Kellvember, Day 8: The Cliffs above Rosymorn Monestary

Full post on tumblr, since AO3 is still down.
The night was clear, stars reflected in the shimmering expanse of the waterfall below. The distant rush of the water added a quiet hum to the silence, almost hypnotic. Gale’s bare feet dangled over the cliffside, his face softened in the moonlight, deep in thought. For a moment, she simply watched him, caught by the serene yet melancholic picture he made.  Gale jumped to his feet with surprising agility, spinning around with a spell half-cast, a glowing ball of flame suspended in his palm. It took only a heartbeat for recognition to dawn, and he dropped the spell with an apologetic chuckle.

Kellvember, Day 9: At long last, I'll be free

Still one of my all-time favorite art pieces by the incredible wildmagickatie
Gale stood with his face tipped up toward Mystra’s statue, the Crown of Karsus hanging loose in his right hand, as if he had forgotten it was there. Or as if holding it tightly would have been an admission of something.Celeste did not speak. Her hand found his shoulder and rested there, light and warm, an offering rather than a claim. She felt the tension in him through the cloth, a tremor held too carefully to be anything but fear.His left hand reached back for her. It did not grasp so much as search, and when it found hers his fingers closed with a hold she knew well. It was the grip of a man who had spent a lifetime reaching for the sky and was, for once, asking the ground to keep him upright.She let him lean.

Kellvember, Day 4: Class and Skills

VP by lavakariana
Celeste is a Draconic Bloodline sorceress with two levels of Bard (for fluff and that super handy short rest spell). To keep her grounded and avoid any hint of a Mary Sue, I built and leveled her as an actual D&D character, letting the game shape her into a believable set of stats and skills.

Kellvember, Day 6: Barefoot

VP by faeriiefire

Why she goes unshod is not hers to explain yet, that answer waits in the coming chapters of Hell is Empty. You are free to guess, of course. (And asked to remain silent, if you know)
Post-tadpole Celeste doesn't wear shoes. Ever.She's not entirely sure why, the hows and whys are lost somewhere behind Orin's cruelty, like so much else. But her feet simply don't mind. Sharp rocks, uneven ground, mud, water, stone or cobblestone....none of it bothers her. She walks and fights without any foot or ankle support, as naturally as anyone else walks in boots, and it never once crosses her mind that it's strange, until Astarion points it out.The companions find it endlessly amusing. There's a light wonder woven through the laughter, the occasional raised eyebrow, but given their circumstances, it's not a prioritized topic. After the game, when she moves to Waterdeep with Gale, Celeste finally acquires a pair of boots she rarely wears. She usually relies on easy illusory magic to hide her bare feet, the boots more a courtesy to Gale than a comfort to herself.

Kellvember, Day 3: Character Design
I truly enjoy reading character stories and designs this thoughtfully crafted — I admire how you plot everything out in advance, and I genuinely adore your foresight. I, on the other hand... am more of a chaotic player. I build characters on "good enough." I start with a vague idea, open the character generator, and just start clicking together a class I'm curious to try. And as an avid, experienced roleplayer, I let their stories unfold while I play. They grow into who they are through the journey itself (or, you know, they don't). By the time I created Celeste, there were a few mods available and she was born from a simple "she looks cute enough." That's how I ended up with an OC wearing Shadowheart's face and Lae'zel's hair. Her heterochromatic eyes were a spontaneous idea. I have always liked the idea and found the button to active heterochromia. Two years later, here we are. I am asking you for a moment of silence for all the forgotten Tavs who never left Act One 😁

Kellvember, Day 5: Celeste's complicated relationship with music

render by my darling friend rdekarios for Chapter 14 of Song of Love and Loss
Celeste never had formal training as a bard. Music came to her the way most good things did: through love, and the people who cared for her.She was in love with a bard for a while, and through that love, music first found her. Later, she lived with her step-parents. Her stepfather, Sarbran, was a retired bard who played the piano and sang with a beautiful baritone. His partner, Geffroi, was a traveling bard who spent his summers with them in Baldur's Gate. He became the most influential presence in Celeste's musical journey, encouraging her and teaching her every summer. He was also the first person to ever drag her onto a stage. But during her time in the cult, music became something else.As a bhaalspawn, Celeste is largely immune to pain. She recognizes it, but it doesn't affect her the way it reaches most people. Over time, she found herself fleeing into her own mind, composing music while things happened to her body. It was a skill she honed and developed over years, a safety measure born of necessity, a quiet place she built inside herself no one else could touchAfter the tadpole, Gale gifts her a lute; one he buys from Mattis in the Emerald Grove. And without knowing how or why, Celeste finds herself able to play and sing. There are no Faerûn-fitting songs sung by her just yet, but the voice claim for Celeste is Maphra.

Kellvember, Day 1: Introduction

art by zigloo
Born beneath whispers and raised on suspicion, The Dark Urge learned early that love is often optional in a cruel world—and that survival, more often than not, demands something sharper than wit.Long before she was ever named the Savior of Baldur’s Gate, she was a cursed child: feared by those around her, rejected by the one meant to protect her, and stalked by a hunger she could neither name nor master.In the years that followed, The Dark Urge became many things—some chosen, some forced upon her: prodigy, exile, weapon, thief, lover, hero. She walked the fragile line between salvation and ruin, fought battles both divine and personal.And beneath it all, constant and unyielding, was the truth of her making.

2026 is the year of self-indulgence, and although it did not all go according to plan, I intend to close it in that spirit.

Which is why November will be #Kellvember.

Please mute the tag if you don't want to see these posts.

SkidMark doesn't care. #TheEpsteinAdministration figures it will at least be a distraction and possibly get a few votes from the slobbering goons, especially if #SenileSatan jumps in to be the MC and fire the first shot.

Hell is empty and all the Devils are here
Book 1: Dawn, Chapter 14

archiveofourown.org/works/844159...
A young half-grown orc—or perhaps simply a young orc; I was never particularly good at guessing ages from a distance—approached me. He had olive-toned skin, dark hair, and bright, gleaming eyes. He was handsome enough, I decided and appeared sufficiently interested in me. He bowed. "Would you care for some company, my lady?" I managed not to snort into my ale and simply nodded. He proved as suitable as I had anticipated and the evening offered me an opportunity to satisfy several cravings at once. He had large hands, an eager dispositio, and a surprising amount of gold on his person. He was beautiful, too, in the way people sometimes are when they have not yet learned to conceal their enthusiasm or their vulnerability. He was also, eventually, dead.

Next step is to bring in #SenileSatan to take the first shot, or push the plunger on the syringe, or drop the sack of Zyklon B.

Book 1: Dawn
Chapter 11

archiveofourown.org/works/844159...
My consciousness tumbled over itself in a dizzying scramble, desperately attempting to synthesize a plausible and functional narrative that could adequately mask the truth of my physical condition and the rather unambiguous geometry of the newly deceased man lying directly before me. I possessed the absolute certainty—the terrible swiftness of knowledge that arrives when deliberation is impossible—that no simple explanation would suffice. They would see only the blood on my hands and the profound stillness surrounding the body, and no amount of practiced eloquence could possibly redirect their conclusions.
