"Can I ask my lord for a new robe?"

The time is ripe for a new raid. Heysel’s inquiry marks only one of many occasions he has considered that she should enjoy a wider choice of wardrobe, ideally as diverse as her skillset. The nomadic merchant by the church lacked the materials he’s looking for, and it would be wise to leave the caravans atop the plateau in peace for some time lest they draw too much attention. Perhaps the castle further north..?

How he wishes he found safer passage into the domain of the Carian family! Such wealth of means and minerals, enviable artisans in service of nobles and scholars, not to mention the historical worth of its many treasures. Even their grotesque guardian dogs, the many-fingered constructs, are remarkably adorned. Cayin allows himself to drift away from practicality into the unlikelier ambitions that could be achieved from those spoils.

Perhaps this time she will receive an attire more scholarly, so that she may wear it in her own studies? For his assassin is a sharpened knife, yes, but also the craftsman of the blade she embodies, and its learned wielder. The robes, if they are anything like the academy’s, could prove a tad cumbersome, but they can surely be adapted… and though the manor stands on the opposite end in the Queen’s lands, Heysel’s home inherited much of its identity from the origin.

Come to think of it, did the line of the volcano’s old ruler not stem from the same pedigree? Perhaps the abandoned holds surrounding it could hide something of worth.

“You shall have it. Though I will have need of your inventiveness to make it a worthy gift…”

What might they find? Dyes that can exalt rags into cloaks? A brooch dedicated to one of the celestial bodies? The dragon eyes fall upon the voidknower, and his mind’s eye conjures delights over her body, celestial in its own right. Lavish pendants, a jewelled headband, soft fabrics to act as courtains for her elegant frame…

She deserves a more tailored approach, like those enjoyed by the highborn. But there is a strange satisfaction in the uncertainty of scavenging, the brilliance that can only be achieved by accident.

“I have... ideas. I would also hear yours.”

#heysel tag - tba #Act II - Rising Lord of Beasts #yellowfingcr #were it up to him she's get one gorillion robes #alas they must make do with what they find... but she can be certain he will give it his all regardless #thank you for the ask!

She's staring at him.

"What?"

Becoming the cosmic dragon (commission for ardchair on twitter, thank you!) happy lunar new year!

#Cayin #stunning art #makes me think of act II Cayin... not just as himself but as the amalgamation of every way in which he manifests #the way his envoys channel him. The way his followers evoke the image of him with symbols and the sound of stomps #and drums if the budget allows (or most likely if they can loot them)#as well as the lingering sentience in the shell of his old body and the unnatural reach of his voice #he seeks to be perceived as something larger. A ghost whose wings spread far and wide. With its eyes set into every crevice #hm... makes me think about how strange his relationship is with his body. With the concept of shape. The boundaries of you #The most obvious proof of you. The gates of you #should try to find a moment to eleborate on that. Maybe even in relation to others since Valentine's Day is so close :y #thanks for sharing Cat :]

the beastoid army destroyed the castle easily once they started using super lions

exactly

#Cayin #he should... he should use super lions. Though he's skeptical about their performance in sieges #unless it's the divine beast dancing lions... he'd be truly so envious if he ever saw them!#He MUST have dancing dragons. Warrior-dancers wanted and well-rewarded

A portrait of Cayin, Lord of Beasts, as he would look in Act II - by the very, very generous @yellowfingcr

#to put it briefly: picture me shouting with joy and jumping around #augh... Bri you have such a gift for capturing him. You get me. I love this so much #an excellent depiction of his act II self #behold this humble lord! (more so of means than of character :y but a lord all the same!)#I told you there was something almost monastic in his primal presentation... stoic pondering creature he is.#But only if you were to ignore all his jewelry! He's so delightfully ornamented. Watch him fiddle with them like the pleased dragon he is #he's also a more 'physical' Cayin than his main verse counterpart and the outfit reflects this. The open neckline was such a good choice!#He may sometimes wear an additional layer over it... the upper piece of a certain dispossesed noble's robe would fit nicely...#but he doesn't mind it like this! He wears his physical strength with pride.#I also really love the hair. And his eyes #This is a lovely portrait ;u; even with the tough competition (among your work) this one is for sure a personal highlight for me #thank you sooo much!#friend art #yellowfingcr

tiktoksthataregood-ish

#if nobody got me I know Heysel got me. She is so real for this #know that if Cayin finds out someone's only saying nice things about his hoard because she threatened them it doesn't bother him #in fact he feels very good about it #'my riches will inspire envy for some and distaste for others but my friend the blade of void and gold should frighten everybody'#when she wants to of course. Otherwise she should get her well-deserved praise #yellowfingcr #Heysel tag - TBA

can you survive the illusions of the snakemen king

#not snakemen in this verse... but illusions are very much his thing!#In some limited capacity at least. It's more about using glamour and illusory walls #he can't perform any complex misleading illusions in combat #well... dragon-adjacent beastmen king is close enough #crack

