Happy N7 Day to you, Spectres! Today I’ve prepared for you a thematic collections of my fanarts with the characters of my the most beloved series of games. A glass of Ryncol to everybody at my expense! :D

“The World of Ivendarea” is my personal worldbuilding project, in which I aim to bring to life the setting of my original fantasy story “The King of Ivendarea” in the shape of an art- and lore book.
The King of Ivendarea – a Fantasy Novel in Progress
Ivendarea is a nation in political turmoil. For millennia, the native Nyr lived in relative isolation – not always in peace, but they are a people hungry for knowledge rather than power. Refugees and curious travellers from other nations were always welcomed and quickly integrated into their society. This changed a little over 500 years ago. The Assadin arrived, not only fleeing the violence and war on their home continent, but also wanting to make Ivendarea their own. In bloody conflicts that lasted decades they emerged somewhat victorious. Agreeing on a truce and fragile peace treaty with the Nyr, the Assadin established their kingdom on the Ivendarean mainland, but the large island Maan Garth off the western shore of Ivendarea remained under almost exclusive control of the Nyr.
But centuries of this hard fought-for peace are facing their end. A rebellious underground movement is fighting the Assadin and Nyr rulers alike, and the formerly prosperous relationship with the neighbouring country Darthonis is crumbling. Almost forgotten secrets and crimes are exposed, shaking long-standing organizations to the core. Ivendarea’s magic itself slowly spirals out of control. It is up not only to the king of Ivendarea to restore peace and balance, but everyone, from newly recruited soldier to Royal Scholar, from orphan to high-ranking heir, from refugee to reincarnated prophet to take a stand and make a change before the nation tears itself apart.
Background
Since 2012 I have been working on and off on “The King of Ivendarea”. On my first try of bringing the entire story to paper I ended up writing myself into a corner about a third in – due to inexperience and lack of planning. But the idea of this story and world, its characters, its messages never left me alone and I want to finally make it real.
I have decided, as part of my preparation before I start another attempt of writing “The King of Ivendarea”, I first want to feel like its world is alive and breathing. “The World of Ivendarea” is not only supposed to become a companion piece to “The King of Ivendarea” (and its potential sequel(s)), but also a sandbox of sorts for others to use to tell their own stories! As a huge fan of tabletop RPGs, I want to provide a fleshed out setting to other DMs looking for inspiration, and adventures for players in a whole new world they have not explored yet.
Goals and Patreon Support
I am currently devoting 90% of my art-time to progressing with my worldbuilding endeavours! Over the course of the last year I have introduced Ivendarea’s people and wrote about the world’s magic, government, and history – but there is still so much to flesh out in detail!
An idea for early next year is to start making short YouTube videos talking about my world in detail, introducing its historical events and locations for a start. Simultaneously I will continue writing about and illustrating Ivendarea little piece by piece, to make this artbook a reality.
With only my art I’m sadly not able yet to make a living, so I’m working a small dayjob in retail. It is not the worst, but physically demanding and mentally tiring, particularly during these times, which impacts my ability to create more often than I would like to.
With your support on Patreon I could dedicate more time to my art and writing, and potentially I will have time to also work on more fanart again, which I have been sorely missing as of late. Even more regular commissions would be an option again if I could afford quitting my dayjob to focus on my art full-time!
As my patron, you’ll not only get a sneak peek of all my artworks before everyone else, I’ll also regularly ask for your feedback so you can get involved in the creative process of making The World of Ivendarea a reality!
Do not hesitate to send me your questions about Ivendarea as a setting and also my projects “The World of Ivendarea” and “The King of Ivendarea”! If there is enough interest I might host a stream in the upcoming days to answer all questions, showcase what I have so far, and work on some art that’s going to be featured in “The World of Ivendarea”!
All important links to my Patreon, Ko-Fi, and World Anvil, where you can see for yourself what I’ve worked on over the past couple of years, can be found on my @ivendarea side blog!
Please reblog to spread the word, thank you!!

@anais-ninja-bitch may i offer you a scruffy Cavill in these trying times?
Look I don’t go here but it’s objectively true that this guy gets hotter the longer he goes without a shower and a razor.
@elvensemi I have to protest, have you seen him in Enola Holmes?
