INTRODUCING ALL MY ✦ ROOKS ✦ (SO FAR) yes, there might be a theme with the silver hair and shades of violet eyes. and no, I can't stop doing that. #DracarysBitch
❧ VAEGARA MERCAR | a human tevinter mage, highkey cursed life, fell for Lucanis, but saved Minrathous, so she was dumped, accidentally fell for Emmrich, but then everyone died and she got trapped in the fade forever with Solas, lol.
❧ DAENA MERCAR | the canon babygirl, human tevinter mage, lowkey broke up with the shadow dragons cause she prioritized her husband (Lucanis), did all the quests, saved the world, became besties with her personal heroes (thee Inquisitor and ARCHON Dorian Pavus) and is on vacation now with her family, please leave a message at the tone.
❧ MELIAN DE RIVA | rogue elf antivan crow, couldn't connect with her, so I gave up the playthrough before sea of blood, lol.
❧ MELIAN DE RIVA | version 2.0, mage elf crow, Viago's headache, Teia's favourite, her name means "dear gift" and she sure is one, lmao. intended to romance Emmrich, got to his recruitment quest, but again, couldn't connect so I gave up. she was lk enemies with Neve, cause like why you mad at me girl? we both prioritized our own home towns, and I split the team in half, how is this my fault?
❧ ZAARA INGELLVAR | human mourn watch mage, sorry, but mages are the most fun in this game. and yes, I do think I'm hilarious for naming her Zaara, listen, Veer-Zaara is one of my favourite movies of all time, but also, it's mostly just funny. tired babygirl, met her soulmate (Emmrich) and did her best to speed run this saving the world shit and go home. a lot of people did die, but she got a skeleson and a husband, so seems like a you problem buddy, byeee.

CINEMATIC PARALLELS: THE EVANURIS & THE VALAR ↳ FEN'HAREL & MAIRON
The legend says that before the fall of Arlathan, the gods we know and revere fought an endless war with others of their kind. There is not a hahren among us who remembers these others: Only in dreams do we hear whispered the names of Geldauran and Daern'thal and Anaris, for they are the Forgotten Ones, the gods of terror and malice, spite and pestilence. In ancient times, only Fen'Harel could walk without fear among both our gods and the Forgotten Ones, for although he is kin to the gods of the People, the Forgotten Ones knew of his cunning ways, and saw him as one of their own. — CODEX ENTRY: FEN'HAREL: THE DREAD WOLF
With the Valar came other spirits whose being also began before the World, of the same order as the Valar but of less degree. These are the Maiar, the people of the Valar, and their servants and helpers. Their number is not known to the Elves, and few have names in any of the tongues of the Children of Ilúvatar; for though it is otherwise in Aman, in Middle-earth the Maiar have seldom appeared in form visible to Elves and Men. — VALAQUENTA: OF THE MAIAR
I pulled you from the Fade you loved and sent you into war. I used your wisdom as a weapon… and it broke you. [The things that I have done…] Are not for you alone to bear, my friend. The many wrongs we did, we did together. I release you from my service. — MYTHAL, THE DREAD WOLF RISES
And there is Sauron. In the Silmarillion and Tales of the First Age Sauron was a being of Valinor perverted to the service of the Enemy and becoming his chief captain and servant. He repents in fear when the First Enemy is utterly defeated, but in the end does not do as was commanded, return to the judgement of the gods. He lingers in Middle-earth. Very slowly, beginning with fair motives: the reorganising and rehabilitation of the ruin of Middle-earth, ‘neglected by the gods’, he becomes a re-incarnation of Evil, and a thing lusting for Complete Power – and so consumed ever more fiercely with hate (especially of gods and Elves). — FROM A LETTER BY J.R.R. TOLKIEN TO MILTON WALDMAN, 1951
Among those of his servants that have names the greatest was that spirit whom the Eldar called Sauron, or Gorthaur the Cruel. In his beginning he was of the Maiar of Aulë, and he remained mighty in the lore of that people. In all the deeds of Melkor the Morgoth upon Arda, in his vast works and in the deceits of his cunning, Sauron had a part, and was only less evil than his master in that for long he served another and not himself. But in after years he rose like a shadow of Morgoth and a ghost of his malice, and walked behind him on the same ruinous path down into the Void. — VALAQUENTA: OF THE ENEMIES
And that is how Fen'Harel tricked them. Our gods saw him as a brother, and they trusted him when he said that they must keep to the heavens while he arranged a truce. And the Forgotten Ones trusted him also when he said he would arrange for the defeat of our gods, if only the Forgotten Ones would return to the abyss for a time. They trusted Fen'Harel, and they were all of them betrayed. And Fen'Harel sealed them away so they could never again walk among the People. — CODEX ENTRY: FEN'HAREL: THE DREAD WOLF
It began with the forging of the Great Rings. Three were given to the Elves, immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings. Seven to the Dwarf-Lords, great miners and craftsmen of the mountain halls. And nine, nine rings were gifted to the race of Men, who above all else desire power. For within these rings was bound the strength and the will to govern each race. But they were all of them deceived, for another ring was made. Deep in the land of Mordor, in the Fires of Mount Doom, the Dark Lord Sauron forged a master ring, and into this ring he poured his cruelty, his malice and his will to dominate all life. One ring to rule them all. — GALADRIEL, THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING, 2001

CINEMATIC PARALLELS: THE EVANURIS & THE VALAR ↳ ELGAR'NAN & MANWË
I am Elgar'nan: First of the Firstborn. Last of the Evanuris. Come to reign over you with fine and gentle hand. Citizens of Minrathous, give yourself to me, together we shall unleash magic so glorious, so limitless, that all the world will be transformed. — ELGAR'NAN, THE WRATH OF AGES CINEMATIC PROLOGUE
The mightiest of those Ainur who came into the World was in his beginning Melkor; but Manwë is dearest to Ilúvatar and understands most clearly his purposes. He was appointed to be, in the fullness of time, the first of all Kings: lord of the realm of Arda and ruler of all that dwell therein. In Arda his delight is in the winds and the clouds, and in all the regions of the air, from the heights to the depths, from the utmost borders of the Veil of Arda to the breezes that blow in the grass. Súlimo he is surnamed, Lord of the Breath of Arda. All swift birds, strong of wing, he loves, and they come and go at his bidding. — VALAQUENTA: OF THE VALAR
Long ago, when time itself was young, the only things in existence were the sun and the land. The sun, curious about the land, bowed his head close to her body, and Elgar'nan was born in the place where they touched. The sun and the land loved Elgar'nan greatly, for he was beautiful and clever. As a gift to Elgar'nan, the land brought forth great birds and beasts of sky and forest, and all manner of wonderful green things. Elgar'nan loved his mother's gifts and praised them highly and walked amongst them often. — CODEX ENTRY: ELGAR'NAN: GOD OF VENGEANCE
Then Manwë said to the Valar: ‘This is the counsel of Ilúvatar in my heart: that we should take up again the mastery of Arda, at whatsoever cost, and deliver the Quendi from the shadow of Melkor.’ Then Tulkas was glad; but Aulë was grieved, foreboding the hurts of the world that must come of that strife. But the Valar made ready and came forth from Aman in strength of war, resolving to assault the fortresses of Melkor and make an end. — OF THE COMING OF THE ELVES AND THE CAPTIVITY OF MELKOR
