Okay! I finally made COTL designs I'm happy with! Thank you to my friend who gave me the idea to base Narinder off a maine coon.

Because its been a while- just kidding more Narinder talk.

Haro says he

has appetency to invite the novel and the new, break ancient vow and primordial bond alike.

But what primordial bonds has he broken? Not his familial bond, not yet at that point. No, I pose a more interesting theory.

Meet your demons.

Edit: made my own picture as images were messing up

Vesta: Goddess of hearth home and family

Orcus: God of the underworld and punisher of broken oaths.

Vosegus: God of hunting and forest.

Hathor: Egyptian sky goddess of many things but who also guides souls to the afterlife.

Fornax: Goddess of the oven, sacrifice cakes in her honor. Later absorbed into Vesta's domain.

Paean: physician to the gods, an aspect of the God Apollo, or a god of his own right. Could also be a race of angelic healers, whose to say.

In a world where many people have the names of demons from the Ars Goetia: the acolytes of the other gods, NPC's like Forneus and Berith, Baal, etc. Why are your demons named after gods?

Because Narinder bound them to serve him eternally. Of course.

Some are more obvious than others, Hathor and Orcus. But others aren't too far fetched. Wheat has a long association with death, so Fornax is a natural inclusion. With her being bound up with Vesta, Narinder must have fought her and transformed her as well. One of Vosegus's symbols is pine cones and The cult grounds have evergreens, (if you want to attach it to irl, then Vosges is where he's from, placing cotl cultgrounds somewhere between France and Germany. Which explains the vaguely French shrimp.)

And Paean could have been his personal physician, since Kallamar may or may not have been up for that job.

Thus, Narinder's first transgression may have been experimenting with his godly acolytes. Apparently, transforming mortals into monsters is fine, but turning gods into demons is too far.

This may not have been malicious... initially... perhaps he did this after they had died as a way to keep them with him forever before he discovered resurrection. In any case, those are the primordial bonds he's broken and ancient oaths usurped.

Rare paean and Hathor doodle

[mimi-s-boudoir]

TW: suggestive, sex, passion

Help me choose between which one of those two story sketch works better for Forneus x Paean:

Yeah, very appassionate, I know.

I have the headcanon of Baal and Aym being conceived during an eclipse.

The song is "Under Huntress Moon" by Cradle of Filth.

Be it sun to your moon

Be it moon to your sun

Together we promised to come

With a turn of the screw, and a slip of the tongue

We eclipsed one another undone
