DATV - FINAL BATTLE CUT CONTENT

What changed during the fight with the final boss. The Archdemon was supposed to die from a cannon shot in the Archon's Palace. Bellara or Neve would boost the cannon with the red lyrium the Venatori had pumped into them. Or Emmrich would cast enchantments on it. Solas didn't turn into a wolf, he was holding back a portal of blight. The wolf was his beast, which was supposed to be a distraction. Rook meanwhile fought the demons, and then Elgar'nan, who took on different forms of Pride, Envy, and Rage. There were more banters during the fight. I wouldn't say these dialogues are very diverse. But if someone wants to read it, here it is.

Soals: Rook. Our only chance now is to work together! Rook: Really? While you drown the world in demons? Soals: If you recover the dagger, I will do what I can to stop Elgar'nan! Soals: I must hold back the blight! My wolf will distract Elgar'nan while you take the dragon!

Soals: Rook, I will hold the portal as best I can!

Elgar'nan: The Dread Wolf? Elgar'nan: You cannot stop me! You never could! Soals: No! Elgar'nan: Yes! The portal opens! Feel the true power of the blight, Fen'Harel! Soals: You will not bring your poison into this world!

Rook: Let's move. As long as any of us are still alive, nothing gets to Bellara/Neve! Emmrich: We'll protect Bellara, no matter the cost! Lucanis: We'll give Bellara/Neve the time she needs! Neve: For Bel. Whatever it takes! Taash: For Bellara/Neve! Bellara: We'll keep you safe, Neve! Emmrich: We'll shield Neve, come what may! Harding: We've got her back! Lucanis: Just give me something I can kill! (if romance with Neve)

After the fight with the demons

Bellara: The cannon is ready and targeting the Archdemon! The firing panel should be nearby. Neve: Cannon's ready, and the Archdemon's in sight! The firing panel should be close. Emmrich: The cannon is ready and aimed at the Archdemon! The activation panel should be nearby.

Bellara: The mechanism for firing the cannon must have gotten damaged in the fight! Davrin: The mechanism to fire the cannon broke during the fight! Harding: The firing mechanism was damaged in the fight! Lucanis: The cannon must have been damaged. Neve: The firing mechanism—it got damaged in the fight! Taash: The demons broke the thing that fires the cannon!

Rook: Bellara/Neve/Emmrich, the firing panel's damaged. Is there any other way to fire the cannon? Bellara: Let me see.... Yes, there's a manual firing mechanism, but it's all the way over on the Archon's throne! Neve: Damn it. Wait—there's a manual firing mechanism, but it's over on the Archon's throne! Emmrich: Let me—Yes! A manual firing mechanism, over on the Archon's throne!

Solas: Rook, I cannot reach the mechanism while keeping the portal closed, but I can make you a path! Rook: Appreciate it.

Rook: Crystal's down there. Let's move!

Elgar'nan: Bear witness, mortals, to the power of a god. Bellara: Still not a god! Davrin: I haven't been impressed so far! Emmrich: History will record your fall here! Lucanis: Do you ever shut up? Neve: (Laughs) You think a speech will impress me? Taash: You talk too much! And your dragon is ugly! Elgarnan: You cannot harm me. All you can do is flee. Davrin: I've got a few moves left! They all end with you dead! Emmrich: Your fellow god thought so as well! Harding: This is for the Titans! Isatunoll! Harding: It is no longer your time, it is ours! For the Titans! For the dwarves! Isatunoll! Lucanis: We'll see about that. Neve: I run toward disaster. Bad habit! Taash: Davrin/Harding wouldn't give up! Neither will I! Taash: Lace is gone because of you! (if romance with Harding) Elgarnan: You will fail. You will fall. And then you will submit. Bellara: The elves will never bow to you again! Davrin: Wardens don't know how to do that! We fight to the end Emmrich: Neither the living nor the dead shall ever bow to you again! Harding: I am the memory of my ancestors. I am the heart of the Titan. I will never submit! Harding: I am the child of the Titans, and it is you who will fall! Neve: Not my style! Taash: You're not even that tall! Lucanis: Say that again when my knife is in your back.

Lucanis' last line gives the vibes of his narrative sketches.

Elgar'nan: You cannot win! Elgar'nan: I am your god! Elgar'nan: This world is mine! Elgar'nan: While my dragon-thrall lives, I am invulnerable. Yet still you fight. Pathetic. (ingame line) Rook: We killed an Archdemon at Weisshaupt, and we saved the Dalish at Arlathan. Rook: I don't need thralls. I've got a team. Rook: That was enough to take down Ghilan'nain, and it's enough to take down you.

