You meet a very personable frog-man and an extremely ominous elven wizard. (1807)
"... But I digress."
Sometimes that ancient horror you dug up wants to talk about architecture. (1795)
"I wonder what's in there."
A bit of a mood piece, for a project I'm vaguely calling 'Grey Dreams'. (1793)
A little scene based off of this great post. I remain writing a thing involving these two. (1792)
"And so I sez to them, I sez-"
Aidra and Gyran. In a fit of productive writing, I've written about their (mis)adventures at approximately NaNoWriMo speed over nearly the past week. Terrifying. (1659)
Dwarves, gaunts, elves and nursiians
Elves, dwarves, gaunts and sometimes Children of Nursiir hold themselves to be the elder races of Geos. This is not necessarily true, but who's going to argue with them? Does the wide extent of the ancient Dwarrowdrask give modern dwarven nations the mineral rights of first refusal on, well, basically everything on three continents? Are the Deep Roads for the dwarves alone? Is the eternal memory of the Dead Caste of the Sunless Isles proof that they know more than you, mortality-bound mammal? That they're wiser and greater than you can fathom, and you should trust the opinion of a bunch of long-mummified gaunts? Are modern elves the true inheritors of the wonders of the Crystal Age, of the Silver Elves themselves? The Sea Elven nation of Yldron-Oversea certainly maintains that position, citing their taming of the Sunken Archipelago's Worldscar as proof. (The note here in the 'Nursiian' section is a note that says 'gonna go come up with some smug stuff, BRB'. What do I even pay that guy for?) (1583-6)
“I go where I’m needed. No more, no less.”
It’s this guy! Some call him Aidra, because that’s his name. Some people call him ruder things. And sometimes he doesn’t have a name at all, because of reasons. He’s fun and might show up in all the Panspermias eventually. He has a list.

“You know, there’s a spell where you can ask some kind of master of games where the most important place you could be is, and wouldn’t ya know, it pointed me toward a rainy city where some protagonists might have been gathering.”
A gentleman who had a brief (for now) cameo in the streamed Deeper Dreams campaign. He’s incorrigible.

Artquest #900! We climbed a mountain! Once my soul is recaptured and forced back into my mortal shell, I’m sure we’ll get more art!
(900, because I didn’t say that already)
Anonymous asked:
Does Aidra truly fear anything? Lad's got some mad chill.
Yeah, there are things out there that scare him. Extenuating circumstances mean he’s very unlikely to be surprised, however, so when he is startled, he tends to be very startled.
Local Man Too Sarcastic To Feel Fear.
“Guess what time it is! I think I’ll audition for #696 and #699, too. Working on my singing voice.”
Oh no, it’s this guy.

“So, there we were, clinging to the side of an ancient Quvunti city as it careened through the skies, sneaking along a narrow ledge, avoiding the attention of a crystal dragon, when-”
Aidra, here pictured telling Cool Adventurous Stories to an Impressionable Youth (Bebe, his niece).
“So, is this your card?”
Return of this guy and his deck of many nonsenses. I guess he counts as the ‘iconic’ Nursiian/Child of Nursiir?
“I’m incorrigible!”
Oh No, It’s This Guy Again, who turns up both in Q&A, and in the wider Panspermia setting.
“Describe your character in one (1) image”
It’s Aidra, and sometimes you just want to meme.
Is it still a spoiler to call him by his name? Maybe.
