#Rook Tarot Card Ask Game

Moon, sun, and my favorite card death!

Rook Tarot Card Ask Game -

The Moon: How does Rook's past impact their values? Does their past come with any biases or blind spots they have to account for?

Oooh, Vio's Crow training 100% created within him the idea that he is not capable of being a good person, even if he wants to be. He has quite flexible morality and a lack of personal values because of that lack of true personhood growing up.

The Sun: What is Rook passionate about? How do they fuel that passion?

Vio really lost all passion for everything he once held through his deep depression downslide. But in his time with the Veilguard as he learns to better manage it, at least the best he can, he starts getting curious about elven history and culture again. Especially thanks to Bellara's infectious attitude towards it.

Death: What part of Rook do they need to kill to become the best version of themselves?

Answered here!

the lovers and judgement for the rook tarot asks!

Wow, I was surprised someone will actually ask haha. Thanks!)

(Eng is not my first language, so if there any mistakes pls inform me)

rn i have 3 main Rooks:

qunari Virida Aldwir (she/her), dwarf Teighan Ingellvar (she/they) and elf Nailynn Thorne (she/her)

The Lovers: Who is your Rook's most significant relationship within the Veilguard? How do they help Rook feel seen and understood?

Virida: She’s very flattered by Emmrich attention, thoughtfulness and kindness.Not a lot people gave her that (outside of her family). Also she’s impressed with how much effort he puts in their dates. Since she has vibe of “mom” of team, it’s nice to have someone who would take care of her. Tbh, just his smile makes her heart go crazy, but she would never admit it haha.

Teighan: Despite their origins, Teighan is very collected person. With Bellara it’s more Teighan making sure she’s seen. Especially, as Mourn Watcher, helping her going through grief. Also, Teighan never thought that their friendship will (or could) blossom into something more. Maybe just being there for their partner and not being alone is what Tei needed.

Nailynn: This Rook is very anxious and clumsy and Neve’s confidence and cool persona makes Nailynn feel more secure and she less afraid to be more herself around Neve. Also Rook feel that Neve actually likes her company wich makes Lynn happy. Nailynn also had big crush on Neve since their first interaction in the Lighthouse.

Judgement: How does Rook approach difficult decisions? How do they cope with the consequences of those choices?

Virida: Like a responsible leader she thought about all possibilities with hope that none of her team get hurt. She accepts the consequences of the actions. Tho, she’s stubborn person and acts very defensive about her decisions.

Teighan: They act first and think second. Probably, later (in the beginning of Act 2) Teighan actually sit and rethink everything, when she realise that it’s not only her life on line. Someone will get hurt if Tei won’t be careful.

Nailynn: If things turn out badly, she will blame herself mostly since she’s in charge. Nailynn always unsure of herself and she better under someone else guidance, but eventually she’ll become more confidante in herself.

original post with Rook Tarot Card Ask Game

[linka-from-captain-planet]

fantasy:

I load up Dragon Age: Veilguard for my first play. After creating my Rook, I progress to a simple screen. "Continuing Your Adventure?", it asks, with a quick explanation that this part of customization is optional and will have no effect on the Veilguard story, but players of previous games can enter a few key choices and find easter eggs about them while exploring.

"Don't mind if I do!" I say, and am taken to a lovely interface where I make about 10 choices by selecting beautiful tarot cards representing the major outcomes of previous games. This is a pleasant experience, because each card is accompanied by a brief summary of that choice and an intriguingly vague blurb about the consequences it had over the past decade-ish in Thedas. Fun! I read the lore, admire the art, reminisce on playthroughs of yore, and enter Veilguard excited to experience the next part of the story.

Later, I loot an "Orlesian mask", and Rook or a companion delivers a banter line referencing the leader(s) of Orlais, whom I selected in world state customization. Hark, codex updated?! I open the entry and read it, and the text delivers payoff on the intriguingly vague blurb from the tarot card.

