Cullen (taking lyrium): I am bound to the Inquisition. I will serve until I am no longer needed.

Cullen: I always wanted to be a templar, to protect people. After Ferelden, I served out of fear… and because I was compelled. I thought if I removed the part that kept me chained, I would find my own purpose again. There are templars who have been through worse. Once your sacrifices are made, is there no end? Are you leashed until the day you die, or lyrium takes your mind away?

Cassandra: Mages have made their suffering known, but templars never have. They are bound to the Order, mind and soul, with someone always holding their lyrium leash. Cullen has a chance to break that leash, to prove to himself—and anyone who would follow suit—that it’s possible.

i see the words 'bound' 'chained' and 'leash' and black out and start barking

#dragon age inquisition #commander cullen #cullen rutherford #dragon age #dai #meredith stannard #my art #art #debuting my new awful inquisitor Whitney Trevelyan. designed in a lab (my mind) to cause maximum issues. half her deal is reminding culle #of a younger version of meredith <3 which is so very bad for him. TBH i dont think he would even tell her about the lyrium BUT who am i to #deny canon.. anyways she thinks him weak and heretic for leaving the order. fun for me.#bc she is a devout fanatical templar which reminds him of himself in kirkwall but now she has like power and an army. BUT she is gonna #fight corypheus and the venatori sooooo Ends and Means and all that #idk i feel like my mental vision for this was better than the execution for the metaphor. BUT i think i shaded the armor very well
