“Oh, Ivory… there’s three of me”

It’s been a minute since I’ve posted an edit. I’ve got several lined up but I just haven’t gotten to finishing. This one I managed to get done yesterday though, so enjoy 🥹

I’ll drop an update on the lore eventually

Short summary: Every few years, people across Faerun are unknowingly picked, then taken to serve under the reoccurring Absolute’s army. Every time it occurs, something or someone causes the plans to unravel, and the journey of it all begins again.

The Vale Family has unknowingly found itself at the end of the kidnapping stick for hundreds of years. Great ancestors, ancestors, and parents of the current chosen ended up on the mindflayer’s ship at one point. For now, the only few that matters is Zahrina, and her three children, Zaya, Vahanna, and Zephyr.

One of Zahrina’s daughters is not normal though, and this is part of the reason the mindflayer coup + Absolute army repeat throughout the years. The Dark Urge is an entity who merges its soul into the bodies of others, hijacking what could’ve been. Zahrina, and the siblings have no idea who or what this dark urge is though, only the one infected by it.

“Oh ivory, there’s three of me” - Zahrina talking about her three daughters and how she views them as similar.

My birthday is tomorrow… and I usually have a difficult time trying to figure out what to do or if I’m going out, what to wear. Two years ago my boyfriend (who is now an ex, it’s been a year) took me out to eat and I wore my AoT cloak and just all black cause I don’t really care to dress down anywhere I go. I do what I like even if it doesn’t seem like… the best dressed or whatever

Anyway, this year has been really fucked. Found my dad unconscious on New Year’s Eve… was with him at the hospital all night. For the longest I thought my father would not make it to see me hit the shining age of 24 this year, but he managed to pull through early February after a month of being medically comatose.

It’s for that reason I’ll be spending the day, tomorrow, with my dad at the hospital. I don’t have any friends in this city who cares enough to hang or even be here for me during this traumatic time. I don’t have the guts or courage (I have severe social anxiety) to go out to any establishment by myself. Once visiting hours are over, which is usually around 7-8, I’ll be coming back home to my room where I’ll spend most of that time alone. Either gaming, making an edit, trying to adjust a server I’ve been making for literal months now, or just doomscrolling the end of this country on TikTok.

I don’t know why I even came on here to say this. I guess just to scream into the void of tumblr. I like it here

It’s 2AM

I just finished my first playthrough of Baldur’s gate 3 - yes, my first playthrough, even though I bought the game a few months back lol

I have so much lore about my first Tav, like I freaking love her. And then I made her parents (with the help of Withers 😁), and yeah I just had so much fun!

Zahrina Vale, the woman you are, the QUEEN you are! Savior of Baldur’s Gate…. For now. The Illithid Army will rise again, and when they do, they shall come with a vengeance. The savior of the world still living would definitely only enrage them. So much so that they abduct her three daughters in the midst of night.

BUT ANYWAY! 🥹

(yeah I made that up cause I’m so new to DND stuff and BG3)

Somebody call Gale and tell him to stand next to the White House. Trump needs that (and I’ll salute myself into oblivion as well) Going down with the ship 🫡

That Netherese Orb Blast is taking out all of DC but oh well. It is what it is

Zaella Lavellan

{A lore drop pulled from the game + a little expansion of my own}

Clan Lavellan is known for its seemingly nomadic lifestyle, and their no contact with humans whom they share the cities with. The Dalish found comfort in their surroundings, and usually could be found near off skirts of cities to avoid unwarranted attention from Free March rulers

Zaella was born amongst this clan, and blessed (or cursed) by the Gods to be a mage. Her power grew by the day as she developed into childhood, then adolescence. Both parents saw the power Zaella had, and her inability to fully harness it, so they urged Zaella to seek the keeper of the clan: Keeper Deshanna Istimaethoriel Lavellan. Days turned to months of Zaella being in the care of Deshanna, and away from her family and friends.

When they did return with Zaella gaining better control over her abilities, the clan was facing another crisis as the Templars and Circle Mages clashed throughout the cities. The conflict was so bad it started to spill into the countrysides which pushed the clan to ditch their very temporary living situation, once again…

Zaella created most of her memories in the countryside, and dreaded the idea of moving; she knew no place would be save for them. Keeper Deshanna held similar sentiments toward the area they settled, and instead of picking up everything to leave, she went to Zaella, and a couple other pupils.

They were to go to the Conclaves, and figure out the severity of the situation under guises that would not further put the clan at risk. Zaella, and the others agreed… but along the way they turned back, and only Zaella followed through.

