“She looks cooler than I thought!”

Image ID below 🧵

[Image ID: 5 panel comic with a plain pink background depicting the first time Critical Role character Maeve of the Air Ashari meets Laudna and is awed by her appearance. In Panel 1, Maeve listens to her sister Leeta retell the hanging at the sun tree and the resurrection of Laudna carrying the spirit of Delilah Briarwood. Leeta’s back is turned to the viewer. She wears a dark blue cape, brown leather armor, and a light blue robe underneath. She’s fair skinned with pointed ears and short curly blond hair that ends in teal. Maeve wears the same blue robe and leather armor and has the same blond hair, but it’s completely blonde and is longer, tied in a chunky braid with red flowers woven throughout. Maeve faces Leeta, a cartoonish shocked expression on her face with wide eyes and a gaping mouth. With her downward squished eyebrows, it almost looks like she’s angry, but a subtle blush on her cheek instead reveals her rapt disbelieving attention on her sister’s wild tale. Panel 2 shows the sun and clouds implying passage of time. Panel 3 shows a zoomed out depiction of Orym introducing a smiling Maeve to the rest of Bell’s Hells. Orym is a fair skinned halfling with short brown hair, green shirt and pants, and the same leather armor. Panel 4 reveals Laudna from Maeve’s point of view. A bony, grey-skinned woman with sunken dark eyes stands with a soft smile and a cocked head. Her black and white hair is done up in a messy bun wrapped in red ribbon with some hair strands falling around her face. She wears a fancy purple and grey dress with black tree branch imagery on the upper chest and the skirt’s part. Laudna wears a black corset embroidered with red and orange flowers and wrapped with red ribbon all around the waist. Attached to the ribbon are bits of bone and a pair of scissors dangling at her hip. A wooden bird house is strapped to her like a backpack and her right arm is gently raised. On her wrist stands a plump rat with a bird’s skull for a head Her ears have golden cuffs in the shape of elf ears. The last panel is Maeve’s expression of pure awe and admiration. It’s the same cartoonish face, but with a bigger blush, more intense eyebrows, and a glitter in both eyes. Two huge exclamation marks stamp themselves by Maeve’s expression. Watermark on painting reads “@ThreadcountArt” and “Do not repost/edit/trace” End ID]

Speaking of will were he and derrig also human? Or something else same with other characters from zephrah

So it's not unheard of or even uncommon for Secret Library employees to be of mixed-heritage. Like there was someone supernatural as a parent or a little further up the family tree who's supernatural aspects stuck around in the offspring had with humans.

As canon Will is a half-elf by half-elves, I'd translate that into this AU as Will is mostly human, but there's enough of a little something else to boost his physicality to slightly beyond human. The same goes for Derrig and Nel and the girls. Though Maeve got the supernatural bloodline stronger than the rest because she's a druid in canon, so that accounts for her magic.

Keyleth is not human. She's a guardian spirit of nature and the antlers are actually attached/part of her because of that. This nicely accounts for how very powerful a lvl20 Archdruid is. Keyleth is also the Manager of the Zephrah branch.

also thank you liam o’brien for further confirming that orym basically grew up with will’s family as a surrogate family

Orym vignette request~

“Nap” or “Will’s sisters”

I couldn't decide which one I wanted to do, so… you're getting both! :D I hope you like them!

-------

"A Moment's Respite"

Orym approached the tall, graceful woman standing at the cliff edge and bowed. "You summoned me, Tempest?"

"Yes." She turned as Orym straightened, and he could see that her eyes were shadowed with worry and concern. "Orym… are you… all right?"

"Tempest?"

"It's been almost four weeks since the attack, and I don't think you've slept more than three or four hours a night since then." Keyleth reached out and very lightly stroked back Orym's soft brown hair. "I know you want to be vigilant, but… you can't protect me or anyone else if you're asleep on your feet."

"It's… not just that, Tempest. It's…" He tried valiantly to hide it, but the druid saw the flash of anguish in his eyes.

Too late, Orym looked down at his feet awkwardly, and Keyleth sighed. Then she put one hand on his shoulder and began to walk through Zephrah, guiding him along at her side.

