Happy Dragon Age Day!

If you don't already know, Dragon Age is my favorite game series, so today I wanted to make a special doll to reveal! Leliana is featured in all 3 games so I knew I'd be tackling her eventually! This is a prototype, so her look will change a little between now and her next make, but overall I'm pretty happy with how she came out!

And that means that now I have a complete set of Inquisition Advisors!

*Pulls up chair* here is the deal

I don’t think the advisor companion line up is going to be as clear cut as it has been

We have the fewest number of *New.* companions this time round… which would make sense if it is because you have to create like a roster who’s who line up of characters to kick elven god ass

Also this is going to depend on if this is the final game in the dragon age series as some have been saying or not

Our Inquisitor whether you like it or not I think will probably join really early on for a number of reasons. The biggest one being other than the elven gods

The main reason being other than the elven gods who is the closest Mortal to that kind of status? Maybe the one character who is literally considered a prophet (Like Andraste was considered a prophet at first.)

That and companions from each of the old games are going to have skills and input we need depending on origin choices and choices in game (Which might also explain more of why the game took as long as it did to make.)

Here are my thoughts:

•Varric for obvious reasons

•Solas for obvious reasons

•Mythaligan?

Those are the starters for the advisor line up.

The Recruited Advisors Im betting are as follows

•Lavellan

•Dorian His knowledge of Tevinter expertise on Magic and understanding of Necromancy are all going to be extremely useful to a protag from any origin

•Maevaris (If you don’t know her look her up.)

Maevaris will more than likely also have a big part given her alliances with Dorian,the Inquisitor, Alistair,and Varric. Her father’s death is a bit of lore that would raise the stakes and risk in the imperium. She also is brilliant at magic,diplomacy and political navigation.

Here me out on these:

•Merrill other than an elven Lavellan which mortal would have the deepest connection to the elven lore and gods as well as ways we have seen to cleanse blighted objects. Also her pro blood-magic views would offer one hell of a contrast to Solas’s. As well as Blood Magic may not be an option in terms or cleansing and curing blighted.

•Fenris I think could play a big part not for the reasons you think but for the following reasons. One Fenris is the elf with the closest thing towards ancient Vallaslin seeing how Ghilhanain and Elgarnan interact with that could be very interesting

That and Fenris had lyrium literally infused into his body whatever is going on with the waking of the sentinels and the way lyrium already plays a key part (Lyrium dagger, Lyrium to boost magic, Lyrium as ancient Vallaslin, the way Magic is much more prevalent and we are in Tevinter he is going to want to free slaves we have seen as much in the comics

Also Fen like Fen -Harel

His name means little wolf and the dynamic between him Solas the gods and Tevinter is too rich to just ignore.

•Anders Anders is going to have invaluable information that can help Lucanis sure but also Anders experience with spirits and the fade will prove needed in a world where the veil is becoming thinner and thinner and demons are becoming more paramount

•Miriam with her connections to Tevinter, her past as somebody enslaved ,her expertise on powerful relics and the fact she is an elf that would have to recon with the Gods being real and being slaver blight causing dicks

For the expansion of Dwarven lore my bets are on the following characters returning in some capacity as they have the biggest stakes in Dwarves getting magic it would just be a little weird if they weren’t in it.

•Dagna

•Sandal

Origin and choice specific Cameos

•Grey Warden Alistair

•Grey Warden Blackwall

•Carver/Bethany (Either mentioned or cameo.)

Antivan Crows:

•Zevran Given his rouge status and efforts to reform the crows as somebody from an ex Talon house he may have just the answers Lucanis and the others need to balance the traditions of the crows with a more ethical and respectful approach

Add onto that Zevran is elvish and will have to recon with the effects of wait hold up the gods are real and did what?as well as you are crows 👁️👄👁️

•Josephine if The De Riva’s are high up in status they would more than likely know her if not Catterina Lucanis and the crows certainly will

Lords of fortune:

•Isabella (She is kind of our only in game character tie to lords of fortune at the moment would be kinda weird if she didn’t show up with that origin.)

Mournwatch:

•Cassandra- We don’t have many if any direct ties to mourn watch but we do have ties to the Pentaghasts who would be pretty high up in Nevarra and mourn watch society.

That and it is likely Cassandra will show up in the capacity of Divine Victoria if you chose that.

There are more but it is first thing in the morning for me will discuss later

so do we think the advisor lineup is solas/ morrigan/ varric/ inquisitor this time around, or

[ndostairlyrium]

I think it would be rad if they met again under better circumstances <3 but I'm sure they have reunions yearly somewhere different every time to play canasta and gossip

commentary on the inqusitor's anchor in trespasser from vivienne and dorian

commentary on the inquisitor's anchor killing him in trespasser from dorian

commentary on the inquisitor's well being in veilguard's finale from dorian

the inquisitor (especially when taking the stoic dialogue options) has always been someone who terminally "puts on a brave face", so the one (1) interaction we get with him and dorian in veilguard is like. so unbelievably in character.

dorian, who knows his amatus HAS pulled this bullshit in the past. the inquisitor, who has had character growth over the last eight years and now, like dorian, allows himself to be honest and vulnerable.

even the voice acting in veilguard sells it. dorian has noticeable worry in his voice. this is something that has lived in his mind for the past eight years, and is something he will desperately try to prevent from happening again. and the voice acting for the inquisitor too! in inquisition, any claims of being fine always felt forced or unconvincing. but here? yes, he is actually fine this time. no brave faces. he promises.

[corseque]

I just realized that Varric is the only advisor character. There were 3 in Inquisition… so this leaves the remote possibility open that I’ve been thinking about for the past few years… that Dorian will come in as a surprise and be our 2nd advisor… and then Solas will come in as even more of a surprise to be our 3rd advisor….
