these took far too long i feel like im losing my mind ;-;
pls enjoy this way-too-detailed refsheet of my full-embrace durge, calithra. shes pure evil but she is soooo pretty so you know, we can let her get away with it a little bit!
she gets away with it a lot tbh she does kill a LOT of people
im so happy this is finished in time for artfight; whilst i doubt i would get any attacks for her due to her complex design, just the idea of it makes me happy ♥ shes there, and thats what counts!
i did initially play through with the goal of romancing astarion and ascending him, (full evil play, shar got shadowheart, vlaakith got lazael, etc) but the romance was so ass that i cut it completely. not to go off on one but changing it to have tav/durge all smiley and happy whilst being degraded and humilated...actually vomited in my mouth. the original ascended romance was way better, and i would have kept it in if i could have the storyline of durge becoming disilusioned with him and then gleefully murdering him at the end...but alas, twas not to be.
...SO SHE'S A GORTASH KISSER OF COURSE.
her relationship with gortash is built into her design; her armour was a gift from him, hence the black hand of bane over her heart, and she had her own gauntlet for her netherstone ♥ i know its pretty popular to hc that stillmaker is a gift from him so thats in there, too; basically she very much loved her slimy husband and when he died, she um - checks notes - killed the whole world.
...she doesnt, she absolutely gets taken out by the entire githyanki army at some point, but who knows what kind of devastation she rained down upon faerun before that happened? :')
