The Conquering Daughter sets out to avenge her husband and son
Hwarin Dalthippa, Daughter of the Red Emperor, embarks on her famous Daughter's Road campaign to avenge the deaths of her husband and son. She sits in a hearse drawn by demons, and her face is painted black in grief. She is followed by her army and a procession of priests and sorcerers. Behind her is the city built by her and her husband, Jillaro-of-the-Prince’s Green. Across the river await the spirits of her son and husband, as well as the Star-Goddess Yelorna, who presents her with a War Unicorn. Once across the river, she will put on a red mask of war and march her army in a straight line to where her enemies are camped, leaving behind a magical road.

so im going back through a crown of candy after the ravening war, thinking of maybe updating my acoc heroforges, when i see something I have somehow never noticed in my bajillion re-watches of acoc
pretty normal, im clocking all the sad sucrosi road parallels, but what’s that on theo’s cloak?
right there. something’s printed on it. is it the seal of house rocks? enhance
no, there’s text, or at least the beginnings of text, and that’s not the house rocks seal. what does the text say?
we got a definite F and R, and that thing’s starting to look like a face
wait a fucking second
it’s a fucking fruit rollup. with the tongue tattoo things they used to have on it in the 90s and early 2000s
that’s GENIUS
as always, the miniature artists at d20 fucking knocked it out of the park again. it even looks all distorted and stretched and faded like they always did.
