NPC 028: Evel'lahn (Patreon)

Not all a'garians are swept up in devotion and hateful fervor. Many lead the normal lives one would expect of them. Tending to their duties and caring for their loved ones. Yet still others instead find themselves drifting amid the sands and stumbling upon the old scars of Neivaun's battered past. Amidst these crumbling dunes of history are relics and artifacts worth more than their weight in gold and gems to those who know their value. A taste of finer things often serves as motivation enough to further involvement in delves and hunts for Neivaun's treasures; Though it also brings about involvement in her darker side.

Discussions about the weather, matters of politics, and worries about helpless involvement by impotent gods cease for individuals like Evel'lahn. Instead her guests speak of the dor'em nai, ancient democide, ghastly paper horrors, and old forgotten doom. But not before a few glasses of wine. It is always the smoothest way to obtain the most valuable treasures after all. Words spoken right from the mouths of the worlds most heinous villains and beloved heroes. Of course, even Evel'lahn is susceptible to childish pranks. Nothing humbles someone so learned as finding themselves taut, wobbling, and round from a friendly delivery of spiked blueberry wine. Must have been another of her fellow undying 'friends' from across the world. Maybe she even started this little back and forth with a delivery of spike blood wine...I tried to stick fairly close to the original appearance description of the wine taster here. I am still a little iffy on the lip piercing, but once I did the lips and they came out as plump as they did, I just sorta went with it when a friend suggested it. Though the goal was definitely to make her feel like she was more complimentary to another NPC. I think it's rather obvious, but Evel'lahn is going to be given the blueberry treatment of course. I'm hopeful her shade of violet feels good against her heavy blue and purple tones. You can look forward to a nice belt snap and maybe some pops of her sleeve and thigh bands too.

Also at some point I'd really like to implement backgrounds that are just a bit more dynamic. I've said it before, but at some point I wanna revisit the lighting system and part of that is so I can try and get a feeling of morning and evening in there not just day and night.