By the end of the game, I have found similar easter eggs for all of the world state choices I selected in customization. While it would have been nice for these choices to be woven more organically into the story, I understand why this would have been impractical, and am content to see my Thedas represented in a simple, fun, and engaging way :)

Dragon Age: The Veilguard

There's some post-game thoughts I can mark as spoiler ones. Read only if you finished the game.

I love the game. Really. The grand finale was magnificent, the main plot idea is painfully touching and I adore the heavy weight of sorrow I bear after I finished the game. The best kind of bittersweet grief of possible.

However it doesn't mean the game is flawless. There's some stuff I didn't get at all.

Why there's no option to ask Solas about the Forgotten Ones? Like, hello, you have an encyclopedia of elven lore in your head, can't you ask a few optional questions about weird ancient guy you've met during the journey? Nadas Dirthalen? (Or it's because da5 is going to be about new dwarven and/or qunari lore and Forgotten Ones/Executors?)

You also can't say anything about the murals.. which is kinda strange. Why didn't Rook comment those mind-blowing revelations? For Harding, at least?

Evanuris. Solas' story is beautifully written, Mythal' story was also revealed more than before (even if she's in all 4 games) so we get to know her better. But Elgar'nan and Ghilan'nain? Fine, forget other evanuris.. but the spectacular duo? Spirits and demons are kinda the same, like two sides of a coin. Solas is Wisdom and Pride, Mythal is Benevolence and Retribution (as Morrigan said). Elgar'nan and Ghilan'nain are just.. bad? They're blighted and corrupted now but what about the past? Where's the duality of their personalities? No chance for redemption now because they don't want or need it, I get the idea, but the story itself? I wish there would be more about them. We do have something on Ghilan'nain tho, like: she created hallas but can't create them any longer and she has a full control over the Blight as if it's modeling clay (+ some Bellara' thoughts on a matter of "navigation" and "healing" and path Ghilan'nain chose for the People). But Elgar'nan? He likes tyranny. And he still had his hair. Uhm.. ┐⁠(⁠ ⁠∵⁠ ⁠)⁠┌

Romances. Can't say much because I didn't try all of them but Neve's and Lucanis'.. uhm. It doesn't feel like a written romance, y'know? Just a bonus lines so you doesn't have to feel lonely or whatever. Characters are on their own and don't have connection with Rook till the very end. There's no impact and Rook is, ironically, just an enjoyable side benefit™ but nothing more. Comparing to datv romance situation solavellan romance is hot as hell and full of content. And it says a lot.

Inquisitor. I do like how their absence was explained... yet Lavellan was robbed. I don't want to see a cringe Fade therapy session with Solas telling his tragic lovestory to a random stranger (Rook) and whining about just how much he misses his gorgeous wife (and I'm solavellan). But adding a few tiny details? The bare minimum: take the dai tarot card and place it on the wall in a music room. That already could've been much better. (mods mods mods 🤞🤞🤞).

Dialogue timing and triggers. I suspect dialogues are cool but I can't know for sure. In my first playthrough I didn't even know Davrin and Lucanis are not a big fans of each other before the Weisshaupt quest because I didn't hear it. DATV locations are much smaller than it was in DAI, so you just don't get the chance to hear those dialogues unless you find a trigger point and just stay there waiting to play all lines.

Some of that is not a tragedy and, theoretically, could be improved by magnificent people creating mods. But sometimes datv seems kinda unfinished like there's a missing puzzle pieces as if content was cut out with no replacement.

Despite some questionable moments and a bit of criticism I love this game regardless. It's dark and atmospheric, absolutely beautiful and mesmerizing. And analysis of Regret? Choices and consequences, acceptance, struggling, desperation, guilt..? The work Bioware did deserves to be highly appreciated. The final left me in tears, sobbing and grieving, and heartbroken - that's all I ever wanted of Dragon Age 💜

The High Priestess,The Hermit and The World!

