[Strixhaven Battlemap] The Silverquill Campus - Grandloft Hall 32x56

Within the soaring chambers of Grandloft Hall, Silverquill students refine the most dangerous art on Arcavios: the power of language itself. Here, speeches become weapons, poetry becomes battle magic, and ambition walks hand in hand with discipline. Draped in black ink and sharp elegance, aspiring Vainglories and future Eloquents train beneath vaulted balconies where every debate feels like a duel and every word carries the weight of command. The college’s creed — “Sharp Style. Sharper Wit.” — echoes through every corridor of the campus.

Silence Reads Suvi's Letter

(Audio from the Episode 53 Fireside Chat)

Decided to spend 2 hours putting together a sillier piece of @worldsbeyondpod fanart to offset the terribly sad one I made earlier in the week lol

podcastsareforever

God if Suvi dies in the next ep.......I genuinely am afraid they will fight to the death now! Like Suvi Just found out her mom did that to Steel and she wouldn't do that for no reason and I dont think shes in a spot to wheel and deal her way free! So theyll fight! And Suvi will die, either physically or she will be so controlled she might as well be dead, and I will need to take off work to grieve. I love Suvi so much she was just starting to escape!! She wanted one good thing before leaving........but she cant have a good day :( no looney tunes for her :(

What I'm going to say is this: We've spent 50+ episodes with Suvi. And we've seen her in a variety of encounter scenarios. For example: ~ Capt. Emliss. ~ Port Talon. ~ Hakea's Grotto. ~ The Shroud Mountains. ~ Abassin. ~ Reedport. ~ Twelve Brooks.

She has yet to assess a battle incorrectly. And she always adapts her strategy to the scenario (sorry to those who characterize her as a loose-cannon forever on the edge of popping off due to poorly interpreting her actions episode 10, because they missed everything.) So let's look at her assessments and responses: ~ Winnable fight. Employs direct, decisive force to end the combat before losing her numbers advantage. ~ Unwinnable fight. Redirects Orima's wrath to minimize civilian casualties. ~ Fight forbidden by arcane oath. Only takes support actions. ~ Winnable fight. Hard call: catches near-death Wizard Sully in AoE to prevent beasts & shapeshifter damage output from eventually overwhelming everyone else still fighting. ~ Winnable fight. Leverages environment to cut off camped reinforcements downriver. ~ Unwinnable fight. Tactical surrender to Keen to minimize harm to Ame & the fox and provide support (Vandal) to Eursulon. ~ Unwinnable fight. Tactical surrender to Citadel forces to secure the objective: A & E's escape with the children.

Suvi is a tactician. If you think she'd lose a fight to the death with Steel, what makes you think Suvi would start that fight at all?

And I was going to stop here and bury more thoughts in the tags, but I'll resist the urge for once. Yes, Suvi tends to have the worst luck (heh) and toughest road, but bad luck isn't bad choices. But even if you're leaning on her last words in the episode as insight into her next steps in the finale, she said "I'm going to kill her" not "I'm going to fight her." Let's be clear, there is no one in this story with a stronger case for squaring up on Steel than Suvi, and no one that better understands what Steel's capable of. And the reason I'm hopping on this soapbox at all is because we're now one episode away from the finale of Book One, and I worry that people believe that Suvi's arc was about deprogramming from the Citadel. That's what happens; that was never the point. A story about a young woman losing everything (except for two of her friends, and their stories are about stepping into their power and purpose) isn't just a sad story, it's an actively bad one. It feels like quite often the forest was missed for the trees of their interpersonal conflicts throughout the book. Because people assumed her position in the trio was "villain to be reformed before the point of no return via proximity to their inherent goodness" (the Zuko analogy) every disagreement was evaluated as a conflict of philosophy/morality with Suvi refusing the call for redemption. But looking for the underlying cause of their arguments almost always yields a version of Suvi's position as "you've come to a conclusion (and often an action) I do not understand, give me more information" that is overlooked or dismissed as an arrogant (wizardly, for some fucking reason despite witches and spirits being as openly condescending as any Empire mage) distrust of the instinctual wisdom of witches and spirits. But the arc is about Suvi's growth as a tactician. The rows are about Suvi's struggles when she doesn't have enough information from her friends to make confident assessments. The battles are about proving her core competency when she has enough information to work from. The field experience with Sworn is about learning leadership and adaptability. The in-game level up is about confronting the paradigm that was redacting past truths and inhibiting the intrinsic curiosity that would gain her more and better intel in the future. But her ability set is clear, if you're paying attention. And yes, it's absolutely correct to worry about Suvi's current situation. But it's the end of the arc - it's time to show you what Suvi's got now, after everything she's learned. Let's see what a tactician can do with a fight this asymmetrical, because this is actually when she shines.

My Goddess, the absolute Queen that you are @quiddie !! Your storytelling has been rewiring my brain for years now, and I can not thank you enough! This has been an absolute master class in roleplaying, and Suvi specifically will always have a special place in my heart for the lessons she has taught me these past few years.

Thank you for sharing your heart, your art, and your craft with us! Not to mention your brilliant mind 💜

Also here’s a basic version in case some of the outfit details are hard to make out:

⚔️ 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗺! Starmetal Blowgun Weapon (blowgun), rare (requires attunement) ___ This metal blowgun can collapse down to a more portable size when not in use. Whenever you make a ranged attack with it, it fires a special needle instead of a normal one; the needle is magnetically charged and bound to the blowgun. Immediately after making an attack with the blowgun, the needle returns to the blowgun, reloading itself in the process. As a result, the blowgun lacks the loading property and can’t be used with normal ammunition; you can still remove the needle and reload it as normal. If the needle is lost, it magically reappears in the blowgun at the next dawn. On a hit, the blowgun deals an extra 2d4 fire damage; if either of these d4s roll a 4, the target is surrounded by a glowing outline. The outline remains until the end of your next turn or until the target is hit with an attack. Until then, attack rolls against the target are made with advantage, and the target can’t benefit from being invisible. ___ ✨ Patrons get huge perks!
