── Dymitr Amell, Battle of Denerim, 9:31 Dragon ──
"When I was sixteen, I won a great victory. I felt in that moment I would live to be a hundred. Now I know I shall not see thirty." - King Baldwin IV, Kingdom of Heaven (2005)
#That quote always strikes me as so relatable to the origins warden - especially an ultimate sacrifice warden.#I worked very hard on this & it's the first time I've drawn my canon character.#I hope you all like this piece as much as I do.#dao#dragon age origins#dragon age#hero of ferelden#hof#dragon age: origins#amell#warden amell#art#my art#digital art#circle mage#circle mage origin#arcane warrior#blood mage#blood magic#archdemon#battle of denerim

Btw if "Thedas" is just "The DA s(etting)", i fully believe that "Surana" comes almost as directly from "Surname" and they just altered the end to make it sound more like a name
#dragon age#origins#dao#warden surana#circle mage origin#i don't think i've seen anyone else say it yet but we're all thinking it right?

If he wasn't the "Hero" of Ferelden, I think that Mathalin Surana would be considered a villain easily. I think that his campaign as the Warden can be easily called Dragon Age: Villain Origins, as he bids for the chancellorship of Ferelden, a country which he has no love for, as an Orlesian.
Take an elf with a Napoleon complex [technically, he is 5' 9" which was the same height that Napoleon had, and a certain painter from Austria], and have him write about his 'my struggle' while in the prison that is a Mage circle in most of Thedas, and give him the chance to grab power for himself.
The next step is to give him a position in an organization where morality is thrown out the window in the name of having to stop a blight, and you've got a villain origin story. He's an ends justify the means sort of person, just as Anders is.
Mathalin sides with Branka in the Deep Roads, he puts Bhaelen on the throne in Orzammar, he lets Avernus continue his experiments without ethical boundaries just as he was before. Not only that, but he recruits Loghain Mac Tir into the Grey Wardens. Furthermore, he sides with the Architect in Awakening, but at least he is beautiful.
The cherry on top, is that he finds blood magic to be not only a-okay to use, but he believes that it is only feared due to the sensibilities of Chantry folk. His views on necromancy are more or less the same.

Jowan walked so that Morrigan/Anders/Solas and all the sneaky mages assholes of Thedas ( i love them all so much ) could RUN
#oh no. they're gonna make you tranquil. that would be. not cool.#i hate the way jowan is written sometimes because his relationship with amell/surana seems so cold#like all the other origins have someone close you're afraid to loose#i get that in the circle relationships are weird but like why are the dialogues so DRY#the only person that seem to give a shit about you it's cullen the cop and only if he wants to fuck you#dragon age#dragon age origins#warden amell#warden surana#jowan dragon age#circle mage origin

Some doodles of Leticia, one of my wardens. She's Sebastian older sister (by about 7 or 8 years) who was was sent to the circle when he was still a baby. He grew up thinking that she died and was never told differently.
Leticia, on the other hand, was not privy to this cover up and believed that she may one day be reunited with her family and that that they still loved and missed her. It would only be many years after their murder that she finally learned the truth.
Also, in my canon she was actually an enchanter. To a degree she enjoyed her life in the Circle, if only for the opportunity to learn and her privilege to guide other mages to accept and appreciate their magic, despite the world around them insisting it was a curse. She was not entirely sad to leave though.

no more romance. romance is canceled. tell me about your warden/hawke/inquisitor's best friend and any info you want to add about their dynamic 🖐
#and by “romance is canceled” i mean that i have been writing so much angsty romance lately that i need something to balance it out#dragon age#dragon age origins#dragon age: origins#dao#dragon age 2#da2#dragon age inquisiton#dai#dragon age: inquisition#hero of ferelden#champion of kirkwall#the inquisitor#inquisitor#i have way too many ocs to do this with so i'll go with kinera#he was close with his entire companion group (minus wynne and oghren) during the fifth blight#but he was especially close with sten and morrigan. sten kind of accidentally cracked kinera's egg and#kinera was fascinated by morrigan because shes a mage outside of the circle#and in dai kinera was initally close with solas– until it really kicked in how much solas disliked the dalish and how much#he viewed kinera as being an “exception” when kinera already felt like an outcast due to mostly growing up outside of a clan bc he was take#to a circle.#healing sessions for the anchor got Really tense after that. and then morrigan showed up and kinera was#just yippie yippie!! because very briefly he had alistair leliana and morrigan all back together again

