Darkspawn

The darkspawn are a race of humanoid tainted creatures that dwell in the underground of Thedas. They are believed to be soulless. When led by an archdemon, they swarm to the surface world causing a Blight. The darkspawn are perhaps the single greatest threat to all of Thedas; they are bloodthirsty, exceptionally numerous and willing to indiscriminately kill or corrupt all in their path. The Grey Wardens are sworn to defend against darkspawn, in all their forms.

Gherlen Pass

Gherlen's Pass in the Frostback Mountains leads to the gates of the dwarven city of Orzammar. Gherlen's Pass is the only safe route to cross the Frostback Mountains for year-round travel, unlike the more treacherous Sulcher's Pass.

As Orzammar doesn't allow most traders inside the dwarven city, a lawless trading hub the size of a small town has sprung up outside the gates of Orzammar.

Gherlen Pass

Chapter 35, in which the entire frickin' Inquisition heads to Halamshiral by way of Orzammar. Everything is fine.

To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.

The Screaming-Man-Eater

Hunting a va'unt (colloquially known as a screaming-man-eater) is a holy rite of passage for young Avvar hunters.

A Gift from Duke Cyril

So Duke Cyril de Montfort gave my Inquisitor a picture book of Orlesian watercolors as a not-so-subtle dig at both her inability to read and her "wild" Dalish heritage. I am imagining a book of vapid Thomas Kinkade, Painter of Light, style pictures.

Orlesians

J'aime mieux les Orlésiens quand ils séjournent à Orlais.

(I like Orlesians better when they stay in Orlais.)

Parties and Favors

Chapter 34, in which the Inquisition shows that it knows how to have a good time and Berta does the Inquisitor a favor.

Gratitude is merely the secret hope of further favors.

WIP Whenever

(or WIP...I work nights I have no idea what day it is!)

Thank you to @paraparadigm and @fandomn00blr for the push. So a little excerpt from Chapter #? - The Tale of Thomas Rainer from Rara Avis, coming soon to an AO3 page near you! (I mean, not really, but maybe the self-imposed pressure will help me write?!)

Quantity rather than quality was his general rule. He wasn’t particular about his conquests. All women had their charms if one bothered to look. Pretty was nice, and soft and bouncy was his favorite, but the plain girls were usually the most accommodating in bed and most appreciated his attentions. He avoided the ravishingly beautiful or the truly unfortunately homely both, but for different reasons; the great beauties demanded his subservience and were usually indolent, and the ugly girls were grovelingly grateful and had a tendency to fall in love almost immediately. But it was true that all warm and willing flesh felt the same in the dark. A fuck was a fuck, just as a flagon of backwater Ferelden swill would get him drunk as quickly as a fine goblet of Orlesian gold mead.
