October 2nd 1721 saw the little known Battle of Coille Bhan.
This was more of a skirmish in real terms, but history recall it as a battle, to me the numbers involved make it less so. The way I look at it is that this was also an attempt by the Government of the, still quite new, Union, to impose some sort of rule to the Highland Clans, in this instance it can also go down as leading from an often overlooked Jacobite uprising in 1719, called The “Little Rising“.
The background was that government forces had failed to take the lands of Mackenzie of Seaforth. The taxes being collected by Mackenzie's factor, Donald Murchison were being sent to Mackenzie himself who was living in exile in France for his part in the '15 Jacobite uprising, after which his lands were forfeited to the crown. It was decided that a second attempt should be made to seize Mackenzie of Seaforth's estates.
This time 160 soldiers of Colonel Kirk's regiment left under the command of a Captain McNeil, who unlike their predecessors who had been ambushed in Glen Affric, McNeil took a longer but easier route from Inverness to Dingwall then onto Strath-Garve and Loch Carron.Mackenzie's force were led by Colonel Donald Murchison who had led the ambush at Glen Affric, and I bloody wish my spell check didn't keep trying to make me say Africa instead of Affric!!!
Anyway the Colonel marched his men up a mountain pass called Mam Attadale, a "gallant" relative, named Kenneth Murchison volunteered to attempt an ambush with a small party of 13 at Coille Bhan (White Wood), while the bulk of the party should remain where they were.
Captain McNeil with 18 men of his government force advanced on Kenneth Murchison's position. They received fire in which several of the government troops were wounded and one was killed. McNeil persisted in attacking his enemy and eventually he defeated them and Kenneth Murchison's men withdrew, as they were unable to resist any further, there is no mention of the Jacobite's losses.
The long and short of it is, although Captain McNeil had defeated this advance force, he soon heard of the larger group of Mackenzies waiting at Attadale under the command of Donald Murchison, unwilling to take on these men, who also held the high ground McNeil, himself wounded retreated and high-tailed it back to Inverness.
Kenneth Murchison quickly rejoined Colonel Donald on Mam Attadale, with the cheering intelligence that one salvo of thirteen guns had repelled the hundred and sixty red-coats. No further attempts were made on Mackenzie of Seaforth's lands.
This episode confirmed the view in the south that the Jacobite clans equated with banditry and disorder, but Donald Murchison was also a bold man, reading on, in the History of The Mackenzies he appeared in Edinburgh two years later with £200 in back rents, looking for someone to take it over to France, he was not so stupid as to make himself conspicuous and is said to have been wearing "the garb of a lowlander", he did however spend two weeks in the capital, and although he was a wanted man went unmolested during this time.
Mackenzie of Seaforth, also known as William dubh MacKenzie or Black MacKenzie, like may other Jacobites during earlier uprisings, was later pardoned and returned returned to Scotland in 1726, he died in 1740.
During the '45 uprising, such was the split across The Highlands one of his sons fought on the Hanoverian side in the campaign, whereas a large part of the Clan Mackenzie followed the chief's cousin George Mackenzie, 3rd Earl of Cromartie chose to fight for the Jacobite cause.
The pics shows moorland and Lochcarron, the expanse of land that Clan MacKenzie enjoyed as their own, and their clan crest with the motto Luceo Non Uro (I shine, not burn). MacCoinneach the Gaelic name for the clan means son of the fair bright one.

Good day, back to the beginning
Cycles never-ending, living on the outside
Living on the outside
We're going hungry and we're out of time

Yes drink up all that angst
lol the name of the file in procreate is ‘Evil RPE’s’
So I present:
Evil RPE’s
Idk the idea existed in my head and it seemed pretty cool
No text ver.
Sp ee dp ai nt :
To all that came to the bottom of the post:
There is a secret hidden in one of the 4 words. One of them tells you what its Henry is targeting/firing/whatever they are doing at. Figure out the target of that Henry, and reply/comment it. I’ll draw an aftermath if it is correct and I’ll reply if correct.
By the way, the target will make sense considering that Henry’s moral alignment. It will be someone he opposes in that timeline. Good luck.

I know, I know, pretty lazy art, but the editing process was pretty much hell to get through.