Elgar'nan turns into Pride

Elgar'nan: This is my moment of triumph. Nothing shall interfere with the dawn of my empire! Bellara: What is this? It's more than just a demon! Davrin: What is this thing? Has he got a demon impersonating him? Harding: What is this thing? Did he force his form onto a demon? Lucanis: What the—? Is a demon impersonating him? Neve: What is this thing? Not a demon impersonating him? Taash: What is this vashedan? Has he got a demon impersonating him? Lucanis: This is no demon. This is Elgar'nan's will. Bellara/Harding: It's not a demon. It's a manifestation of Elgar'nan's will! Neve: It's not a demon. It's Elgar'nan's will—a full manifestation of it! Taash: It's not a demon! It's his feelings or some crap! Emmrich: This is no spirit. It's a manifestation of Elgar'nan's will!

Rook: Keep him off Bellara/Neve!

Reaction to Pride v.0.1 Taash: This thing's tougher than a regular demon! Bellara: That demon's going to be tricky! Davrin: That's one tough demon! Lucanis: This demon is not going down easy. Harding: This one's a lot! Why isn't it down yet? Neve: This demon's a damn pain! Harding: It's not a normal demon! It's Elgar'nan's will, in physical form! Emmrich: This isn't a mere spirit of pride, but a manifestation of Elgar'nan's will! Taash: I don't think it's just a demon! It's Elgar'nan's feelings or something! Neve: It's not your typical demon! It's a manifestation of Elgar'nan's will! Lucanis: This is not just any pride. This is Elgar'nan's pride. Bellara: Not just a demon! It's a manifestation of Elgar'nan's will!

Rook: Bellara/Emmrich/Neve? Elgar'nan's taking a personal interest in the crystal. We might be a minute. Emmrich: I'll ready the cannon while you see them off! Neve: You get that handled. I'll get us a cannon! Bellara: You can do it. I'll get the cannon ready!

Elgar'nan turns into Envy

Rook: Right. We got him. Elgar'nan: I am rulership. I am authority unchecked over all the sun touches! None who live will oppose me! Rook: Here he comes again! Elgar'nan: All who serve me are extensions of my will. My power is manifest across this world... while you stand alone.

Elgar'nan tries to mindcontrol Rook

Elgar'nan: "Goodbye, Assan." The final words of the elf who sacrificed himself for your failure. (in this version, Assan survived) Elgar'nan: "Tell my ma I love her." The final words of the dwarf who sacrificed herself for your failure. Rook: Oh, you really wanna do this? Rook: "Elgar'nan. I had such plans." Ghilan'nain's never gonna finish those plans, is she? Rook: She died a failure, because Harding/Davrin chose to give her/his life like a damn hero. Rook: And you're not saying anything about Bellara/Neve, are you? Because we got her back.

Elgar'nan: Empty words from a mortal who was little more than the Dread Wolf's tool. Rook: Yeah, I got played. And then my friends were there to help. Rook: But you have no friends. All you can send against me are copies of yourself, because you have nobody. Rook: And when we're done with you, you're gonna die alone. Elgar'nan: (Roars in anger)

Elgar'nan: (Straining) You will kneel! Rook: (Straining) Not today, and not to you!

Rook back

Bellara/Davrin/Emmrich/Harding: Rook, you're back! Are you all right? Taash: Rook! You good? Neve: Rook—Trouble! Are you all right? (romance line) Neve: Rook—you're back! Everything good? Rook: Never better. Neve: I'm done with his mind games! We're ending this. Neve: You don't give up, do you? So let's finish this! (romance line) Neve: Good! Now let's kick him out of Minrathous—and the rest of Thedas, too! Bellara/Davrin/Harding: Then let's finish this! Taash: Good! Now let's kick his ass! Lucanis: Then let's finish this bastard. I have a contract to fulfill.

Bellara: How's it going down there? I can't finish with the cannon 'til you destroy that crystal! Neve: Rook? Hate to bother you, but I can't do much with the cannon until that crystal's destroyed. Emmrich: Are you all right, Rook? I can't do anything with the cannon until you've destroyed that crystal. Rook: Soon as we're done with Elgar'nan!

Elgar'nan turns into Rage

Elgar'nan: I am fire and darkness! If you will not bow, you will burn!

Bellara: This feels like a lot of manifestations of will for one person! God. Whatever. Davrin: Oh, come on—how many forms does this guy have? Harding: How many of these shapes does he have? Lucanis: Mierda. How many shapes does he have? Neve: Another side of Elgar'nan—well isn't he charming! Taash: How many damn different shapes does this asshole have?

