 Post subject: Neverwinter Nights: Erione Silverspring, Elven Sorceress

Erione Silverspring was born in a small Elven settlement on the edge of Neverwinter Wood, where she grew up learning the ways of Elvenkind. Toward late adolescence her ability to summon magic in the form of spells--without any formal training or knowledge--began to manifest itself, showing her potential to be a sorceress. As there were no other sorcerers living in the settlement at the time, her parents sent her to the city of Neverwinter and the Neverwinter Academy to continue to develop those skills. There she also worked on her martial skills, become a master with the rapier; later in her adventures she would wield two such weapons, including the rapier known as Namarra, or "Neversleep".

Shortly before she was to graduate the Wailing Death plague broke out and the city was sealed. Erione was the only student to survive an attack on the Academy that left not only her fellow students but the instructors dead as well. Charged by Lady Aribeth with retrieving four magical creatures that were believed would bring a cure for the Wailing Death, Erione set out on her newfound life of adventure.

Her experience and power grew quickly and in no time the young sorceress was a power to be matched. In the city of Luskan she single-handedly killed High Captain Kurth while taking almost no injury to herself, her greatest triumph to date. Currently she can be found in the area of Beorunna's Well, accompanied by her henchman and friend, Daelan Redtiger, a half-orc barbarian of the Uthgardt tribe.



Parts and Notes:


Head: SW Mon Mothma w/Green Stuff hair
Body: SW Dark Woman
Cloak: SW Count Dooku
Rapier: POTC
Lightning: SW Palpatine


I bought Neverwinter Nights last Christmas, and was initially disappointed. As a Baldur's Gate 2 fan I was hoping to be able to form a party, have romances, and more interactions. After playing the game through once I shoved it aside and forgot about it until a couple of months ago, when I got an itch to play it.

Suddenly I loved it. Erione was the second character I created (the other was a Dwarf I played in "Shadows of Unrentide") and by far my most loved. I'd always avoided playing magic-using characters because they tend to get killed pretty easily, but Erione has proven to be one tough cookie. In fact game-wise, lately, she's been fighting a lot on her own...

This figure came together more or less accidentally. I had a Mon Mothma I was considering modifying to match the game portrait I had of Erione (pronounced Air-eye-uh-nee) when I decided to see how it looked on a Dark Woman body. Well, the head fit...and since I had some leftover Green Stuff at the moment, I thought, why not add hair? One thing led to another and I ended up with her like this. The hands I painted to match the face, and I painted the loincloth and center of her torso a forest green to give her a more Elven look (I considered doing ears but...some other time, maybe. Suffice to say she's Elven. Because they're cool.)

The lightning came from Palpatine and was glued to the left hand, since Chain Lightning is her favorite spell (she used it to kill Kurth in Luskan); normally in-game she wields a Rapier +2 and the rapier called Namarra, but the left hand of Dark Woman isn't really shaped to hold weapons well, so I went with the lightning. The cloak is a dead-on match color-wise for the Nymph Cloak she wears.

Wow, I was wondering what you'd do with that Dark Woman....looks great! I love the new trend of fantasy/RPG based customs.

Thanks! That's actually a Dark Woman body I had--this is what I did with the one you sent, along with the Mara Jade head (not a custom yet, just an idea--had to dremel the inside of Mara's head quite a bit but when done, well, you can see):

Probably make her into a Ranger/Rogue, though nothing definite yet except those are the parts I'll use for the base.

Thanks! :-) I've got another head set up with the actual ears (it's a POTC Liz Swan) but haven't decided who it'll be. I thought painting eyes was hard, molding ears isn't much easier...at least here I can say, "Uh, they're under her hair." :lol:

Thanks. With a bin full of Star Wars and POTC figures I have a lot to pick from; they lend themselves really well to the fantasy look. And thanks to Cap providing me with several medieval weapons and swords I can put some of my ideas out there.

At the moment I'm re-doing my Panamon Creel from "Sword of Shannara" as well (aiming more for the look from the book, than from my weak memory) but he'll be a while before he's done, but will probably be the next one I get to post.

Very nice paintwork, on both of them really, but especially on Erione. Nice capework as well. Makes me wonder how cool the LOTR line coulda been had it been 18th scale.

Great stuff here Doc! I love the figure and the story behind her, The second figure looks great as well. My fantasy custom line is starting to grow, and I love stuff like this that I can get ideas from.

Thanks--but I should give credit to you as well for helping to nudge me in this direction with your works. :-)

I am so in the zone for all of these.

Excellent work. Stealworthy. :shifty:

But you know I'd never do that. ;-)

Thanks. :-) There really wasn't much more to it than, "Say, this head fits really well, and I've got this leftover Green Stuff" and it went from there. I love when a custom comes together. :-D
