I hope this doesn't count as self promotion, I just randomly googled myself today and found this.
Can I brag a little bit?
Im just proud it came this far, I didn't think anyone I hadn't asked was reading me.
What is your premise, what is the area called, what bosses feature and what lore would you expand on??
Oh Rellana's Twin Blades.
You were almost perfect.
With the grace and might I expected from a Carian weapon.
But alas.
Your luster is nonexistent.
My character is supposed to be a Carian Royal, a spellblade who uses all the Carian weaponry, as you have already seen, I have written a backstory for him.
A noble Spellblade, obsessed with Artifice and FIST FIGHTING.
When the DLC came out, I began searching for MORE Carian weapons/equipment, and found a TREASURE TROVE.
Kung Fu
Carian Spellsword
Perfumer weapons
Carian Thrusting shield.
Rellana's twinblades
The Star Lined sword
Carian Sovreignty
I was eating GOOD!!
I THOUGHT, that the twin blades would be the ultimate chef's kiss to top off my Carian sword repertoire.
(I Have this fun little head cannon that he's mastered his craft so well that his Carian Knight sword can just cast spells and fling magic projectiles)
But alas, there is NO glow to the Glintstone at the blade's hilt.
And before you say it, the spell sword is also a part of the DLC and it glows JUST FINE.
and before you say its because its paired with a faith weapon, I point you to the STILL LUMINOUS Sword of Night and Flame!!
I NEED ANSWERS!!
Is there a lore reason or was it an oversight?
My OC lives in a society of multiversers complete with their own factions.
My OC owns the most powerful weapon in the multiverse, a weapon to end all multiversal conflict and force peace.
Designed by his mother and one other person.
And what happens?
The leaders of the various factions keep trying to snatch it.
Good thing it has a mind of it's own.
Anyway, highest stakes here means his dead mom's partner comes to collect and he aint having it.
Here's some images of my OC using his lightsaber form called "Siy-Yoh" a form reliant on force enhanced martial arts and disarming strikes with the Lightsaber (preferably a pair of Lightsaber Nunchaku)
I am serious when I say that in every playthrough my triumphs end at Promised Consort Radahn.
I have beaten every boss and miniboss in the base game, at least 4X by now, I barely get summoned for my Hunter covenant anymore and I don't get to help people out nearly as much as I would like to.
I've written a fanfiction about this character and his origins, his love for his wife, Ranni, and the friends he's made along the way.
I am STILL working on that story, but I have finished this game.
Because I HAVE BEATEN HIM AT LONG LAST.
I'm gonna get a hundred or so hate comments talking about how "I've already beaten him he's super easy."
But you don't get it, he was literally the one boss I was OK with leaving on the table, he was too hard and annoying with virtually no reward beyond story for beating him.
As it is, all I got out of it was the ability to replace my crappy circlet with a legit crown.
At the very least Melenia was a fun challenge, Radahn just had all these crappy AOE attacks with endless combos and to boot, you dont even get an achievement for beating him.
but I DID IT!!
I REALLY wish we could turn our characters into Nightfarers and transfer them to Nightreign because I want to take this character to the LIMIT.
​
Ok so first off this is a massive passion project, I have used many personal experiences and the nightmares I suffer nightly to create this over the course of YEARS.
I genuinely wish I could show off the video promo I made for this work, but I will have to settle for a link to the TikTok promo.
TikTok Promo: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTknmw339/
JAB-76842 is a grimdark sci-fantasy horror thriller told by a broken soul, made for fans of classic Creepy pasta and the SCP foundation!
Currently working on the whole thing, I am 64 chapters and 410 pages deep into something im not even close to done with yet, but you will get lost in this world.
Will you be able to escape?
If you read, let me know how you feel!
Link to the story is here:

The alien race known as the Enibri are not physically strong or technalogically strong enough to conquer the human race, so using their mental powers they put the whole earth in a simultaneous combined dreamstate as a way of maintaining control over them while they harvest their planet's resources, the dream world is fragmented and trecherous, with some people in a constant fugue state due to their inability to lucid dream, however a small group of people (1/3rd of the population) that are able to retain concious thought and therefore have the ability to influence the world around them.
These people are called Alpha dreamers, and a small sect of these alpha dreamers lead a resistance against what they percieve as a massive evil empire vanguarded by their worst nightmares.

Hello! Im writing a story about my first D&D session and how delightfully strange and fun it was.
This is the beginning of that story!
Let me know how you feel and thanks for reading!!
-------------------------------
Fadron Bulkhead, Peony Bulkhead, and Gallend Gokkan sat together at a corner table in the Gilded Charafe, a modest inn tucked into the bustle of Neverwinter.
Before them stood a desperate‑looking dwarf, wringing his hands as he launched into a rambling pitch about “the job of a lifetime.” He promised payment, good payment, if they’d help him.
Given the strange circumstances that had brought them to Neverwinter in the first place, none of the three had expected to be offered work.
