Atop a spire of a mountain, piercing the clouds, sits a temple dedicated to the Wind God, and to her ancient chosen one, a bird-woman named Nariko. Long since passed on, Nariko's descendants continue to live at the temple, and each day spend some time praying in one of the temple's most sacred spaces: The Meditation Room.
A location from the backstory of one of my ongoing D&D characters, Ninlil. She is one such descendant of Nariko, though she left the temple in order to better understand the world, and thus better understand the traditions of her family. We had a session where we visited the temple, and had a chance to explore not only Ninlil's complicated relationship with her family, but also the many rooms of the temple. One such room, described in vivid detail, was The Meditation Room, and I was so enchanted by its description that I knew I had to draw it. Needless to say, that was a very special session for me.⭐
