Current

I had the amazing pleasure of being apart of the Jorvik Divined Oracle Deck and this is one of two cards I had the opportunity to do. All of the cards were based off of in-game runes with meanings and this particular rune was Current  . Current’s meanings had to do with letting go, fate, etc and I thought it would be important to address Anne and the loss she experienced with Concorde as well as needing to bond with lil Concorde now as well. I honestly haven’t gotten this far in game yet so I don’t know how it’s handled, but I guess I am hoping that they let Anne have some emotional time both with processing Concorde’s loss, her own changes and learning to work with and come to love filly Concorde. I think this plotline is SO compelling but I think it’s compelling for all the EMOTIONS behind it so I am thirsty for some Anne-gst as soon as I get here. Anyways, for all that reasoning, this is why I put Anne and filly Concorde in what looks like a Pandoric river with the water coming at the viewer and away from them. Old Concorde will be missed and loved, but it’s time for them to start new as a team! Anyways, I am INCREDIBLY proud of this piece and the other one. It was really exciting to do a full illustration for Anne and Concorde (when I haven’t even officially MET either of them - but that’s cool Veronika hands out with them sometimes at parties) and I was so SO honored to be able to be apart of this deck. Cross your fingers that we are allowed to get it printed for me because I would ADORE having mine and every other talented artist’s work in my hands! Please check out Jorvegian Collective on Tumblr, Instagram and Youtube in order to get a complete idea of what I have been up to since… February? And please take a moment to look at all the completed pieces from the AMAZING artists who joined this project! I could not be more impressed or honored to have been able to participate with them! <3

Do you know what missions I’d really like?

Fixing missions.

There are parts of Jorvik that have been tainted by industrialism, pollution, and sheer human greed - look at the Everwind Oil Fields, Bear Point, the weird poison pond in Crescent Moon. Helping to repair those would be a great way of introducing a narrative about environmentalism and climate change. The Jorvik Rangers could help the MC diagnose the issue, put in place a plan for repair, and it’s slowly achieved by daily tasks like helping the foal on South Hoof or the Soul Riding quests. It would be slow work, and you’d have to ensure visible progress happened to avoid making it grind-y, but that’s okay - environmentalism is hard, slow work. You could re-introduce species and put in place plans for conservation and re-wilding sites, maybe set up new Ranger stations to ensure that Jorvik remains protected. It would also highlight opportunities for education, and maybe NPCs could give suggestions for small changes players can make in their real lives, like reducing car travel and single-use plastics. Individual action is not going to save the planet, but it’s a good start, and people who might not listen to scientists will listen to their children. That’s why so many conservation projects focus on getting kids involved and interested - if the next generation has an interest in a project, their parents often develop one too.

You could also extend this model (albeit with a different narrative and quests) to finally fixing the many ‘under construction’ sites on Jorvik - The Baroness’ Racetrack is the one that springs to mind. Helping actually construct that and make it a working track, with a new flat or steeplechase race unlocked at the end of it. Maybe you even get the Northlink guys involved, persuade them to see a more ethical side of construction that creates something for the community, not for profit.

Maybe I’ve thought about this way too much, but I think it would be really cool to see quests that involve repairing the mess that’s been made of certain parts of Jorvik, and giving players the chance to get involved in conservation - as well as unlock new, much prettier landscapes in the process!
