The first was the hardest. The dearest, for one. Ardann, of the silver skin and polished, sweeping horns. Tall and lithe and beautiful. Kind and foolishly trusting. He made it all the way to the Winter Palace, but when he confronted Florianne, the court turned against him. Oxman, they called him. Spy, slanderer, assassin. Gaspard himself killed Ardann, and then fled in disgrace bare minutes later when Florianne slew Celene.
By the time the spell was ready, demons were crawling across the land from the Wastes to Denerim.
And then, when the Herald emerged from the Breach once more, it wasn’t Ardann.
After that, he tried not to get attached. But it wasn’t in his nature.
Several died very quickly–those were the easier ones. Easier to let go, easier to rewind. Two of the Circle mages couldn’t be persuaded to defend themselves at all, so terrified of retribution they were.
Beneta Cadash was so promising. A seasoned fighter, a survivor, ready and willing to do what it took. Scarred and crude and possibly even cruel, but she knew how to play the long game.
Fell at Haven.
Lieta Lavellan, gentle and delicate but surprisingly stern. Her little shrines burned away, her exquisitely impermanent offerings to her gods, wrought of twig and leaf, gone and then truly obliterated.
Stopped the Wardens, and then died of some foul desert disease.
Belerian Trevelyan was exquisite. Also, vain. But oh, the people loved him. He filled them with hope. With faith. They counted it an honor to die for him.
Fell in the Fade at Adamant. Nightmare swarmed through the rift, killing Inquisition soldiers and Wardens alike.
Dorian ground the heels of his hands into his eyes, and then blinked until he could focus on the stone wall in front of him. He rolled his shoulders and cracked his neck. One more time. Always one more time. There was no choice–they’d tried it every other way. He couldn’t go any further back than the Breach, and they always fell without a Herald. Back he would go, one more time.
the presence of solas as a companion is so funny to me like you have this guy who is a fucking ancient god but he just. has to put up with sera’s shit and blackwall asking if he ever fucked a spirit and dorian and vivienne dunking on his fashion choices for the entire game
Dark Horse have announced a new DA comic, set after the events of Inquisition. It will have 3 issues and the first will release on January 15, 2020.
Synopsis: “Dragon Age: Blue Wraith starts off with the fanatical Qunari seeking to topple the Tevinter mageocracy. Caught in the middle, one powerful young mage’s desperate search for her father brings her face-to-face with a notorious mage hunter—Fenris, the Blue Wraith.”
Maker. The sexiest GRUMP Nathaniel Howe and THAT SMIRK.
*Swoon* @cocotingo strikes again! For all that is good and right in this world, commission this artist!
I imagine he’s watching Hale cause trouble and can’t resist. I have two new chapters of Bond of the Grey up btw. CH. 10 Absolution: AO3 and FF.net and CH. 11 The Ritual: AO3 and FF.net
“Strictly oppressed controlled Circles are the only way to keep people safe from mages, and keep mages safe from the people!”
Rivain:
“If there were no Templars then we wouldn’t be able to stop abominations!”
The Avvar:
“But if we let mages have power they’re definitely going to abuse it just like in Tevinter, the only example of a culture in which mages have rights and are in positions of power!”
