“Dearest Mi’Var,

As you may suspect, the contents of this correspondence must remain of the utmost secrecy. I shall get straight to the point. In response to your inquiry: it is true. I was of Clan Sabrae, and I was Ethlas Mahariel.

I have spent many seasons wondering if we would ever connect again. I have spent just as many wondering what I might say to you if we ever did. I don’t think there are words enough to explain my choices, nor enough to convey my deepest apologies.

I wish I could tell you that the secrecy of my identity was a selfless one. That it was a sacrifice for the Clan’s safety. That’s what I told myself in the beginning. In truth, I was afraid. Afraid of facing the Clan again. I failed our Keeper once; I scarce thought she would wish to hear from me again. Yet in doing so, I failed you twice. And for this I apologize. I can’t imagine the grief you must have felt.

I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me, but I shan’t expect it.

Enclosed, you will find a relic of our people. It is an Elvhen sending stone, created to connect two souls across space. If I may make one request of you, I ask you to please use it. I wish to hear your voice again... I miss you terribly.

May June’s fire keep your blade ever sharp, Ethlas Atheranion Mahariel”

— A letter from Warden-Commander Elias to Inquisitor Brielle Lavellan

[wyvern-ocs]

Stars Warden: My canon has three Wardens. So there’s literally a constellation of them.

Moon Hawke: Cian is emotional and sensitive. He gives off a lot of light, but he doesn’t drown out the sky.

Sun Inquisitor: Brielle is sooooo sun. When I think of her, I think of sunflowers, honey, sunshine, and joy.

I just had a thought. In your canon worldstate, who fills what part of the sun-moon-stars character types?

Also please give me explanations in the tags i'm nosy 😳

It's Dragon-Age-O-Ween! Here are my girls from the first three games, River Tabris, Brielle Hawke, and Ashiala Lavellan!

I was tagged by @howetrash to do this picrew of my Dragon Age OCs. Let's go.

Warden Commander Brielle Mahariel. Dalish dual-wield rogue, non-canon romance. Inner Circle is Morrigan, Leliana, and Loghain. Isolde and Connor survived, peace between Dalish and werewolves, and Bhelen is king with the anvil destroyed. Solo Queen Anora & recruited Loghain. Dark Ritual performed and archdemon killed. Disappeared as soon as Amaranthine was dealt with and hasn't been seen since, and that's on purpose.

Champion Lilith Hawke. Purple personality, elemental/blood mage. Non-canon romance. Inner Circle is Merrill, Isabela, and Varric. Carver is a Warden. Sided with the mages at the end. Also disappeared after both II & Inquisition.

Inquisitor Artemis Lavellan. Dalish rogue archer, Josephine romance. Inner Circle is Josie, Leliana, Blackwall, Varric, and Solas. Sided with the mages, left the warden in the Fade, Briala rules through Gaspard, and Morrigan drank from the well. Disbanded the Inquisition and vowed to save Solas.

Rook Lotus Aldwir. Dalish Veil Jumper mage, likely focusing on the Death Caller specialization. Probably purple personality. Definitely Emmrich romance. Inner Circle to be determined, but it's looking like Emmrich and Bellara so far. As far as looks go, she's kind of a mashup of Lilith, Artemis, and my other oc, Moria, partially to actually live my Hawke/Orsino pairing, and to give Solas a heart attack when she reminds him of Artemis and Moria, but she'll definitely end up a character of her own that stands out from the rest.

@triaelf9 asked me some questions about my inquisitor, Brielle Lavellan, so here we go!

If your Inquisitor could go anywhere in all of Thedas, where would they go?

Depends on when you ask her, lol. Before Trespasser? Rivain. After the events of JoH, she wanted see another culture that accepts spirits, maybe speak to a seer or two. After Trespasser, she’d tell you a cabin in the woods, lol.  She’s pretty much had her fill of travelling and would much rather settle down and relax.

What is their least favorite enemy to fight?

Red Templar Shadows. She had a near fatal encounter with one in the Emerald Graves that left her bed ridden for nearly a month and in fear of red lyrium of corruption. Plus, the ability to repress magic has always made her wary of fighting templars - at least until she gets more weapon training whilst getting her knight enchanter specialization done.

When your Inquisitor is feeling down, how do they perk themselves up, or how do their friends help them out?

Honestly, Bri would just want some peace and quiet. A moment to re-center. Preferably with a cup of tea. So if she’s at Skyhold? Typically, Cullen would meet her in her room with a cup of her favourite tea and they’d spend the evening in quiet solitude. On the road, her companions would do the same thing, except around the fire. 

I tag @river-bird with the following questions about Niamh!

What is their favourite weapon?

If Varric gave them a nickname, what would it be? 

Someone is encroaching on their love interest. how do they respond?

Questions taken from here.

[cherrypinkink]

Finally got around to making a character base for my lavellan! Hopefully I should have some time to make some outfit lineups soon!

