Horrible, I came back here after neglecting my Tumblr for a very long time to post my OCs that I made into TES OCs and gave lore to.

Rutt was born in Windhelm to a Nord father and an Imperial mother. She’s a rather rare occurrence of a child being the same race as their father over their mother. She has two older Imperial siblings - an (currently unnamed) older brother who’s a necromancer after dropping out of the College of Winterhold and an (currently unnamed) older sister who’s a former witch and current hagraven. Most of her youth was spent fighting with racist Nords up until she met a young Dunmer alchemist named Irarver Sadoia, whom she fell in love with. Rutt wooed him by offering to go out of the city to collect ingredients for him personally. Sadly, whatever relationship the two would have was short lived when Rutt came back to the city to deliver her ingredients to find Irarver had been killed by an aggressively racist Nord. Rutt was basically driven mad at that point, since Irarver was the only person in the city she had a strong connection to. She disregarded her Nord heritage and abandoned the Nines after this point, delving more into Dunmeri culture as well as beginning to worship the Reclamations. Rutt ran from Windhelm after ‘dealing with’ the Nord that killed Irarver and became a barbarian mercenary who knows a bit about alchemy - at least until she met Helnoore.

Helnoore was born in Skywatch on the Summerset Isles, where she was middle child of her family. Her family didn’t even think she was worth grooming to be a Thalmor soldier and were planning to marry her off to some other aristocrat. Helnoore wouldn’t stand for this, being rebellious and chaotic. She falsified documents that her family was against the Thalmor and took passage off the Isles to Elsweyr where she was helped up to Cyrodiil by her uncle, Angamar. Helnoore after that point took an interest in her innate magic abilities and join the Mages Guild, but she would not last long as Helnoore had a penchant illegal magic (mainly levitation magic). She decided to also get some training in the blade, mostly daggers since she got her training from her uncle who was surprisingly well versed using smaller blades. Helnoore took to the roads as a spellsword, with some sociopathic tendencies. She met Rutt after pretending to be a Thalmor Soldier and killing the entire squadron she was with for a laugh.

Talaes Buckingor is a young and naive Breton from Bruma who is an only child to a Breton mother and Bosmer father. Talaes remembers her childhood as a seemingly non noteworthy, the young half breed had a little bit of hard time with some locals because of accusations at her Bosmer father but other than that the young girl had little problems. Her father wanted his daughter to have some connection to her heritage so he taught her to hunt, specifically with a bow. As grew up, Talaes desired to see the world outside of Bruma but it wouldn’t be until she reached her late teens to leave on her own. She decided to travel up towards Skyrim where Rutt and Helnoore saved her from bandits.

Do’shra was born on the border of Elsweyr and Cyrodiil, her mother shortly dying after her birth. Do’shra was immediately taken in by the family caravan of Khajiits her mother was a hired warrior for hence her Khajiiti name and her tendency to use the Khajiiti language and mannerisms. She would grow up among the caravan as the family traveled from a few different provinces to sell their wares. As she aged, she immediately knew she was different from her Khajiiti parents and siblings even if they treated her much like a Khajiiti. As she got older her family confessed about what happened to her mother though it made her respect her adoptive family more. She decided she would take on the role her mother had in the caravan, deciding to live up to her name. In spite of this, when she got older her caravan family urged her to rediscover her Orsimer heritage and let her leave the caravan for a while. Do’shra discovered she did not have much in common with other Orcs and instead became a knight instead who often raided bandit dens for nearby cities. She would inevitably meet up with Rutt, Helnoore, and Talaes when the three and her incidentally decided to clear out the same necromancer den.

Some Dunmer men including Irarver Sadoia from Rutt's backstory, Avisi Indarys (the latest on Cheydinhal's Indarys family at least on my own canon and of course a Knight of the Thorns (but he also calls himself a 'Mageknight of the Thorns' like an idiot), and Dram but this is not /the/ Dram from Redguard but rather I found some out of game text (though it's also probably not canon but I like the idea of it) that the Morag Tong has clones of him and the one in the poc is my take on a 4th Era simulacrum of him (I keep accidental making his belt black instead of brown unintentionally 😭)

6 of 7. Dagoth Gilvoth

Dagoth Gilvoth - Vassal of Dagoth Ur, called "Scorial Claviger". Bestial in disposition, Gilvoth is quick tempered and depraved. Holding a collection of the still beating hearts of his enemies, he bound their spirits to the service of the Sixth House and presided over all revenants indentured to the Sixth House as wraith liege. inspired by @ijiwaruuma ash vampires design and this topic in particular Gilvoth Uthol Vemyn Tureynul Araynys Odros

OC mega dump 👍

Not posted Estani (Tiber wars era) in a while, although I'm regularly yapping about her. So have some sketches I've done in the past while. + oc sheet I got tagged in at the end because might as well put it in the same post

Girls eyesight isn't great. Anyone else keep forgetting glasses exist in TES? (Redguard & ESO)

Someone's not adjusted to the day/night cycle of Tamriel after being stuck in the void for a while

Bonus mum of twins content

She didn't take it well at first. Also, I realise I accidentally gave her the dead anime mum hairstyle so just ignore that plz I just like the style.

