[OC] [ART] WANTED: The Thieflings – by Catilus

WANTED: The Thieflings

The wanted poster of three tieflings I sketched! Also got a vandalized version!

Characters: Promise, Tiefling Ranger; Oath, Tiefling Rogue; and Reverie, Tiefling Necromancer

Promise was exiled with her twin brother Urrai from their hometown of Elturel during a purge that attempted to remove any infernal influence on the city after its return from the hells.

She Urrai began to wander the countryside until they found their way to Baldur’s Gate where they lived on the streets, using their various skills to survive and thrive as thieves.

Eventually they met a third Tiefling named Reverie, and the trio formed "The Thieflings", a gang that would eventually gain some (dubious) reputation.

Promises' skills as scout helped keep watch for possible marks or dangerous locations, Urrai was the thief who could bypass locks, and Reverie was there with magical support and a handful of goblin minions to help get them out of trouble.

A troubled teen, Urrai (later Oath) spent his life stealing and robbing from those he could. Working with his sister, Promise, he did all he could to scrape by, mostly resenting his parents for making deals with devils to make things easier for themselves. Now he and his sister have to suffer

Oath mostly distrusts mages, but knows that they suck at making deals, and likes to take advantage of that fact.

Confidant in his skills of manipulation, he does what he can to trick his way out of situations. If that fails, then he relies on his deft hands and his sister to escape from most problems. However, deep down he's just a hurt young man that's too afraid to let people get close to him.

Mere (Reverie) was born in the winter of 1489 DR, under the cold, harsh skies of Icewind Dale in the small settlement of Caer-Dineval. Her birth was not celebrated with joy and love, but rather with fear and revulsion, for Mere was a tiefling. Her human parents, unable to overcome their prejudice and fear, abandoned her to the merciless snow. It was the lord of Caer-Dineval, Crannoc Siever, who found her and brought her into his home, saving her from certain death.

Eventually, Mere journeyed to Baldur's Gate. The city's bustling streets and cutthroat inhabitants overwhelmed her. She was robbed, losing all but her spellbook. Though she had the potential for godlike powers, she needed worshippers to tap into it, leaving her vulnerable.

After leaving the adventurers to seek her new life, she was left with only the clothes on her back, a spellbook, and a spell component pouch. Despite this, she managed to stay on good terms with her former rescuers and convinced one of them to hire out three goblins in their employee.

Her story took another turn when she met Urrai and Promise, two tiefling siblings. Together, they expanded their gang, with the goblins acting as their eyes and ears, keeping them safe. Today, their notoriety has grown to the point where they have a bounty of 500 gold pieces on their heads. But despite the odds, Mere remains undeterred, standing at the head of her gang, a beacon of awe-inspiring power in the murky underworld of Baldur's Gate.

[OC] [ART] Valtherixia, Tiefling Paladin, Riding her Hellmoth – by Catilus

Valtherixia, Tiefling Paladin, Riding her Hellmoth

A powerful tiefling paladin riding her majestic hellmoth greater steed I drew for Cute Creatures Compendium 2!

Character: Valtherixia, Tiefling Paladin

Valtherixia was once a prideful erinyes serving under the Arch Duchess of Hell Glasya. However, after a failed scheme against a rival chain devil and its master, she was demoted, stripped of most of her powers, bound with an infernal pact of servitude, and banished to the prime material plane with a list of objectives to complete as recompense for her failure.

Upon completing the list, her status as one of hell’s elites will be restored, but perhaps Val’s plans and ambitions will lead her down a different path…

About Hellmoths:

Likes: strong lights, hot winds, battle-hardened riders

Dislikes: self-righteous creatures, whining, cowardice

Flying high, fast, and often headlong to danger, hellmoths are rebellious fiends that refuse to submit to any form of authority or control. Deeply chaotic but neither good nor evil, hellmoths will literally do whatever the hell they want to seek thrill and adventure, including reckless flights to the world of mortals where they are often mistaken for dangerous and demonic corruptors.

Sometimes, a hellmoth will accept a rebellious and battle-hardened rider to fly free with it for a while, especially if the rider is eager to embark on chaotic adventures.

Greater Steed. At the gamemaster’s discretion, a player character who can obtain a greater steed through magic may choose the form of a hellmoth for their greater steed.

[OC] [ART] Magical Oddities – by Catilus

Magical Oddities

Five unusual magic items I sketched!

Timeline Codex
An ancient magical book capable of showing possible futures. Rather than predicting one fixed destiny, it reveals different outcomes depending on the choices someone makes or doesn't make.