Wynne being named after Langwynne in Bannorn and Anders from the Anderfells has me emotional in a certain sort of way because these mages are taken away so young, given a name of a place they can never remember, a home they never had and its almost cruel mocking that their identity is taken from them and then given back as their most identifiable feature.

a deep blood moon, a starless night
dark enough to see the light
#something something he has the title of prince yet is treated like a commoner#callum holds a prestigious ranking due to his mother's marriage yet he is not the hier to the throne#im sure canonically he literally cannot care less specifically#but i like to think it factors into his struggles with finding himself#and his purpose in the world#this is a “we love ezran” household#but i cant help feeling callum has the vibes of a middle child despite being the oldest#while ezran is both oldest and youngest. burden of the crown yet still a child#the title of high mage gives callum his own kind of recognition#but it doesn't separate him from the title of prince#he's the first human mage to do primal magic yet only his inner circle recognizes how big of a feat that is#something something having a strong mind and heart with an untapped thirst for knowledge#everyone forgets about him so it gives him time to research all he needs#this was originally inspired by the vibes of “red moon” by will wood#puts my callum would listen to will wood if he existed in xadia badge#probs ¡Akido! (Neurotic / Erotic)#Williard!#Against the Kitchen Floor#and White Noise#in case i make it is a callum album overall tbh#late night ramblings#tdp#callum tdp#tdp fanart#the dragon prince fanart#the dragon prince callum fanart#the dragon prince#my fanart#my art#bobasalt

Aww, my precious loser boy who needs a hug 🥺🥺
I love his design, it's both like an improved version of the game, but it also brings some new vibe. I appreciate the fact we collectively agree this man can't shave properly and also wavy hair rocks!

Out of all four of what I consider my canon playthroughs of Dragon Age, there is only one heterosexual romance, and that one is between a repressed bisexual witch of the wilds and a confidently bisexual blood mage who definitely could and should be trusted to end Fifth Blight.
With that being said, I headcanon that Morrigan gave him permission to sleep with Loghain as well, so long as he sleeps with no other women than her. With that said, he told Morrigan just as well that he wouldn't hold her back from other women so long as he was her only man.
While Morrigan and Mathalin spent some years together raising their son after the Blight, when Morrigan got her position in the court of Empress Celene and when Mathalin went on a search for a cure for the Calling. He admired Avernus and thus spared him, and let him continue his research without ethical boundaries.
Loghain turned into an awkward godfather figure of sorts who'd visit their family occasionally, and actually they were far more functional than one would have thought them to be. I personally like to think that they had one more child together after Inquisition.
However, he left that choice entirely Morrigan's because like her, he was happy with them just having Kieran. His relationship with Alistair never got any better, and the resentment that the King of Ferelden held for his shadow chancellor and one time fellow Warden never mellowed.

I understand Loghain sympathizers I really do but I just can’t deny Alistair his justice. He’s my baby girl and if he wants to commit legalized murder in a dual I’m going to let him and if he wants me to do it I’m going to do it.
#am I replaying doa immediately instead of moving on to the next games so that I can finish before the new one#yes maybe#I will add though that while his retreat does make logical sense he did betray the son of his closest friend and the woman he loved#not to mention the whole slavery thing#also poisoning the Al and fucking with the circle#my Surana was also ready to fucking kill him for what he did to the elves and the mages#dragon age origins#doa#alistair theirin#loghain mac tir#alistair x surana#dragon age