Fadron, a Warforged soldier from distant Eberron, looked every bit the standard model on the outside, steel plating, carved runes, the faint hum of arcane machinery, but he had been designed for something more. Programmed as an Eldritch Knight, he wore a Tyrian‑purple cloak to signal his arcane origins, a flourish of vanity rare among his kind.
Peony, by contrast, was a Therosian lightfoot halfling with flowing golden hair and sea‑blue eyes. She wore a gray Therosian dress trimmed in gold, sandals with fake wings pasted on, archer’s gauntlets, and a matching gray cloak. Beneath the soft fabrics and small frame, however, was an assassin’s precision.
Gallend, the third of their odd trio, was a white dragonborn of origins unknown even to himself. He wore simple white robes and carried a mace, and, more conspicuously, a keg of alcohol strapped to his back. Drinking was the only way he could see or hear Bahamut, and so he drank often.
The three had met under violent circumstances. Fadron had rescued Peony from the circus of Theros, where a cruel ringmaster used her both as a performer and a concubine. After Fadron slew the man, Gallend sheltered them in his church, shielding them from the law. In time, he performed the Pact of Two Rings, binding Fadron and Peony in matrimony, an ancient magic older even, than his own faith.
They were in love, or something close to it. Fadron cared for her with unwavering devotion, and Peony needed a partner who would never harm her again. Gallend saw no reason to deny them the security they sought.
Up until yesterday, the trio had been wrapped up in a lucrative, (if questionable) business venture. Peony had realized that people would pay handsomely for holy artifacts. Gallend, being a cleric of Bahamut, blessed ordinary objects and passed them off as relics. It made them a small fortune… until the ruse was discovered, and they were chased out of several towns in rapid succession.
So when the dwarf entered the inn and spotted them, it wasn’t surprising he mistook them for hardened adventurers. They certainly looked the part, even if they were, in truth, glorified con artists.
Gallend, still stinging from the “holy items” fiasco, saw the dwarf’s mistake as a chance to put distance between them and their consequences.
“So what do you say, eh?” the dwarf asked eagerly. “Escort the wagon, meet me in Phandalin, and the chance of a lifetime is yours!”
Peony glanced up at Fadron from beneath her hood, a strand of luminous gold hair falling across her face. Her sea‑blue eyes met the steady green glow of his optics.
“Sounds like a bunch of hooey to me…we don't know you from a gnome, What’s to say you’re not—MMPH—”
Fadron gently clamped a hand over her mouth, thumb pressing against her lips.
“We’ll take the job, Mr. Rockseeker.”
Gundren’s face lit up with relief.
“Wonderful! Meet me outside!”
As soon as Gundren stepped out of the inn, Fadron finally removed his hand from Peony’s mouth. She spun on him, furious.
“What was that? You’re just gonna let him stiff us? Ten gold each to drag a cart to some backwoods hamlet? And no guarantee he’ll follow through on this ‘opportunity’ of his!”
Fadron stared at her with the same impassive expression he always wore, letting her rant. Gallend took a long swig from his flagon, partly out of irritation, partly because his buzz was fading.
“Ten gold is more than the gold we have now,” Fadron said, cutting her off. His jaw opened, but his face barely moved as usual. “And I’ve been meaning to leave Neverwinter anyway. The gambling scene here has corrupted your views on money.”
Gallend froze mid‑swallow.
“Fadron… did you just say gambling?”
Peony’s eyes widened. “I don’t think he said gambling…”
Gallend stood abruptly, draining his flagon. “I thought you said we lost that money to a mugger!”
Fadron looked between them. “He did steal our money, after Peony bet him she could roll a higher score of dice. She lost by chance. I offered to rob him for the full amount, but she said something in Thieves’cant I didn’t understand, so I followed her when she walked away.”
Gallend sighed, though a smile tugged at his draconic lips as they readied to leave.
“You’re such a doormat, Fadron. You need to stop doing whatever she wants.”
Fadron shrugged. “I can’t keep my composure around that cute little face.”
Peony hopped off her chair and strode toward the exit. “Well? Aren’t we going?”
Gallend finished his tankard and followed. The trio stepped out into the bright Neverwinter morning, where Gundren waited beside a loaded wagon.
“Just get on the cart,” Gundren said cheerfully. “I’ll meet you in Phandalin. Bring it back undamaged and I’ll throw in a ten‑gold bonus each!”
He laughed and hurried off, leaving them with the half‑elven coachman, Amren, who stared at the three of them in disbelief.
“You’re the hired help?” he squeaked as Fadron and Gallend climbed aboard. The cart sagged under their combined weight.
“Yep… thassus…” Gallend burped, sprawling drunkenly across the boards. “Lessgo…”
Fadron reached into the massive wicker backpack slung over his shoulder and pulled out a blanket. He draped it over Gallend, prompting Peony to giggle. It was a kind gesture, if unnecessary, given the heat of the day.
Hours later, the cart rolled through dense woods. The coachman glanced back nervously. Gallend was snoring under his blanket, and Peony slept curled on Fadron’s knee. With his massive frame and her tiny one, they looked almost like a parent and child, despite their being married.
