fucking CRAZY thing for Ondra to say to a fucking MOON GODLIKE. HELLO???????????

[yesistolethisurl]

so like. storms happen all of the time in eora without ondra's direct interference. but how much do we want to bet that she sent the storm at the beginning of avowed, specifically to kill the envoy and keep the secret of the godless hidden?

“Shimmer” for Pillars/Avowed?

microstory asks

The crystal shimmers like a pearl washed in moonlight. It gleams like Ondra’s tears — tears of a mother. Its light does not fade, not even as the shards are dragged down by the water.

All Almerth has left are metaphors, comparisons, and pitiful prayers no one will answer. Ondra may be his mother, but she does not plunge into the depths of an icebound lake to pull her son from cruel currents. Nor does she shed a single tear for him, or sing him a final lullaby to make the drowning gentler.

And still, Almerth finds himself thinking of how beautiful the crystal is. Its glow burns into his vision as water fills his lungs, as his body grows heavy, as the cold begins to feel like fire. In the end, it dims — as all light dims — only to give way to a new radiance, a violet gleam in someone else's eyes. 

Mothers can be cruel.

Unlike saved souls.

One thing that really interests me is Ondra's connection to the moons. Like, that's just something that is unavoidable because the two are so intertwined in our own world and culture that to separate the two is not only inconceivable but also impractical.

Even in this stagnant world they've noticed the connection between the waves and the moon, so it would make sense for Ondra to be connected to it. But the interesting thing is that the moons aren't gods, unlike Eothas and the Sun.

This bit feels like a clear reference to what we learn in the White March DLC, a mythos to explain something near forgotten. But it also likens to something older, of maybe the old gods from before the Engwithans.

It's just funny I guess that the goddess of forgetting can never truly erase anything, which one of the main points of the first game

I've been practicing with compositing lately and decided to add some life to an old illustration with my OC Ondra. Illustration itself below~
