i still have to tidy stuff up here, but i do want to remind everyone that this is a heavily canon divergent portrayal of ameridan. he deserved more nuance than what bioware gave him. he carries a lot of anti-orlais and anti-chantry sentiment ( not anti-andrastian, even though his thoughts on the religion are complicated ) and drakon's 'friendship' with the elves of that time is on thin ice at most. they stopped being friends, in ameridan's mind, before the first divine sat on the sunburst throne

even though he likely keeps up a face of unity to most inquisitors, especially human ones, anyone would be able to tell how worn down he was by his duty then. he was doing all he could to defend mages, the dales, and the cultures of the peoples orlais conquered from orlais itself. he tried his hardest to keep orlais from becoming what it did -- even though he knew it was inevitable :)

#TBT.#ameridan's not a fool; he knew what he was to orlais #a battering ram; a pawn; someone to show 'unity' despite none existing #he used his power as inquisitor to protect those orlais wanted to control #taking in many from the tribes of southern thedas to safeguard them and the remnants of their cultures #even if it put him at odds with orlais and/or drakon directly #it was worth it in his eyes
