The Armorican Peninsula is a strange and wondrous place, a mist-shrouded land full of magic and mystery, where the mortal realm of Bedouar and the timeless vastness of Faerie coexist side by side, the great veil ripped apart by uncontrollable magic, causing time and space to collapse into disarray. Unearthly fog rolls in, cutting off travelers from where they came and pure magical chaos rolls across the region in great storms. Fortune can be found in the borders of Faerie to the brave and the lucky, death for the foolish.
The treacherous coast of the region, the Ar Mor Bras, is no stranger to these twists of fate, home to the lost city of Ys-Beneath-the-Waves and its accursed princess, Ahes Dahut. Throughout the ages, some individuals find themselves caught in the whirlpool of magic surrounding this mystical site, and are drawn in by the phantom bells of the sunken city and the enchanting, enticing song of those trapped by its curse....
Back in 2019, I launched a special series for Mermay, an art project to develop a small, but important part of the lore of Alvez, the world of Kroashent. The Marie-Morgane of Ys-Beneath-the-Waves are one of several merfolk races of the world. For this project, I decided to "adapt" each of the Dungeons and Dragons Character Classes into a character as they may appear in Alvez, then transform these characters into mermaids with art and short stories! Since then, I've been working hard on developing the world and the characters who live, there, even writing an ongoing novella, Kroashent: Bal des Loups, which you can read the first 3 chapters right now, for free! A lot has changed as I worked and some of the art and stories seemed like they could use an update!
Those who have followed Kroashent and specifically the Mermay series will recognize the Paladin Aisha min Iram, a former member of the military order, the Urzh Kroashent (Knights of the Crossroads). Of the Marie-Morgane, Aisha is the most directly tied to the main story of Kroashent, serving as a friend, companion and comrade to Kathalia Bisclavret when both were operating with the Order, until a series of shocking betrayals destroyed the knights. I recently updated Aisha's design for a separate project and decided to do something different for her, a little vignette of Aisha and Kathalia in earlier, happier times on the fortress island of Maleth.