"Come. I have an idea."

Together they walked through the village, and those they passed bowed their heads in respect to Keyleth. Eventually, the two arrived at the foot of a large tree. Unlike most of the trees of Zephrah, this one stood far taller, its branches spreading wide and its canopy high. The trunk was an almost shimmering white, but most intriguing of all was the number of ravens that sat upon its branches.

Now it was Keyleth's turn to look momentarily stricken, and she briefly closed her eyes, then re-opened them and looked down at Orym.

"Do something for me, Orym."

"Of course, Tempest. Anything you command."

Keyleth pointed up to a small cluster of branches. "Climb up there, and rest." She raised her voice ever so slightly. "The ravens shall guard your rest." In response to her words, a few of the ravens fluttered away from the cluster to make room, then they looked down at Orym respectfully.

"Are… you sure about this?"

She nodded and smiled, then rested her hand on his shoulder. "Yes." Keyleth lowered her voice to a near-whisper. "This is where I come when I want to dream of the one I loved and lost. I see no reason why you can't do the same."

Orym swallowed hard and nodded, then he clicked his heels and sprang several feet straight up into the air to land dextrously on the branch that Keyleth had indicated. He set aside his sword and his shield, though keeping them within easy reach, and stretched out his legs while leaning back against the tree.

One raven, larger than the rest, coasted down from higher in the tree to land beside him, and the halfling couldn't help but smile wanly at it.

"You're gonna guard my rest, right? You're almost as big as me, so I'll trust you."

The raven tilted its head and lightly pecked at Orym's chest, just over his heart.

Orym closed his eyes, did his best to swallow his tears, and slowly, slowly, slowly, let the exhaustion and pain and heartache take him as he slid into sleep.

-------

"Found Family"

"ORYM, CAN YOU COME HELP ME, PLEASE?" Berenie's voice carried from the kitchen, and a moment later, the halfling appeared in the doorway.

"Sure, what do you need?"

"I just realized I forgot to pick some fresh herbs from the garden, would you mind going outside and getting some for me?" She saw him raise one hand and immediately shook her head. "No, no, no, don't waste your Druidcraft on that. Besides, I need more than one type of herb so you'd have to go outside anyway."

Orym laughed softly. "Fine, then, which ones do you need?"

"I need…" Berenie glanced over her shoulder at the recipe book. "Tarragon, some dill, and a double handful of parsley."

"Roast stew tonight, I take it?" Just the thought of it made his stomach rumble, and he heard a giggle from behind him as Lita came in.

"I heard that in the hallway, Orym."

"Sorry, I haven't had breakfast yet. I only just finished my morning routine and-"

"Oh, no, don't let Maeve hear that you skipped breakfast, she'll take your head off."

"I didn't skip breakfast, that's why I was actually coming in here-"

"DID HE FORGET TO EAT AGAIN?!" came a bellow from outside.

"I didn't forget, Maeve, I just finished exercising!" he called out the kitchen window, while Lita gave him a knowing grin and Berenie went back to preparing the stew for the evening meal.

"ORYM, DON'T YOU DARE DO ANYTHING BEFORE GETTING SOME FOOD INTO YOU, YOU NEED TO KEEP YOUR STRENGTH UP!"

"But Berenie needs some herbs-"

"DON'T MAKE ME COME IN THERE!"

Berenie laughed and called out, "If you're going to come in here to yell at him, maybe you should bring me some herbs instead!"

"Nah, I'll get them." Orym swiped some freshly baked waybread from the table, broke off a piece, and popped it into his mouth. With his mouth still full, he glanced back at Berenie and asked, "You said dill, tarragon, and what else?"

"Parsley, double handful."

"Got it. Back in a little bit." Munching on the bread, he left the house and circled around to the large garden in the back, where he found Maeve on her hands and knees, tending to one corner where she kept her medicinal plants.

"G'morning, Maeve… see? I'm eating." He waved the waybread in her direction, and she gave him a measured glare.

"I've seen sparrows that eat more than you. And with all that you put yourself through, you really should be eating better, Orym."

