THE CHAMPION OF KIRKWALL

What can be said about Cillian Hawke that hasn’t been sung about in countless taverns, the source of endless drunken rambling and exasperated laughter? The Tale of the Champion lacks the traditional hallmarks of more classical folklore; indeed, Hawke is hardly a truly noble warrior nor a fully righteous hero. What he is – far-fetched escapades aside – is a person, lowly and ordinary, whose adventures have come to symbolize a triumph for the lowly and ordinary people. And it’s for that reason you won’t hear moving renditions regaled by court poets or prestigious bards. The wise know his is a story best joked about in the comfort of one’s home or ignoble bar of choice, shared between a few good friends and too many cheap drinks. [template]

#da2 #oc: cillian #before anybody asks. yes he is the least cunning rogue to ever exist lol #HES NOT STEALTHY HE'S SCRAPPY OK !#anyways he started off primarily as a blue hawke but i think thats cancelled now.... the more trauma he accumulates the funnier he gets #i just love the idea that he's just as fucking mentally unwell as the rest of the kirkwall crew #the reason why he and varric become instant best friends is bc hawke's stories are INSANE and spoken about SO casually #his life in kirkwall honestly isnt even the wildest stuff hes been involved in (aside from act 3)#he just gets consistenly caught up in chaos through dumb luck and never staying in one place too long #kirkwall is the one place he felt he had permanency and purpose in. so having to leave really broke his heart tbh #ALSO fun lore for folks just tuning in !#i hc he asks varric to lie about the ending of the book irt what happens with anders. and to make sure everybody believes anders is dead #and that cillian killed him. which he didnt <3 but <3 #he wants him to be safe and also uh doesnt want sebastian to launch an incursion into kirkwall lol #(i feel like that part fails instantly bc seb is immediately like Press X To Doubt but whatever points for trying)
