On a cold, quiet night, Karlach, the fierce tiefling barbarian from Baldur’s Gate, sits upon a large, smooth rock at the edge of a still lake. Steam rises in soft wisps from her powerful, crimson-red body, curling into the chilly air. The glow of her infernal engine heart radiates through her chest, a pulsing orange-gold that illuminates the scars across her ribs and the edges of her broken right horn—snapped jaggedly near the base, a brutal reminder of her past, while her left horn curves proudly upward. Her skin is marked with the history of countless battles: a long, pale scar cleaves from cheek to jaw, and her broad shoulders and arms bear a network of old wounds. Dark tribal tattoos wind around her biceps and shoulder blades, barely visible in the dim light. She wears a simple, medieval-fantasy leather bikini, wet from the lake—thick straps, brass buckles, and rough stitching, leaving her powerful frame largely bare. Her dark red hair is damp and messy, sticking to her forehead. Draped lazily from one hand is a soaked rainbow pride flag, its colours mute and dripping, the wet fabric clinging heavily to her thigh. A trail of puddled footprints and scattered droplets marks the path she took from the water’s edge to her rock. She gazes up at the moon with a small, wistful smile, her expression peaceful yet longing. On the left side of the scene, a second figure stands with their back turned, completely draped in an ornate, floor-length cloak patterned in the bold, vertical stripes of the bisexual pride flag—deep pink, rich purple, and royal blue, with silver-threaded trim. The hood is drawn, hiding all features, only a slim silhouette visible beneath. The cold silver moonlight washes over the lake and both figures, contrasting beautifully with the warm orange glow from Karlach’s heart, creating an atmosphere that is somber, intimate, and quietly romantic.
