iconic that rica of all people managed to get into a relationship with bhelen. one that, by all accounts, is very loving. perhaps the sweetest character in the entire franchise getting with everyone's favorite (?) bitch bastard of a guy, real what if the irredeemable villain's gaze softened when he looked at me energy. it's like if macchiavelli's the prince and a wattpad fanfiction about getting sold to one direction by your mom were kissing with tongue

Also just everything about the aeducans is so messy and nuanced. It's Advanced Cousland in that you get betrayed except you dont see it coming at all because the guy doing it is your sweet little brother who you used to play games and have food fights and chase nugs and grieve your mother with. Not some random family friend with 'Villain' written on his forehead. It's your baby brother. You know. The one you can't ever see grown up. The one whose eyes somewhere along the line went from big and wondrous and wanting to be just like you, to grown up and hungry. And he kills trian. Oh my god he kills the one you looked at like that.

It's like. Okay we know he must have found out how Endrin got the throne right?? Because he does the exact same thing Endrin did. Your dad made the blueprint. I have to wonder if like. bhelen actively hated you all then. when did he find out?? when did he lose his innocence?? when did his beard metaphorically grow in?? Bhelen i need to pickle your brain

the acceptance of polyamory for producing heirs in orzammar opens up so many questions, like “were these three pitted against each other from birth by their mothers who were competing consorts of the king, or are they in fact just Like That”

[dragonologist-phd]

Endrin is old, however, and the time has come for one of his children to make their move: they will prove their worth in replacing their father, or fall to treachery from within their own family. The halls of Orzammar run deep, they say, but the blood runs deeper.

Presenting the Aeducan family tree! 👑

I actually put a lot of thought into this so I'm gonna sum up under a cut, lol

King Endrin Aeducan, Ninth of his House: What it says on the tin. As Bhelen mentioned, he was actually a second son, and took the kingship in... less than entirely honest ways; nevertheless, his rule is largely uneventful, but for the worsening of differences between the different castes. He has many children of many mothers, but only three were properly risen - and of them, his 'only' daughter is the favourite.

Lady Tasleen Saelac, The Iron Queen: Endrin's first wife, mother of Trian. She was the Commander of Orzammar's forces, and an extremely difficult-to-please person in general; she expected nothing but perfection from her son and troops alike. She would eventually die during a Deep Roads excursion, sending back only one survivor to relay the message of her party's demise because, as quoted, "he did not deserve the honor of such a death". One of her cousins is Gorim's father.

Lady Nysmila Ivo, Jewel of Orzammar: Said to be one of the most beautiful women that ever lived in the underground. It's unclear whether Endrin truly loved her, she was incredibly politically savvy, or a combination thereof, but she was the only other woman Endrin married - thus legitimizing her children by him; a fairly Herculean task, given just how many bastards he sired. One day, she simply disappeared; despite every effort to find her, it's unknown whether she was abducted, killed... or vanished of her own accord. Her absence remains strongly felt within the palace walls and throughout.

Prince Trian Aeducan, The Crown Prince: His position as heir to the throne is a given, or so he believes; he has waited a very long time to finally be given his proper dues. Despite his heritage, however, he's not a particularly strong warrior; he just knows how to browbeat people into doing what he wants, and his position leaves little room for argument.

Princess Alana Aeducan, The Golden Lady: Her mother's ambition and her father's preference have led Alana to a fairly cushioned, comfortable life; that said, she loves the thrill of the fight, and is both the strongest and fastest of her siblings - even if it's with daggers rather than a sword or shield. She wears the tattoos of Commander, a role bequeathed to her against Trian's wishes, and she is by far the most popular royal between the three... a fact both of her brothers find incredibly difficult to stomach.

Prince Bhelen Aeducan, Lord of Secrets - Being neither the heir or the spare, Bhelen was largely left to his own devices as a child, especially because he was still very young when Nysmila went missing; her disappearance, however, became the catalyst that would lead to his becoming the most knowledgeable spymaster in Orzammar. He puts on a friendly face, for the most part, but what he has learned from his family history is that the ends always justify the means.

Thinking about the implications of Aeducan killing Loghain after making Bhelen king.

Like you put aside a betrayal that was much deeper, much more personal- because it was the better choice and you know it. Harrowmont was not strong enough to carry the weight of the city, he was not strong enough even to hold you up when you fell- if you care for Orzammar at all you have to look past what had happened accept that the one who has a chance to secure it's future is also the one who was willing to stab you in the back.

And then Bhelen kills Harrowmont because he can't let him walk away- it is what a kind forgiving ruler would do and in this city it would be a mistake.

And then in the Landsmeet you stand victorious before another man who betrayed you- and maybe because this time you can, maybe because you can hear Alistair demanding justice and you know he would never forgive you otherwise- or maybe because in this moment you feel much closer to Bhelen then Loghain ever was- which in turn makes him your Harrowmont... and you deal the final blow.

my aeducan making herself comfy as alistair's mistress, marrying him to anora (and wooing her because let's be real anora is a CATCH and my lady aeducan is nothing if not a gentleman)

she's a busy woman with a summer home fortress in amaranthine, she's a living god among dwarves and her little brother who tried to fuck her over?? owes her his throne asfjfgkfl;; unstoppable.

Another insomnia meme.

Why do I make only dwarf noble memes now? Well I don't know either.

Update: BECAUSE DWARVES ARE SO F****** UNDERRATED IN DRAGON AGE IN GENERAL AND THEY ALSO DESERVE SOME LOVE.

Family tragedy <3

princes trian and bhelen and princess myala of house aeducan, ages 16, 10, and 12 respectively

2 years later, immediately before a major feast myala chopped off her braids and went dressed in bhelen's clothes, although they stopped having portraits done around that time

Warden Aeducan walking into Bhelen's quarters three(3) months after he had them framed and exiled:

[vigilskeep]

Bhelen has such Peter the Great energy. There’s this one painting by Nikolai Nevrev of Peter showing off his Western European dress to his horrified mother and tutor. That’s Bhelen in his surfacer silks to me

LMAO? this one?
