#Oath of the Crown COULD work for Story Reasons but CAN'T work because the way this is written that's just Fantasy Cops and ew no gross

[empressofthelibrary]

Knowing Bailey would be a Paladin but not liking any of the existing Oaths for her is extremely frustrating

Gavin, on the other hand, fits very easily into the role of a Warlock with a Fiend for a patron

#Oath of the Ancients fits as something she'd strive towards but it's much more fairy-and-fey themed than i'd like #Oath of Glory could work but it feels a little self-serving and -- unlike Valaria my OTHER Sadgirl Knight #-- Bales doesn't have the Backstory Stuff to make it make sense #Oath of the Crown COULD work for Story Reasons but CAN'T work because the way this is written that's just Fantasy Cops and ew no gross #i mean i GUESS i could go Oath of Devotion but like. Mngh. #anyway Gavin would either be some kind of elf or a longtooth shifter and Bailey would be an aasimar and just. deeply in denial about that. #''NO I'M A NORMAL HUMAN MY FRECKLES ARE NORMAL FUCK OFF'' ''your eyes glow when you get pissed off'' ''SHUT UP DAMNIT NO THEY DON'T'' #thinking about them bc they are a Paired Unit Do Not Separate and Edgin and Holga kind of reminded me of them in some ways

💛📿🕷️🖤 Let's get to know Lady Thule a bit more!

💛 Which of your non-romanced companions did your Tav stay closest to after the end of the game? Which companions drifted apart?

Helona stayed close with all the origin characters. Gale is, of course, her beloved husband. Wyll and Karlach are her dear friends that she doesn't see often enough, but through Yurgir, she can get letters to and from them. Astarion was pretty heavily influenced by her (he forsook his roguish ways and swore a paladin's oath at her guidance) so they remain closely in touch, with Astarion regaling her with stories of his heroics, on occasion asking for advice, and frequently teasing her for her quiet life with Gale of all people. She doesn't get many chances to talk to Lae'zel, but they miss each other a great deal. Shadowheart is, of course, very close, and they always spend time together when she's in Waterdeep. Shadowheart also joined her for the Run the year after the Absolute crisis. Even though Shadowheart isn't drow, with Sharrans hunting her, life on the surface is no less dangerous, and between them they had plenty of trouble to get up to. Hel also wanted someone with her, since she and Gale were expecting their first child soon, and she knew she couldn't fight at full capacity for a few more months.

However, she has remained closest with Minthara. They worked together to establish connections for her resistance movement in Waterdeep, and Helona has provided her additional support using the, uh, staggering wealth she collected during her adventures. They make an odd pair, a noble of Qu'ellarz'orl providing her sword and a conwoman of the Braeryn providing her coin. She's also entrusted Minthara with the mission of finding her family and bringing them to the surface.

📿 Are there any specific items that your Tav kept as heirlooms, or were otherwise significant to them for sentimental reasons? Did they give any of them as gifts to their companions?

Yes! The Sussar Greatsword hangs over the mantle in Gale's tower, much to his protestation- he doesn't like the sword because of its antimagic properties, but Hel can't bring herself to give it up. She also gave Phalar Aluve to Minthara, a guiding song to light her path in the Underdark.

🖤 Does your Tav have any regrets about the things they did?

Unfortunately, yes. Helona found herself blinded by her anger with Mystic Carrion, and upon discovering the location of his heart, she destroyed Thrumbo rather than coax the heart out of him. When she searched Carrion's upper floors, she found the notes from him and realized what she'd done. Murdering a fellow survivor of abuse and imprisonment weighs heavily on her conscience, zombie or no.

🕷 How many gods did your Tav mouth off to on their adventures? Who was their most behated god?

Six- Mystra (she constantly badmouthed her during the events of the game, then directly insulted her after the game ended), Vlaakith, Milil, Shar, Bane, and Myrkul. Withers was the only god she was nice to, at least when he wasn't calling her bitchless. Pointedly, with Mystra, she encouraged Gale to give the crown to her and get the orb removed, just so they could tell her to fuck off when she tried to make Gale her chosen.
