Description
...As Belรกd Bonceduil, the white Hermit, was working in his smithy, trying to ease his mind with work, still his mind keep wandering to the painful memories of the past...
He heared some birds flying away, as well some leads being moved, so he knew somebody was coming: he knew his swamp, but he expected some wild elves of the closest village called Al'Jathis, wanting to exchange some of their fruits for some of his work, or even some of the monsters that wander in the swamps of Saahdons... But there was standing a elven ranger, a female swordwoman he didn't recogniced.
"Good day father!" she said, as she aproached, smiling
The white hermit was clearly perplexed, and didn't know what to say.
"Don't you recognice you own daughter? because you are the same!"
"Sarinee?" mumbled Belรกd, incredulous... the last time when he see her, before he breake with his wife, family and the High Elves, as well with the Hidden Kingdom of Rohnion, she was only a girl beginning her puberty... and now, she was a full grown woman, and a ranger in unknow armor.
"Surely you managed to hide well, in this hole! It was difficult to track you down! What a place to live!"
He didn't know how to react... he had his reasons to breake with his past... but it was something never a daughter could never understand or forgive...
After he leaved, he keep correspondence with his daughter for years, until one time, she asked him to stop writing and to rooth in hell, and she never answered again other of his letters... and finally, he stopped sending them as well...
After so many years, he was happy to see her daughter, who was a bundle of joy in these dark days... but why she have come now?
"I see, you are now a ranger of the Hidden Kingdom of Rohnion"
"You know is the only way to leave that valley filled by these arrongant airheads"
"yeah... I know that need to leave"
"So... you aren't going to congratulate your daughter for being a ranger?"
She huged his father, who do the same.
"So blacksmith: what you think about the new armor of the rangers of Rohnion?"
"It seems interesting... a new technic in crafting them?"
"Yeah... and also, the chain mails you and the western high elves use are obsolete! You should actualizate your goods!"
... It was a nice visit, some wonderful days, before Sarinee leaved to explore the world for adventure, after being raised between the confined walls that where the mountains of the hidden valley...
... neither of them asked what they wanted to ask, or speaked what they needed to speak, chatering about superficial things... instead of the reasons why he married her mother, if he never loved her, meanwhile he aimed for a princess that despise all his efforts allways ignored that simple foreigner... why he choosed to leave behind her daughter and family... or what happened, that make he break with the high elves... or of Sarinee's mother...
It was the last time he see her alive. Once again, they exchanged letters and correspondence, in wich her daughter told him the wonders of a new world she was discovering...
Until her last letter, telling that she was going with her adventure party to visit the uncharted Kazrrad, the underworld, and visit the centre of the world...
Then, nothing.

At least, he know now that not all drow are following the Spidery path...

Oh wow the white hermit's daughter was so beautiful, we didn't really see the face all that well on the elf on the altar before... now we know... ouch... I still feel bad for young Lo'Kee having been forced to do it...

Very hard to look at this picture knowing what happened to this beautiful girl.
Well, I remember what Hastur said about the way to the hermit's house! And Hastur lived in the vicinity. Sarinee dared to go across those swamps alone and in the armor. What means: she was tough, brave... and careless! She could disappear forever well before she went to the underworld.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
But she is an experimentated ranger: a show of that is that she was able to find and track down all the way to the house of his father :3
the Hermit could be very proud of her, as her habilities make him remember his "adventurer times", crossing from north to south and east to west Aels and Zarhuy
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
I suppose, you mean "an experienced ranger"? 
I must say, it's very hard to look at this picture, knowing that this beautiful and courageous girl was murdered. It was easy to say about Belรกd that his daughter was sacrificed in the Temple of Doom. Now, looking at her, it's very hard to think about it.

Perhaps one of the essential qualities of the White Hermit that he passes on via his genes is NOT to do things the "right" way, but is actually curiousity, and a willingness to experiment?
Laeh'le is pulled between those two force within her, making her more of a screw-up than she should be? If she should learn to integrate them properly and believe in herself--she will be magnificent!
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Laeh'le is engaged in a kind of activity that demands talent, knowledge, and long practice.
I believe in her. She is always sitting with a book. She reads a lot. I wouldn't be surprised if one day she would learn from the books things which most of the drows never knew. She may learn not only secrets of magic, but unknown (or "undesirable") episodes of history, other ideologies, religions, philosophies. And maybe she will learn that in one world she is Laeh'le Dahl'Arak, but in the other - she is Laeh'le Bonceduil.

