Introducing one of our artists: Aitor "Inkeyjay" Sebastián
Esteemed Agents
We're delighted to introduce another artist, this time the creative force behind our two new character classes, the Wild Walker and the Alchemist... but more on those very soon. A warm welcome to Aitor, aka Inkeyjay! 🔥
Here's what they want to let you know:
"I'm a spanish artist from Segovia, obsessed with fairytales, myths and legends, and I've been working for years as a freelancer illustrator and concept artist in TTRPGs and videogames, my work usually being card shaped. Tarot has always been one of my biggest influences, Im particularly drawn to it's symbolism and archetypes, with so much potential in fantasy, so having the chance to dive in Sefirot's rich worldbuilding, heavily weaved around it, has been and amazing experience."

We are going on an adventure. To get us excited for the upcoming campaign, our writer James Patton has crafted a marvelous interactive story that will take us on a perilous mission.
This adventure will have eight chapters, coming in the form of a weekly poll. Whatever you choose to do might decide the city’s future, so choose carefully.
It all starts with a summon …

Not only did we get new artists for this campaign, we also managed to secure additional writers and designers to work on the Haven’s Heir campaign book and the Dioscorian Library. Perhaps the most prominent among them, and the first we want to introduce, is the amazing Chris S. Sims, a well-known veteran from Wizards of the Coast.
Chris S. Sims is a writer, designer, editor, and human... being. He has created material for the last four editions of D&D, two editions of Pathfinder, Starfinder 1e, indie RPGs and games, films, video games, and more. See his original games at chrisssims.itch.io, and find his credits and lots of other stuff at chrisssims.com. Or pay his social media presence a visit at https://bsky.app/profile/chrisssims.bsky.social.
We look forward to his contributions as editor and writer!
Introducing artists: Charlie 'Newt' Borovský + 🗺️NEW WORLD MAP!🗺️
Esteemed Agents,
While we thunder down the road towards the campaign, we would like to introduce another one of our amazing artists. They are not new to the Sefirot circus but have already contributed to our “Forever Hold Your Peace” zine. Without further delay, meet the amazing Newt!
Czech artist, roleplayer and Slavic folklore enthusiast Charlie 'Newt' Borovský has been freelancing in the world of TTRPGs for almost a decade now, growing to be an all-rounder in fantasy illustration.
Their past clients include Critical Role, MCDM, Avantris, Hit Point Press, Crow&Crown and now, of course, the Sefirot team.
It was a marvelous process to get together and talk about the world that Dioscoria is set in and then pair it with Newt to make this beautiful art piece. Here's some insight from Newt: For the border, we actually expanded on my designs that didn't end up being used for the crowdfunding page tables, combining all three of them here. There was some discussion about having the spheres which show the different realms at first, but we ended up including them. I also suggested having a sort of symbol for each of the secret islands, since we wanted to spotlight them despite their small size on the map itself. My main two inspirations were a mix of other maps from the 1500s and the sailing themes of Haven's Heir. The sea creatures were probably my favourite to draw, closely followed by the ladies in the border, but I always revel in detailed lineart, so the whole piece was a pleasure to do!
Don’t forget that we have a megaton of entertainment read for you via our socials and on Discord. Feel free to let us know your thoughts about the world map in the comments!
We are not quite done yet introducing our new artists! This week’s focus goes to a very special talent that is new to our lineup but will make a great deal of contributions to our campaign and supplement books!
Riotbones is a queer Filipino illustrator and comic artist with a passion for all things haunting, dark, and tender—anything that celebrates the euphoria and devastation of the human condition. Specializing in horror and fantasy, they’ve worked for magazines, video games, books, and TTRPGS, having collaborated with clients such as Dark Horse Comics and Dover Publications. Their debut graphic novel Strange Cases, a gothic horror-legal drama set in an alternate universe 19th-century colonial Philippines, will be published by Andrews McMeel on October 13 this year.
