"While the cult of Tráşkūmiş transcended its humble origins in the folk religion of the Tethlandic hinterland, achieving in the early Imperial era an enormous popular appeal – its lay-following eclipsed only by those of the great cults of Runátéde and the Ḳamrine import Némbridātu – one may still see traces of its ‘homespun’ qualities in the diversity of traditions surrounding the god. Most of these are merely hinted-at in the texts of the period: Détūmad writes of how ‘[the] country-people ascribe foolishly and mistakenly great feats of magic and clairvoyance to warlike Tráşkūmiş'; Hlolal’s diaries make mention of harvest festivals held in Tráşkūmiş’ name – a tradition not shared by his devotees in Téth proper."

Figured it'd be good to introduce my main sona on here too! A void-bodied eyeball-headed entity called Eyebie. Always exhausted/done with things, but is mostly a softie.

this is the most like me a sona has ever looked... very telling i think
the second image is all the notes taken before doing the colored drawing!

assorted kenah characters, part 3 of ? - "i didn't mean to pick all pieces with a rectangle in the background but here we are" edition

1. ares: he/him, wevlin. not so much a people person, but runs a matchmaking service with his sister, sera. he's the number-cruncher and the record keeper. he's a little bit the part of me that likes to yell about spreadsheets. a habitual stay-at-home. zyar's mate.
2. zyar: she/her, wevlin. to be clear, she is still in the first image. ares's mate. a scouter who surveys the lands around kenah with her companion, checking in on the farmers, making sure the wildlife is healthy, that sort of thing. spends long days away from home and ares, but they go well together.
3. ssedecim: he/him, zethyl. the guard's primary metalsmith; since the city is relatively peaceful these days, he also makes standard household tools and items. he's a puppeteer on the side, and loves to entertain kids and teach them a bit about his work.
4. vega: she/her, wevlin. a young, budding Visionary who Sees with the help of the stars. unfortunately she has a Bad Religious Parent who oscillates between considering vega's Sight a curse, and demanding she use it for their gain.
5. seliach: she/they, wevlin. studies at the temple of the prophets, writing songs about the champions' exploits, and works as a travelling bard to spread word of these tales. during one of these, she meets vega, and eventually helps her run away from her Bad Parent and back to the temple.
