Heirloom and Honor:

In which we feel the weight of our history and bear the burdens of our responsibilities.

This took… way too long… here’s the background only version w all the little Easter eggs and such.

Some progress images! From layout to finish.

This is my most ambitious piece to date…maybe my last fanart for a while haha 😞😞

Some lore thoughts going into this illustration — feel free to ignore:

I was thinking this takes place in S2 in the Zianna Ro’Meave rescue arc, where Garroth returns to O’Khasis after many years to rescue his mother…He comes across their oldest (historically, the first in Ru’aun) cathedral and finds it in a wrecked and pillaged state.

The pious folk have pretty much abandoned the cathedral following Zane’s disappearance for 15 years and the Tu’la invasion was the nail on the coffin. The cathedral is completely barren of life except for the few intact stained glass windows that recount the history of the Divine Warriors.

Around this time it’s revealed that Garroth is the current holder of Esmund’s relic— is he anxious? Lost? Jumpstarting his quarter-life existential crisis?

I hope that everything here in this illustration captures my vision and conveys it to you. This is pretty much a love letter MCD HAHAHAHA

my old map from 2022-2023!! i’ll hopefully be updating this and . giving the regions actual names since the current ones are not that great

but thought i’d post this just to kick it off

Anyone ever think about the pain Laurance went thru after Ungrth ‘died’. Like he knows Ungrth should revive I think after like 100 years…? If I’m remembering it right? I feel like we didn’t see much of how that actually affected him other than the visiting Ungrths grave, and the reaction when finding out Ungrths grave was robbed. I need to sit and rewatch the episodes at some point but I feel like I remember it being mentioned that they were pretty close.

I was also thinking on the whole Shadow Knights becoming immortal thing, and like how they achieve that.

I think it would be interesting to see a AU if Laurance like, actually considered becoming a full shadow knight. And like taking the steps to get to be one (like killing Aph). All to become immortal, JUST to see Ungrth again. Like, if their bond was so strong that he would actually consider taking the steps to actually see Ungurth again, the Wyvern who SAVED him from the Nether, would he do it?

There’s probably some facts I got wrong or stuff I could add to this idea, but there’s so many MCD episodes I have such a hard time trying to watch them all LMAO

Either way this was fun to think abt and honestly sounds like an interesting fanfic idea…hmm

WHY ARE LIKE HALF MY REBLOGS ON HERE

i need to pay more attention what blog im on

✥ | a map of ru’aun, circa 1416 a.i. (after irene)

—————————————————————————————————————

hi!! it’s me again!! today i bring you a little teaser for my mcd roleplay that’s gonna be coming up either this or next year!!

i’m really excited for it, and the guys in the mcd big bang server have really inspired me to keep on crafting. more updates about this will come soon if you guys are interested in hearing more!!

(under the cut is a little tidbit about roleplay locations)

every city in red is going to be an area/setting you can actually roleplay in!! it’s not concrete, and could change—but this is what i’m thinking. key below <3

circle with diamond — ‘capital’ of the phoenix drop alliance

circle with dot — major cities

circle — minor cities

diamond — settlement/village

animal footprint/marking — high concentration of that region’s nonhuman species

HI HELLO MY AU REVOLVES AROUND THIS

not sure about our canon characters changing yet since the newer species are in diff regions, but . i’ve got 7 other regions / continents to explore that are packed with new cultures and species

a few to note , which i’ll be expanding on later + showing more in a post i’m working on :

lago

dragons (wyla and eirou, thinking of combing them because the divide of western and eastern dragons seems.. kinda iffy?)

bird people

enderians and endermen

siren

wisps / spirits (think different from ghosts, more of protectors or guardians of an area)

wither skeletons + piglin

and a few others i can’t think of rn

i think people should start making aphverse characters non canon creatures like make someone part enderman or a rabbit hybrid or even a full on robot