Solas: Rook! I cannot hold the portal much longer! Rook: Hey! You wanted this fight! Don't you dare give up on me now!

Bellara: Now! Take him down! Davrin/Emmrich/Lucanis: Now! Finish him off! Harding: Now! Finish it! Neve: Now's your shot! Take it! Taash: There! Take that asshole down!

Rook: Solas! We've got the dagger, but we still need to kill the Archdemon!

Solas: Rook! Here! Solas: With my power, you can stand against him!

Post fight

Bellara: Okay! Destroy the crystal before Elgar'nan returns! Emmrich: Quickly! Destroy the crystal before Elgar'nan returns! Harding: Get the crystal before Elgar'nan can come back! Lucanis: Now! Smash the crystal before we get more trouble! Neve: Quick! Destroy the crystal before he comes back. Taash: Come on! Destroy that vashedan crystal before that vashedan elven god comes back!

Crystal broken

Rook: Crystal's shattered! Bellara: Perfect! I'm finishing with the cannon. Just give me a minute! Neve: Knew you had it covered! I've almost got it. One minute! Emmrich: Perfect! I've nearly aligned all the enchantments. One more minute!

Rook: Solas! It's time! Solas: Ready when you are, Rook!

Solas: Elgar'nan! Elgar'nan: Nothing is over. I am eternal. You are an insect. Solas: Surrender now, and this insect will let you live. Elgar'nan: You cannot kill me. You cannot even hurt me. And yet you expect me to yield. Solas: No. Solas: I expect you to gloat. Solas: I was just the distraction.

Bellara: (Grunts with effort) Come on... Neve: (Grunts with effort) Damn it! Come on... Bellara/Neve: Almost got it... Bellara/Neve: (Final scream of effort) Bellara/Neve: (Breathing hard) Rook, the cannon's ready! The firing control is on the Archon's throne! Rook: Got it! before the shot Bellara: The Dread Wolf won! Neve: It's the only shot. Neve: I'll set the dogs on you!

I love this. Every time Rook would touch someone it just felt right and so natural, adding that element of caring and realness. It's something I've definitely carried over to stories about them.

Rook + touch

[kirain]

Bellara: Neve! What are you doing here?

Neve: What? You now I show up for you, Bel. They'd only let one of us come, though. The rest send their regards. Especially Emmrich.

I can only imagine that conversation went something like this:

Neve found Emmrich standing by the window, gazing out at the grey sky, his expression distant—contemplative. The sun had long set, but the moon shined bright, making the night seem less tragic.

"Cyrian's funeral is soon," Neve said gently, drawing his attention.

"What a sombre occasion..." Emmrich sighed. "I hate that Bellara has to go through this." His brows furrowed. "They were so close."

"They were..."

He exhaled, slow and heavy. "Are you going?"

"Yes. Veil Jumper customs only allow one other guest, though. I'm sorry, Emmrich."

He didn't look disappointed, only relieved. "Good. I'm glad she won't be alone." He met Neve's gaze in earnest. "Will you give her my condolences?"

"Of course. See you when we get back."

Neve started to turn, but before she could take a step, Emmrich stumbled forward, his face tightening with thought.

"And—ah—please ask her to wear a sweater on her way home. It wouldn't do at all for her to catch ill."

Neve arched a brow, but he wasn't finished.

"And remind her to keep up with the breathing exercises we practiced. Grief takes a toll on the body, and rest is important."

Neve smirked. "Noted."

"Also, she should eat regularly, even if she doesn't feel like it. Maybe something hot, like soup. Or perhaps tea. Shall I pack some up for you before you go?"

"I don't think that's necessary, Emm. I'm sure they have all that and more at the camp."

"Ah—yes. Quite. Of course they do."

Neve turned again.

"Oh, and if she needs a distraction, she should write things down in her journal. That can be surprisingly soothing for some."

Neve, amused, let him go on a while longer, listening to every little way he wished he could ease Bellara's pain.

But eventually, she lifted a hand.

"Emmrich... I'll just tell Bellara you're thinking of her."

He paused, lips parting as if to say more, but then he cleared his throat, collecting himself. "Yes, well... perhaps that's enough."

Neve chuckled, patting his shoulder. "You're a good friend, Emmrich."

He smiled, weary but warm. "As are you."

She nodded, then took her leave, stepping outside into the cool night air. The moment she did, however, she heard a sharp gasp, followed by hurried footsteps behind her.

"Oh—just one more thing!"

