Albedo, Lord of the Broken Sky

"Spring provides all manner of misery while the Angels are nowhere to be found, aside from listless glimpses flittering in the clouds. If I were to tell you that Heaven's gates had been swung open wide, and that all that fell out of it was still-myrrh; no Archangels, no wrath from on high, no salvation, I bet you would feel insulted. The open way lies closer than one would ever imagine, but to reach Divinity's crystalline road, you have to make it past the moon-headed king, Albedo. 

The mantle of the world has passed down from Giants, to Fairies, to the Earthly Tribes. While Giants scorned all those who came after, Fairies brought the Earthly Tribes under their care. The First Tribe who pledged fealty was said to embody the elements of creation, with starlight running through their veins. The first chieftain, Hyder, built a sanctuary for Fairy magic and knowledge to be shared freely. The second chieftain, Lodran, built up the sanctuary into the city of Peony, for both Fairy and folk to live side-by-side. The third chieftain, Albedo, was born into a world where the Fairies had already sailed over the horizon, and the legacy of the chieftains before him sat heavily upon his shoulders.

Albedo was scrutinized as an overly-lofty guardsman for a city built by greater men. The decrying voices rang within him during his quietest hours, which led him to hymns of the church. He placed his faith in the Archangels, which many saw as an outright betrayal of his lineage. He became a symbol of an era of waning, and only his most steadfast subjects stayed in Peony, their loyalty fully tested when the Vernorexia began. Albedo faced monster after monster and, when he lost all who placed their trust in him, he struck the firmament. With his rage alone, he tore open the sky to demand answers from the Archangels, letting the deluge of myrrh take Peony whole. Whatever Albedo found in the Heavens, no one knows, and he seems keen that no one else makes the journey. He lashes out at anyone who dares approach his vigil. Wanderers in the dunes call him a madman, but by my judgement, he has never had greater clarity."

THE LAST STAND OF THORIN OAKENSHIELD

Some old concept art for my own fantasy setting. I have several names for it, but none of them can be considered anything more than a placeholder name. Some call it "Teklaverse", from the name of one of the characters populating it. Others call it Rainverse, from my username. I usually use the "Enter Selfscape: World After Glory" name, that was partially suggested by @jaegershund. MOSTLY jokingly, because of how ridiculously-sounding it is. These are soldiers/warrior elite from a nation composed mostly of Scamps/Fiendlings/Devilings - basically, goat people. Kinda. Generally speaking.

They jump good, shoot bow good, sit in fortress in mountain. They value patience, self-improvement, and order. And they are DEFINITELY NOT just a stand-in for generic fantasy dwarves. Definitely. Not dwarves. Nope.

It's an old drawing, but one I still very much like looking at. It's a very good example of my love for the medieval (broadly speaking) aesthetic, and the fondness for historically-inspired military equipment mixing with my other interests - fantasy media, wargames, weapons and armor, etc. Oh and anthropomorpthic animals. Or furries. Yeah better expect lots of furries from this account. I'll have to revisit these guys soon, they deserve it.

Under the cathedral’s arches, a cloaked warrior waits in silence. Her armor glimmers, her cape flows in the wind — a quiet strength that watches you.