Bonus baby Pelagius (I can't draw babies well so just trust me bro)

(In case anyone's curious) I use this TESA: Redguard concept art a lot for period correct armour, I haven't figured out what half of the scribbles on the robes and sash are yet, so don't bully me too hard 😔

For anyone who got this far, I got tagged so have this

She's not specially from a game but a period of lore so age is a tricky one. Also, the family she was born into not her priority (she ran away) but her kids are very much her priority hence the dot above.

I don't think anyone told him while Richton was still alive...

See what a smuggler has to say:

Also remember how many imperial soldiers weren't properly buried (like those poor guys in local dwemer ruins) → got caught in N'Gasta's soul snare as well. Oh no I don't think anyone in the capital would approve of that. Richton is such a scumbag when you think about it...

Ah yes, work with the necromancer whose sugar daddy is Mannimarco. Did/would Zurin approve? Who knows, that’s if anyone even told him. Depends on when his beef with Mannimarco started I guess

Poor Attrebus 😔

A chase down that resulted in an almost romantic trip out in a stolen boat.

Happy Valentine’s Day 👋

Featuring @ijiwaruuma ‘s OC Rene and the oh so terrifying Dram

5 of 7. Dagoth Uthol

Dagoth Uthol - The Ruler of Kogoruhn, called "Aphotic Contriver" and "Ash Marshal". Martial arts, tactics, and strategy are his primary focus. Teacher of venom blooded lessons, he made diamoncut warriors forged for conquest, but not changing, only improving their form and skills. Impeccable in conduct and mindful of ceremony. His deeds prove that the Dunmer are perfect and do not need miracles to gain power, only conditions and the appropriate attitude. He was true heir of the House, but died early and as sign of respect, was trusted to rule Kogoruhn as it supposed to be in the beginning. inspired by @ijiwaruuma ash vampires design and this topic in particular Uthol Vemyn Tureynul Araynys Odros

Have some Zurin doing mundane Zurin things ✨

Character design is (mostly) by me

But the art itself and all the magic is by my dearest friend on Bluesky

Ordered for a special reconnaissance mission from Tiber Septim himself; Dram tries to adjust to Morrowind's blistering summer heat, as well as its fashion as he blends in with the locals! >:3

So I have no idea why, but for some reason I suddenly had no idea how to shade, or color?? XDD so it looks pretty awful to me, I feel like its just as bad as that Teldryn Sero picture I made earlier this year!

Still, I worked hard on it and I tried a few new things, and anything I try that's new, even if I think it looks awful I'm going to post! Progress and all that :p It was fun drawing Dram!

4 of 7. Dagoth Vemyn

Dagoth Vemyn is the Lord of Vemynal, called the "Womb Serpent". Unsociable and bilious in communication even with his brothers, he nevertheless actively surrounds himself with subjects, in exuberant entertainment with whom he discovers new uses for their bodies. The passionate aspirations of the Times gave us the opportunity to play sacred music without instruments and tear flesh without knives. We owe them the opportunity to bless or punish all others with our divine gift, spreading it.

The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard release day \quq/ and so, we did a lil collab with @cerviero <3 I missed drawing that dragon

Using the first free day of a month to show you my take on Dram's mentor

3 of 7. Dagoth Odros

Lord of Odrosal, called "Guide of a Thousand Eyes" and "Vector Prophet of Allegories". He is the first to remind the children of Resdayn of their higher purpose and holds the keys to their destiny, opening the way for Truth into their dreams, after which they in turn find the way to Dagoth Ur. His inquisitive and diplomatic mind allows him to refine our consciousnesses in the same way that the energy-bearing hearts refine our bodies. To the best of the best, he passes on his knowledge of the art of sleepwalking, which he himself uses with a skill comparable only to that of Dagoth Ur himself.

Having lost his face and sight, Dagoth Odros gained the ability to see the Heart Lines, as well as observe the world through the half-slumber of the eyes of the Sleepers.

Drawing some bullshit

Dram by himself

He was fun to draw. and Josh because why not?

Just fucking around with an armour concept.

Dram and his simulacrum by Gray Hamster! (Instagram, VK)

Actually, there's two of them, because I found someone who's as crazy about him as I am 💚 life is good

2 of 7. Dagoth Tureynul

Lord of Tureynulal, called "Hearthrum Drinker", "Breviloquent Taskmaster", and "Gold Skinner's Curate". Scholar and academic, Tureynul presided over dwemer athenaeum with only Endus as equal. Well versed in aurals, recreation of his symphonies by our musicians has melted base iron and warped solid trickster's blood. While tonal magic is not a traditional art of House Dagoth, Tureynul's compositions are undeniably superior to those of his peers, and his mastery is as elusive as it is difficult to earn his attention. Each of his six fingers covered in the own blood from playing and each beads of his jevelry has own meaning in compostion.

Tureynul Araynys

1 of 7. Dagoth Araynys

Dirt Regent of Mamaea, called "Evermin" and "Keeper of the Photostatic Numen". Appointed entrant of Vivec by the will of the Sharmat. Chief artist of the Sixth House, memory was his chisel. Turning thought to stone, he created the so called ash statues and propagated them throughout Vvardenfell. Immune to the concept of distance and length, he carved as far as Cyrodiil without impediment. From his etchings we learn the mighty lessons of multiplication and patience needed for awakening dreams.
