ID: A digital drawing of Deret Beshelar and Cala Athmaza from The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison. Deret Beshelar is on the left, dressed in faded blue robes and a red baldric with silver embroidery on it. He is shorter, with pointed ears, and pale skin and hair. His arms are crossed and he is looking at Cala with a disapproving expression. Cala is on the right; he is wearing a muted blue outfit with a maroon sash, and a red baldric embroidered with silver. He is taller, with pointed ears, glasses, and pale skin and hair. He is looking at Beshelar with a calm expression, one hand resting on Beshelar's shoulder. The other hand is at Cala's side. end ID.
