July previews: Beyond the Dreamlands
🕑 Added 2022-06-28 17:06:33 +0000 UTCIn celebration of VoidRealm Mini's second anniversary, I invite you to venture Beyond the Dreamlands with this set of VRM originals in July.
"...If you traverse into the far east of the Dreamlands, you may stumble upon the ancient and ever-moving city of Thuule. The Scholars of Thuule staff the fabled library that chronicles the geography, denizens, and strange encounters amongst the Eastern Desert and beyond to the Bridgelands, a place that even master Dreamers only know by name. Still, you may attempt to embark from Thuule, cross the Eastern Desert into the Bridgelands, and reach the VoidRealms beyond.
Before departing Thuule, travelers wishing to receive a blessing will offer their innermost thoughts and desires to the Dreaming Worm in exchange for good fortune and luck along the way. Sometimes, the worm can pull up forgotten or repressed memories, or cause those who maintain contact with it to re-experience some of their worst nightmares or beautiful dreams - usually the former.
The Eastern Desert near Thuule is known for the luminous and mildly sedative quality of its sand. There is said to be an Augur wandering the sands, foretelling the future with traced lines that he offers up to the winds. He will provide travelers wisdom and a reading of the sands... for a fair trade.
Stalking the Desert is also the dreaded Dreamlands Manticore, a huge beast known to many as the Carnivorous Sphinx of the Eastern Desert. It may appear savage, but the scholars believe Manticore follows a ruthless logic and is extremely intelligent. If spotted, it is best to try and hide within the sand until it leaves the area.
Those who do reach the Bridgelands with its constant lightning storms and shifting gravity can feel the thinness of the cosmos here. Perhaps it is from some rupture or tear in the Dreamlands through which the horrid Ish'vak: Dragon of Eternal Nightmare first entered these realms, or perhaps Ish'vak was the vile result of one of the moon sorcerers. Reports regarding its origin and appearance are all contradictory. It makes his lair amongst the high ridges in the Bridgelands and guards ferociously the passage beyond into the VoidRealms. Its three heads and planar-shifting nature cause some of the Scholars to speculate that the beast is actually 3 separate entities or demi-gods from some vile, forgotten cosmos."

I hope you all will enjoy this set. As usual, we will get 5e stats for all of them so that you can implement them into your games with ease. I really wanted to make this month about original concepts and creations that you all haven't seen before, as well as give you guys an original, Elden Ring-like dragon that I hope you'll enjoy (150+mm tall with over 200mm wingspan!) I really enjoy sculpting these and imagining how they all fit into the same, overarching Mythos.
Please let me know what you think of the sculpts, lore etc. and a huge thank you to everyone who has helped me reach 2 years of producing minis from the VoidRealms!

Have you done a composite pic of all the models for this month so we can see them all in one shot? (Makes library management easier on this end instead of tabbing thorugh multiple photos)/
