This. This is what drives me crazy about so much #worldbuilding, whether its a novel, movie, or a roleplaying setting. Pretty much only #Glorantha and #Shadowrun actually manage to nail this, from my experience, though some of the #Eberron books give it a good effort.

Cover of a comic titled The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard. It's the 49th volume and costs $4.99. The subtitle is The All-New Adventures of Dram-83. The cover uses warm oranges and blues and has heavy linework. A dunmer in a face scarf is kneeling on the side of a building holding a sword, his face and body heavily shadowed in the sunset.
Real missed opportunity IMO for Elder Scrolls comics, so I went ahead and imagined my own. The 83rd incarnation of Dram fights for behalf of the Empire in the Great War... or does he?

Tamriel: The Loveletter to Glorantha
This is an article I have been meaning to write for a while now and it is finally finished! I talk about how the world of Glorantha heavily inspired some key aspects of The Elder Scrolls from the Redguard-Morrowind period and forward. drnightst.one#es-44
There were some issues with the links to the music. Fixed now! π

So, I commissioned trans artists to draw Alchemy in celebration of all the amazing trans folks in our lives, and in protest of assholes trying to take away their rights

A well-deserved recognition.
