Sora Esma found Gray-Eye the tibbit locked away in a Life book hidden in the halls of Arcanix. The troublemaker found himself on the wrong side of Sora Teraza's ire and bound to its pages. (Alt text 🥚)

The tibbit known as Gray-eye. Easter Egg: Gray-eye hails from the Talenta Plains, where he venerates the spirit of the Displacer Beast. It's wily ways have inspired him. He finds himself in trouble often, but usually his quick wit and charm gets him out of it just as easily. The tibbit had been bound to a life book for well over a century when Sora Esma found him and freed him- a debt that worked in the hobgoblin's favor.

Neep loves learning about the clans of the Znir. When he returns to the outskirts of Cazhaak Draal he brings news of his travels to Ux and the Ember-Fangs of Eyre from other gnoll cultures. (Alt text 🥚)

#Eberron #hobgoblin #gnoll #ocart
Neep and Ux cuddling and being playful. Easter egg: Neep has been researching gnoll cultures outside of Droaam, finding out what traditions they keep and what other shackles they cast off. Neep wonders if gnolls who escape Eberron to other worlds still feel the pull of their ancient fiendish masters.

Kaet casts curses, hexes, and all manner of enchantments through the Faranrede. Different drawn cards amplify different spells, and not all have kindly effects. (Alt text 🥚)

Art by @olieart.bsky.social

#Eberron #cartomancer #ocart #witch #hexblood #curse
Kaet imbues a card from Harrow deck with malign energies. Easter egg: The card depicted is the Snakebite, and although Kaet uses cursework sparingly, she excels at knowing which card is needed- though the Faranrede has suggestions of its own at times.

Kaet's eldritch blast is channeling her magic through her Harrow deck- the Faranrede, and throwing a card imbued with arcane energies at her opponents. Cards thrown in this manner regenerate in her magical deck. (Alt 🥚)

Art by @janjems1210.bsky.social

#Eberron #cartomancer #witch #ocart #gambit
Kaetlynelle's cards swirl around her, imbued with magical energies. Easter egg: Kaet's magic is heavily inspired by the X-Men character Gambit, including the magenta coloration that contrasts with her green and blue motif. It is magic she uses, but she did not create the Faranrede and she is only harnessing the power that already resides within the Thelanis artifact.

Bluebell was the only companion in the khybershard demiplane of Cat's Cradle that wasn't a fabrication of the prison. He helped keep Kaetlynell safe and sane during her time trapped in the fairytale.

Being made of slime and ooze, Kyrzin Jr often changes sizes from tiny goopy piglet to a rotund mucus hog, depending upon the material he absorbs or consumes. Mangelwurzel tends not to question how his skull also changes size.

#Eberron #ocart #daelkyr #witch #hobgoblin

Art by @kcasarts.bsky.social
A young Mangelwurzel proudly holds up her newly created slime pig. Alt text easter egg: Mangelwurzel has not been able to replicate the flawed familiar ritual that created Kyrzin Junior. She doesn't think that the pig has any particular affinity for the daelky, or at least he has never given any indication that he secretly works at the behest of an otherworldly entity of madness.

Bring your baubles, your shinies, cursed antiquities or forgotten heirlooms! Sora Esma will be there with trinkets for all, encouraging a swap of the cute, bizarre, and mismatched oddities! If there are enough trades, I'll turn them into an Eberron trinket supplement!
Trade trinkets with each other and Sora Esma at PAX Unplugged! Community Room 202AB Saturday November 21st at 6:30 pm This event will be a social gathering to trade treasures and keepsakes, mementos that were collected or crafted (not overtly expensive) with each other. To share stories (especially in-character stories of how the trinket was acquired), to relax and have fun with fellow con-goers and hag enthusiasts.

Mangelwurzel enjoys conversing with spirits. She constructs elaborate conversations with ghosts that repeat themselves, using their scripted loop responses as affirmations or sounding boards for her own amusement.

