HELM Helm is always vigilant, watchful. He is never surprised, and anticipates most events by intelligence and observation. He can never be borne off his feet, rarely can he be tricked, and he will never betray or neglect that which he guards. In short, he is the ideal of guardians, and is worshipped so that some of his qualities will come to, or be borne out in, the worshipper.

The first appearance of Helm, god of protection. (By Ed Greenwood from “Down-to-Earth Divinity”, Dragon magazine No. 54, October 1981.)

‘We have suffered, and are diminished, for all time, but the mortal world we have made is glorious, filling our hearts and spirits with hope. Let us teach the Mortal Races to live well, to cherish beauty and honor, and to love one another as we love them.’ Thus are the Gods of Men tender and patient, and thus are Men and Beast Folk great in heart for joy or suffering, and ambitious for greater wisdom and a better world.

–An excerpt from Shezarr’s Song.

Akatosh promotes three key qualities in his sphere: endurance, invincibility, and everlasting legitimacy. Perhaps that’s why the Empire was so quick to embrace the Dragon God and his tenets. In the words of the Primate of Kvatch, here are the ways in which Akatosh embodies the three key qualities.

Endurance: “This quality represents Akatosh’s ability and strength to continue or last and is directly tied to his role as the God of Time. Akatosh endures, and so do the true believers who have accepted his words and devoted themselves to his teachings. Despite fatigue, regardless of stress or adverse conditions, Akatosh and his followers carry on. This is the Dragon God’s lasting quality.”

Invincibility: “Akatosh cannot be conquered, defeated, or subdued—and neither can those who believe in and honor the Dragon God. This is the Dragon God’s indomitable quality.”

Everlasting Legitimacy: “This quality must be examined in all its parts. It represents not only Akatosh’s eternal aspect, but his reverence for law, reason, and the ruling principles of hereditary right. Nothing blessed and sanctioned by Akatosh can be considered spurious or unjustified. This is the Dragon God’s continuing and lawful quality.”

–Excerpt from Worship of the Dragon God

Day 3 of Misadventure May: Teacher sends Dagrun in an errand to deliver some bells to the crow witch in exchange for some herbs. Have you remembered to keep the amber bell hidden, Dagrun? I’m not very happy with this one. Spent way too long on it. But then finished is better than perfect, so here we go! #misadventuremay #drow #dagrungloamingly https://www.instagram.com/p/COh_1Y6DoRb/?igshid=o23lqfwlxv3c

New D&D PC alert! My new lizardfolk trickster cleric Tocky. She worships a small god of stories who lives in a robin’s egg, and has a mouse friend who may or may not but a cursed prince. Her war cry is “Geckooo!” #dungeonsanddragons #lizardfolk #gecko #cleric https://www.instagram.com/p/CHsQtR_D-n6/?igshid=hlgqjx2urm1k

Some sort of necromancer from the ‘ol sketchbook. Experimenting with some quick and dirty color on top of pencils. I have new sketches almost everyday on Twitter and Instagram, if you are into that sort of thing! :) They don’t always make it to Tumblr…