Rosane's Stone
 An ancient, fractured tablet, covered in several forgotten languages, is a major discovery for translating ancient texts and languages.

Portalatrix
A portable magical device that unfolds into a temporary gateway, allowing travel between locations before collapsing again.

Yesterday Jar
Stores memories inside a sealed container. When opened, fragments of the past escape as ghostly visions that can briefly be witnessed again.

Shard Mirror
A magical mirror fractured into floating pieces. Each shard reflects a different possible outcome or alternate future instead of a normal reflection.

[OC] [ART] Discordia, Human Artificer, with a Young Moon Dragon – by Catilus

A talented artificer with her young moon dragon friend I drew for Cute Creatures Compendium 2!

(Discordia is wearing several items I’ve made!)

Character: Discordia, Human Artificer, with a Young Moon Dragon

Discordia and her twin sister Pandora were raised by a guild to use their talents to the benefit of the world. Discordia had a thirst for knowledge and a great talent for languages, and as she grew, she became absorbed in studies related to magic.

Discordia became a responsible adult, while her sister had always been more unruly. When they were old enough, Discordia and Pandora set out with their father to gain firsthand knowledge of the world and receive blessings from three goddesses.

Eventually, Discordia found a man to spend her life with, but an evil god meddled with the blessings of her wedding, darkening her big day. Soon after she surpassed her guildmaster in skill, but a vampire showed her powers she did not yet possess, and she sought out to obtain them without losing her humanity.

In the land of the Red Desert the moon god gave her guidance to find the robes and staff to fulfill her destiny, and she aided an elven nation seeking to migrate to an unspoiled island through the lands of the mountain people. This was just the beginning of her adventures…

About Moon Dragons:

Likes: moonlit activities, meeting lunar deities, good humor

Dislikes: being underground, magical darkness, deceitful shapeshifters

Glinting softly as they soar across the night sky, moon dragons are both guardians and wonderers of lunar mysteries. Majestic, curious, and cheerful, these masters of pale skylight retain both their humor and their deep wonder for the oldest secrets of the world throughout their lives, from clumsy hatchlings to exalted wyrms.

Moon dragon will often laugh at would-be aggressors and answer threats with sharp humor, making them difficult to provoke. However, if angered, a moon dragon will fight with ferocity and unleash deadly blasts of focused moonlight upon its enemies.

Revealers of Truths. Their deep connection to lunar magic grants moon dragons the power to uncover what is hidden and reveal the true nature of shapechangers. Many therianthropes, including powerful werewolves, strongly dislike moon dragons and consider them natural enemies, but that enmity is not mutual as moon dragons are often indifferent to and sometimes amused with creatures that change their shape under the light of the moon.

Midnight Dreams. Whenever midnight finds them sleeping under the full moon, moon dragons have vivid, and some say prophetic, dreams. Many moon dragons dismiss these dreams as mere fantasies, but others act on them, undertaking quests to discover whether a dream was a glimpse of the future or an insight into some deeper mystery.

Lunar Humor. Most moon dragons have a notable sense of humor that is tied to the moon and its phases. When the moon is full, their jokes are boastful and direct, but as the moon wanes, their humor becomes progressively more cryptic, eventually morphing into humorous riddles when the moon is new again.

Moon dragon wyrmlings may make funny faces and joke about bodily functions, youngsters may play practical jokes on each other, adults may craft elaborate comedic stories with underlying educational messages, and ancient wyrms may sometimes indulge in legendary puns, triggering laughter, cringing, and sometimes both.

[OC] [ART] Lady Iltani, the Silver River, Moon Elf Moonwalker Bard – by Catilus

A mysterious moon elf bard who leads a double life from our campaigns in Theomachy!

Character: Lady Iltani, the Silver River, Moon Elf Moonwalker Bard

Hailing from a long line of magically inclined diplomats of the elven nation of Timinhur, Lady Iltani’s fate as one of the senior ambassadors of the nation had been decided since she drew her first breath under the pale moon. She spent decades mastering etiquette, fine magic, and the intricate diplomatic protocols between the elven nations.

But Iltani’s heart yearned for freedom and careless fun. At night, she watched in silence as the legendary moonwalker bards of Timinhur danced under the moonlight through the streets of the capital, having left behind their responsibilities to indulge in all of life’s finer pleasures.

Unwilling to escape her duties, but also unable to forget her dreams, she devised a plan to accommodate both her obligations and her passions. For a few nights each month, she leaves her inhibitions in her austere office and dons a crescent mask made of silver, becoming the mysterious moonwalker known only as the Silver River. No one knows the identity of the Silver River, and the moonwalkers don’t even care to pry as long as they enjoy her fine company.

