growing up, good and evil, family (both biological and found)
Synopsis: Fangthane has stood as the shining beacon of dwarven-kind upon Titan for millenia, but the aftermath of the Demon Wars ten years ago has left the city-state with wounds that have only barely begun to heal. Unfortunately, there are those both within and without that would see the mountain crumble. Relations with the city-state of Toreguarde have been fraught since the Drakemari Empire became involved in its construction, but things have been more or less amicable until recently. With the rise of the dread Necromancer, Darkhide, problems both old and new are threatening to ignite a war that Fangthane can barely cope with.
In the midst of all of this, a young cleric of Moradin must attempt to navigate the lies and treachery of her own people to uncover the truth at the centre of all this madness. Whether anyone wishes to listen to said truth… well that’s another matter entirely.
Main Characters
Meredith Gruksdottir: The young cleric in question. Sent to Toreguarde to permanently seal up the Hellmouth under the wizard's tower, now she needs to sort out fact from fiction before a schism tears her people apart.
Jotunn Ragnarsson: The High Priest of Moradin in Fangthane, who is trying to seek out the evil that has taken root within the mountain. All the while, navigating the delicate politics involved in preventing his people from going to war against Toreguarde.
Yoruk Copperheart: Meredith’s fiancé. He has recently returned from overseas, only to find things have gone horribly wrong in his absence.
Ionah Copperheart: Yoruk’s mother. Seeking to gain power by any means necessary.
Skarld Firetome: Recently elected Archlector. Has his own agenda, contradictory to the religion he claims to follow
Garl Grimbeard: Recently elected High Inquisitor. A slimy sort who, like Firetome, has his own agenda very much contradictory to the religion he claims to follow. Has a massive grudge against Meredith and her friends.
Side Characters
Elowyn O'Toreguarde: One of Meredith's travelling companions, and her closest friend and confidant. Started out as a rogue-trained officer of the Toreguarde Watch, has since been ordained as a paladin by the Powers That Be.
Aurianna Aurum Filiae: Elowyn's paladin mount. A young gold dragon that typically disguises herself as a small, golden kitten.
Felix Parker-Tinker: Another of Meredith's travelling companions. A gnome sorceror who likes to make undergarments after discovering a talent for it. Is extremely happy-go-lucky and never seems to get angry. This unnerves people.
Darius Wesker: Human sorceror, aged 16 years old, or thereabouts. Is basically Merri and Elowyn's baby brother during the time that he travels with them.
Quentin Goldenrose: Elf ranger with a cougar as an animal companion to start with. Is the party's tracker and scout. Loyal and steadfast, he likes to tease Meredith quite a bit.
Enezeage: Half Orc monk. Isn't too much taller than Felix and is broader than he is tall. The muscle of the group. He doesn't say much, but he lets his fists do most of the talking for him.
Olin Starhammer: High Priest of the Temple of Moradin in Toreguardde. Is basically Merri's honourary granddad.
