#Or some of my ancient dragons

[amplexadversary]

Four Noc eggs from my last 30 chests sets me at 54 (with a chest or two in the cauldron)

I am not an early riser, so that's probably the final number, but it's a respectable amount, even though I didn't quite make it to my estimate of 60.

Eh, I'll set an alarm for 5 FR time and see if my gathering turns turn up anything. Worst case scenario it gets me a little more trade materials for chests for next year, and then I can roll over and go back to sleep before ttrpg time.

It's really interesting that Wynne actually has quite a measured, bordering on downright sympathetic response to hearing what Jowan did in the prologue -- if the mage Warden says "I still can't believe Jowan was that stupid", her answer is something like a thoughtful "Stupid, or desperate, or merely curious?". She seems to think of Jowan as a kid who got in over his head, rather than any less charitable interpretation. I do believe she genuinely is as against blood magic as she publicly expresses and as the Circle party line demands, but as a private person she clearly has a more nuanced and potentially kinder understanding of the reasons why someone might resort to it, at the very least.

(related: when she says that part about Irving telling her what happened, there's no dialogue option in the first stage of the conversation (except choosing the 'leaving the conversation' one) that doesn't net you +2 approval! no matter how the warden feels about it, she is ready to recieve it. I think that says something sweet about how Wynne conceptualizes younger mages and the honest real affection she has for them. if you didn't snitch on jowan and say you stand by that decision, though? +3 approval, apparently! what Wynne says and what Wynne thinks is not always the same thing indeed, her idea of where personal loyalty and integrity stands vis-a-vis a mage's responsibility to the circle may be more flexible than she'd have people believe, you'll be surprised to learn lol)

I have always liked wynne and found her interesting, in all her hypocrisies and her earnest care, but with slightly older eyes she's extra fascinating to me in the same ways that Iron Bull is -- seeing someone whose mind has had hollows carved out in it by the need for double-think and compartmentalization imposed by the oppressive systems and ideologies they live under, and the quiet fight of the self to still preserve vital parts of itself that the system deems unacceptable in the hidden backstage areas of the soul, as it were. (and for both of them part of that self is love and protectiveness of specific other people, beyond what their 'role' dictates is acceptable for them.) I think Wynne has managed to sneak more of her internal self through the meatgrinder relatively intact than Bull overall, but it's the same logic underlying it, for me, and it makes me feel such intense affection and compassion for them both to see how hard they try

God the lore around humans is fucking me up. Everything up until Veilguard suggests that humans did not exist in Thedas until around the time the Veil was created:

The elven calendar records the arrival of humans as taking place 4500 years after the founding of Arlathan (250 years before the creation of the Veil).

There is no direct mention of a world pre-Veil in human history. The chant does however claim that the Maker created "opposition in all things" before creating humanity, but again - the humans only came after.

The ONLY thing, as far as i know, that disproves all that is Solas telling Mythal he has "no desire to live as humans". Which means:

Elves and spirits were familiar with humans as far back as during their war with the Titans.

Spirits like Solas associated the act of existing physically with humans - not dwarves.

The only thing I can come up with to reconcile these pieces of information is that humans existed naturally in Thedas, were driven north due to the Elf-Titan war, and then later being able to return when Elvhenan fell. The displacement of the humans wasn't significant enough to be remembered by the elves or the dwarves (there was a fucking war going on).

It could also just be Veilguard being silly. But it does make sense that humans would flee from a continent with constant earthquakes and increasingly powerful spirits. Still odd that none of this survives in oral history.

Another drawing to put on my dragon's profile

getting to the bottom of the new area and going oh 1. ajaw was telling the truth about what (he thinks) he was 2. so that's why he looks like that 3. did kinich go to ochkanatlan to meet him or was he set up somewhere else

[imagionary]

So since Dave and Prester are both eldritch creatures, do they know about each other?

Eldrich creatures? What ever do you mean? They're both totally normal cogs uwu

In all seriousness, though, I think the both of them didn't know each other until they met; and when they locked eyes, they learned everything about each other. To make sure they both keep quiet about their secret, they've become pals over the years, me thinks; but they only talk or do anything together in private. They've found it to be kinda fun using their eldrich abilities to do things in secret.

These dragons, their siblings and more are currently looking for a new home on the AH. They are available both in gems and treasure or even mixed.
