Check out MEOW! Cat Adventures, my latest 5e book! Magic, Mystery, Mayhem, MEOW: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/catilus/meow-cat-adventures-by-catilus
Nadine is taking Orelyn to the beach for the first time! Orelyn might have read about golden sands and the endless blue of the ocean in musty tomes but seeing the sea in person is a completely different experience! Orelyn is wearing her Goggles of Day, an item I’ve made and ten felim (angel-cats) have also joined the fun! Can you find them all?
Characters: Nadine Fournier, Half-Elf, Half-Angel Divine Sorceress and Baker; and Orelyn, Dark Elf Abjuration Wizard and Archaeologist
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!
Orelyn is a dark elf archaeologist, searching for ancient civilizations in the caves and deep places of her world. Naturally shy and reserved, she focused on her discoveries and her studies of abjuration magic. She spent most of her life shunned and alone, far away from her hedonistic people. Yet, one day she made a groundbreaking discovery that might very well have a huge impact on her world. Now, she's on a quest to discover the whole truth about Stalanos, the sleeping god of the Sunken World, and tell everyone who needs and wants to hear about it.
Orelyn’s adventures led her to overcome her inhibitions and seek out some very powerful wizards. With the aid of her allies, she ventured deep into ancient sites of power before daring to step into the light of the Overworld. Patient, compassionate, and intelligent, Orelyn can't resist getting in trouble to help those in need.
Since venturing in the Overworld, Orelyn has managed to uncover magic secrets and make positive changes while staying out of the eyes of the warring gods and their servants. Naam can be a hostile place, but Orelyn is at ease with her closest friends and allies.
Nadine and Orelyn are my own characters in Theomachy!
About the Theomachy setting:
In Theomachy, vengeful gods fight each other for ultimate control of the universe, while the mortals of Naam struggle for power on a dying world. Divine magic is a force without expressed will that the warring gods hoard and wield against each other, threatening to undo the entire world. Clerics and paladins are either devout followers of the warring gods or theomachists who fight against the gods, liberating divine magic and using it against them.
In this god-blasted world, dark elves are refugees who upon being cursed by the gods, sought refuge in the Sunken World underground to escape their terrible wrath. These dark elves are not inherently evil. They are mostly apathetic and sometimes hedonistic recluses who seek to shut the rest of the world out. Very few leave the relative safety of the Sunken World for the terrible Overworld where the gods fight each other for dominance.