The High Priestess: Which does Rook obey more: their head or their heart?

and

The Hermit: When Rook is alone with their thoughts, what do they think about? Is solitude a blessing or a curse for them?

i feel like before the events of veilguard gentle has never had to make difficult choices that would require them to listen to one above the other; what they had to do and how was always dictated for them by someone else. during the antaam job something just clicked inside - afterwards they were at a loss for why they acted the way they have. varric's relentless insistence that they are a good person who can handle the responsibility of being a leader and "do the right thing" confused and terrified them; like a puppet with its strings cut, they were unsure what sort of person they even are, let alone why varric thought they were good. what if they weren't? the antaam thing came out of nowhere. or not? why did they do it? everyone else trusts varric's judgement and expects them to act accordingly. now they must pretend that they know what they're doing, or maybe they actually do know? then again, they make choices that are expected of them given the circumstances... or because they want to make them? how can you expect a knife to decide on its own who or what or why to strike?

suffice to say, gentle tries to avoid being left to its own devices as much as possible.

The World: What does happily-ever-after look like for Rook? Is it attainable, or just wishful thinking?

i think after all the personal growth gentle does during and after veilguard they would feel reluctant to return to the crows. neve would go back to minrathous to do what she does best, and gentle would follow, because where else should trouble be if not by her side? they might even join the shadow dragons. they do still love killing people, after all. and there's no shortage of people to kill in minrathous

For the oc ask game 7 and 8 for Ennera?

(yes I didn't check if you did her presentation no I don't care and yes this is a blank writ for you to ramble about her)

Love u

The ask references this post. Ennera Lavellan is my mage Inquisitor. A (really) quick sketch done tonight as a treat. And as always I forgot to add her vallaslin lmao but who's surprised ?? (she has Sylaise's one, I'll update later).

HI DEAR (no I didn't because I wanted to do Kali before... but I can literally do Ennera as her tarot card is done lmao BUT YOU KNOW HOW MY BRAIN WORKS) thanks for entertaining my never ending madness, as you do every day 🫶

+ i tried to proofread but there's probably a looot of grammatical errors I'm sorry !!

#7 favorite animal? why?

Ennera would probably say she loves every kind of animals. She's not bothered by any of them (except maybe giant spiders and the INFAMOUS DEEPSTALKERS what even are these things ?? Saw one, said "ahhhwww" and nearly died, so now that's an instakill) but yeah she loves a lot of them.

HOWEVER. Her favorite one is the rabbit. The more fur, the merrier. She rescued a litter of rabbits when she was in the Free Marches (around ~20 yo) and took care of them, then adopted one of them. The rabbit became bigger and bigger, until he barely fit in her tiny arms. (She's approx 1m55/5"1'... 😔) He has a lot of fur she uses to knit some scarves. She finds him fun and lovely, despite the creature being a spawn of hell. (The words of her bff. He's not totally wrong.)

If we talk about mounts, she loves traveling with dracolisks. Don't ask why. She says that since nobody wishes to walk them, she needs to mount them often. I suppose she's worried they could munch on the hand of a recruit... but her true reason is that she loves seeing the discomfited look on people's faces when she arrives, short and happy, on a dinosaur's back. Also they have more stamina than a horse and can climb mountains so that's a plus, as she can't follow paths.

#8 do they have a nickname? who gave it to them? if it's not derived from their real name, what's the story behind it?

Okay so there are a few ones.

Aodren, her bff / brother, calls her En or Neeree (pronounced [ni:-ʁe]) when he's feeling soft. The second is how he and her mother called her when she was little. If he feels mischevious, it's shorty (or half sprout / demi pousse in french). Later, it will be your Inquisitorialness (ton Inquisitude in French lol), nickname proudly stolen from Sera.

