Queen of Rauh — Sketches
I sort of enjoy the theory that the large stone-carved busts of a crowned woman in Rauh was a previous God Queen. Queen Miranda of Rauh, who came into contact with the Crucible, becoming the first carnivorous blossom of the Miranda breed.
There are a few interesting ideas that stem from this (no pun intended), but it’s also quite the reach. If I recall, Rauh’s unlocalized name is Lauf which translates to leaf or foliage in Old Norse. Rauh was a civilization close to the Crucible prior to the Hornsent. Miranda Flowers are now known to be Crucible derived, and wield beams of light as an attack. Rauh has a church dedicated to flower buds and purification rituals. And of course the unused Miranda Prayer item, showing a woman whose torso is blooming, telling the story of Miranda of the Flower Crucible, the first of the breed. There’s also an association with Rot between its relation to the bud and placement of virdigris before the statue.
I for the life of me cannot draw humans 😩
