Cleric Class (Adventures in the Forgotten Realms) - Alayna Danner

Cleric idea, except they have no idea what God they're praying to. They're actually just depressed and praying for just something to get better, for the love of whoever might be fucking listening.

Their prayers sound a lot more like agonized begging.

Finally getting around to actually posting my Tav, Lia.

I’ve got a pretty well developed backstory for them because I played them in a full campaign prior to bg3, and just tied it in.

They’re an ex-Lolth sworn Drow, turned Selunite cleric/fighter, and then some other things. Their previous adventure (which took them through like, level 10 or so?) was in Ravenloft, so it got pretty dark.

Name: Lerial, Lia.

Non-binary, they/she. Drow. Cleric of Selune Nextal Selune. Also multiclassed into a fighter.

Weapons: Shortsword, Rapier, Longsword

Armor: shield, scale or chain mail

Backstory!

Lirael (Lia) was born to the small drow house Helviafin. Lia was expected to follow their aunt into the priestesshood, and studied in the realm of drow religion, history, and magic. Lia was raised, primarily, by their sister, Drana, and their aunt. And Drana didn’t care much for Drow politics OR religion, and preferred secretly spending time away from the Underdark, on the surface, and took Lia with her on occasional visits. They’d go to the city, or to visit Drana’s partner on the surface. It all started making Lia question things more. If they’d both had the wherewithal to leave sooner, things probably would have ended better. Things culminated with their aunt and the house finding out about their excursions. It didn’t turn out well. Drana’s surface dwelling lover was executed and Drana when Lia was about 50-55 (not an adult yet). Lia eventually left the house, but not gently, and burning quite a lot of bridges (and temples) on her way out.

They ended up at a small temple of Selune, where they spent quite a while (years), getting their feet under them and studying, learning medicine, and about the surface and the world beyond their house. They’ve never had the most stable relationship with the gods, even Selune, and they still have a lot of uncertainty and a hard time trusting. Eventually they took to the road, and spent several years traveling and working primarily as a healer, and eventually adventuring as well.

Until they took a wrong turn into Ravenloft. (This was a campaign that I played in for a while, but we didn’t finish, so I’ve been working with our GM on the What Would Have)

They were in Ravenloft for the better part of 10 years (for them), where, since they lost contact with Selune, swore themself as a cleric of Nextal, a near forgotten god of death. While in the Domains of Dread they became a pretty powerful cleric—a death shepherd—and had a hand in stopping the rise of a new god, helped balance the cycles of life and death in Ravenloft, and fought in a war between several Darklords of the Domains of Dread. But Ravenloft is a generally terrible place and eventually Lia got depressed and desperate enough that she wrangled a way to return to Faerûn. In doing so they were stripped of all the cleric abilities they had from Nextal, and ended up back in the mortal plane, with little magic and only foggy memories of Ravenloft.

AND THEN, pretty much right after they get back, the Nautaloid appears and they’re snatched.

Lia is Mist Touched—because they spent so long in Ravenloft, traveling in the Mists, the Mists are always right at their heel, trying to take them back to Ravenloft. But it takes them a while to notice this, and they don’t tell any of their new companions about it because they have bigger things to worry about. And it’s their own problem anyway. Right? (Wrong.)

I might or might not have a 4 chapter mini-series comic written about all this. I also have a bunch of fics simmering because the tad fools have taken over my brain.

Wanted to paint something with Rim lighting. I never paint tongues. And I haven't painted a boy in a while. So here's this. Started out wanting it to be a healer character class of some kind, wound up looking more like a Cleric so I guess that's what he is. Support my art: https://www.patreon.com/JaeHaruArt

Concept - a cleric and a bard in one. Start strumming a lute and headbanging to heal your comrades.

Here’s Carrie, a Cleric serving some kind of sunshine god. The light domain is helpful for exploring the deep-sea dungeons.

I think I understand color schemes better now
