The WOVEN A to Z Challenge: H is for Hilvar!

I dedicate this A to Z Challenge to Tina Downey, one of the A to Z Challenge founders and one of the brightest bloggers who sadly left us last year. Harder still, she was in a secret support group that I'm part of. The best way I can honor Tina, who was excited about and never had the opportunity to read my debut, I've teamed up with Father Dragon to present short bios and character portraits from Woven. I'll write the bios and all art is created by Al Diaz. I hope you enjoy this visual tribute to our friend, Tina.

H is for Hilvar

Centuries ago, Hilvar was the wealthiest king in the world. He was stern and possessive; he is now dead, but not gone. His mysterious disappearance lead to horror upon his return as a ghost, which lead to the abandonment of his kingdom. His spirit still roams the Valley of Westmine, searching for people to possess so he can fulfill his unfinished business.

  2. Yikes! Thanks, i'll avoid him, unless he would let me finish that business without the possession part.

  3. He sure does look rich. Can't write a story without a ghost in it, right? ;)

  4. I get the feeling he would not be a good person to run in to, right?

  5. He doesn't seem like a bad guy but still wouldn't want to possessed by him. Nice artwork Al!
