Evil AU art of Caleb (Bren) if he was neutral evil, met Essek while he was a full scourger, and instead of healing each other, fed into their darkness and conspired to remove the rest of the Assembly and Kryn elite from their way.
I have this idea that hasn't left my head since the end of C2 and I need to let it out. I am of the mindset that the intricate web of wizard spies were kind of overlooked and underpowered towards the end of the campaign AND I can't stop thinking about them. Like they were spoken of as if they were an urban legend... So what happened to them in the aftermath? They were basically mist. How could they possibly catch all of them?
So here's some prompts that I want to write but have never gotten around to or can't write because of my disorganized head.
Prompt #1:
What happens next.
Volstruckers in the aftermath of Trent's capture. What happens to a shadow network of wizard spies when their leader is taken into custody? Do they surrender, slink back into the shadows, or reorganize into an independent spy network?
Prompt #2:
So pretty much the same as the above but cozy second chance romance for a bunch of assassins.
Haha So we follow a volstrucker who disappears into the shadows and reemerges as a tavern owner who refuses to look back on their time as an assassin spy until a familiar face pops into their tavern for a drink.
Anyway I still am fascinated by the wizard spies and wish we spent like...so much more time with them.
Give me an EXU series on former volstruckers finding their way in this worlddd. Would they all be ludinus followers!? Would the leftover volstruckers be on the moon?!
Ugh... Every few months I get wizard spy brain rot and it takes a while to push through the hyper fixation.
Playlist inspired by Astrid & Eadwulf, specifically pre/early campaign. The feelings of loss and abandonment when Bren left as well as anger and jealousy that despite having a mental break he was still the “favorite son”.
I was reading a fanfic, as one does, it reads something like "maze like tattoos", and I'm like, oh which ones, there are two options, you have a smith in Rossona, and Eodwolf, they are two completely different maze like sleeve tattoos...
So, the half orc smith in Rossona might be a scourger, a spy or a deserter.
I don't know if anybody cracked the code already, bit this was a shock to me.
