Found this note in Dragon Age The Veilguard and it intrigued me... Any ideas who AQK might be? 🤔

[kakibot]

This post has a very narrow target audience, Lucanis romancers who chose the "I also love coffee!" option during the Treviso coffee date.

A big shoutout to everyone else who has baked the Nevarran Hazelnut Torte before me because they made me panic less when I reached the "why is this just a big ole lump" stage. 🖤

Letter from Josephine in DATV if the Inquisitor romanced her.

I missed her so much 🫠

[taashyvashedan]

Taash & Antoine Fawn Over Their Dwarven Halves -Takes place after the 'Something's Coming' Quest- Taash and Antoine would most definitely bond over their affection over their dwarven lovelies. If anything, Taash probably dreams about a shared life of chaotic mayhem alongside Harding, in the sweetest way possible.

Antoine and Evka are #relationshipgoals for everyone at the camp ...and literally everyone everywhere.

Antoine and Taash most definitely would continue to yammer off a list of small things that both annoy them, but they both also find insanely attractive. Dwarven women are fierce like that.

Given that Taash clearly knows about Harding's love of plants, Taash would definitely take Harding back for a night picnic, and if possible a whole lotta "nothing."

(note: this is just a headcanon, this is not canon banter in-game. It should be, but it isn't.)

CODEX ENTRY: THE HERO OF FERELDEN - DINAYA TABRIS

The Hero of Ferelden grew up in Denerim's impoverished elven alienage. A bitter clash with a Denerim noble during her wedding resulted in her facing arrest by the city guards. The Grey Warden Commander Duncan recruited Dinaya, saving her from a certain death sentence.

Rumors sprouted of her having entered into a romantic relationship with a former Chantry sister and Orlesian bard during the Fifth Blight, though these rumors remain unconfirmed.

After defeating the Archdemon and ending the Fifth Blight, Dinaya took up the mantle of Warden - Commander of Ferelden. She began the task of rebuilding the order in Ferelden until her disappearance several years later.

Inquisition agents later uncovered that she had left to travel west in search for a cure to the Calling.

Lucanis's Logbook, 5

toes wiggle when he drinks the brew a small shade and a wounded spirit sitting there is STILL we are still

Drawn below is a decagonal diagram of perfectly even, intersecting geometric lines. Additional lines extend past the central diagram and reach the edges of the page.

there is an INFINITE there is a SHELTER there is a STORM outside the center

The handwriting abruptly alters:

Spite says he went nowhere and it has only been an hour or two. His measurement of time seem more accurate than the others here. So, to resume...

Dragon Age : The Veilguard — Codex Entry

Miscellaneous — Communal Notes on the Lighthouse

Thank you for your notes, Bellara. You’ve discovered fascinating things about these artifacts. —Emmrich

Thanks, Professor! I wish I knew more about the Lighthouse itself. The ancient elves crafted a lot of places right inside the Fade, but this one’s so calm. You really think it “likes” company? —Bellara

Yes, from the way the esthetic flows bends to the pulse of this place. The Lighthouse is shielding us from the stronger currents. Without it, we’d attract dangerous company in the Fade. —Emmrich

Did Solas build this place himself? How old is it? So many mysteries! —Bellara

Speaking of which, wherever did this stain come from? —Emmrich

Sorry! Coffee spilled when an artifact went off. —Bellara

Let us begin a fresh page. —Emmrich

Codex entry: Solas (2/2)

"Inquisitor,

Despite my efforts, I have been unable to locate Solas. From the site of your battle with Corypheus, he was last seen headed west, still distraught over the destruction of the orb Corypheus carried. From there he disappeared, evading my people so easily and so completely that I am forced to wonder how much he knew about them.

When Solas initially approached the Inquisition and offered aid, I questioned him extensively about his background and history. He was evasive, but he did give the name of the village where he grew up, noting that it was small, unlikely to appear on any map.

I hate loose ends, so I kept a few of my agents searching, to verify his story. They recently located the village… or what remains of it. It is a ruin, as it has been for centuries, its name preserved only in degraded form in Ancient Tevinter mysteries. Whoever Solas truly is, wherever he came from, he has deceived us from the very start.

I apologize for not investigating this more thoroughly while Solas was here. He was clearly helping us, and other matters were of greater urgency, but it was an oversight nevertheless, given how little he shared with us. It is not clear what his plans are, if any, but I will continue to search.

Leliana"

An update on Sten in Dragon Age The Veilguard 💔 Every subsequent game, I hoped to see him again, but it never happened 😔 What do you think of his fate?

GUYS OM IM SCRAMING

[darkling-glory]

The Veilguard codex entry for an Inquisitor who romanced Blackwall/Thom Ranier I just want them to settle down in a little house with every wall painted a different color! (No carnations, though).

- A Short Letter Addressed To Lace -

A short missive written to the dwarven scout. I like to headcanon Harding and Taash write to each other-- even if their excursions with Rook are short and they'll be back to the Lighthouse in no time.

---

Finally trying my hand at some fan codex to support some fanfiction ideas I have in the works. This is me basically brushing off years of dusty writing fingers.