[wyvernscales]

Symbols I associate with ocs - Worldstate: The Maker’s (un)Chosen

Talani Brosca: hands, bruises, daggers, nail marks/scratches, keys, crates/barrels

Feja Aeducan: pearls, anything art deco, sequins, gold, perfume bottles

Elias Mahariel: fire, the color green, puddles, tall grass, pine trees

Cian Hawke: the sea, the color blue, oil paintings, the sky, round staircases

Brielle Lavellan: leather, sunflowers, honey, the color yellow, bees, the sun

Elara Lavellan: old books, bundles of drying herbs, quills, feathers, botanical drawings

[wyvernscales]

YK, I think Elias probably does manage to get in contact with Skyhold because his little sister is the Inquisitor and his ex-wife (does faking your death void out a marriage?) and daughter go there too.

Even though the Inquisition manages to send a letter to the Heroes of Ferelden, Elias probably wouldn’t recognize Brielle’s name anyway. The last time he saw her, she still went by Mi’var Mahariel of Clan Sabrae instead of Brielle Lavellan. Maybe he uses a phrase that her brother used to use all the time and she gets curious. Warden Elias has always been a mysterious one. Everyone knows he was a Dalish mage, but his surname and clan name were always a secret. She started asking questions to Leliana and Morrigan, who both dodged her questions. 

So she just decided to write a letter. One simple question: “are you Ethlas Mahariel?” Signed Inquisitor Mi’var Atheraniel Mahariel of Clan Lavellan.

She got no response. Until one day a Warden appeared at Skyhold with a wooden box meant for the Inquisitor. Inside was a palm-sized rock that Elara identified as an Elvhen sending stone and a letter.

That’s probably a hell of a conversation I’m not emotionally equipped to handle tho.

[wyvernscales]

Inviting myself to the party:

Tessa Adaar: Do as you wish—but do not do it for others. I am many things, but I will not be the product of expectations.

Rynn Cadash: Never be afraid to make your own choices. In the end, they’re all you will have left behind.

Brielle Lavellan: A great way to get someone to leave you alone is to just throw something at ‘em. The harder to clean, the better. They might think you’re being rude, but they’ll leave you alone.

Talani Brosca: Your past doesn’t have to be your future.

Let’s play a game: Advice from your OC’s

Tagged by- @angrykittybarbarian

Rules: list one piece of advice your OC’s would give and tag 5 people (if they want to play!)

I never have been tagged in one of these oc question type of things, and I’m happy about being tagged :)

I also have more ocs than this but I just picked the ones who are the most developed. 

Kalara Tabris:  “Advice? Don’t ever care about how others think of you. Do what you want, aim to achieve what you want and if others don’t approve. fuck them.”

Las’Eth Maherial: “Your happiness or state of mind should never come second to anything. It is important and you should never neglect it.”

Zera Aeducan: “You don’t have to get along with your family or be what they want. Your path is yours to take and if your family doesn’t like it, well they can deal with it. You do not have to be tied down to what they want or to their name.”

Avella Hawke: “Never feel as if you have to end up in relationship. You aren’t broken or strange if you don’t ever want a relationship, it is fine and you should never feel you have to be in one. Maker knows I could have used that advice years ago,”

Elias Hawke: “You aren’t wrong just because you dare to speak out about something and actively work to change them. After all, just because that is how it works does not mean it right.”

Nyssaila Lavellan: “Never allow anyone to convince you that what you believe in is wrong, that you’re foolish for believing it.”

Auryon Lavellan:  “Do not expect that you will suddenly figure out everything as you get older. It really isn’t that easy, trust me. The best you can do is work on it in the current and not expect it to be something you’ll understand how to do one year in the future or ten.”

Isshissra Adaar: “Never let yourself be affected by insults spewed by prejudice. Learning to ignore it will prove to be beneficial.”

Ragna Shepard: “Learn how to make decisions and learn how to stand behind them when others doubt your decision was right.”

Junta Ryder: “There is no reason to believe that when you get older that you must lose your sense of adventure or excitement. You’re never too old to have fun just exploring or to do something without really thinking it through, there’s fun to be found in impulsiveness.”

Vriha t’Valdan: “Never be ashamed of being confident, being proud of what you have achieved. You are not arrogant for knowing what you’re capable, for showing pride in what you have done and sharing your achievements. It is something you should relish in, not be shameful of.”

Tagging: Since I am not actually sure of other people who have ocs, I can’t exactly tag people, so there’s that. But if anyone sees this and wants to do it and they haven’t been tagged yet, then well I guess I tag you to do it :)

The Nightmare’s Taunts

Brielle Lavellan: “You can’t save everyone. In fact, you’re too weak to save anyone. Not even yourself”

 Fearlings: Bears

Greatest Fear: Dependence

Tessa Adaar: “Shouldn’t your mouth be sewn shut, you dangerous thing? Whether Templars of Arvaarads, you need a tighter leash.” 

Fearlings: Arvaarads 

Greatest Fear: Confinement

Rynn Cadash: “Mommy isn’t here to save you now, is she? How’s your new found independence treating you?”  

Fearlings: Carta enforcers

Greatest Fear: Powerlessness
