Prowl of the Boreal Valley

On a semi-hiatus | Please donât use my art without permission | My style evolves rapidly so donât mind the older posts | A big games and cartoons enjoyer
The only way me and bros could figure out recording my stream was like that so far so do not mind the quality and the absence of sound, I still got to add the music tho to not let it be completely silent
I have used beast crest, silkspeed anklets and a magnetite dice. Red tools were equipped but not utilized (I just do have fun fighting the boss on my own because I am insane yes)
Also this moment bro
Dare to be stupidly risky sometimes and somehow it works out
Overall this is honestly more like a meme post because for context I am playing on a work file loaded laptop which often lives its own life, so letâs just say that the amount of lags is immeasurable. Yesterday it became so bad that during the stream I had to toggle with settings once more and THIS IS HOW IT TURNED OUT HAHAH
Yes, the resolution was absolutely sacrificed, !however! the framerate improved immediately and that was ways more important, thus the lags no longer being an obstacle in defeating the boss. Though my eyes did suffer a bit. But overall Iâd rather have a shitty resolution but a good framerate because then I can at least control what I am doing yay
My honest experience with the High Halls on Saturday, I was streaming it in discord for friends and somehow cooked and it only took me 20 minutes (around 4 tries from what I remember)
From what I now remember I was using Hunterâs crest with thread storm, magnetite dice, injector band, silkspeed anklets, ascenderâs grip, longclaw and from the red tools only occasional spikes for the choir clappers
With pleasure!!! Me and @prismsoup have been cooking a massive story about our two characters for a long while now, so here we couldnât resist and drew a huge art in response to this ask.
Collab! Tea: Character line art, flat color, composition lightning. Sol: character shading, background art.

ATTENTION ! The story is partially based on Silksongâs worldbuilding, but still follows a completely different narrative. So in a way it can be viewed as its own independent thing influenced by the game. Maybe one day we could realise it as a fan book or a comic or something something, for now just feel free to enjoy our rambles
The story tells about Princess Cora and her family of an evergreen kingdom of Verdania and the Primary Envoy Alto of the Golden Citadel, who is sent to establish a connection between their nations. However soon both Cora and Alto get entangled in the dark lies and plans of the Citadel and end up on the run for their lives. With their beliefs now constantly shifting and conflicting, together they are forced to set off on a dangerous journey in hopes of finding their true selves and saving Verdania and the rest of their world from collapsing to the rule of a sinister tyrant.
Introducing our characters
Cora aka Coriander of Anam An-Asgaidh (belongs to @marinatedsaltea, she/her pronouns): The Princess of Verdania, yet not wielding the real power unlike her older brother, the Green Prince (Ciaran of Anam An-Asgaidh). Despite their often misunderstandings due to their different personalities and views of the world, they still deeply care about each other, not having any other biological family members left.
Speaking of differences, while the Green Prince is more composed, pragmatic and has quite a big but not unreasonable distrust of the world outside Verdania, Cora on the contrary is very warm, open and curious, being full of passionate ideas and seeking potential connections with other nations. While overall being loved by her people and loving them back, she still remains quite lonely and wishes to be noticed and appreciated as much as her brother and his husband, the other Prince of Verdania, and so far it seems that she can reach that only by achieving something as great as them in life.
Cora is very talented in different arts and crafts, often she carries a small notebook in her pocket to quickly scribble down some ideas and thoughts or doodle something, from portraits of bugs she found interesting to some useful inventions that came to her mind. Her melodious voice is especially notable. With Cora being so connected with nature, sometimes her singing can cause pure miracles, getting in tune with creatures and plants around her.
Due to her compassionate and altruistic personality, Cora tries to see good in others and is willing to help even if that might put her at risk. While being a greatly trained fighter, she still prefers to solve conflicts in a peaceful manner. Some might call her idealistic, impetuous and way too people pleasing, and these are some of her flaws that she has to overcome.
Alto (belongs to @prismsoup, he/him pronouns, but it/its can be used too): Alto is the current Primary Envoy of the Citadel, a prestigious yet mostly administrative - and symbolic - role. It is rarely sent on missions, as delivering trivial orders are below its status. Its main role is to represent the Citadel and the voice of the Conductors when negotiating important matters with other kingdoms, and relaying information between both.
It is one of the few lucky pilgrims to not only have reached the Citadel but also have achieved this particular status. Despite technically being part of the High Halls cast, it is perceived as lesser by its peers, and it struggles to find its place amongst the various cliques that have formed over time. Still, it actively participates in gossiping circles and - ironically enough - often plays the role of messenger between them as a way to remain somewhat accepted.
It is not an unkind bug, but it is blind to its own privilege and is very much a coward at heart. It would rather look the other way than face the cost of the comfort offered by the Citadel. It is also deeply desperate for approval and unfortunately finds it best in submitting to the rule of its kingdom.
It is incapable of singing, and merely pretends to do so when joining an ongoing choir. It has never admitted this flaw to anyone, as it would certainly be considered a sin and have him dragged out of the warm safety of the Citadel.
During its free time, it can be found roaming the vaults and the memorium. The thousands of strange beasts and critters of Pharloom fascinate him, and though a lot of his knowledge is rather surface level, he enjoys retelling fun little facts he learnt about each of them.
Overall, is this a tragic frenemies to lovers case? SURE IT IS!! Absolute peak hetslop yaori! You are getting the drama and comedy and epic character arcs and lots of philosophical moments
So far we are not sure on how we could be sharing the story here, maybe for now we will just drop some silly / normal doodles and see how it goes. Hope you had fun reading <3
