Before this thread gets archived heres some behind the scene notes
The facility’s name is heavily inspired by Xinjiang internment camps
As for the Glairborn themselves, I chose reptilians due to their cold blooded nature, making the thermal stones more valuable (and useful) to them while inside a mountain.
The tone is inspired by Dishonored, and its also why the Glairborn use wheellock pistols.
The symbols lighting up when using spells is also inspired by the Outsider’s mark.
also a justification for crotch tattoos
As for the overseers (their names are taken from Dishonored as well, being supervisors that ensure the correct ‘religion’ is being followed)
Tawan’s outfit is heavily inspired by this fanart of the main protagonist of darkest dungeon. I chose it because he is the most distant of all the overseers, planned to be encountered near the end of the thread.
Simon’s hat is inspired by ww2 japanese hat with earflaps
Lily’s helmet is inspired by a drawing of Athena I saw a while ago. Forgot where I found it, but I figured the more militaristic helmets suits her.
Lily’s hunters were inspired by 95th regiment of foot, and that is why they carry rifled carbines.
