Plz give me some feedback on her facial features - I'm in two minds abt her. On the one hand I feel like she's got very Oblivion Bosmer features, on the other she might look like a wrinkled baby with a sour grimace so that no one ever would empathize with her.

A bit too late to submit for @nerevar-quote-and-star pin-up challenge but I loved the prompt ideas sm that I couldn't resist painting spellcrafting Ildari :3

some stuff about the practice of ancestor veneration in velothi households

when a baby is born a grandparent or parent anoints it with ash from the hearth and introduces it to the house spirits by showing it to the waiting-door. the family member presenting the baby might also ask a particular spirit to serve as the baby's cardehn (ancestor-guardian); that ancestor is then expected to keep a close eye on the baby throughout its life and offer guidance, counsel, or protection when needed

on the other hand many families hold off on petitioning a specific ancestor to act as a newborn's cardehn so that the baby is free to choose for itself once it's old enough to decide. many children without an appointed cardehn wait until the passing of a close loved one (usually a family elder) and choose them

after your family's patron god and any very prominent or recently-deceased ancestors your cardehn is the first household spirit whom you're expected to invoke in prayer. when you're old enough you're also expected to take charge of the family's veneration of that particular ancestor by burning routine offerings for them

when a member of the household is dying a simple meal is set out in the room in which they're being tended; after the family member passes on their caretakers and any others who kept vigil at the deathbed eat half of the meal they'd prepared. the other half is burnt as an offering for the spirit or spirits who came to help the deceased "through the fire" (fire, particularly one's hearthfire, being considered a passage between the realms of life and death in the velothi consciousness)

when mourning a loved one it's customary in some families to cut off a lock of your hair and burn it as an offering in addition to the usual offerings of food. cutting and burning all of one's hair is a wild expression of grief that's usually only performed by people who have lost a loved one unexpectedly or parents who have lost a child

Hi, if you want a good fanfic with the greatest sexymen of Solstheim (Teldryn and Neloth ofc) do check out "Breathing Water" by @thana-topsy

I fell for this writing, every character's personality is pinpointed and the plot and descriptions are immersively realistic <3

Thanks @thana-topsy for tagging me, such events are usually a goldmine of good music.

My OCs are still largery in developement measure and I've made like 4 posts abt them but fack it lol I've got a perfect song for this occasion :3

Song: Death Magick for Adepts - Cradle of Filth

It's spectacular, a perfect background music for a badass wizard doing God-forbidden things in their dark necromancer lair. Has this profane quality that imo fits the House Telvanni.

Schisandra (my eccentric Telvanni mistress):

And bereft of compass, star or more Set out for this World's end Few at the prow, most slave below Painting coal a perfect gold

Galena (her bitter steward and metallurgist):

Blacker than the Ace of Rapes Dealt out by Death in dark-wood glades Our ship of fools, all boards handmade Sinks, dashed by seismic waves

Nzarek (I haven't introduced him yet, but he's this lil prodigial necromancer on some paintings of mine (and a son of Schisandra and Neloth)):

All damned in this inferno Where even Virgil averts his eyes From the black mass mutual gang rape Of Caesing hands and forced divides

I tag @the-sunlit-earth and I believe that everyone else I wanted to tag has already been tagged.

Song: Francesca by Hozier

Theodora: In any life // If I could hold you for a minute

Valeria: How could you think, darling, I'd scare so easily?

Rochelle: My life was a storm, since I was born // How could I fear any hurricane?

When I escaped the dragon and safely arrived to Riverwood Faendal was the first living being to greet me (well, except the chicken of course xD). He stood there, basking in the sunlight, waiting with his quest. In the distance loomed a vision of our forthcoming adventure in Bleak Falls Barrow.
