Hahaha I made an OC with military training and his military training is what's gonna get him through this and I do not have. Military training. And now I have to go like...read Roman military manuals. I guess. I don't even know what that is. They must exist though.

"But he's so old."

This "old man" would put you in a wheelchair, in either a good way or a bad way.

I really do love the narrative’s insistence on Lucanis "least charming Crow” Dellamorte. Because the way he backs you to the wall is so goddamn hot, not even he could handle it. Took it straight out of one of his romance novels, then immediately thought "Oh no, too effective, can't do it." And then he never does it again. It's so funny. Lucanis used (Action: Flirt) exactly once and scared himself with his own sexy. Only genuine human vulnerability from here on out. Our beloved Awkward Pantry Man simply cannot endure his own attractiveness.

Chapter 1: Visits From Old Friends

Rook’s shoulders were heavy with the weight of Thedas pulling them down. It had been a few weeks since interrupting Solas’ ritual and everything was in chaos. While Bellara was well versed in Elvhen technology and magic, she only had a surface level understanding of the Fade. They needed an expert, and Rook knew just the person. 

Walking into the main atrium of the Lighthouse, Rook spotted her pseudo family of Myrna and Vorgoth. The pair, particularly Vorgoth, had virtually raised her after she was abandoned in the Necropolis. 

Rook beams, rushing down the stairs to great the two who stood deep in conversation with Bellara. 

“My dear,” Myrna says as she reaches for Rook, pulling her into a close embrace. “You look well considering the circumstances.”

Rook squeezes Myrna before stepping back to regard Vorgoth. “I feel worse than I look trust me. But I’m hopeful you bring good news?” 

A cold brush rushes across Rook’s forehead as Vorgoth places a loving kiss on her forehead. “HE WAITS IN THE CRYPTS,” Vorgoth says. 

“Oh who?” inquires Bellara.

Myrna turns, addressing her, “Professor Emmrich Volkarin. Our resident fade expert at the Necropolis.”

Bellara freezes. “THE Emmrich Volkarin.” She turns stupefied at Rook. “I didn’t know you knew THE Emmrich Volkarin.”

“I don’t,” Rook says. “Well I’ve attended some of his lectures and seen him in passing. But I’ve never been formally introduced.”

“NOW IS THE TIME,” Vorgoth says. 

“Indeed,” replies Myrna. “I’m sorry for such a short visit my dear, but we must get back to the Necropolis. Come collect the Professor when you can.”

Rook looks on fondly as Myrna and Vorgoth make their exit. As leaders of the Necropolis, the duo hold many important duties and can never leave for too long. It makes the spirits restless. Rook can hear Bellara rambling about about the Professor’s newest book and all his incredible knowledge, but she barely pays attention

Her head swims with worries. Not only will she be returning to the Necropolis for the first time in a few years, she will be inviting the man she hasn’t been able to stop thinking about to join her team—Professor Emmrich Volkarin. 

“What have you gotten yourself into this time,” Rook mutters to herself.

We all agree, right?

AI to write your novel is wrong

A bargain with a demon to write your novel is okay

You mean... My choices mattered?!?!

Nice try Bioware, but I know the state of Southern Thedas better than you do.

First off, it matters if the Hero of Ferelden is alive or not. When the First Warden recalled all wardens, our hero knew that was a bad call and refused, finally splitting off from Weisshaupt after years of mismanagement and taking scores of wardens with them. Their presence and leadership makes all the difference, rallying southern Thedas once more against the blight. If you have only an Orlesian Warden Commander in Amaranthine they’re less inspiring, but as long as you’ve done Awakening they are a boon nonetheless. There is someone to lead the fight against the darkspawn while other focus on the Venatori.

If you 100% completed Awakenings and also Soldier’s Peak, the Ferelden wardens have never been so prepared. They’re organized, they’re outfitted and they’ve been ready for this for years. Also, if you allied with the Architect then you have scores of strange research to give you an edge.

If Merrill completed her Eluvian then she moves south once again and joins the effort. She’s managed to cleanse the blight before and she’s ready to try it again. And her knowledge of the crossroads gives the south an edge on their movement and supply lines. If Hawke’s sibling is a Warden they accompanied her.

If the Inquisitor let Briala have power in any way, the Dales become the leaders in the war against the Venatori, forming a formidable alliance with Ferelden, Orzammar and the Marches, the likes of which have never been seen. And if you completed Jaws of Hakkon then their alliances with the Avvar and Chasind are stronger than ever.

Of course, if the Inquisitor kept the Wardens around after Here Lies the Abyss then their numbers are bolstered. It may cost Wiesshaupt later, but that’s Rooks problem. And if you completed the Descent, then the Inquisitor and Warden had a much better idea of what was coming and spent ten years getting ready.

They will not be broken.

They will weather this storm.
