Chapter 19 is up!

The numbering changed slightly because chapter 1 is now the title page, so I beg your pardon for that.

The fight was brutal, but the having two Grey Wardens and a mage on their side seemed to boost moral enough that it went far better than anyone had anticipated. In the end, all the villagers survived the night and, when dawn broke over the lake, a cheer went up from its people.

***

The pyre that morning was the smallest they’d had to make since the attacks began, Murdoch told them, and he thanked the visitors for their help. They went to the steps of the chantry where Teagan met them and presented them with breakfast.

warden amell x isolde for my friend

[aricr0cs]

I don't hate Isolde. There's something so realistic and very human about her.

She caused what happened in Redcliffe. All over not wanting her reputation to be sullied. That's horrible.

But honestly she was prolly a pampered person. Like she probably had no REAL grasp on what it actually MEANT for Connor to not receive proper training.

In my playthrough I let Jowan use her to get Morrigan to the fade. And she immediately agreed.

There's just something very human about it I guess. Realizing that you fucked up bad and being willing to sacrifice everything to fix it.

Prolly a cold ass take but here we are.

[dellamortethelesser]

you know how after redcliffe if you don’t save both Connor and Isolde, there’s a cutscene where you see archers setting fire to the boats/corpses of those being put to rest on Lake Calenhad?

I’ve decided that Naoise took it upon himself to see through his decision to sacrifice Isolde til the end; he was the one who agreed to let her die. He was the one who allowed the ritual. He was the one who chose to save her son instead of her.

He has to be the one to nock that arrow and pull it back. He bought this bow. He bought Connor’s life in blood. He’s letting it go and the flaming arrow is singing before it lights the boat of the arl’s wife. Maybe he knew the sacrifice she was making for her son. Maybe, as it burns, it is his way of saying goodbye to his own mother.

✨ bann teagan's new groove ✨

[elfcollector]

All mages are beacons that attract the attention of Fade spirits. Because of this, they are trained and tested by the Circle to ensure that they can withstand attacks from malevolent Fade creatures that seek entry into the waking world. Untrained Connor drew the attention of a powerful demon that tore the Veil asunder. He was freed from the demon's power at a terrible price: the cost of his mother's life.

[anneapocalypse]

Isolde Guerrin owns actually. She fed information to the Fereldan resistance during the Orlesian occupation. She tried to save her son from being taken by the Circle, and so far as we know the only reason her plan failed is Loghain planted an assassin in her home. She volunteers to give her life for her kid without a moment's hesitation, she doesn't give a fuck that it's blood magic, she just wants to save him. If you insist Connor has to die, she pleads for his life in a voice performance that deserves awards, and if she's convinced that there's no hope for Connor, she insists on doing the deed herself.

reading the stolen throne and trying to like maric is tough when you know in like 10 years he’s going to father a bastard and promptly ignore existence of said bastard, allowing him to be bullied and forced into servitude and used as a political pawn bc eamon and isolde are fucking awful. like maybe there’s more context I’m missing and will learn from reading the books but I’m finding it difficult to get past that so far! you dishonoured your wife already bro that ship has sailed! can we maybe make sure the child isn’t so traumatised it will later have a circle mage and a literal child slave saying uhhhh you good buddy?? anything you wanna talk about?

Veilguard Trivia: In Bioware's Dragon Age: Origins, Mage characters can strike a deal with the Desire Demon possessing Connor. The Demon will return and the Warden gets to learn Blood Magic. And Alistair approves as long as Connor and Isolde both live.
