This took me a while, because I kept swapping Sera and Viviane. Anyway, thoughts?

[wrenhavenriver]

Just make sure you put it to good use.

Vivienne: If it was a date why did both of you bring your weapon and armor? Sacha: Foreplay reasons. Vivienne: I don't know why I expected anything else.

once cooked up a mage trevelyan who's a bit older than the game implies they are as a means of reinforcing the previous message of the first 2 games regarding the treatment of mages and the mage-templar war - a 30-ish enchanter with a bone to pick with every person who defends the circle or the templars, very protective of the mages and apprentices, and extremely Tired of Everything Happening to Him

The Reign, ch14: A Future without Hope

Theresa meets with Fiona and Vivienne to discuss the future fate of mages in Thedas.

“Mages have waited long enough for our freedom.” Fiona’s aura stretched outward in a dense, threatening fog. “If it will not be given willingly, it must be taken by force.” Vivienne was unphased. “I hear that so wearily often. It must be a great comfort to the common folk to know that their survival is trivial, compared to our freedom.”  “The two needn’t be mutually exclusive!”  “Oh but they are. However much we may wish it, we are not like everyone else. Anyone can see that a chevalier is armed and dangerous, and they can see when his blade is about to strike. But they cannot see us coming. And we cannot simply leave our magic at the door like one would a sword. The world is not ready to trust mages.”  “And when, in your mind, will they be ready?”  “I’m sure I don’t know. But certainly not on the heels of the most violent uprising in living memory. Justinia’s death shattered the balance of power in Thedas. If it is not restored quickly, countless lives will be lost. Mages, templars, innocents of all kinds now look to the Inquisition to decide their fate. We must be their example. Now is not the time to push the envelope.” “What would you propose?” I asked quickly, in hopes of redirecting them.  Vivienne spoke to me, but kept her eyes on Fiona. “Rather than destroy the phylacteries, keep them close at hand, here in Skyhold. It would also be wise to create new ones for every mage already present. They will be well-protected, and enable us to have a more accurate accounting of our numbers.”  “With, no doubt, the caveat that we use them to track down any who do not wish to join our ranks?” Fiona sneered. “How remarkably loyal of you.”  “Do not use words you don’t understand, Fiona,” Vivienne answered coldly. “You only betray your own ignorance.”

... If Tristan went to the Inquisition as was the Divine's plan partially... Would he have a rivalry of management with Josie or perhaps Viv?

maybe lmao!! tristan wasn’t really trained to handle international affairs on josephine’s level but he was trained to run fereldan castles full of soldiers, raise militia, govern resources, etc. so he would not at all expect to take josephine’s job at the war table but he would consider himself more qualified to run skyhold and they might lock horns over how to treat important guests JGHDJSKSK

does the harrowing actually work or is it more of a "mages believe it works so it works" thing. like are you actually less likely to get possessed after being harrowed. it's a test you spend your whole apprenticeship being afraid of but even if you pass it i don't know if it has a 'reward'

[ghoulsbeard]

da3 thang is going to include some of my controversial opinions such as crestwood is one of my favorite spots and the lucrosians werent wrong. why didnt we ever meet any lucrosians... well i know why

[adler-obsessed]

god. Vivienne really is just. that character. She is taken to the circle so young she does not remember what her parents even looked like and someone had to tell her. She wouldn’t even know if they were telling the truth. She is ruthless, the terror and nightmare of the Orlesian court. She almost weeps when you find the Tranquil skulls in Redcliffe. She hates drop waists. She is harrowed younger than any other mage in living memory. She teaches Bull the steps to the dance of the six candles. He likens her to a Qunari dreadnought that has half the enemies on the ground before he’s even reached the front line. Her accent’s not Orlesian. No Free Marcher can tell where she is from either. Is her original voice another part of herself she cut off? She enchanted a duke within one meeting and they scandalised even Orlesian society. She was good friends with his wife. They possibly fucked too. No can control her. She’s been owned since the moment she was first brought to the Circle. She belongs to no people. There are a dozen leashes around her neck claiming otherwise. She makes fun of an elven god for setting his coattails on fire.  She is on the verge of banishing Cole back to the Fade all the time. She can’t help but grow to care for him at the end despite her best efforts to pretend otherwise. She hates herself for it. She thinks caring makes you weak. During the first conversation you have with her unmasked as a Trevelyan, she begs to know if you also cared about her childhood friend, Lydia. She tries to import illegal fur into Skyhold. Did she kill everything soft within her soul herself or did the Chantry sisters do it for her? She is impossible to prank. Some might say she’s even better than Sera at pranking. She was pulled into the game by the time she was nineteen. She’d faced worse things since she could first remember her dreams. Life has never been fair. One merely needs to be hard enough to survive. The blade at her neck when she lay on the floor of the harrowing chamber was no different from the hunger in her belly as child, a necessary pain that only drove her forward. Maker, was there ever any chance that she did not see cruelty as simply another word for life? Is there any version of her that does not end up surrounded by moral filth?