I’m not as familiar with the entirety of Dragon Age Lore (feel free to fill me in though 💜) 😭 Hope yall enjoy what’s to come cause I surely did yap LMAOO

I love games with character customization, and then romance on top of that!!! Had me smitten, but it was veilguard I started with. Before, I had no idea this franchise existed! So half way through veilguard I downloaded Inquisition 🥹. Since I’m restricted to console that’s as far back as I’m able to go, but as soon as the other games drop on PlayStation I’m gonna disappear into some part of Thedas again

Anywaaays! Zyrea is the younger cousin to my Inquisitor Lavellan (Zaella), and the two practically grew up together. As the clan ventured, and settled near the outskirts of the Free Marches, Zaella (who was the oldest at the time) was tasked with watching the youngsters. More than a dozen children were thrown into her circle, including Zyrea who gave any caretaker a run for their coins. The blood they shared was not nearly enough to resolve the chaos that erupted between them most times but when all was settled, they were two peas in a pod.

Zyrea thought her cousin to be one of the coolest kids she knew, especially because of the potency of Zaella’s magic… but it would be that very thing that tore them apart. Zaella’s magic intensified by the day, and her parents, Zyrea’s aunt & uncle, would grow worrisome over the wellbeing of their child. For two of the strongest mages in the camp to worry about the magical growth of their child, it wasn’t a surprise that they sent Zaella to Keeper Deshanna Istimaethoriel for further training. This would be where the two cousins were separated, and the start of a further divide.

Zyrea begged her parents to send her away as well so that she could walk in Zaella’s footsteps; anything to escape the boredom. Beyond the blood they shared, they were like best friends, and the thought of not speaking to the other was overwhelming for such a young kid. Her tantrums grew frequent, and the trouble she found herself in became more severe. For several months, almost a year, she would let those around her feel just how she felt with her cousin gone… but even she saw all the people she was pushing away. She tightened up toward the end, just to keep her friends around - NOT for her family’s sake 😭. This is definitely coming back to bite her.

Years passed with Zyrea trying to navigate life through the stages of adolescence, and her clinging to a new set of friends within the camp. These kids who grew alongside Zyrea were no day at the beach with their families either, and some were rebellious enough to venture away from the camp - closer to the cities they were trying to avoid. It was like a game to them, to see who would chicken out or who would be seen by any nearby wanderers first. She wouldn’t participate often but the last time she did almost cost her life. Templars and Circle Mages started to clash within the city with some of its chaos spewing from within and out into the free world. One of those kids would not make it home, but it was not Zyrea who fell… The quick yelp, sudden squelch, and thud of a body sent the lot of them to scatter back to camp.

The return of four kids, and not five, caused the parents of the missing boy to flip out, reasonably so. Zyrea and the others were all interrogated until she told them what occurred, and what had been going on for a couple of months. Parents would mourn, while others raged… but many others only thought of one thing: Clan Lavellan could be a target or already, somehow, part of this war. A meeting was held amongst the council, and Keeper Deshanna was summoned. They would need a spy, someone discreet, and powerful enough to return alive. The keeper sent Zaella, and a couple of other pupils, discreetly, to the Conclaves. Only the council knew of this.

In the meantime, serious punishments were needed for the kids who ventured too close to the city, risking the lives of the camp, and getting a kid killed. The council suggested, and agreed upon a suspension from exiting the camp + committing to camp duties for two years, which wasn’t nearly enough to bring back the child… Zyrea’s parents knew this, so when the punishment was given, they suggested self-exile. They would leave the camp with Zyrea to find shelter elsewhere, and even that wasn’t going to be enough to appease the mourning. Their journey probably would make up for the loss, though…

Treviso was the destination of the parents but only Zyrea would ever get the chance to enter the city gates. During an attack, and slight capture by hateful people, an ultimatum was given to them: one of them willingly leave with them or they all were being taken away. Her father volunteered to leave but he made them vow not to lay another hand on his wife or child. The deal was struck, and Zyrea never saw him again… Her mother battled with wanting to turn back and return to camp or follow after the people who took her husband. With her child alongside her for the journey, the mother had no choice but to keep forward but her morale faltered. Rations dropped faster than they were able to forage too. Illness swept over the mother but in her denial, she pushed forward for Zyrea until she no longer could.

Zyrea did not adjust to city life quickly and settled in the gutters of Treviso just to avoid pressure from the wealthy. Her food was often stolen from others, and so were her clothes, and any other item she needed or wanted. She had a couple of surface-level bonds but nothing that delved too deeply into her history. They directed her through the city, exposed to her how to live, and after that, she separated herself from them… She thought she knew what she was doing until she tried robbing some Viago guy and ended up on the wrong side of town. Those surface-level bonds never told her about the Crows, but he was kind enough to enlighten her after slamming his knee to her stomach 😭 (I imagine Viago would not play about his coin or being robbed).

Viago questioned her about family, seeing that she was young, lost, and not from the city. He would return her no matter the distance just so he knew she was safe, and to snitch on the trouble she almost ended up in… for payments (like he’s not about to almost get robbed and NOT get any coin out of them in return 😭 he’s getting more money). Zyrea told him the status of her family in the best way she could without breaking down but it was still fresh, and her pain was clear. No coin could mend his broken heart seeing this youngster so lost, so he took her under his wing, labeled her a De Riva, taught her the ways of the Crows, and then took half of her earnings for a couple of months 😭 THE END