[depressoexpo]

Been playing that dragon game.

DA Veilguard was really fun! Also Emmrich is top tier romance choice ✨

Sharing Sunday - March 23rd

Happy Sharing Sunday, all! Time to share some fanart and fanfic to carry us into the week. This week is all DATV all the time, so feast your eyes on Veilguard goodness.

Shoutout to everyone who shared this week; y’all are awesome!

Fanart:

- By @pinkvbay, Neve as a Golden Naga, using the colors and influences of Neve’s prosthetic to bring this idea to life.

Fanfic:

- From @skullypettibone, Good Luck, Illario! a Bellara/Illario fic. From the author: “Illario happily agrees to let Bellara tie him up and try out praise kink. He's a supporter of the arts after all, and she needs inspiration for her novel. Illario did not account for how much Bellara would have to say, and it breaks him a little.”

Note: NSFW

- By @intheinkpot, A Study of Rook, a pre-relationship Neverook fic and part of the Bring the Light series. From the author: “Rook is something of a mystery that Neve wants to solve. She takes the opportunity to learn more while catching up on gossip in Dock Town. Caius Mercar wants to get to know her better too. He proposes a question for a question.”

- Permanent Trouble, by @rose-s-587, a Neverook series featuring Filip Laidir and Neve Gallus during and after the events of Dragon Age: the Veilguard.

Note: Ratings vary piece to piece and some are NSFW

- @neveschampion’s Neverook series Tevinter Lights. From the author: “Luci Mercar and Neve Gallus, the sun and the moon, the Tevinter Lights.”

Note: Ratings and warnings vary piece to piece and some are NSFW

- I’d Give Everything (And More) by @seaglassmelody, Neve’s reflection on her friendship with Rook. From the author: “Neve and Rook's relationship has been...rocky ever since the fall of Minrathous. But after a mission in Minrathous takes a dire turn, the Veilguard discovers a hidden ability of Rook's - and its consequences, leading Neve to reflect on their relationship (and wonder what exactly goes on in Rook's head.)”

- Since it just dropped this past week and I am incapable of shame: You Came Back, by yours truly. Rook has returned from the Fade, but Neve needs him to prove it. Part of the Getting Into Trouble Neverook series.

Note: NSFW

[basedonconjecture]

Ahahaha, I seemed to have inspired a few of you! Happy to have helped spread the Bellario agenda 🫡 (and adding this to my tbr thank you for tagging me! 🫶)

y’know, bellara x illario wasn’t even on my radar but she’s got a very bluestocking-spinster-with-a-hot-girl-hobby something about her to his reformed rakeness *taps chin* like they slot pretty easily into those historical romance archetypes….idk idk it’s growing on me i’M HAVING VISIONS

[ofcrowsanddragons]

Crow House Banter

From the wiki

Bellara: Lucanis, you work with your grandmother and cousin, right? So is a Crow house usually all family?

Lucanis: Not entirely but... yes? Most of a house's leaders will be family. Either by blood or by adoption.

Bellara: Most? But not everyone.

Lucanis: Houses recruit all the time. From armies or the trades. And we steal promising Crows from each other, too.

Lucanis: Stay with a house long enough, and you'll get the family name though.

Bellara: So you're like Dalish clans! But with murder.

Lucanis: "Assassination", please. We get paid. Murderers are hobbyists.

[im-on-fire-today]

Bellara: Please tell me you have more gossip professor!

Emmrich: Dear Bellara, are you looking for more inspiration for your series?

Bellara: Please, I'm stuck and can't figure out where to take the plot.

Emmrich: Well, if it can not be helped. I have some titillating tales that might interest you.

Lucanis: And people say the Crows are bad when it comes to gossiping.

[himluv]

Ok. So. If you haven't seen this post (where I have an existential crisis about stumbling into a rarepair) then you might not know that I am working on a sequel to my Rookanis fic, Say My Name (Say it Twice).

And, you might not know that it will involve Illario and Bellara working out their personal demons and eventually falling in love... I'm having a great time writing it. An absolute blast. There is one, teeny tiny, itsy-bitsy problem, however.

Illario and Bellara are both certified Yappers™ and anytime they are in scene together I CANNOT for the life of me get them to SHUT UP.

Just.... SHUT UP and have sex already! Good LORDT! This one isn't supposed to be a slow burn, you dummies! GAHHHHHHHHHH!

Anyway. I have seven chapters written. I keep waiting for the hyperfocus to fade, but the Dellamortes have me in a chokehold, sooooo. Here we are. I hope people will enjoy it, haha.