“So…” the coachman ventured. “Do Warforged have feelings?”
Fadron looked up, expression unreadable. “Yes.”
His voice carried the irritation his face couldn’t.
“S‑sorry, Master Stoneface. I’ve just heard stories… about the war that destroyed a whole continent. Centuries long. I was curious.”
“I don’t know anything about that,” Fadron replied, glancing down at Peony.
“O‑of course. My apologies.”
Fadron let out a dry, artificial chuckle that somehow still sounded genuine.
“No, I mean I was made long after that war. By an artificer who wanted a bodyguard she could sleep with, without the worries of attachment.”
Amren blinked. “R‑really?”
Fadron nodded. “After I developed feelings for her, she left. That’s when I met my wife. I saved her life, and now we travel together.”
Amren turned back to the road, still processing, when an arrow hissed past his head. A second buried itself in his shoulder. He cried out and lashed the horses.
The cart lurched forward. Goblins burst from the trees, riding wolves and cackling wildly.
“Shit!” Peony jolted awake, bow already in hand. “I hate goblins!”
Fadron extended an arm, and Peony sprinted up it, diving into his wicker backpack. The lid flipped open just enough for her to pop out and fire arrows, dropping several goblins from their mounts.
Gallend stirred, squinting blearily at the chaos. He tried to stand, only to face‑plant as the wagon hit a bump. Crawling toward the wounded coachman, he muttered a prayer.
Fadron’s forearms split open to reveal crackling stone cylinders, and he blasted a goblin with a surge of lightning.
“Bahamut…” Gallend whispered, pressing a hand to Amren’s wound. Healing light flared, and the arrow slid free.
“T‑thank you…” Amren gasped, only for Gallend to smack him lightly on the back of the head.
“Don’t pass out. Drive!”
The wagon tore through the forest, Peony and Fadron cutting down goblins while Gallend tried, and failed, to drink more ale.
At last they burst out of the woods. The goblins peeled away, and Amren slowed the horses to a shaky stop.
“That was close… Gods, am I glad you were here.”
Fadron lifted Peony out of his backpack and set her beside him. Amren exhaled. “Alright… on to Phandalin.”
“No.”
All three turned to Gallend. He stared at his empty tankard, hands trembling.
“Gallend?” Fadron asked.
“What do you mean ‘no’?” Peony added, "that's our job!"
Gallend looked up, eyes suddenly roiling with anger. “Those goblins are still out there. Until we deal with them, the road isn’t safe.”
Peony groaned. “Gallend, we do not have time.”
His stare silenced her instantly. He turned to Amren. “Is there a time limit?”
Amren shook his head. “I’ll make camp here. You three handle the goblins. I’m sure Gundren would reward you for clearing the trade route to Neverwinter.”
The word reward made Peony’s ears perk. She hopped into Fadron’s backpack and pulled the flap over her head.
“Hey, Fadron?”
“Yes, my love?” he replied as he stepped off the wagon.
“Can we have a pet?”
He would have sighed if he had lungs, this was nearly every day now. “When we find one you can take care of.”
She groaned and disappeared back inside.
Fadron and Gallend headed toward the woods. “So what’s the plan?” Fadron asked.
“Hopefully they retreated,” Gallend said. “If not, we deal with it. If they did, we track them.”
Peony poked her head out. “I can track!”
Gallend gently pushed her back down. “Stay hidden until we know what we’re walking into.”
Following wheel ruts and fallen goblins, they reached the ambush site. Peony hopped out, scanning the freshly imprinted ground.
“There was either an orgy here or this is the trail we need."
Fadron looked at his wife, "What do you mean?"
Peony swiped some white goop off the nearby leaves, "Someone spilled seed here."
Gallend retched and Peony laughed, "I'm kidding it's just bird droppings..but this is where the goblins regrouped."
Gallend gave her a withering glare and she climbed back up her husband and into his backpack.
There was a moment's pause where Gallend simply glared incredulously at Peony, until she added, "we can move on now."
Fadron nodded, barely suppressing a chuckle, a strange reflex given his nature. “That's...that’s our trail.”
They followed the trail to a set of foothills and the mouth of a large cave. Two goblins guarded the entrance.
Peony darted forward before either creature could stop her. She drop‑kicked one goblin flat, sending him sprawling. The other turned to fight, then froze as Fadron stepped into view. He dropped his spear and bolted into the cave.
“Great,” Peony muttered, finishing off the prone goblin. “Better get after him.”
Gallend chuckled as they moved inside. For all her chaos, the halfling was very good at what she did.
They are literally the same in so many ways that I find it laughable that you guys bash her kit so much.
Yea she's new and yea she's a bitch, but y'all need to face the fact that your hate for Warmonger is unoriginal and sad
My retirement from the For Honor community has gone so well, I have embraced a playstyle that is resemblant of my time in For Honor.
I am cancer.
The Guard tower cancer.
Nobody can stop me for long.
