Dawn of Silence: Character artwork
Main characters
The artwork for Jijiro and Narynel will follow soon. Due to some disappointing experiences with artists using GenAI, I’ve had to recommission another artist. Portraits of Jijiro and Narynel will follow soon!
Arkan
Arkan is the main character of Dawn of Silence, an ashfolk thief who stumbles into a political conspiracy as he tries to find his sister.

Side characters
Nazzar Baruk
Nazzar is the main villain of Dawn of Silence, a cruel and ambitious schemer – and older brother of the main character Arkan.
Zakina Baruk
Zakina is Nazzar’s twin sister. Getting her out of his older brother’s grasp is the very reason for Arkan, the main character, to stumble into the adventure.
Cymara
Nazzar’s trusted companion, Cymara is a fierce woman with a strong will – and the power to enforce it. But her strength is a much in her brute force as in her words.
Eldariz Raeshan
A commander of the Shadow Sanctuary, Eldariz is a powerful and ruthless mage. He was directly involved in the magical experiments that scarred Jijiro, one of the three main characters – and he’s not given up finding her again.
Khirey Soulburner
Khirey is a hellbrood, a humanoid shaped by infernal essences. She works as a freelance mercenary for Eldariz.
Bel-Bhadra
Bel-Bhadra is the vampire queen in the world of Ashandri. She is one of the Seven Oblivions, the undead rulers of the Ocean of Ash – the scorched land that was once Arkan’s homeland.
Valaris Khoon
Valaris is a General of Bridgepoint’s city guard, a seasoned warrior and nobleman. He is a member of one of the most powerful families of the city state.
Morius Stormslinger
Morius is the leader of the Voidguard garrison in Bridgepoint. The half-elf has fought in the wars against the ravager elves, the invaders from Va’Laeth. He is well-connected in the city and beyond.
Tandrel
Tandrel is Morius’ second-in-command. The human warrior is as brave as he is loyal – and occasionally very insightful…
Melra
Melra is a ragtag – a species spawned from generations of mortals mingling with supernatural creatures. She was Arkan’s first real friendship after the end of the old world, but they lost each other just before the invasion from Va’Laeth.
The Envoy
A mysterious creature native to the dimension of Braythe, the Envoy has his very own interests in the events unfolding in Bridgepoint…
