The Rise of Morundine (Patreon)

Gem of Reality Warping: Rise of Morundine - After the successful expansion of the Nightfolk's underground kingdom into the ancestral Dwarven Kingdoms, a fierce war was expected to break out. But to everyone's surprise, the Nightfolk were quite convivial with the Dwarves, inviting them to partake in their special ceremonies and imbibe from their delightful potions that they promised would only bring the Dwarves good spirits and long lives. A few years later, the Dwarven Kingdoms had been gladly surrendered by the Dwarves who had changed to fit the needs of the Nightfolk. Not a beard could be found and the jokes how you couldn't see the difference between a male and a female Dwarf were now inversely true. Now a race of soft and lady-like people, known for their deferential nature and pathological fear of dirt, they made excellent maids and servant staff.

In this day and age, we see the daily grind of House Shadowflax's most dedicated servant, Yosha Underbarrow, who struggles with her memories of being some kind of king? King of the Dwarves? Ridiculous. If anything, she'd be a queen, right? And since when do Dwarves have kingdoms? No, no, no time for weird daydreams! Mistress Vidalia Shadowflax is calling!

(Post-TF of a Male-to-Female-presenting Dwarf, set in the Realm of the Gem of Reality Warping, which probably needs a proper name at some point.)

Really sorry about no story for this one either. I just can't come up with much narrative stuff at the moment :(

In any case, always fun to draw shortstacks with frackles <3
