An interesting gift art commissioned by a friend for my birthday this year. We've done a few NSFW pieces together between his bird character and Murana and he wanted to pay me back with something not just SFW, but a bit more meaningful in terms of his character's lore and history. I can't say I know everything about his character and the extensive lore surrounding this picture, but I will copy below what he wrote for his post for the piece and I must thank him again for such a wonderful gift.

One can bequeath our Lord’s Gift to another kin by thy choice. The subject must undergo the Liturgy Of Inheritance in order to embrace His Gift.
* The Liturgy Of Inheritance shall be held at any establishment as blessed by our Lord. * The Mark of our Lord shall be carved into the flesh of the subject with a blade blessed by our Lord. * The subject then must consume a piece of rotten flesh of the sacrificed from the Sacrament Of The Aptitude. * Thou must donate no more than a pint of thy blood into the subject’s open Mark. * Thou finally must recite the chant of the Liturgy Of Inheritance to complete the rite. * By my will, through our people, our Kingdom, and our Lord The Outcast. I hereby bequest you our Lord’s gift. May thou wield the power of darkness as it flows through your veins. May our Lord guide you to the preeminent power.
The Scriptures Of The Corvidae : 6
Offering the abilities of the Corvidae people's to another individual requires a strong bond that consists of trust, friendship, and loyalty. Roland knew that Murana has these qualities and so met the requirements to undertake the ritual of inheriting Roland's power. The process only amplified their bond, as he had complete confidence that she would wield them for noble causes.
