(hi, back with another marrow question!) what was her relationship with orin like?

Thank you, your question inspired us to make this art 💋

In short: love-hate, toxic, obsession. Their connection is about the physical, the instinctive, the wild. It’s like the ecstasy of madness between two lovers who are so much better at being enemies than as allies or family. But they were actually pretty good together, finding something in each other that you just can’t get from any other mortal — equality in their intensity and power. Orin idolized Marrow, seeing in her a way to fill her inner void, for a sense of need and importance. Like a treasured tool, a favored weapon, a blood kin. And as for Marrow, Orin was like a drug she kept coming back to, a mirror reflecting the worst parts of herself. Only with her she could completely lose control of herself and enjoy the darkest desires. But her mind was always with Gortash, the man she gave her best parts to. So Orin began to see in Marrow echoes of Sarevok and Bhaal — unattainable idols who never put her in the first place. And she will never be in the first place for Marrow… And she knew what to do with that :)

So yeah… let’s go bloody lesbians!!