"It's fine… I'm like half your size, so I only need to eat half as much."

Maeve tossed a clod of earth at him, which he easily dodged. "Make sure to get something more substantial into you after you finish picking those herbs for Berenie. Will needs something solid to hug."

"I've not heard him complaining," Orym murmured under his breath as he gathered the requested herbs.

"True, you usually just have him making other sounds-"

Now it was Maeve's turn to dodge as Orym chucked a handful at her, his face flaming red.

"MAEVE!"

"I'm not wrong, though!"

"Oh, shut up."

Maeve laughed and went back to tending her plants, while Orym finished gathering the herbs for dinner and came back inside. Lita and Berenie were working side by side in the kitchen, Berenie industriously scouring and washing the heavy iron cauldron, and Lita quickly making some eggs and bacon.

Orym set the herbs beside Berenie on the counter, then accepted the eggs and bacon from Lita. "Thanks, Li."

"You're welcome, little brother."

Last month at the wiki — July 2023

Encyclopedia Exandria is always changing with updates, additions, expansions, and edits. The first Wednesday of every month, we highlight significant work done in the previous month by our editing community.

As always, to start, here's a selection of ten articles created in July. You can find more of our newest articles at the 50 newest pages report.

Brumeskipper, brumestone-powered transport in Jrusar

Calianna's letters, letters written by Calianna Mordsson

Maeve, Orym's sister-in-law and a druid of the Air Ashari

Alma, Orym's mother and a midwife

Gray Assassins' toxin, used by Otohan Thull and her echoes

Devourer, fiendish creature encountered in the Grey Valler

Battle of the Red Center, conflict at the Tishtan site

Skydancer, warriors of the Air Ashari

Raha Den, caravanserai in Bassuras

Teleportation circle, magical anchor for teleportation spells

The Midst season one finale hits the public channels today! Midst episodes were recently split into their own article, List of Midst episodes; it includes links to the appendices for each episode. Candela Obscura Chapter 1's finale also aired this month; you can check out The Collectors for that.

We've mostly focused on regular coverage this month, updating articles like Timeline of Campaign 3, Grey Valley, Zephrah, among others. Sometimes regular coverage happens for other reasons: Calianna Mordsson received an update after Mark Hulmes posted to Twitter imagining what her post-Campaign 2 appearance life is like.

Maintaining the wiki also sometimes requires some harder to notice updates. We've programmatically added a short description to all episode articles, over 400 of them. A short description is the subtitle that appears in search results, and it helps clarify the subject of the article to help you arrive at the correct place:

She was brought to dinner by a woman named Delilah.

"I mean, I remember quite a lot, for better or worse. My parents thought that getting an invitation to the palace, to the castle, to meet the Lord and Lady Briarwood was a great boon. We were promised a wonderful feast and an amazing party. We were told we were going to be serving a greater purpose for Whitestone."

Orym froze.

"Laudna?"

"Hm?"

"You know what's interesting about you?"

"Hmm. Well, I would hope a great deal of many things."

"There's the obvious, but you are the happiest person in this bunch."

"Of course. The worst thing that's ever happened to me has already happened."

"What the fuck is up with that?"

"I remember being tossed clothes to wear—it was actually quite fantastic. And then...the rest is a little fuzzy. They dragged me away, separated me from my parents. Next thing I remember is waking up, being hung from a tree. It was the Sun Tree, actually. Quite a spectacle. Oh! And there's these—"

Laudna pulled the small ear cuffs she wore off, showing the jagged tips of her ears.

"They cut my ears to make them pointy, to further match whatever warning signal I was."

We have to help them. We're did this to her. We're the reason she was on that tree in the first place.

And Vox Machina, mighty Vox Machina, keeps to the square's outskirts. Percy and Vax notice it first.

Eight bodies, hanging from the Sun Tree. One for each of them.

Each of the bodies dressed and set as a message.

A message received, and left for another party, years later, to find.

@ghostofwhitestone was doing HCs around Orym/Will a while ago, and I had described a little thing in my ask and it just has not gotten out of my head, so here's a tiny drabble with my original thoughts and theirs included.