Cullen, her future husband, calls her Ma dame (My Lady) at first or when he feels flirty. It became an inside joke in the long run, as poor Cullen was unable to use his brain after their installation in Skyhold and he couldn't use her name without stuttering (and she forbade him to use Inquisitor when they were flirting not working). If not it's a classical Mon amour (my love). When they are married he says it in elven (mir lath) but he's not really imaginative and so am I 😔

When Varric will feel more at ease with her, he will call her Sunflower (Tournesol). The more she's accustomed to her new title, the more she showed her companions her personality : someone joyful who tend to light the mood. Sunshine would be a better nickname but it's hard to translate it in French, and I like the comparison with a flower since she likes them so dearly ! It also refers to her bright yellow Sylaise's vallaslin.

Thanks for asking !! It was fun to do 😌 There's a few more lists under the #ask game list tag if something crosses your mind ! I'm still opened to more asks about these characters, from a list or not.

For the record : Kallian my HoF-Rook /romanced Alistair ; Marian Hawke even tho it's not my most fleshed out character /romanced Anders then Varric bc I can ; Ennera my Inquisitor /romanced Cullen ; Tahlen, son of Kallian & Alistair ; Aodren, Ennera's childhood friend /romanced Dorian. I want to introduce them all to you so BAD it's hurting me. But I'll do the tarot card first to go nicely with their introduction posts I SWEAR 😤

[six-improbable-things]

The DM of Rook's game is a cruel bastard for last night's cliffhanger. (/lh) Not to mention that I have to wait TWO WEEKS to pick it back up again.

We were walking through this creepy underwater-but-dry, mostly abandoned, kind of ruined city, looking for an idol of Furicifer that was brought to life by the Kuo-Toa that live here. And he asked for a marching order. Obviously, since I'm the rogue, I went first. I had to roll a perception check and passed it easily, but then he told me to roll a wisdom save.

One thing you need to know about me is that I am consistently GARBAGE at saving throws. It doesn't matter if I have advantage and a +5, there's at least an 80% chance I'm going to fail it.

So predictably I roll like garbage. Rook gets separated from the rest of the party, but doesn't notice at first. (The whole time we've been down here, space has been a bit... weird. People suddenly ending up far away from the rest of the party without anyone seeing them leave, that kind of thing. It's not quite teleportation though. More like this place fucks with your senses.)

Anyways, he's walking along through this creepy-ass city, and the DM tells me that I hear a bottle being opened, and then liquid being poured into some kind of vessel. It sounds like drinks being poured.

I round the corner, and in the middle of the road is a table with two chairs. One is empty, and in the other Sigmar is sitting there.

I made an extremely undignified screeching sound when he sad it, even though I knew ahead of time that he was going to show up.

For context, I knew that each of us was going to get a special little mindfuck vision/nightmare from Furicifer to try and distract us from finding his idol. The DM asked me for ideas for Rook because he's already had so many Furicifer nightmares and this one needed to be SPECIAL. So I gave him one of the most evil ideas I've ever had.

It's based off an idea I had for a render almost exactly a year ago. (Specifically an ace of swords tarot card.) I told him I wanted Rook to see Sigmar again, and I told him I wanted Sigmar to stab him. (In the original concept, the single sword in the ace of swords is the one Sigmar is ramming through Rook's heart.) I can't WAIT to see what the DM does with this next session. He always blows me away with his dialogue/RP as Sigmar/Purity, and I know he's just as brainrotted over these two as I am.

But getting that tiny teaser and having to wait two weeks... I'm going to explode. I MISSED THAT LYING BASTARD. And I know it's just a fake version of him sent be a demon lord to hurt and fuck up Rook as much as possible, but that's almost even better.

Rook Tarot Ask Game: Romance Edition -

The Star: What does hope in the aftermath look like for Rook and their love interest? When things feel hopeless, how do they act as each other’s light in the darkness?

