pspspsps people who are interested in Forgotten Realms devils have you heard the good word of Brimstone Angels, an excellent series by Erin M Evans that has two tiefling protagonists that are sisters raised by their dragonborn dad who adopted them, and covers Nine Hells hierarchy stuff, what it means to be a devil, life as a tiefling during a specific time period, and ALSO features a specific dragonborn culture?

Cause here's my recommendation, you should read it, it's fucking good actually.

Farideh made herself keep smiling, as if she couldn’t hear Criella’s implication that she ought not to have the book in the first place. “From Garago,” she said, naming the wizard whose book it was. “He lends books to Havilar and me sometimes.”

“Havilar and I, dear.” Farideh bit her tongue as Criella continued. “And where is your sister?”

“Inside, probably,” Farideh said. Criella pursed her lips, and the younger tiefling quickly added, “I haven’t seen her in some hours. She’s likely with Mehen.”

“Does Mehen know you’re borrowing magic books?” Criella asked.

Farideh turned it over and opened it to show the frontispiece. “It’s just a history book.”

“The Legacy of the Skyfire Emirates in the Calim?” Criella said. “What has you so interested in there of all places?”

Far, far to the west, other tieflings sometimes joined the fiery efreets in the Calim Desert in their perpetual war against their enemies, the djinns of the air. Criella didn’t have to say another word—Farideh knew what she was implying: Why was Farideh reading a book about rogue tieflings who aided monsters and known slavers? Didn’t Farideh understand that she—just like everyone else descended from devils and fiends—had to know her place, to stay safe somewhere like Arush Vayem, to be quiet and unnoticeable?

Or did Farideh want to be the sort of tiefling who made life hard for the rest of them?

“He mentioned them,” Farideh amended. “It seems like such a silly thing, don’t you think? For so many hostilities to range around something as unchangeable as one’s nature?”

Criella’s smile vanished altogether. “Ah. Is that something else Mehen has taught you?”

Farideh flushed. “That … the djinn shall always be djinn?” she said as innocently as she could, but her pulse raced. It had been too near to admitting there was something like fear lurking in herself. That the lines of descent that linked her to some long ago and faraway fiend were more powerful than anything she could affect. “I believe that’s why they’re called elemental,” Farideh added.

“Of course,” Criella said, but already she was studying Farideh as if there might be some sign of her true nature unfolding. Farideh blushed harder. Any of the human villagers would find Criella’s scrutiny too subtle to notice. But Farideh’s eyes were like Criella’s—she knew the shifts and flickers of a tiefling’s eyes. Criella wasn’t trying to hide her disquiet.

Farideh longed to tell Criella that she knew. That she hated it. That it was worse coming from someone like Criella, who was a tiefling too. Who had gotten the same scrutiny from someone else when she was Farideh’s age. Who had cut off her horns and clubbed her tail because of those looks and run away to Arush Vayem, a community of tieflings, dragonborn, and anyone else who wanted to disappear. ----

His path crossed a balcony that overlooked the Court of the Sixth, and Lorcan paused a moment. The archduchess herself perched on the throne, carved from the ivory that had been her predecessor’s teeth, her batlike wings curved around her like an icon’s niche. Coppery skinned and dark-haired, Glasya made Rohini look common. Glasya made everything look common. If corruption had a form, it was Glasya, and not a soul looked upon her that didn’t feel the urge to throw itself headlong into that corruption. She radiated like a star and she swallowed up the light around her. To look upon Glasya, Lord of the Sixth and Princess of the Hells, was a special sort of madness.

---

“His destruction would benefit many,” Ilstan said. “It would be a boon to us all, and—”

“Is he like Shar?” Farideh asked. Ilstan frowned at her. “Dahl told me once you worship Shar when grief overtakes you. You give her a little honor so that she eases the sadness through your life. That the evil of Shar is that she’ll try to pull you down into that darkness, to make you stay. Is he like that?”

Ilstan shifted uneasily. “One might say so.”

“Have you given him worship then?”

“I’ve … You can’t ask me that.”

Perhaps, but Farideh could picture it: you pray to Asmodeus in the dark, for protection from the darker things, from the darkness inside you, for the blindness of other gods to the sins of your heart, for a silver tongue and a weight on Kelemvor’s scales, come the day. Freedom from consequence.

Asmodeus is the god of easy paths, Farideh thought. A god of happiness, as he says it.

I'm reading an advance copy of @erinmevans Erin M. Evan's next book, Relics of Ruin, and I love it so far! These are sketches I've done while reading it, with more to come! If you haven't read Empire of Exiles, I really recommend it. It's an original fantasy world with a gripping mystery, great characters, and a really intriguing threat that keeps you guessing.

For those of you who are D&D fans, Erin was the creator of the Brimstone Angels books set in the Forgotten Realms. Those books are also fantastic too, and I'm loving Erin's newer works where she's making really vibrant and diverse peoples and cultures. I want to know more about everyone, especially so I can draw them.

Empire of Exiles came out in 2022, and Relics is out later this year, so if you haven't had a chance to read it, pick it up!

>> I'm gonna be annoying about this on here as well because it fucking bothers me

I'm an going INSANE. Been wanting to read the Brimstone Angels novels, right? Right. Except they're super difficult to find. I hate reading ebooks, so I searched the web for physical copies, but they're near impossible to find, and the ones I do find cost, like, 80€ and up. Right, okay, audiobooks it is then. Nothing I usually do, but it'll be nice to listen to at work. But get this; they're only on audible, and the first two books are region locked to the US. I live in Germany. I tried for an hour to get it to work, searched the web some more to see if I can find them totally legally elsewhere, but NOTHING! Anywhere! Fine, I think, I'll read them on my iPad on Apple Books. I find the audiobooks there too! For 20€ each!!!! The ebooks are 7.50€ each, so that it'll have to be, but christ. The fucking scavenger hunt I had to go on.

