[bardic-perdita]

Welcome to my Tav and Durge appreciation blog!

Hey, I'm Perdita!

I primarily post about BG3 and various wonderful Tavs and Durges, as well as a few of my own.

If you're curious to find out more about my guys, I do have a website where I've started to compile some information, artwork, and stories.

More information about my OCs under the cut:

Breoch Vy'sse

He/Him

Lolth-Sworn Drow

217 years old

Draconic Sorcerer (White)

Background: Noble

Breoch is the eldest son of his exiled noble family, and one of an identical twin. He lived in Menzoberranzan for more than a century, using his charm and body to ingratiate himself among the nobility. After a long and messy break-up with his necromancer wizard boyfriend, he found himself strapped to said boyfriend's operating table; his still-beating heart preserved in a jar. He had died: tortured to death by his ex, and then brought back by him countless years later. Just when he thought he'd finally escaped from his ex's grasp, he was captured by the Absolute and trapped on the nautiloid.

Philomena Heath

'Mina'

Human

31 years old

Arcane Trickster Rogue

Background: Artisan

Mina is a seamstress from Waterdeep that keeps the truth of her identity close to her chest. On the surface, she is an unremarkable artisan that diligently works behind the scenes in a renowned enchanted clothing shop; under that façade, however, Mina is a skilled spy with a talent for infiltrating places without being noticed. She is completely forgettable. How she seems to have insider knowledge about the Absolute is a mystery her companions will need to tread carefully to unravel...

Ezekiel (Zeke) Ignistinea

He/Him

Baalzebul Tiefling/Bhaalspawn

26 years old

Fiend Patron Warlock/Gloomstalker Ranger

Background: Soldier

Zeke was kidnapped by a devil named Caedes whilst he was still a child. Caedes raised him as his own son in Maladomini and eventually offered him a pact to grant him greater power. In return, Caedes would be able to treat him as "his own flesh and blood". Zeke found his return to the mortal plane incredibly lonely, so is quick to befriend anyone willing to take the time to get to know him. He's very loyal, trusting and kind, but he does have some...unusual habits.

Shrike

They/Them

Asmodeus tiefling

35-ish years old

Oath of Vengeance paladin

Oathbreaker

Background: Dark Urge

Shrike was raised by their mother, who had run away from her cruel partner and Shrike's father. Shrike had an unusual affinity for violence, so joined the local barracks. Once they discovered that their mother was being blackmailed by their father, they swore an Oath of Vengeance against him and his criminal network. Although they were successful in destroying their father, their time in Baldur's Gate revealed the identity of their true father and their destiny. Lost without their oath, they relished their newfound role as the leader of the Bhaal temple. Their leadership had secured success after success, far more than any of Bhaal's chosen before them, until an entanglement with Bane's chosen resulted in their downfall.

warmup sketch, I don't draw Hael actually looking happy enough so here's a little smile. Normally she doesn't smile with her teeth but I wanted to show off the fact she does, in fact, have a tooth gap. She's normally got bad RBF but she does smile sometimes. Maybe Minthara made her laugh by making fun of Gale and stealing more of his books for her lol.

[mistiqartsillustration]

Couldn't choose between black and white versions, so I went with both xD Might go with black as a print, but this just felt fun :3 *she is up on the merch site!*