Howdy new moot 🫡 The Fool and The Chariot for the Rook tarot card ask game? 👀

Aaa hewwo new mooot!!! 💖

Tysm for indulging meee, I may be slow to posting but I do love yapping about my Rook when disabilities allow! 💖 Ask Game these are from <- feel free to ask me any of these I'll spend the next few days answering! 💖

Answers under the cut to save innocent bystanders dashes lmfao

The Fool: Where did Rook's journey begin? What were they doing before joining the Veilguard?

How far back are we going? He was kept home for ages in a very weird family situation, forced to go the Circle when his magic came in, then had a wonderfully fucked up relationship with a Magisters son that ruined him for a while, then had a falling out with family after a super traumatic incident, then worked with the Shadow Dragons while living on the street for a while till Tarquin dragged him into a roommate situation for a while when Tarquin found out about the homeless thing, then they had an awkward situationship, then they had the whole well, Nessus mission... and then boom Veilguard! Happy to clarify anything if you have any questions as i know that was a VERY condensed summary that definitely glossed over some stuff hehe!

The Chariot: How does Rook fight? What are their preferred abilities and damage type?

Az is a dagger & orb mage! He *loves* AOE attacks, and uses a mixture of fire & electric attacks! He takes a lot of pride in his fighting and practices whenever he's free & isn't hyper-fixating on something else honestly lmao.

Originally he was purely just a fight to get out as quick as possible type of guy. And he still is to an extent but after... well everything, especially after the fade prison, he does take much more joy in combat. It's a real great aggression reliever.

justice and the hanged man for the rook asks!

You didn't specify a rook, so I'll do both!

Justice: How does Rook feel about the circumstances that led to them leaving their faction? What does returning feel like?

Kalias didn't feel like it was fair that the crows reprimanded him. Kalias was kidnapped by slavers as a kid (thus why he doesn't have an Antivian accent) before being freed/recruited by the Crows, so Viago knows he has very strong opinions on slavers/kidnappers (Also why he took them out quickly without thinking.) But he understood why Viago sent him away. Honestly, returning felt like a breath of fresh air. He honestly thought Viago would be more upset with him, but he could tell he just missed his little chaos brother, but so did everyone else in house De Riva (plus Teia).

Veryl on the other hand was really upset. He upheld his oath, and protected those who needed protecting from darkspawn, no matter the cost. It's not his fault the cost was throwing town hall on top of the darkspawn hole! He on the other hand was more tense when rejoining the wardens (outside of Davrin/Evka/Antoine). He was polite, but you could tell he and the first Warden never got along.

The Hanged Man: What does Rook do when their hard work doesn't pay off? How do they cope with failure?

Kalias takes things personally. He often feels guilty when things don't go how they were supposed to, most likely due to his Crow training, and if there is more added on, he gets stressed easily. He doesn't show it though and usually just laughs things off and shoves his feelings down until he eventually breaks down and it'll take a few days for him to recover. He usually isolates himself in that situation.

Veryl takes things one step at a time. Sometimes you have to improvise when things go awry, and you usually don't have time to mourn what you could have done when every day is touch and go. He tends to look on the more positive side of things and he takes his wins where he can.

the empress and the wheel of fortune for Lydia? :]

ahh thank you for the ask <333

The Empress: What does family mean for Rook?

Answered here!

The Wheel of Fortune: Describe an interesting character moment for your Rook. What made this moment stand out to you?

There are definitely a few moments that stick out in my memory, but I'm gonna go with a fun one for this question: The lead up to the Fangscorcher fight 🔥 Taash described her as a quote "big dumb puppy" afterwards, and I feel like that hit the nail on the head lol. She was so excited for this fight, she doesn't share Taash's dragon expertise but she does love dragons, they're these huge powerful beasts with abilities strong enough to rock your to your core...... she'd never fight one for no reason, obviously, and it's not like she wants to have a bunch of innocent dead dragons to deal with on a logical level, but like. if the dragon's already causing trouble anyway. and there's really no other choice but to tango with it...

and idk it's just a moment I find really really cute, and appropriately "Dragon" Age heh <3

Rook Tarot Card Ask Game

[teyrnacousland]

Fool and the Devil for the Tarot game :)

Thanks for the ask! :)

Rook Tarot Asks: Romance Edition

The Fool: Describe the first meeting between Rook and their love interest. What was Rook thinking in that moment? Was it an instant attraction?

