drew my friend's Curse of Strahd player character, Nadesha, Hexblade Warlock for a secret santa exchange! 🗡️🌹

She got her patron exorcised out of her ever since (don't ask how that went), and now she is currently training to becoming a Bladesinger Wizard instead. But this was her, when she first entered Barovia at the beginning of our campaign!

nadesha talked to me

with the voice of a pretty sphinx - 

[urlasage]

these are the times to remember

.

.

I know we will be friends forever

the memories will last forever more

.

we lived by a code, to stand side by side

and it just keeps on getting better

when we are off to different worlds

somehow we are together

.

.

.    friends forever

l’histoire du noir

the seven beauties 

هفت پیکر 

.

.

one story is about the color of onyx that lets the 🌙 shine brighter.

.

.

.

is a famous romantic epic written by nizami in 1197.

.

.

.

the original title haft peykar can be translated literally as seven portraits with the figurative meaning of seven beauties. both translations are meaningful and the poet doubtless exploited intentionally the ambiguity of the words. 

.

.

.

the poem was dedicated to the ahmadili ruler of maragha, ala-al-din korpe arslan bin aq-sonqor.