#» at the campfire [ooc] « #brimstone angels #it miffs me #like christ! why are they not printing them anymore!! #come on wotc this is easy money!! you greedy capitalists!!!

Who was the first person you ever had sex with?

What's the best sex you've ever had?

If you could have sex with one famous person or celebrity (or someone who never had sex with) , who would it be?

What's the most times you've had sex in one day?

Have you ever had really bad sex?

Have you ever had a one-night stand?

(For all the grown ups ;))) )

-cracks knuckles-

HOO BOY

Who was the first person you've ever had sex with?

Kairi: "My first time was with a girl I met in one of my college classes, actually. We dated for a little bit, but we mutually split after a few months. I still wonder how she's doing, sometimes."

Yuè: "It was a girl I dated back in high school. We were drinking, making out, and one thing led to another. Neither of us knew what we were doing, which kind of made it less embarrassing? The liquid courage didn't hurt, either."

Basilisk: "She was a beautiful young lady traveling abroad for her studies, enjoying the French night life. I offered to show her around, and she invited me back to her room for the evening. I was intrigued by her. Enamored by her foreign looks...nothing ever came out of it--aside from me finally finding some organs I'd been having difficulties getting my hands on. Nothing of her was wasted."

Hymn: ".....no one. I've never....-ahem-. You know."

Riot: "it wasn't anythin' romantic. Just a hookup after a metal concert in my mid twenties. Fuckin' embarrassin', it was--I 'ad no idea what I was doin'. At least the gal was real nice about it..."

What's the best sex you've ever had?

Kairi: "With my 3 current partners, of course! Most of the people I've dated before weren't really...shall we say reciprocating? In the bedroom--or emotionally, either. But I've managed to find not just one, but three people who value my enjoyment as much as I value theirs. No one has compared to them."

Yuè: "i..." He cleared his throat. "I refuse to say. I know they'll hear about it SOMEHOW, and I'll never hear the end of it."

Basilisk: "None of my experiences stand out. They're all about the same, in my opinion."

Hymn: "I've never slept with anyone..."

Riot: "I can't believe I'm sayin' this out loud...there's this girl I'm seein' right now--lil spitfire she is. She an' i...fuckin' hell, I'm not gettin' into the details with strangers! Piss off!! Ò////Ó"

If you could have sex with one famous person or celebrity (or someone who never had sex with) , who would it be?

Kairi: "I never really looked at celebrities like that. And I'm too embarrassed to say who the one person would be out loud. I'd never hear the end of it from him, I fear..."

Yuè: "I used to have a crush on this one actor as a teenager. That's the closest I ever got to 'thirsting' after a celebrity."

Basilisk: "No one."

Hymn: He's glancing at his two bosses. He's quickly looking away.

Riot: "Not a celebrity--but it's on my bucket list t'get fucked by somethin' with tentacles. Like, REAL ones. Just once."

What's the most times you've had sex in one day?

Basilisk: "Once."

Kairi: "Oh gosh, this so embarrassing-- f-four... >////<"

Yuè: "Three times."

Hymn: "...none..."

Riot: "Twice. Each round lasted like...a quarter of a day, though."

Have you ever had really bad sex?

Kairi: There's a long sigh. "Unfortunately, I have had plenty of disappointing experiences with men; it was either short, only penatrative, just plain uncomfortable or a combination of them. I'm far more picky about who I sleep with now that I'm older."

Yuè: "Well sure. Most of that was back when I first started sleeping with people though, as a teenager."

Basilisk: "I am used to disappointment."

Hymn: "....no."

Riot: "Can't say I 'ave."

Have you ever had a one-night stand?

Kairi: "A few, yes..."

Yuè: "More than I'd like to admit, yeah...at least I was smart enough to get checked out regularly at the doctor's."

Basilisk: "A handful, yes."

Hymn: "No."

Riot: "Only once. Wasn't bad, but it sure felt bad t'wake up alone with my wallet missin' the next mornin'."

Did you ever notice how in the Bible, when ever God needed to punish someone, or make an example, or whenever God needed a killing, he sent an angel? Did you ever wonder what a creature like that must be like? A whole existence spent praising your God, but always with one wing dipped in blood. Would you ever really want to see an angel?

EXACTLY

#OOC / HOLLY. #the fact that Aylin is an angelic character but not the sweet innocent cherubic angel #she is the biblical wrath hellfire and brimstone flaming sword angel #she's the angel you tremble to meet even when she's acting as a messenger #fall on your face in fear and worship in hopes of appeasing the power that follows her #even when she tells you to cease and to rise and that it is not she who should be praised you are quaking #she's THAT version of angelic and I am HERE for it #and how much it's gonna fuck with her over time to be in this role tbh

This is a scene from Relics of Ruin, the next book in a fantasy series by Erin M Evans, and the sequel to Empire of Exiles! I got to read a snippet from the book and did my best to capture the mood of Erin’s amazing writing! If you’ve read the Brimstone Angels books, a D&D series about Tiefling twins who get into trouble, then this is the same writer!

Relics of Ruin is scheduled for December of 2023, I am excited!