Cassia and Lucanis meet in the Ossuary, so obviously it’s incredibly romantic. The threat of the crushing weight of the sea looming over you, the screams of the undead at your back, dead Venatori all around... 👍

On the way through the Ossuary she’s thinking like a scholar, trying to figure out what happened and how, but that changes when they find Lucanis. It’s not romantic at all, it’s purely Cassia being an empathetic little people pleaser. She can't imagine what he's been through and she wants to get him out of there and back home. He's been surrounded by horrors for a year, and all she can do for him is not be one. Whether or not she trusts him isn't even a question. It doesn't matter. He needs someone to, so she does.

Attraction doesn't even cross her mind until the first time she goes to talk to him in the pantry back at the Lighthouse and she's looking at him like "wait, was he this hot the whole time??"

The Devil: This is not a fun card to pull in a romance reading, especially not for Valentine’s Day. Instead, share a song that makes you think of your Rook and their partner.

If I can only pick one it's this one. But if I may add a second song...

[mayonayys]

Hi! The World and The Devil for the romance Tarot game!

The World: Thedas is saved, but changed. Where do Rook and their love interest go from here? Is marriage on the table? Children? What milestones do they have to look forward to?

I don't think children would cross Mihren and Davrin's minds any time soon. They'd have their hands full with Assan. Mihren would be spending a lot of time building back up her relationships with her family and finding her place in Minrathous again, Davrin would be doing similar. Eventually, the two of them would want to settle down—as much as either of their lifestyles would allow. Biological children wouldn’t be out of the question, but with Mihren’s line of work with the Shadow Dragons, it’s more likely that the two of them would essentially have a child fall into their lap.

The Devil: This is not a fun card to pull in a romance reading, especially not for Valentine’s Day. Instead, share a song that makes you think of your Rook and their partner.

I listen to a lot of just shitty music so this is always a difficult prompt for me 😂 but after some careful listening to some of the sappier songs in my playlists I’ve settled onto We’ll Never Have Sex by Leith Ross.

Mihren has had a difficult time with relationships in the past—being used and discarded seemed the norm. But Davrin has shown her that that’s not how it has to be, that she’s deserving of being loved.

the fool and the wheel of fortune!

Rook Tarot Ask Game: Romance Edition -

The Fool: Describe the first meeting between Rook and their love interest. What was Rook thinking in that moment? Was it an instant attraction?

I don't think instant attraction is the right way to describe it; more like awe. Vio had heard of the Demon of Vyrantium, but to actually see Lucanis in action, even after being locked up for a year, was very impressive. But Vio was of the mindset that they had a job to do, and that was all that mattered; there was no time to think of anything else. The first spark of attraction didn't really occur to Vio until back at the lighthouse, when he realized he really did not want to kill Lucanis just because of Spite. It was an impractical reaction, and one that surprised himself.

The Wheel of Fortune: Each of Rook’s potential love interests are dealing with significant personal issues and difficult choices. How do these choices affect their relationship, and how does Rook support them through their personal journey?

There's definitely a little bit of tension at some point out of the fact that Vio does not have the same familial relationships that Lucanis has. He has no family, and he's jealous that Lucanis does, while at the same time he doesn't understand why Lucanis feels so obligated to his cousin and his grandmother if their relationships are so complicated. However, getting into Lucanis's head (literally) really helps put things into perspective for Vio, and enables him to better understand how to help Lucanis with what he really needs at the time, not just what Vio thinks would be simpler/easier.
