A commission by @duskguard of Zarunpel's bonded shadow panther and mount, Velumbra, with a cameo of the knight herself.

She was great to work with, and why I love working with artists that know the source material: They came up with the idea of the hammer at the end of Zarunpel's braids from me just stating it was weighted for combat, and the aesthetics and habits of Knights of Garenbrig.

Beyond that, there will be a dinner of elk meat and shadow that evening!

Finally got around to drawing my belf pally who i run as my main in game, obviously she’s bloodelf in game but ilikehighelvesmoresooo

I’ll put her info under the cut cuz there’s gunna be a lot. If you have any questions about her i have so many ideas going through my head lol feel free to send some questions~

Meet Dalean Feylight (feylight in game) and her luminous starseeker Duskguard. As a young teen looking for work she found a position as a caretaker for a breeder of panthara that were sold as mounts/companions/pets/ect.. she spent many years with the old breeder learning all about the beautiful creatures and how to care for them. She loved her job and wanted nothing more, until the legion came and her mentor along with most of the village was slaughtered.

Dalean made her escape with a handful of panthara but wasn’t able to save all of them. The only real reason she made it out was because of Duskguard who definitely lived up to his name. She had no knowledge of defending herself aside from instinct so was very helpless against the legion. After her escape, she and the panthara hid away for a couple of days until the legion had finished around her village. 

She gathered all who had survived the attack, which wasn’t many, and they slowly made their way to a main city where they could be safe. There she met a paladin who was impressed with her courage and leadership of helping those who needed it. He offered to teach her what he knew so she could fight back against the legion! She trained hard, grew stronger, faster, and braver. Once she excelled at her new found talents she was sent off to defend the innocent.

Duskguard went with her, the two of them followed after the legion helping villages, killing demon, and healing the wounded. She became a protection paladin so she could make sure those with her would not be harmed. Her determination and faith the legion would be destroyed kept her going even when all hope seemed lost.

When BFA comes along Dalean takes a neutral position and returns to breeding panthara. It brings her sorrow that the Horde and Alliance are at war again, her faith now lies that one day both will be able to live in peace. 

I’ll leave it at that for now c:
