Lyrana Blackwing, Dark Elf Bard, in a Fine Dress (Patreon)

Lyrana, the legendary dark elf bard who is almost as brave as she is flamboyant, trying on a fine dress! I originally drew this sketch on a page I used to track Lyrana’s HPs, hero points, and spell slots!

Character: Lyrana Blackwing, Dark Elf Bard and Theomachist Heroine

Lyrana Blackwing is a kind, flamboyant, and truly optimistic dark elf bard. Among her hedonistic and often cowardly people, Lyrana was one of the few dark elves brave enough to risk the wrath of the vengeful gods by venturing to the Overworld in a quest to spread hope with her art and beauty.

Lyrana loves compliments, being the center of attention, spreading love and joy, and also sexy paladins. While she dislikes violence, she knows that sometimes persuasion is not enough to turn the tide of battle against the warring gods of Naam.

Together with saintslayer and paladin hunk Edron Loys, and legendary halfling chef and transmuter Roula Stroumboulidou, Lyrana helped save the city of Neutro (now Salvatia) from godly annihilation and slay the aberrant demigod Neutro who lurked in the caverns below. Now a demigodslayer, Lyrana is hailed as one of the greatest living heroes of Theomachy.

Lyrana is one of my own characters in Theomachy! You may recognize her from lots of other sketches, illustrations, and homebrew!

About the Theomachy setting:

In this setting, Theomachy, vengeful gods fight each other for the ultimate control of the universe, while the mortals of Naam struggle for power on a dying world. Divine magic is a force without expressed will that the warring gods hoard and wield against each other, threatening to undo the entire world. Clerics and paladins are either devout followers of the warring gods or theomachists. Theomachists fight against the gods, liberating diving magic and using it against them.

In Theomachy, dark elves are refugees who upon being cursed by the gods, sought refuge in the Sunken World underground to escape their terrible wrath. These dark elves are not inherently evil. They are mostly apathetic and sometimes hedonistic recluses who seek to shut the rest of the world out. Very few leave the relative safety of the Sunken World for the terrible Overworld where the gods fight each other for dominance.