its funny that ciuying is pretty unambiguously my "best" inquisitor in terms of like, morality corresponding to net good outcomes for the world, when it's the guy who wants to be inquisitor the least. which both helps and hurts his decision-making in that ciuying does treat the role with appropriate gravity and is super conscientious about wielding the inquisition's power to help people practically. but it's also like. ciuying is a good person, but not politically-minded at all, and has a narrow worldview where its primary concern has always been its clan. and for a looong while ciuying is #coping with it all by believing that all this herald business is a necessary but brief diversion to fix one (1) problem and then it can just go back home and be normal and forget about the whole thing.
from its perspective the mage-templar war was kind of A Thing Humans Are Doing that would probably bleed collateral damage out onto elves as always, and it would say the circles seem fucked as an institution if asked directly, but what does it know or care, really? it's got no horse in this race. which works when you're a random dalish hunter in the free marches but when you are the inquisitor, whether you like it or not, trying to avoid acknowledging the power you have quickly turns into avoiding the responsibility that that power comes with. like buddy you already allied with the mages lol you are in this.
this isn't something ciuying confronts until he casually uses his power as inquisitor to get dorian back his birthright and dorian can't figure out how to react. causing ciuying to go ah. hmm. because if whatever this is with dorian is serious then that means ciuying can't just act like the inquisition is a weird chapter in his life that will soon be neatly closed and it can move on like nothing happened. and dorian is a politically-minded person who voluntarily left his homeland because he felt obligated to get directly involved, and ciuying admires that about him! so perhaps it does have to start caring about the orlesian civil war and the divine election.
#i do care about them but they are married and not divorced so the poasting isnt the same.#i know what they have going on its a loving relationship 🙄 wheres the psychological warfare around amputation#ciuying lavellan#might need to rework the whole clan lavellan war table situation in my head but (closes my eyes forever)

TCW Au Prologue Story Part 4/???
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Most voted option: Reactor.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ellie: Burt mind if I ask you something?
Burt: Sure miss Ellie, what is it?
Ellie: What happens if I sabotage the reactor of the airship?
Burt: Well basically no one has ever sabotaged the reactor of the airship, but if it ever happens we'll have at least three hours to leave the airship before it explodes.
Ellie: alright, everyone listen, I'm going to sabotage the reactor of the airship, once it's done we'll go to the escape pods of the airships as fast as we can! Understand?
Reginald: Yes Ellie.
RHM: Yea'
Sven: We'll be ready.
Megan: Let's do it properly, I don't want to lose any of my closest friends.
Ellie: Alright, here I go.
*Ellie sabotages the reactor and then a warning communication was heard*
"WARNING, CRITICAL DAMAGE TO CORE, PLEASE EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY"
Reginald: That's our cue! Everyone to the escape pods!
Carol: And do not separate from the group!
Nocciola (the witch): Yeah.
Bonnie: Alright!
Nicole: Let's get out of here!
Mercudi: I don't wanna die!
*Meanwhile in the cokpit*
"WARNING, CRITICAL DAMAGE TO CORE, PLEASE EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY"
Thomas: Oh no! Someone must has sabotage the reactor!
Geoffrey: The airship is gonna explode!
Henry: Let's go to the escape pods then! And fast! I am not leaving anyone here! Not today!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One hour later.
Everyone was running to the escape pods before the airship explodes, there was only one hour and a half left before the airship explodes, Ellie and her group were running as fast as they could, until they heard an help scream.
"Help!!"
Ellie: Huh? *Stops running*
"Someone please help me!!"
Reginald: Ellie what's wrong?
Ellie: I'm hearing someone calling for help.
"Somebody please help!! I'm injured and I can't move!!"
Nicole: Wait, you are right miss Ellie! But that voice...
Carol: It sounds like...
Nicole and Carol: Hat girl!!
Earrings: It sounds like she's in problem!
Nicole: We have to help her!
Burt: But there we only have one hour and a half to escape before the airship explodes!
Carol: Quit is Curtis! That's our little-sister-friend were talking about!
Nicole: Yeah! We can't leave her!
Nocciola (The witch): What shall we do Ellie?
Sven: Yeah! What are we gonna do Ellie?
Ellie: Hmn... (💭Leaving hat girl here would be very selfish of my part, and it could make me lose the only loyal friends I have, but there's not enough time to escape on time, what am I gonna do??)
Warning: You MUST choose WISELY in this one! Because this actions could alter the rest of the story.

I think I remember snippets and Sven and Ellie’s relationship in TCW from old animatics of the AU- but I was potentially wondering if we could get more details on it 🤭
You sure can OwO
In Toppat Civil Warfare, well….Reginald and Lefty die right off the bat, poor guys. Ellie is paranoid from being betrayed so much and traumatized at the sudden deaths of two people she had very conflicted emotions on….thankfully, Burt is able to help keep her stable.
Burt himself…..something happens to Burt. Take your guess. But he’s gone.
Ellie becomes more and more paranoid. She’s been betrayed so much….some Toppats believe Henry to be a better leader….a few old foes have returned to fight against her..
She’ll scare everyone into staying away from her…and make those who don’t PAY.
Sven ends up, in his attempts to be her advisor, fall into the same role he used to have….though with less tattling. Now, Ellie often has him kill people for her if she suspects them of being disloyal. Sven has nobody else….especially after Carol dies….though death is still always on his mind, so Radman still sticks around…and it isn’t like he doesn’t get to see some old friends too.
Ellie is maniacal, heartless, paranoid- the Suave she swore to destroy. Sven doesn’t feel that he has other options, and has forced himself to go numb so he can follow out her orders. He does try to stand up to her from time to time, but Ellie never listens- though she doesn’t seem to get angry at him, as she 100% trusts him. She’s a little obsessed with him, to be honest….creepy.
Oops i rambled more about other things than the initial question—
