The Spirit of Giving
The celebration of the Winter Solstice is once again in season all across the plane of Crossroads, but for the downtrodden of Oplentis's 13th district, it is a poor salve for their daily woes. While conditions in the district have been improving gradually ever since...
Looks Like Kitty Got Wet
This piece was yet another YCH that I purchased off Marsel-Defender back in December of 2022. I'm fond of writing slice-of-life pieces for these fantastical, magical characters, because I want them to feel like real people. Although he is a splendid mage, Edmund is also...
Bring Home the Bacon
As Azurium, like any former officer in the Oplentian army, would tell you how important it was for his men to go on regular hunts in order to control the monster population, keeping them away from the city limits. Almost every major city on the...
Bold Escape
In the early days, as Volpes and Azurium were establishing their operations, it was important to build up a reputation by pulling off bold, daring acts of rebellion against Oplentian authority. Azurium still had to work to maintain his cover as captain of the guard,...
Edmund, Eye of the Storm
This card was illustrated by Rerepop back in October of 2022. I saw a YCH from them and thought it would be the perfect art for an Edmund card. Unfortunately, I think it is my least favorite among all of the card designs I've ever shared...
Shock and Claw
This piece from Wolfgangcake back in October of 2022 is a crossover between my Edmund and a Ferris, a werewolf character owned by a friend of mine, ig88_0x. We collaborated to write twin stories telling the tale from our respective characters' perspectives. My half of...
Rabrandt, Sage of Etheirys
That artwork by Seiryuuden was commissioned for the express purpose of being on this card, representing my character as a Sage from Final Fantasy XIV. In game, Sage's a healers that primarily make use of shields to protect allies as the busy themselves mending wounds. At...
Help is on the Way
Not every job an adventurer can take requires a brute capable of dealing out or taking punishment, or a magician who can pelt their foes from a distance. Some require heroes of another type, who can deliver succor to the sick and wounded. And after his...
Pumped Up at the Bonfire Festival
At the dawn of Crossroad's recorded history, once the Great Planeswalker Wars had been brought to an end, it is said that the remaining footsoldiers, humans and beastkin bereft of hearth and home, gathered together around a massive bonfire to celebrate the end of their...
Rabrandt, the Reaper // Rabrandt, the Shrouded
About one year into Endwalker's release cycle, I had played enough Reaper to get a stronger idea of how it feels. With that in mind, since I now had art from LittleBadWolf of my character both as a normal and enshrouded Reaper, it felt appropriate...
