Rafton
The role play allowed me to work out certain places within my universe, that otherwise would be overlooked. For instance, Rafter built his manor on the wrong side of the river. Eventually the neighbouring lord forced Rafter to move the town to the other side of the river.<...

Rafter Castle
During the role play with my friend quite a few things changed. Not only two generations have passed, but also the surrounding evolved. Certain places ceased to exist, while others developed into more prominent settlements. This definitely was the case with Rafter's...

Fire Temple Interior
There are no windows inside the Fire Temple. The brazier containing the Dragon Flame is the centre of the structure and only source of light. Around the inner sanctum are figures dedicated to the Paragons, who serve as a reminder of what the Pride once was an...

Lion Fire Temple
Lions used to worship dragons in their ancient past. After the War of the Dragon's Fall their religion became more of a philosophy centred around the Eternal Flame. Those temples became places to venerate ancestors, who are a moral guide for the Pride.

Taur Hunter
Taurs are hunter-gatherers/herders. They have little interest in agriculture, meaning they hon their survival skills like tracking. This makes them a very cunning adversary on top of their advantage in size and strength.

Female Taur
In Taur society, females are expected to fend for themselves and fight as much as males are. In truth, they select their mates based on whether or not they are a worthy opponent.

Male Taur
Since it's March, Elath convinced me to draw some Taur's. They're port of the Sylvan Folk, or at least used to be. Their main settlement is Taurus, where majority of their population lives. Although it is quite common for them to be mercenaries, or take up life of gladi...

Map of Wyndland
This is the map of our Role Play setting. It is a small domain within Darkmane Outland, part of the Pridal Throne. Wyndland used to be a human Jarldom, however after Leonine conquest it became settled by lions. Vidyk, Urlf Crag, Yandvik and Storuman are all that's...

Lothar's Inn
One of our characters has built up an inn on the road between Rafter's Manor and Whisperwind. It's exactly one day away from either, making it a perfect coaching station. Since it's a new place, we haven't gotten to properly naming it.

Russet Manor
Another manor house, surrounded by a hamlet. This is another setting of the rp, where grandmother to our characters resides. She's a mean old lioness, however she still has a bite. It is said, that when the manor was raided by savages, she defended herself in her nig...

Bridgehead
Another location from our rp. It has a mid dark age theme, thus the towns are rather small and they're really just developing. The houses are covered with thatch, mostly ground level and the bridge is just being built.

Rafter's Manor
Part of my Universe has been developed alongside the comic, part during writing some short stories, but vast majority came to life through role-playing with my friend. This is a quick sketch of a location within the setting of one such rp.

Aya Snowwynn
During the night, Aya seems to dabble in less reputable activities. Adventuring seems to be not the only thing on her mind. Whatever she cannot buy, Aya gets through other means if necessary. Snow leopards have claws, just like lions do.

Lady Aya Snowwynn
During the day, Aya tries to blend with the nobility of Lion's Landing. Although she's a snow leopardess, she is able to maintain respectable social standing in otherwise racist lion society. Some things money really can buy- like respect of your peers.

The Loft
Here Aya keeps her adventuring equipment as well as certain things she wishes to keep away from her houskeeper. It also contains a spare bed for more... unorthodox guests.

Master Bedroom
This is Aya's chamber, once occupied by her parents. It is a place where she can rest and relax. But it also has few secrets. From here she can access the secret compartment, as well as a passageway leading directly to the loft.

Guest Room
As any mansion, this one has a bedchamber set aside for any guests that might happen upon the Snowwynns. Several characters will be staying here during their adventures.

The Study
Aya's Study is an important place from the story perspective. Certain parts of the plot line will be either discussed or researched here. It contains a hidden, secret library with more prised books from the Snowwynn collection. It has also an access to the loft.

The Dining Room
The Dining Room connects the Mansion to the Service Building. It is also where the main cast will enjoy their few home meals before major adventures. The nook in the far back is Aya's favourite spot, ideal for late night reading.