The house after the funeral is quiet. Weirdly quiet. Orym doesn't think the house has ever been this quiet.

Everyone is just sort of...staring. Nel's been crying since the funeral, and she's still sniffling, wiping her eyes with her handkerchief every so often. When they got back, Maeve made tea, but it's still sitting on the table where she placed it.

"Do you remember the time Will fell out of a tree watching you train?" The entire group looked at Berenie. "He had climbed up into the branches and just stared for...I don't even know how long. He leaned forward too far and the branch snapped and you could hear it through all of Zephrah. He wouldn't talk about it for a week—just get all red when anybody mentioned it."

"There was the time he almost burnt down the house making dinner." Lita added.

"The chicken." Orym laughed quietly.

"He ruined half the flower garden training once." Nel sniffled. "Then he ruined it again picking ones for you."

"There was the time you two went stargazing and he didn't think to tell us." Maeve laughed. "We all thought you two had run off in the middle of the night until we found you both dead asleep in the grove."

"First time you sparred, he almost knocked you unconscious with the wooden sword. Didn't want to spar for a week after that." Derrig added, with nods from Nel.

And the stories keep going. Their first date, ruined by the rain. The first time Will took Orym home and all the sisters doted on him, asking him all sorts of things. Will proposing before Orym had a chance to. They're all teary again as Orym jumps in.

"One of the dates—I think the one before the stargazing—we just sat and talked for the longest time and we started talking about what we would do if we got married and what would happen in the future and where we would—" A broken sob is wracked from the halfling, torn from somewhere deep inside of him as he talks. "—where we would go after we got married and what he'd wear and what everything would look like—and where we would go if we ever decided to leave the Blades—he went on about seeing everything and anything—"

"—Oh, Orym." Nel quietly moved beside him as he broke down into tears.

"And now we never will." He sobbed.

"I know, darling."

And the fact is that Orym knows too. It's come crashing far too hard and far too fast and he's falling into the fact that Will is gone much more than he ever truly wants to.

And yet, he'll be caught. Although Will may be gone, his family is not.

Following threads. Dark fey influences. Members of the Cerberus Assembly. Power players in Marquet. One month out from trouble. Stay the course?

The words come through as Keyleth sits in the garden after a meeting. They're not from anyone she's ever heard before, but she knows who they're from. This is not good. Not what she expected, either.

"I thank you for the message, whoever you are. This is disconcerting news. Stay the course carefully. I'll pull threads on my end. Stay safe."

Keyleth takes a breath, steeling herself in the comfort of the garden. She is going to need help.

Whenever Ashton gets a migraine from his powers or his head, each Hell has their own little way of helping.

If they're inside for the day, Imogen sets up the Dancing Lights around the room to keep it just lit enough for everyone else without making the headache worse.

Fearne uses her Ice Knife as an ice pack for when he needs it, and keeps a small mix of flowers to smell when it gets bad.

Orym keeps Gust handy if a smell gets particularly bad, but can Druidcraft little flowers to smell if Ash needs it.

Laudna is particularly handy with her Ray of Frost if a lot of things hurt, but tends to just keep anyone trying to interact with Ash away by simply being a little scary to them.

FCG tends to be avoided by Ash at all costs unless it gets incredibly bad. Then the aeormaton finds them.

Chetney is like a non-magical Laudna. Scary when someone gets close, but checks in every so often to make sure they're still doing okay.

My #1 post of 2022

If someone tried, the blend of anticipation, tension and pure worry could be cut with a knife across the small room in Pike's home.

They are so close to getting Laudna back. Well, hopefully. The threat of Delilah reappearing still looms over their head, a darker presence among them.

"Everlight, please bring these friends together."

Orym blooms the brightest poppies to frame Laudna's face, the bright red against the inky expanse of her hair and pale frame.

And FCG tries, their attempt at compelling her back into reality fading to the edges of whatever magical energy is working its charm.

And Imogen tries, tears running down her face, terrified of losing her again.

And there's a collective release of breath as the Hells find Laudna amongst them again.

And she's in Whitestone, but it feels more like home than before. Like some sort of dream, rather than a nightmare.