However, after living as a diplomat by day and as a moonwalker bard by night for a few years, Lady Iltani has started to suspect that she is not the only upright citizen to don a mask and leave etiquette behind to become a moonwalker. Perhaps most moonwalkers lead different lives under the sun…

[OC] [ART] Durma Frostpaw, Half-Orc Barbarian (plus Nebo, her trusty bear!) – by Catilus

A defiant half-orc barbarian from our games in Theomachy!

Character: Durma Frostpaw, Half-Orc Barbarian (plus Nebo, her trusty bear!)

Durma is a strong and independent warrior who roams the frozen mountains and wild plains of what is now the Empire of Krestovo. As the last of her tribe, she has sworn vengeance against Gorg, the god of war, and his followers for decimating her people.

Living off the land and employing hit-and-run tactics, she has defeated many of Gorg’s red crusaders. However, a reclusive shaman warned her that waging war against the god of war himself is madness, as Gorg’s rage will eventually consume anyone who fights him.

Despite the risk of losing her mind in Gorg’s bloodlust, Durma is determined to cleanse her ancestral lands from the god’s red crusaders. During a particularly harsh winter, Durma saved a lost bear cub from certain starvation, naming him Nebo. Since then, Nebo has been her trusty companion in her fight against the Empire of Krestovo.

[OC] [ART] Princess Anufer and the Sphinx Kitten Twins – by Catilus

Princess Anufer is getting ready for her coronation with the help of her two sphinx kitten friends, Nema and Amen.

Character: Anufer, Princess of Per-Menoth, Sun Elf Arcane Fighter (plus Nema and Amen, the sphinx kitten twins!)

As the heir apparent of the legendary elven kingdom of Per-Menoth, Princess Anufer always strove to be an example for her fellow sun elves. Elegant yet reserved, regal yet studious, Anufer was destined to become the next queen of the sun elves and defeat Pelia, the warring goddess of the sun.

Princess Anufer’s coronation was to take place the day that culminated her much anticipated royal wedding to Prince Ankhator of the elven kingdom of Khemhotep, a historic event that spanned ten decades and took place across hundreds of ceremonies between the royal courts of Per-Menoth and Khemhotep.

However, on the day of her coronation, Anufer tasted treachery as the kingdom of Khemhotep descended whole to the deepest hell, Pandemonium, as part of a mad scheme to claim ancient demonic magic and dominate the multiverse. The descent transformed the citizens of Khemhotep into demon-elves, and Anufer’s betrothed, now the Demon-King Ankhator, proposed her to become his demon-queen. Anufer refused the gift of demonic power and used her dual training in the arts of magic and war to escape Khemhotep just in time to retain her elven essence. Now, Anufer must find new allies in a world that has forgotten elves and seek to right the wrongs of those sun elves who betrayed their very nature.

[OC] [ART] Xerribex, Demonborn Planar Sentinel Ranger – by Catilus

A fearsome demonborn ranger who now fights to protect the world of mortals in our campaigns in Theomachy! Xerribex is wielding the Reaver, a D&D item I made!

Character: Xerribex, Demonborn Planar Sentinel Ranger

Born in Maleficum, the dimension of demonic magic, Xerribex is a powerful ranger who walks the fine line between dimensions, protecting her fiery home and all that is precious to her. Xerribex was destined to be a ruthless champion, punishing the agents of the warring gods as well as innocent mortals indiscriminately.

However, after meeting Sir Delric Thorson, a theomachist paladin who had been enslaved in Maleficum, she began to wonder about morality. She claimed Sir Thorson as her personal slave, seeking to prove him naïve. But during their travels together, the good paladin was able to show her the value of mortal life, making her realize that the true threat to Maleficum, and the entire creation, is the war between the gods.

Now, Xerribex uses her unique heritage to freely travel between demonic dimensions and fight the warring gods who threaten to undo creation itself in their mad bid for supremacy.

[OC] [ART] Huata of the Waves, Druid of the Sea – by Catilus

A determined druid from our campaigns in the Theomachy setting!

Character: Huata of the Waves, Druid of the Sea

Born inside her father’s double-hulled voyaging canoe during her tribe’s sea exodus from a volcanic eruption, Huata always felt a strong connection to the sea.

