Hi all,

I need an opinion. I tend to collect and catalog links/images related to all manner of "inhabitants" of my D&D setting, particularly those who would be NPCs all over Faerun. This is useful to me as a DM, since anytime my Players could possibly encounter (for example) a Luskan pirate, I can immediately conjure up an image/picture for them to look at. (I sometimes use an iPad to show a descriptive image (screenshot) of what the Players are seeing for the first time, like the first time they ever see what an Umberhulk looks like).

I stumbled upon one awesome pic… clearly a Human couple. But I'm trying to come up with a label for them. Would they fit the description of Damarans? Illuskans? Some Rus/Slavic equivalent culture in the Realms?? See link below.

Oh and this same artist has on her DeviantArt webpage…. the very first Storm Silverhand illustration I've seen. Never realized how stunning Stormy is. And what's up with that creepy ghostly head near her? Kinda ruins her sexy pose.

and let the flames begin.

sylune has cursed you with the tri fold curse of mystra

why is being a wizard like being a drow? both are likely to find a dagger in the back from a rival or one looking to further his own goals, fame and power

Well, the lady in the couple is basic enough to fit in a lot of places, but the guy sure has a lot of Oriental influences. So they would make more a couple from the middle(but, not the Horselands). Or Thesk could work as they got over run with Oriental stuff.

Well, she is a bit over dressed for Storm.....

And that is one of her sisters, Selyne, as the ghost head...

I really like that picture of Storm... Of course, there is a bit of bias, there -- I have a thing for attractive women wearing overalls and nothing else.

I just set that pic of Storm as the wallpaper on my phone... Though I positioned it so that Sylune's head isn't showing. While I do think it reasonable to include her in the pic, having just a ghostly floating head there is kinda weird.
