Petition: Do not stop transgender people from receiving care in mainstream hospital wards

The previous government proposed changes to the NHS constitution which would mean transgender hospital patients in England may not be treate

Well fucks? Get to it!

From the supplement “Sandstorm: Mastering the Perils of Fire and Sand”

I imagined Khalid’s mother as a Wild Elf before she was enslaved and sold by merchants. But maybe a Painted Elf of the Calim Desert…!

Painted Elves

More closely related to wild elves than high elves, painted elves commonly dwell in petrified forests-which in ages past, they claim, were their ancestral homes. The painted elves take their name from the nature of the wastes in which they dwell, but also from their habit of camouflaging themselves with pigments derived from the mineral deposits found in such places. Though they rarely see visitors-since painted deserts and petrified forests offer little in the way of treasure— painted elves are extremely distrustful of outsiders, and can turn on guests at the slightest provocation.

Painted elves are in most regards identical to wild elves, as outlined in the Monster Manual (which in turn are based on the high elf detailed in the Player's Handbook).

The exceptions to the standard Player's Handbook elf are summarized below:

• +2 Dexterity, -2 Intelligence: Painted elves are every bit as graceful and agile as high elves, but they are a bit more limited in their understanding of the world around them, having experience with little more than their own petrified domains.

• Favored Class: Druid. A multiclass painted elf's druid class does not count when determining whether he takes an experience point penalty for multiclassing.

AAAAAAAAAA I LOVE BALDURS GATE 1 MY BELOVED

~ intro ~

(redraw of og/ee intro)

glowering jaheira

Decided to write a general summary/timeline thing for my Jaheira and Khalid raise the bhaalspawn AU, my bhaalspawn’s name is Evune and she lives there now. I did need to mess with the timeline a bit so just roll with it

————————————————————————————————————————————

1348- Gorion saves baby Evune from the bhaal temple but decides to give her to Jaheira and Khalid due to his own guilt

They take a break from the Harpers but are still heavily involved with the network to keep tabs on things and return fully once evune is a teenager.

1368- Gorion finds out about Sarevok and tries to warn them and gets killed. Good play through bg1 events follow

The party is Evune, Imoen, Jaheira, Khalid, Minsc, and Dynaheir but the other characters are involved at certain points

J+K tell her she’s a bhaalspawn earlier than you find out in the game

Normal SoD events happen and they stop the crusade but Irenicus comes to ruin everything, Evune is found not guilty of skies murder but is banished from the city so the party meet up before irenicus ruins everything again and captures them.

1369- during their captivity Dynaheir is killed in front of imoen (rip girly im so sorry) and irenicus intends to to the same with Khalid and Evune BUT Evune makes a deal with him that she would be an active participant in his experiments (very morally dubious move on her end leading to her becoming a fallen ranger) This disturbs her and she keeps this deal a secret from everyone.

Good playthrough Bg2 (+ ranger class side quest to restore her ranger status) but Khalid is also there. Evune’s a much softer character now than in bg1 because she doesn’t feel “good” anymore

1370- Throne of bhaal plot and Evune gives up her essence of bhaal (it’s a surprise tool that will help us later)

1372- a couple years later complications from irenicus’ experiments start really messing Evune up and she is taken to a healing house to try and heal her, but a cultist of bhaal seeking revenge finds out about this and in her weakened state she is fatally wounded. (I did flirt with the idea of this happening while J+K are at moonrise but I haven’t decided yet)

Fun fact: when I originally made this au Khalid still died but I was talking to a friend about it and they said “both her husband AND her daughter? Jaheira cant have shit” and I hadn’t thought about that and it seemed really mean plus it means Jaheira x Khalid lives on!!!! so I brought Khalid back. Rip Evune tho

-Fast forward to BG3 time

1464- ??? Is born

1487- ??? Is killed and used as a vessel to create Durge, along with other offerings, the water from the winding river where bhaal was killed by cyric and fell from the boareskyr bridge, and Evune’s discarded essence

1492- Bg3 Orin betrays Durge who forgets everything including her own name. Durge becomes paranoid about dying and becoming a faithless since they don’t know what god they worshiped so latches onto the first deity they come across which is Silvanus in the grove so she becomes a Druid. (They don’t know a lot about mindflayers)

Because of the essence Evune is able to communicate with Durge and is basically the anti Sceleritas Fel saying “nooo don’t kill people nooo :(“

They mainly talk when Durge is long resting (like the dream visitor but less frequently), they can communicate while Durge is awake but generally don’t.

Evune is a passive observer to the events of the game via Durge. I think of her like an invisible ghost following Durge around.

I had a dream that I was walking and I passed a store that had a pair of Jaheira and Khalid plushies, I immediately went in to buy them but I woke up before I could purchase them :( so I drew them :)

I remember they were this kind of style/shape (I distinctly remember they were sitting up like this) but I don’t remember much else about what they looked like so I substituted in the gaps

Also insert the “don’t turn me into a marketable plushie” meme here

Look what I found while cleaning my closets. 🥰

AAAAAAAA SHE LOVES HIM SO MUCH I CRY I LOVE THEM VRGYJUHTFRC THANK YOU FOR THIS