I didn't think of that, in your pic, she may well be thought of as experimenting! She may well expand her horizons because of the information she has learned, much of which might not be about just magic?
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Yes, my pic is just a "sexy pin-up", I didn't attempt to show anything except "magic workout". But I believe that Laeh'le would surprise us in future

I know that she is just sitting down, but it does seem like an action pic in a way!

well, she wanted to experiment, and she was experimentated

a very touching sad story and the picture is very heartwrenching...
the underdark is a dangerous place, but, I hope they are reunited...
another excellent chapter in the series!

Wow....this is some story...what dose the trio have to do with this...?
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Is a flashback from the White Hermit... these are the memories that haunt him!
Is also necesary to tell this, for where I'm going to bring the story :3

You've given me plenty to think about with my out of wack OTM fic thanks! X3

algun dia tendre que leer cada una de las historias que escribes para tus dibujos

Here was a story that needed to be told! I don't know why I didn't think of it! We get to see the White Hermit look happy for a rare change! The expression looks almost awkward on him! He seems affectionate but nervous all at once!
We also have the question of why he left a secluded kingdom to eventually live in a secluded island in a swamp! There are clues, some are quite obvious. He is a foreign elf--a high elf to be sure--but a foreigner all the same living in the kingdom of Rohnion. I would speculate that it was an insular, arrogant society, much like the Grey elves from D&D. Belad probably couldn't meet public expectations? I will have to check his story in the timeline to see, it suggests that--for once--he didn't leave because his craft was seen as unorthodox? It suggests that plate armor is coming into a vogue--and amongst the Rohnion elves who I would normally imagine might be the last ones to get it? For that matter, some of it is plate, some of it looks like it might be laminated cloth armor?
It is all very poignant, as he had reestablished a rapport with his Sarinee. I don't know if she had a name before this, but we have now seen that she is someone that we have glimpsed before. At least she now has a face and a voice that we can know beyond a hapless body awaiting sacrifice. Sarinee looks like a decent adventurer--but "journeys to the centre of the world" are fraught with peril! They didn't get beyond Negeemiliel--unless they got nailed on the way back! 
We get to see the outside of Belad Bonceduil's house! That incredible window was part of the original design, clearly Belad is a skilled artisan in many, many ways! He ought to make a good living regardless of where he lived, but chooses to live isolated? One wonders, if perhaps he acted with rage and insanity doing something that he has regretted ever since to explain his penance? But, having looked at his story on a timeline once, he has repeatedly ran afoul of elven doctrines; he may have given up on societies in disgust.
He could have been a great leader amongst the wild elves of Al'Jathis--but chose not to. Were they too simple for him? He refused to give a sword to Hastur once--perhaps reasoning (correctly!) that it would have been akin to putting a gun in the hands of a careless, angry young punk. Yet he must sell his wares somewhere--and we know that he can barter and play up the role of merchant very well. If nothing else, he was a soldier once in extreme warfare, he knows what horrors weapons and hate can inflict. Making weapons and armor is his passion, but not one that he particularly enjoys?

In the continent of Zarhuy, dwarves and High Elves are ahead in matter of armor:
The local humans, aside from the Baziks of the north, almost don't use armors... the beast people: none.
And the kanov, orcs and wild, sand, Im'salanos and desert rider elves use lighter armors, like mails...
so is pretty new for Zarhuy, but not so in Aels and Ushaenor in this time :3
Also: an elf had a long live, to dedicate himself to craft beatiful things! X3
He sells mostly to Blazakhovian trade outposts, selling and adquiring equipment and supplies. :3

Thanks for the info. I went and looked at the Zarhuy map again, I have a better grasp on the White Hermit and where the drow trio ended up now.

Thought, he is in the very north of Saahdons, very near the plains of Antor :3

Sad story, indeed.. the sorrow of a man...
The Underdark is very, very dangerous...
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Not just the drow.... Illithids (Mind-flayers), Duergars (Grey dwarves), and other horrors...
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
personally, I think drows, dwarves, orcs and goblins are the less of your worries down there... and the deeper, the worse 
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Oh yes, it worsen when you go lower...
in FR, schoalrs separated the Underdark in thre regions geographicaly - the lower degree is... dark, much less known, even drow and pals dont get there much...
Perfect for undying ones to remain there, quiet. Also, elementals... and compared to Eberron, Cthulhu grade monsters-demons instead in Khyber (eberron's version of the underworld)
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
lovely place to visit
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
It's perhaps worse in Ebberon in a way, because its not even natural - its like a pocket dimension or such when you go deep enough, like a darker version of the older tales of 'hell center of the earth'.
There is cryptic notes to the 'Lords of Khyber', and insane cults to them... or so I remember.