The Beautiful Woman Soothes the Serpent-King, from Andrew Lang’s The Violet Fairy Book by Henry Justice Ford (1901)

#art #Helena tag - TBA #maiden or knight... perhaps the secret third option: witch!#but a good one. A pleasant one. One that soothes the dragon #looooove serpentine dragons. Look at how flat he is... how long...#Serpent-King. What a great name! Pity it's taken in the Lands Between #but it's for the best. Our boy doesn't have man-serpents in his ranks. He couldn't commit to the brand #beautiful piece by the way

#music #a musical piece that I've associated with ER Cayin since a couple of years ago #-thinks about a discarded promo concept I had using the various creatures that appear in the Fantasia (1940) segment-#Lord of Beasts... HM...#I really like this version :] though of course the Fantasia one has influenced a lot of the feelings/imagery it conveys for me #the melody gives me this mixed image. A mighty beast. Grand and commanding and fearsome #but also... this grand beast that believes itself majestic becoming so absorbed in things that are in contrast so... petty #small whims and earthly possessions. Brief fascinations #the reflection of kings and lords who'd lose their vast power to the little things they could not resist. To greed. To bitter grudges #I can't say what the intention of those who worked in Fantasia was but Chernabog in their version evokes a similar contrast #grand creature that bends spirits and imps to his will... and yet at the end he sulks and hides as they do #could talk about this for hours- might revisit it later. But that's enough for now

I broke a ramune bottle to get the marble out for my dragon.

wickedwonderlandd

The dragons face never changes, but I still feel like he looks happier in the 2nd pic 🥺

The orb delights him

#The orb delights him.#Does the marble not look much prettier in his hand? Does he not look like he was always meant to have it?#crack #but also #aesthetic #hello I just found this in the depth of a drafts. Never realized I didn't post it #secret Cayin post

yellowfingcr

@yeleltaan every day is a nightmare here

#well. It's good boy friday so we're bringing this back #the fact that he wouldn't even get it at first. He'd just stare like “?”#Heysel have mercy on him please #friend art #yellowfingcr #Heysel tag - TBA

medievaljournalist

lol yeah go ahead try and attack me *notices i left my dragon scale talisman of immortality at home* or maybe lets not be too hasty

#Cayin doesn't have an immortality mcguffin. Nothing yet at least #but depending on some external object for his abilities? Posing his conditional strength as a general rule with no exceptions? Yeah.#That's very him #let's discuss this diplomatically! Why impose our preference with brute force when we could both benefit #<- (winning time as he beckons a nearby band of misbegotten to attack and distract you just in you're not in the mood to talk)

@sihilkaah

my friend hates your vibes and I hope he kills you

#friend art #yellowfingcr #Heysel tag - TBA #love them... they make such a fun hooded duo #he doesn't involve himself like this often! He tends to be careful and keep watching but sometimes... well! Scratch bite throw stab kick et #important thing to note is that Heysel is often a very good sport about being attacked! Killed even!#An eye for an eye maybe but it can end there!#Not Cayin. Cayin wants both your eyes. Heysel's eye is worth two of yours. He wants your fingers too (you poked out her eye with those)#though needless to say he's not always in a position to enforce that... Heysel knows some scary folk #some regrettably on a higher level than his Act I self. In that case he may stick to staring #he'd stop if Heysel demanded it too of course... retribution is her right to deliver when she pleases

It's like the Theater Trope still persists, even in this verse. Good.

Similar in spirit, a bit more steeped in the comparisons to old folklore as well as popular fantastical tales... or not-so-fantastical legends. A little whimsy and spectacle in a tired world.

#hexenjagd #ooc

Leave it to the dragon to become deeply involved with The Witch Knight and Gold Finch. Three different stories converging at a hell of a point.

Indeed! Each one well worth a book. A saga, perhaps! Intertwining tales with their own origins, twists and goals, redirecting one another with every meeting. To arrange them in a single true reading order is pointless, to seek a sole protagonist is folly!

He'd be so intrigued by the interpretations of different authors. How their stories could be transformed over time, with every translation, every shift of paradigm.

#hexenjagd #ooc #ish

Cayin, Lord of Beasts, as depicted by the fantastic @yellowfingcr

#the dragon friend in question! Bless you Bri he looks so good TuT #he sometimes plays with his jewellery absent-mindedly... other times he does it to piss you off ;y #but wild and unconventional as he may be he is a lord. So he will keep an air of elegance and composure throughout #hair braided as per beastman culture... though in his case it began thanks to two people very dear to him #a sellian nothing-woman and a harvesting once-knight #of course he wore no such regalia back then. Nowadays he's adorned- as befits a dragon's greed!#Although his ambitions look to more substantial pursuits than mere riches #don't let his graceful look deceive you though! He's a big boy. More of a physical threat than his main verse counterpart #friend art #yellowfingcr
