#TavQotD What existing literature describes your Tav/Durge and their relationship?
♥️B: How does your Tav/Durge feel about literature in setting?
Ria *loves* reading. She's even less of a romance novel reader than I am and has a fondness for tragedies and really anything she can get her teeth into.

#tavqotd A question for the magic using tavs/durges, do they have any prejudices against other types of magic users?
When Ria meets a wizard who DOESN'T act like a self-important, elitist, condescending windbag, she will revise her opinion of them as a group.

#TavQOTD What did your Tav/Durge think of Cazador?
In the moment, Ria did not have space to realize what a sad picture he made standing around waiting for Astarion to wander in to get him. She saw the danger he presented and a horrible mirror of what Astarion could become.

#tavqotd Route to the Underdark
Ria went through the Selûnite temple— first thing she found, but also the most controlled entry point. She was not a fan of going back, and having sturdy walls in the way helped with the first few minutes

#TavQOTD What is your (main) Tav/Durge’s gender? How do they feel about it? Why did you choose this gender?
Ria's a woman, but in the context of a Seldarine drow living on the surface. She is aware that the way people see her does not entirely match up with her internal experience.

#TavQOTD When did your Tav/Durge and their LI first have sex? Who initiated? How was it?
It was the night after Ria dealt with Flind and Abdirak— a whole mess of mutual manipulation and budding fondness. For her, at least, it was *very* good. And it was better than Astarion expected.

How did your Tav/Durge and their LI meet?
How did it go?
Was there an instant attraction?
Ria, internally: "Ugh, gods, the last thing I want added to my troubles is a noble"
She walked away from him, got jumped, talked her way out, and decided to see how useful he'd be

purely rhetorical question: when people talk about murdering araj for her crimes, why is the only crime 'being shitty to astarion' and not 'cutting people up in her basement'

#Tavqotd for the religious: How much of their life is dedicated to their god?
Irani, pre-capture, lived and worked full time at a temple to Selûne. Afterward, she sets up a small church and clinic in Reithwin near the little farm she, Shadowheart, and Shadowheart's parents live at.

#TavQotD how did your Tav/Durge respond to meeting Boo? (And Minsc, I guess :P )
Ria made a theatrical bow upon introduction to Boo. She'd heard stories of the Ranger and his hamster. They lived up to the legend... and then she heard Minsc talk, realized he doesn't like liars, and got. Concerned.

sometimes i remember that in 5th grade, i lost a homework worksheet and needed to ask for another one (before the due date!) and the teacher did not want to give me one. which is already stupid. just give me the worksheet.
But I talked him into it by telling him my family was cursed. And it worked.

#tavqotd tell us something about your tav/durge, but make it Modern AU!
💜 While I need to do more research, the pedigree of Ria's education would probably carry her from Cambridge to the Royal College of Music.
💜 Kind of hates London, actually. Sorry, Astarion.

Ria and Astarion are in the Underdark helping the spawn. Gale is a professor in Waterdeep. Wyll and Karlach get together in Avernus before returning to the material plane. Lae'zel is going to defeat Vlaakith.