When Temahua, the ancient volcano, woke up after an epoch of slumber, Huata’s people had to migrate east and carve a new life on strange islands where Temahua’s anger did not choke the sky in smoke and rain cinders on the sea. Yet Huata always yearned to sail back to Lakuu, the ancestral island she never knew.

As a young woman, she learned to use the stars to navigate the countless islands of Draconesia, hoping one day to sail under the shadow of Temahua’s smoke and see the island her people had left behind.

As soon as she reached adulthood and was entrusted with precious tools, she repaired and maintained her late father’s double-hulled canoe in secret and bid her time. On the morning of the annual courtship dance instead of donning a garland of fresh flowers, she dragged her father’s canoe back to the sea and sailed west, despite her elders’ wishes.

For days she sailed towards Temahua’s endless pillar of smoke, weathering storms and battling her own loneliness. Yet one day, the sea spoke to her, and she was alone no more. At first, she feared the angry volcano had struck her with madness, but as the days passed by and she was about to sail under the shadow of Temahua’s smoke, the spirits of the sea showed her how to harness the magic of nature to make the wood of canoe sprout flowers that bore fruit overnight, and how to whisper to the spirits of the wind to persuade them to keep her sails full and the air around her clean. She realized this was the fabled magic of the ancients, the same magic that once brought life to barren islands, so she knew what she had to do.

An entire week she saw no stars at night, and the sun’s rays were only a faint glow behind Temahua’s smoke as she sailed towards Lakuu, the island of her ancestors. When she finally stepped on Lakuu, she had to trudge through knee-deep soot and cinders to reach the ancient stone circle in the island’s center. There, she whispered to the spirits, begging them to heal the island and bring new life under Temahua’s volcanic ash. To her surprise, it was Temahua himself who answered back, offended that a mere human dared bargain with the spirits of nature, but also pleased that the mortals had once again learned to commune with nature. Temahua told her of his bottomless anger towards evil and insidious beings that dreamt of being gods and threatened to destroy the world in a mad bid for supremacy, and she told him of her people, their customs, and their dreams that he had turned to nightmares when he erupted.

Huata and Temahua spoke for an entire day and an entire night. He tried to scare her back to her people, and she tried to placate him. At the break of dawn, Temahua commanded her to go forth and oppose those who had originally offended the natural order, the evil and deviant pretender gods, the usurpers of life and magic. Huata agreed, pledging her life to restoring balance, or at least stopping the usurpers from tearing the world asunder. Pleased, Temahua transformed his elemental fury to magic for Huata’s people and slept once again, knowing that if more mortals were like Huata of the Waves, when he woke up again in the next epoch, the world would still be there…

[OC] [ART] MERMAIDIFIED: Nadine Fournier, Half-Elf, Half-Angel Divine Sorceress and Baker – by Catilus

Nadine reimagined as a playful mermaid! What exotic delicacies will she cook under the sea?

Character: Nadine Fournier, Half-Elf, Half-Angel Divine Sorceress and Baker, Mermaidified

Nadine is a half-elf divine sorceress whose command of the Eternal Light comes from her forbidden lineage as the illegitimate daughter of an angel and an elf paladin who broke his oath of chastity.

To save her from divine wrath, Nadine’s celestial mother hid her in the rural village of Erzy deep into the mainland of the kingdom of Montbonnet, where she grew up bullied as “ears” and the “illegitimate” for her unusual appearance and particularly her pointed ears. She knew she could just wish the wounds inflicted upon her by the local bullies to close but chose to keep her magic hidden in fear of being accused of witchcraft.

Wandering into the ancient forest of Vertombre after her work in the bakery was done for the day, she became friends with the last remaining wood elf of the forest, Grannie Lorywen, and her half-elven great-grandson, Felynur Greenshade.

As Nadine grew up, her former bullies became her admirers and would-be suitors, but she just smiled and ignored their advances before venturing into the ancient forest each evening. For Nadine, life became good for a while.

Then disaster struck the kingdom.

Overconfident, the new king of Montbonnet had broken ancient pacts and thus defied the will of the warring gods. Odon, the god of eternal life, cursed the kingdom with his plague, the Pale Death, while Gorg, the brutal god of war, inflicted maddening bloodlust to mortals who would open their hearts to senseless violence.

As Erzy struggled with the Pale Death, Gorg’s bloodlust drove hunters from the nearby village of Vitz to attack. Amidst the chaos, Nadine became separated from Felynur and finally decided to unleash her magic to protect the few remaining villagers.

