NYSSKA STONEGATE
Painting by Milica Čeliković
MEET NYSSKA.
Refugee. Huntress. Enforcer. Detective.
For the last five hundred years an isolated island nation has been home to the reclusive SETHYDS. Tall. Graceful. Beautiful. Pansexual. Possessed of an unholy, terrifying strength.
The humans loathe them. Fear them. Call them "demons."
But now a natural disaster has forced the sethyds from their home, compelling them to seek refuge on Imperial land.
Though faced with the humans' unending hatred and prejudice, Nysska Stonegate is given no choice but to become the first sethyd member of the Imperial Criminal Investigation Ministry. A reluctant ambassador for her people -- and an even more reluctant detective.

Your Nysska is up to you!
Nysska's important features: horns, yellow eyes, purple skin, and attitude! You are free to interpret her otherwise in any way you see fit -- though high fantasy approaches will probably be favored.
Any and all adults are welcome to enter! Simply find DAN JOLLEY's table in Artists' Alley during DragonCon 2024 and get your photo taken. You have until 6:00pm on Sunday to enter. The winner will be announced and prizes given out Monday afternoon! (Specific time TBA here, depending on panel schedules.)
(Tables for Artists' Alley are not assigned until August, but check back here for a map and directions to Dan's table as soon as the information becomes available!)
