Apologies to everyone waiting on updates, been stuck in a bit of a depressive episode (more like a season) and as a result I've also hit a major art rut. hopefully i can pull myself out of its soon and get back to answering asks at a regular interval again...

maybe. I have a lot of work to do nowadays with being a DM, helping develop a mc modpack, planning for a roadtrip, and trying to find good work.

I may answer some asks that don't require art to accompany it, but no promises lol

Do any of the Tarnished use magic? If so, who are they, and what type(s) do they use?

"Yes quite a few of us do actually! I myself study a myriad of different incantations, from dragon communion to flame of frenzy. Vestelle studies Glintstone sorceries, and is currently trying his hand at gravity sorceries. Poor Rosa, she's been trying for months now to learn blood incantations to no avail. And Magnolia... Well I've been teaching her incantations, she's quite the fast learner." -Maple

Hey all small update!

I would like to apologize for the sporadic posting, things have been a bit hectic as of late as friends and I prepare for a road trip this July. That and the fact that my weekly D&D campaign I run is beginning to ramp up and it requires a whole lot of my brain power.

This doesn't mean I'm not working on asks, I am albeit a bit slowly. so if you've sent in an ask don't worry I will get to it! it just may take some time, there are some questions I would like to go more in-depth with and making the visuals takes some time. And I want to be consistent with the quality of my work, even for an Ask Blog that's just for fun :)

fist bump anon here i guess idk

does hemlock have any friends and if so who

(if not can i be his friend pls)

Oh I do, I will admit I’m not very popular, though I do have some friends! Maple, Vestelle and Rosa are people I would consider my friends, they were the first people I had met who didn’t treat me differently because of my sickness. And then there’s my friend in the woods; Tolith, we pick mushrooms and herbs together! But you can still be my friend too <3 -Hemlock

Thank you little friend! I appreciate your kindness, not everyone treats me as an equal due to my illness. So this simple gesture is much welcomed! *fistbump* -Hemlock

[tarnished-garden]

how old is everyone?

For all of them, I'll be putting the age they died at, and the age that they also appear as physically. Though some of them have been tarnished for longer and some were dead for longer before being called by grace.

Maple is the oldest at 53 years old

then Clover at 48 years old

Vestelle is 39 years old

Rosa is either 31 or 32 years old (she cant seem to remember which it is)

Hemlock is somewhere between 20 and 24 years old (he also cant remember)

and Magnolia is the youngest at 12 years old

They at some point decided to count their years of being tarnished separate from their age, after realizing they weren't really aging.

Say hello to the Tarnished of the garden!

So Going from left to right

Rosa (she/ her, 5'6 167cm)

Before becoming Tarnished she served as a “battle maiden” to a dualists Colosseum, where she tended to the wounds of the victor and also served them in other ways… this is a time in her life she does not like talking about. After returning to the lands between she quickly found a friend in Varrè as they shared in their love of slaughter and bloodshed. Since Maple has become the vessel for the Elden Ring she has pledged to be his personal guard. Once a helpless maiden she is now a capable warrior. Though she still revels in her femininity and looks.

Vestelle (he/ him, 5'10 177cm)

From a young age he was told stories of his father whom he had never met, a grand champion with flowing red hair. Upon her deathbed his mother finally told him who his father really was. Radagon who was now the Elden Lord. This led Vestelle to Leyndell where he wished to finally meet his father after all these years, but was denied, believing he was a raving lunatic they simply killed him and had his body discarded far from the capital. He now after becoming Tarnished seeks to reunite his family; the rest of the Demi gods. As he yearns for the loving family that had been kept from him for all his life.

Maple (he/ him, 6'3 190cm)

Born into a tribe of fire monks, living a relatively peaceful and mundane life before the shattering. The specifics of his death are unknown as it is something that he does not like talking about with anyone, though one can assume that he may have died of frostbite due to his fingers and toes being permanently blackened even after his revival as a Tarnished. He is a man who wishes for equality throughout the lands between and seeks to unify the demigods, leading him to teaming up with Vestelle. After he takes the Elden Ring, becoming its vessel, he begins his work of reformation. Soon him and his Consort adopt a child together, a tarnished omen by the name of Magnolia.

Magnolia (she/ her, 4'7 139cm)

Maggie was found by Maple in the Siofra River after his battle with a strange grafted beast that had taken residence there. and she was brought to Leyndell where she was taken care of by the Lord and his Consort. And while she was wary of them at first she soon warmed up to them, and allowed herself to be adopted into their family.

Hemlock (he/ they/ it 6'1 185cm)

Unfortunately for Hemlock he does not remember much of his life before becoming tarnished, as the poison spores that now run through his bloodstream have done quite a number on his mind. He is in a constant battle with himself at all times fighting the urges he feels to kill others and spread his spores. He does not want to hurt his fellow tarnished but he also does not trust himself to always follow the right path, so he follows others. Doing what they say is right, rather than trusting his own sense of right and wrong. Hemlock is a very nervous man, afraid to open up to people and give them any weaknesses to use against him. so he closes himself off, choosing solitude over being betrayed, but he's learning slowly to be more trusting.

Clover (she/ they 5'3 160cm)

A very materialistic woman Clover is, so richness she sought out. One way or another it led her to Godrick, his obsession with the golden lineage gave her just enough leverage to worm her way into being close to the Grafted Lord. And oddly enough she found that she was not repulsed by the gruesome art of grafting, instead finding it intriguing. Soon enough she discovered why, Grafting suited her needs, her desire for affirmation. While she had always been treated like a woman sometimes she looked in the mirror and did not feel one. As if her body was not good enough for womanhood. So she asked her lord a favor, "I bring you grafting material to aid in your affirmations, and you aid me in mine. And from then I will forever collect more for you." and to her surprise Godrick agreed. So she began her work, of collecting parts for her beloved lord, but when she returned she found a bloody battle field and an empty throne. So she set out for Leyndell, praying that he had finally returned to his home of gold.
