a sketch of rihal , a notorious duergar blackguard ...probably the most skilled assassin with poisons/assasinations/dirty tricks at work in the medium sized duergar city of Krian

Rihal , ready for battle !

beholder and the duergar !

beholder and the duergar surgeon ^^;...:D. the duergar have always craved (and hoarded knowledge)...this is a sketch of a duergar surgeon (will qualify as a cleric of same level) dissecting a beholder. the beholder must be young as he is very small...the surgeon is harvesting organs(to make spell reagants from) and also for general study. books/tomes of each creature the duergar fight are written up and given to the martial wings of duergar society. notes- the lamps hold living fungi that are encased in the 'bulb area'...they emit powerful lights of differing colors.

beholder and the duergar surgeon !

orc mages ! orcish cleric and the war ritual ! ^^;...:D

orcish mages ...orcs typically focus on evoker schools(fire magic in particular...but there are also powerful necromantic orders ). mages will be relatively(compared to average orcs) slender as they have historically devoted themselves to studies versus labor and war...altho they are no strangers to the battlefield.

orcish mages !

orcish cleric and the war ritual ...orcs are highly ritualistic...one finds altars a nearly constant presence in  orcish dwellings and a visitor will stand in awe(and fear ^^;) as he looks at the massive monuments to the orcish gods in the major cities. this priestess is performing a dance on one of the battle rituals..before battles the priestesses will perform these ritual dances

orcish priestess and the war ritual ^^:...:D

hellknight ! orcish cleric ! :D

steiner , a hellknight on the campaign trail ...he is leading an army against a group of rebellious townsfolk ^^;....run townsfolk run! :D

sketch of an orcish cleric ...orcs make surprisingly good clerics. a warlike society is in constant need of good healers :D.

orcs ! an orcish skirmisher ...and a sketch of orc nobles !

an orcish skirmisher ... orcish light infantry . used to harass/and scout enemy armies.

an orcish skirmisher

a sketch of a clan of orcish nobles. these orcs control a wide swath of land that overlaps with dwarves and humans. the more provincial, and warlike, orcs are represented by shamans/warlords and barbarians(their appearance is also more 'orclike'-thicker necks more prominent fangs/tusks)...the orcs of the cities and courts(various princelings/merchants/necromancers/clerics) actually more resemble half orcs(thinner faces and fangs that are often filed down), these orcs reside in the lands that border human cities and outposts.

one makes a mistake to assume orcs are crude..orcish guile and cunning is legendary amongst their most hated enemy(the dwarves). orcish court politics would at times make even a drow gasp for breath :D.

various orcish nobles !

various oc's ^^;...:D

mesmer , leader of the local thieve's guild visits the jailhouse ....mildly nsfw ^^;...:D

why is mesmer, the head of the local thieves guild, naked at the jailhouse pretending to be a farmer's wife ^^;...:D? does this call for some backstory  :D

would appear as if the local militia have rounded up a bunch of local farmers-the prince's prized deer has been slaughtered and skinned and the local village is paying the price for the animal's death. the dragnet caught up a roughneck named royston(who is actually a mid level thief) and he has been successfully posing as a farmhand but it is only a matter of time before his cover is blown. enter mesmer :D...the guards at the jail are notorious for demanding 'tribute' from family members wanting to visit prisoners...she makes this a short visit and royston and mesmer are soon off into the night :boogie:.

mesmer the jailhouse visit ^^;

lacerus the god of the imprisoned and oppressed !

 a sketch of lacerus the god of the imprisoned and oppressed :w00t:...
backstory:
his story is one that depends on the one telling it...to the poor and persecuted he is a wrongly imprisoned god-to the powerful and cruel he is cast as a political dissident and a violent criminal....his real story is presented here...

lacerus was a minor god of commerce imprisoned(and savagely tortured) because he had slurred Riggen, the powerful god of war(he was framed in the murder of the beautific, 10 of the most beautiful nymphs-personal handmaidens to the goddess of fertility...). after 400 years his sister Cloma(the goddess of travel) visited and he expected to be released...she said the court had found further evidence of his guilt and accused him of high crimes against the court...they had labeled him an insurrectionist.

truth be told, even at this early date, the handsome young god was becoming something of a folk hero to the masses-a symbol of the wrongfully accused. the gods were petty and fearful and condemned him to a 1000 more years in prison...if anything he was tortured with more ferocity than before...the years passed and the poor, the imprisoned(wrongfully and otherwise), the dissidents-they were his flock....their stories were his and he was their prince. soon he began to formulate plans of escape...

after each escape the walls of the prison were built 60 feet higher and 60 feet thicker...and the punishments grew more and more extreme...still the god endured! after 600 years his sister once again came to visit and told him that if he just held on another 100 years(with no escape attempts)- a movement was stirring that would have him freed. lacerus simply smiled...cloma was rather shocked at his demeanor 'brother after all of these years do you not want freedom...'...'release from this prison...?'...lacerus smiled again and said 'dear sister they haven't built me a prison, they have built me a castle...' ....50 years later with an army of prisoners lacerus slew his jailers and had the massive prison fortress as his own!

notes- a rather long backstory but necessary for a series of sketches of the priests (and of course priestesses :D ) of lacerus :boogie:....

sketch is here on my deviant page...mildly nsfw (male nudity ^^;...:D)