#Eberron #ocart #witch #necromancer #hobgoblin

Art by @paustark.bsky.social
Mangelwurzel in a patchwork ghostly cloak surrounded by gentle spirits. Easter egg: Mangelwurzel wonders what kind of undead she would become if she died a restless death. She thinks that ghost is a better step than zombie or skeleton, and that being a shadow would be fun but she wants to be remembered for who she was.

Sometimes Neep just has no thoughts. Sometimes he needs a reboot. (Alt text 🥚)

A drooling emote of Neep Esmaabet. Easter egg: Although his partner is a gnoll, Neep definitely does more drooling out of the two of them.

Mangelwurzel has trafficked with fiends- imps and quasits infest the Torlaac Moor. To her knowledge, she has never brokered with greater demons- she tries to keep negotiations contained to creatures that can fit in a birdcage.

Too ambitious to ever submit to being a familiar, the dust mephit known as the Grand Gallimaufry, Gilderoy Glabrous Glossographer Goliard Gritt was once Esma's partner. Now he is her oft-cursed rival. (Alt text 🥚)

#Eberron #mephit #trinket #elemental

Art by @tuftycurlew.bsky.social
The sleazy and ever-dirty dust mephit called Gritt. Easter Egg: Gritt contains a spark of the daelkyr Orlaask which grants him a bit more autonomy and a rebellious streak that isn't shared quite as deeply by his elemental kin. Gritt has no allegiance or knowledge of the Still Lord, but being composed of the dust and rubble of the daeklyr's roving gargoyle prison has the unintended side effect of making Gritt very difficult to destroy. Even when shattered, he reforms with his memories intact other than his origin and immediately falls back into his old swindling habits.

Although she is comfortable in strange and haunted places now, when Kaet first arrived in the Whitehorn Woods she was quite nervous, not knowing what to expect amongst the ancient trees...

#Eberron #witch #ych #spooky

Art by @woofnoble.bsky.social
Kaet nervously holds a lantern in a dark and spooky forest. Easter egg: Kaet is not the only Witch of the Whitehorn Woods, and she has made alliances with some of the past residents of the giant forest...

Often I will take #creatober or #gobtober prompts and do daily #Eberron trinkets that I will later combine into a supplement. If anyone has decent lists, please share them so I can decide on a good prompt list and get trinketing.

These are always fun. Kaetlynelle, Neep, Mangelwurzel or Sora Esma...

Any characters are good but especiall #Eberron #ocs. How did our characters meet?

#rpgprompt
"How did our OCs meet?" above a scene in a Quickstone Tavern. Several figures converse, gamble, make shady deals, look over maps, and drink together. There are goblins engaging in a secret package trade while a dwarf sits at a table with a half-elf. Near the fire a kalashtar talks with a medusa. A cloaked figure stands in the middle behind a human bartender. A group surrounds a table where a shifter and a warforged are arm-wrestling, cheered on by several humanoids.

Kaetlynelle started her arcane journey as a hedge witch, she knows many herbal remedies can identify most mundane and magical plant life near her home town and the Whitehorn Woods. (Alt text 🥚)

Kaet concentrating on stirring a cauldron filled with an unknown brew. Easter egg: Kaet knows a remedy for cockatrice pox and poultry pox and also particular plants to induce both.

Mangelwurzel once had an impressive display of pinned beetles. When she tried to pin her Zil alchemy beetle she lost her collection- and the back wall of her bedroom. She has been trying to rebuild her collection. (Alt 🥚)

#Eberron #hobgoblin #witch #akanbē

Art by @0fay.bsky.social
Mangelwurzel sticking out her tongue with an akanbē gesture/expression. Easter egg: The Torlaac Moor is filled with insects. Mangelwurzel had a mithril stag beetle, a tribex dung beetle, and a pearlescent Thelanian rhinoceros beetle in her collection before it exploded.

A chibi-chara of Kaet in a ghost disguise. Easter egg: Kaet has often wondered if she could contact the ghost of her father, but she has been unsuccessful... with no proof that he is even dead...