I seriously haven't done this type of thing since I was in my early 20's, but it's nice to have this spark ignited again. I've met so many great creatives and DA fans who have been nothing but welcoming and supportive in this.

Here's to self-indulgent posts for my new favorite ship. You're welcome and don't say I didn't warn you.

P.S. plz send me prompts ideas and I'll do my best to write them. I need inspo.

A Letter Dated Six Months Ago [COMPLETE]

If Rook is an Antivan Crow:

Idiot:

I hope you're reading this. If the trail really has led you to Tevinter, it'll be harder to get messages through. The Antaam in Antiva are prickly about anything to do with our neighboring kingdom.

Back home, things have cooled, but they are not forgotten. Killing all those Antaam may have felt righteous in the moment, but the Talons are still complaining that your actions ruined weeks of setting up a larger, more effective strike.

I am one of those Talons still complaining. Consider this trip with Varric a contract. Crows don't fail contracts, especially Crows from House de Riva who may need to improve their judgment. But there is more at stake than honor. Whatever this Solas is up to needs to be stopped. I've seen enough of his handiwork to know that.

Don't get careless out there. Don't fail, and don't get yourself killed, or I will come after you in the Fade myself.

Viago

If Rook is a Grey Warden:

Warden [surname],

If our calculations are correct―and none of us have gone astray―this letter should be at the inn where you and Varric are to meet Scout Harding. As with Varric, we worked with her before. She's a good scout and a good shot. We think you'll like her. Please tell her we say hello!

Anyway, to the point! It's probably best you've gone to work with Varric a while. Our superiors in the Wardens can't deny that the village is safe and the darkspawn stopped. But they are still not especially pleased with you. Or your methods. Or the people who helped with your plan. Evka and I have been given a somewhat remote assignment that no one else wanted. But we are no strangers to that! We've enclosed a list of addresses where you are most likely to reach us for the next few months. Should you need.

Finally, do not feel you are in exile. We know something of what Varric is after. When the world needs protection from malevolent forces―that's what Grey Wardens do! You're in the right place.

Be vigilant and stay safe.

Your Friends, Antoine and Evka

If Rook is a Mourn Watcher:

Watcher [surname]:

Thank you for the latest dispatch concerning your venture with Master Varric Tethras. Given that you've spent much of your life in the Grand Necropolis, traveling further north must be a stimulating prospect. And you will be relieved, no doubt, to hear that the crypts have been silent since your departure. Some of the other Watchers continue to censure your methods during the War of the Banners, but I will work to ensure that they reconsider while you are away.

Master Tethras's claims that this "Solas" is an elven god bear witnessing. Even if Solas is merely a renegade mage using spirits for dire purposes, that alone is call for a Watcher to oppose him.

Vorgoth and I wish you fine luck on your journey. Remember: even outside Nevarra, the dead are ever ready with their supernal aid.

Watcher Myrna, Keeper of the Seals

If Rook is a Shadow Dragon:

[surname]:

Good to hear from you. I hope the North is treating you well, even if your quarry remains elusive.

Things here in Minrathous go about as well as expected. Venatori presence continues to grow, the result of an obscene amount of gold being funneled into the cult by sympathetic magisters. Some of the Shadow Dragons have had run-ins with some of them, particularly the ones seeking revenge for your shutting down of their slaver ring in Nessus.

But don't trouble yourself. This is nothing we can't handle. For now, focus on your work with Varric. A strong alliance with someone with ties to the Inquisition and Kirkwall can only benefit the Shadows and the people we serve.

Bring the light, and good luck, Viper

If Rook is a Veil Jumper:

[surname],

Strife has finally given up sending teams out to rediscover the route that was lost. Without the magic in the map, the paths will not open, and the map is gone. I know it was difficult for him to make the final decision. You could see the angry vein in his forehead for days after.

Now maybe he can start to move past it. Most of the others have already. But, of course, as the leader of that mission, he views your defiance, and the outcome that resulted, as something of a personal failure. We will give him time. You being away is a blessing, and we all hope that your work with Varric Tethras is going well.

You will be glad to hear that some of the younger Veil Jumpers are quite excited about you being on the trail of the Dread Wolf himself. You must regale them upon your return.

Oct 28 - Favourite Inquisition lore/codex entry

I knew the answer to this prompt from the beginning of October. Arboreal Fort from Jaws of Hakkon DLC. Let me give you the idea:

Flatten the area? —Cullen Of course the commander suggests hitting the hills until they forget they're hills. —L We could look into getting the soldiers to cut steps into the cliffs or construct structures with some form of verticality. Scaffolding, perhaps? —Josephine I was joking. Meanwhile, have you threatened to cut out anyone's tongue today? —Cullen Thinking about it right now. —L

We rarely see the silly chats of our advisors, they're all composed, wise and serious. Meanwhile they actually are just 30-year-old traumatized people trying to make sense of everything going around (like the Inquisitor and the companions, no matter what age they are). And to see them making fun of each other in a friendly banter is brilliant. I like the Wicked Grace scene as the next DAI fan, but here we see them in a familiar environment and can catch a glimpse of what's really going on in the War room.

I'm myself a traumatized 30-something-year old person, who likes being silly, so I relate to them really strong.
