Ever wanted to be a prophet, handing out tenets from above? So would everyone else. Play a group of supplicants, each vying to make their commands the holy truth for all time.

Anna, Bridge Knight
Likely my last 7 knights for 7 bridges image for the fourth feedback loop (i.e., initial post→first drawing→first chapter→Anna & the Captive Troll).

Troll Captive
Another troll inspired by Judd’s written response to my troll image inspired by his 7 knights for 7 bridges post.
Hel-Space Axewurm
One of my favorite regions of Sharth is Midgoth, where the Vanirium PsyLords hold an uneasy truce with the Council of Aesiroth, and all other sorts of ridiculous twists on Norse mythology. The best twist is the Hel-Space paradimension, ruled by Shub-Hel, the Flayed Queen-Mother, where the damned souls of Midgoth merge with Shub-Hel’s Lovecraftian spawn. For Sharth this usually means lots of eyes and armored tentacles.

Savage Outcast
There are few crimes among the mountain ogres; theft, bloodshed and cannibalism are all acceptable. Any ogre who manages to break taboo is caged and starved until the bleakest night of winter, when the cage is unceremoniously dumped before some dire beast’s lair.
Though the sentence is harsh, any survivors of exile are welcomed back after the first thaw. Some ogre leaders brag about their time in exile, a halcyon season spent in defiance of nature. Of these, a select few even bring back a companion: A barely-tamed dire beast.