A few days later, theomachist clerics who oppose the gods and musketeers under the king’s service arrived at the ruins of Erzy to restore order and evacuate the survivors. Among the musketeers, Nadine found an unlikely ally in Mousquetaire Magique Eremon Lenoir, a magic musketeer trained in the arcane arts, who was seeking a way to protect the kingdom from divine wrath. With the help of Nadine, Eremon Lenoir began to uncover a web of conspiracies, corruption, and divine malice that threatened to destroy the kingdom. He sought to protect her from these evils, but bravely, she decided to reveal her hidden powers to him and use her magic to protect the kingdom and heal its people. Now, they travel together, more than friends, opposing hidden evils while baking some of the most delicious pastries in the kingdom!

Nadine is one of my own characters in Theomachy!

Shadya dancing delightfully as she tries to win over key figures who could become strong allies to the escaped demon-elf rebels of Khemhotep.

Character: Shadya the Black Lotus, Demon-Elf Bard of Whispers

Born an elf and trained as an entertainer, Shadya was at one point the courtesan of Prince Ankhator, the royal heir of the legendary elven kingdom of Khemhotep. When Khemhotep descended whole to the deepest hell, Pandemonium, as part of a mad scheme to defeat the vengeful gods of Naam and dominate the multiverse, Shadya was one of the first to undergo the painful transformation to become a demon-elf of Khemhotep, forcefully exchanging her elven nature for fiendish power.

Crafty and ambitious, Shadya used her skills to escape the hellish oppression of Khemhotep and the demonic fires of Pandemonium, returning to Naam under disguise. Now, she is plotting and scheming to regain her place in a world that has forgotten elves and despises demons.

Shadya is one of my own characters in Theomachy! You may recognize her from lots of other sketches, illustrations, and homebrew!

[OC] [ART] Raz and Talmi by the Campfire – by Catilus

Raz cooking for Talmi in a campfire after a long day of adventuring!

Raz the Silver Owl, Half-Elf Wandering Healer-Monk

Raised by “Bighand” Bor, a rough but kind-hearted orc, Raz grew up on the road, helping the common folk and training to become a wandering healer-monk like his intimidating orc mentor.

Though Bor constantly warned Raz against reckless heroism and senseless violence, Raz eventually discovered that his mentor spent much of his private time brawling monsters, challenging criminals, defying nobles, risking his life to protect strangers, and sometimes indulging in violence simply for the thrill of it. Inspired by Bor and determined to surpass him, Raz grew up into a brave and optimistic, yet impulsive and reckless, adventurer.

Raz had to abruptly part ways with Bor before completing his training after the two rescued kidnapped children from a cruel circus. Working as a wandering healer under the nickname the Silver Owl, Raz unexpectedly became the hero of a wildly popular stage play called The Graveyard Dance after saving a theatrical troupe from an undead horror.

Now Raz travels much like Bor once did while enjoying his reputation as a folk hero. However, beneath his seemingly unshakable confidence and witty humor, Raz still doubts his own abilities and fears that Bor might have met a terrible fate.

Talmiravanya “Talmi”, Moon Elf Druid and Astromancer

Raised by the elderly moon elf astromancer Darnayan away from the bustle of organized settlements, Talmiravanya grew up studying ancient magic and searching for cryptic patterns in the stars that are said to foretell the fate of the world.

For decades, Talmi met only a handful of her elusive kind and no short-lived mortal as she searched the skies for meaning and observed distant lands through giant-made devices of foresight and divination.

Though Darnayan rarely spoke openly about her visions to avoid influencing Talmiravanya’s own insights, she finally revealed one final prophecy to her sole pupil upon her deathbed. Darnayan foresaw a great challenge that would soon threaten the world. The nature of this challenge was unknown to the old astromancer, but she saw that beyond it, an age of prosperity unlike anything that has come before would await those who survived.

Moved by her late mentor’s insights but still uncertain, Talmi spent more than two decades alone in a ruined observatory made by giants of old, searching for signs that would either prove or disprove Darnayan’s prophecy. Then one morning, just before the break of dawn, she found her own truth written across celestial bodies. She saw that the ancient god of knowledge was still alive and would one day return to usher in the golden age Darnayan had foreseen.

Convinced that the time to act had come, Talmi left her life of seclusion behind and journeyed to the settlements of mortals and the gleaming cities of elves to share her revelations. However, after a lifetime of isolation, she discovered that the modern world is far stranger than the one her late mentor had described, and that most of the other elves have either gone into hiding or have simply vanished.

Even though only one Chosen can exist at a time, the forest continues to thrive despite Joltin’s disappearance. This suggests that the power left behind is either self-sustaining or waiting for something to return.

What do you think? :)
