Veiltober Day 24: Lyrium

-

Inspired by the lyrium potion bottle design from Origins.

[saturdaysky]

Gale of Minrathous

Dragon Age AU where Gale is a Tevinter magister who accidentally infected himself with red lyrium. He's found a way to halt the lyrification. Mostly.

More tidbits:

Devout Andrastian with a bit of Leliana's "the Maker speaks to me" thing going, except it's "Andraste—so obviously a mage btw, I have 5000 words prepared and ready to go on this topic—sings to me, magic prodigy"

"therefore I am sure to be the one to unlock the secrets of this powerful, strange new lyrium that is singing to m—oh. golly. that went poorly"

joins the inquisition after he emerges from isolation and his former peers have all become Venatori. If his own folly has emptied the sand from his hourglass, why not spend the little time that remains to him serving Andraste's chosen?

0 moral qualms about blood magic except that all participants must be willing. All magic is neutral—its use determines whether it is good or bad

Tara is his possessed cat, who has lived far longer than a cat should, but Gale isn't complaining. who says abominations can't like chin scritches

talks about Minrathous, a lot

would break open the heavens to see the throne of the Maker, just for the experience

Final AU thoughts under the cut!

what the magisterium doesn't want you to see:

the staff that I know, deep in my heart, Gale uses and insists is artistic:

just want to remind y'all of some kirkwall-related details that are not at all relevant for the possible events of datv:

meredith stannard is alive and kicking and is also planning a war against tevinter

red templars are in control of the gallows; it's hard to tell what's going on in the city itself, but with varric absent it might be left with no viscount again

there's an elven graveyard on sundermount where ancient elves entered uthenera; it is also possibly dedicated/related to mythal

there was also a demon contained in an idol on top of sundermount who supposedly possessed a great knowledge about arlathan and eluvians

the veil in kirkwall has always been remarkably thin and tevinter magisters were weakening it on purpose during their reign; the whole city was built as an enormous blood magic ritual site

if the veilguard squad is going to travel through the eluvians there's still one in kirkwall. the one that has been plot-relevant since dao

varric tethras woke up and put on his cock ring necklace and red tunic. he threw his hair up into a messy bun and came downstairs.

"pack your things bitch! i sold you for red lyrium money" said hawke from the kitchen table, cigarette in hand.

"what? you're a horrible person!"

"well i love red lyrium and i hate you!" said hawke. varric felt something hard hit the back of his head. hawke had thrown a copy of hard in hightown at him. varric ran for the door.

"hawke, he's trying to run away!" screamed anders as he grabbed varric. he was also smoking a red lyrium cigarette. when varric opened the door there was a beautiful butch lesbian standing there with a bald guy and a person with a glowing hand.

"ello, love! we're your new owners! i'm cassandra" said the beautiful butch.

"aren't you those losers from that stupid inquisition? there's no way i'm going with you!" varric turned to run away. the green hand one gestured to the bald guy, who started telling stories about the fade in extreme detail. it was so boring it started putting varric to sleep.

"thanks for taking him off my hands, inquisitor! goodbye, slut!" hawke laughed. it was the last thing varric heard before the bald guy's iambic pentameter made him pass out.

Veiltober - day 24, Lyrium

I know we all love Trespasser, but The Descent DLC is soooo good as well. They always manage to put the most interesting lore in DLCs, its crazy. I also really hope we get to see more about what's going to happen with the Titans, and the good news is we don't have to wait much more, baby!

Prints and stuff available on my Redbubble!

Prompts for Veiltober by @lynnerdo as always!!

[orinthered]

My Inquisitor infected by the red lyrium

[fenrinnn]

red lyrium

[ketsie]

he's my favourite companion from my favourite DA game and yet I don't remember ever drawing him before

[ketc7]

How is it that I remember you for far longer than I have known you…?

[mayhemforlace]

Don't you understand what they did? The elves ripped away our dreams so we would be still! Why should they thrive while we lie broken and forgotten? [...] I remember all of it. Everything the Evanuris did to the Titans. And now the world will remember!

[crossdressingdeath]

It's genuinely kind of hilarious to me seeing people whine about how the blight doesn't seem to be hurting the Veilguard even though it's supposed to be super dangerous like that makes DAV uniquely bad when Hawke and Quiz are swanning around the Deep Roads and jumping up and down on red lyrium with zero ill effects and even in DAO your non-Warden companions can get coated in darkspawn blood and be fine. Guys, it's a gameplay thing so your party doesn't die of exposure to stuff in the game's environment. Calm your tits.
