Karlach the SECOND you stand still lol
Volume up!
I wanna talk about this Epilogue letter for a hot moment.
I bet someone must've talked about this before but alas I haven’t seen it and BOI do I have feelings about this.
This letter is from the Gur to Astarion.
Not only did I find it astounding that they wrote him a letter but like...
Not only are they forgiving him but they tell him he is a ROLE MODEL to their vampiric children. They admire him for the redemption he lived through, the development he made to become the bigger man.
So not only do they tell him that they're even with him now: no! They also claim that he's helped them to accept their vampire children. Because Astarion showed them that they can be more than just undead creatures.
They voice admiration for him and tell him they're gonna keep watch of him.
(This is not to say that Astarion's actions against the Gur should be overlooked, but it shows to me that both sides have learned and moved on.)
Now: imagine Astarion reads this letter at the reunion party. Or maybe Tav hands it to him later because he couldn't be bothered to waste his time sorting through letters (is what he says but he probably thought no one would have sent him one). He reads the letter barely believing the words he's reading. Tav notices he's gone super silent and turns to find Astarion teary eyed, hand covering his mouth. When he sees you noticing he looks almost like he's going to snarl at you but then he just let's you wrap your arms around him.
"I'm so proud of you," you say.
And he might need more time to accept that, but the seed is planted.

Sketch of the Day: No Stranger to A Needle
Other people have depicted this before and better than me! Just testing out some new ink brushes.
I kinda miss the old armor description detail that Astarion was into poetry and that one of those poems spoke to him so deeply he embroidered it straight into his clothes.
I just thought it was a cool detail.
