#gorim/aeducan

The people's pint-sized princess, Kozda Aeducan

I don't think I'm going to have her romance everyone because my heart belongs to the doomed bodyguard romance from the prologue

[datannapanda]

I am super late to the party but oh well.

I'm playing DA: Origins for the first time as a female Aeducan and I very much like it. The whole Aeducan/Gorim thing is very nice and also a little sad.

But one thing had me thinking like, from a story perspective, what was stopping Gorim from just...waiting outside the deep roads for you to come out with the Grey Wardens? Or maybe finding the Grey Warden camp? If he can somehow find his way to a city he's never been to all the way across the map, it shouldn't be too hard to find Ostagar. I mean, he made it clear he wanted to go with/be with you. Why is his first thought, "I'm gonna head to a kinda far away human city all alone even though I know I'm not great with 1 on 1 combat and also don't know if either of us will survive to make it there."

If he waited, he'd probably be able to ask the Grey Wardens if you survived and if they didn't see you, if they all can go back to find you.

Anyways I have an alternate universe in my head where he waits and they become Grey Wardens and fight together again.

And in canon she's glad he was able to find happiness and finally be his own man on the surface, even though she's sad about it and misses him. She plays it off with, "It's fine, I don't have time or energy to deal with matters of my heart outside of making sure it's still beating anyways." Then cries while killing stuff.

Both of these she is very frustrated with how bright it is outside and her eyes hurt.

Gorim?

The fine dwarven crafts guy????

[vigilskeep]

i bet with certain f!aeducans you could make the entire dao party have beef with gorim saelac to a degree you couldn’t even imagine

[thedragonagelesbian]

God this is so wild. They literally never taught him to fight any other way, to be anything else..........

im already way past it in this playthrough obv, but the option to ask gorim to hold you while you are imprisoned in the aeducan origin actually feels a little evil to me (in a good way). because it's such a sweet/sad moment between them where he tells the warden that they'll see each other again, she just has to survive, she just has to find duncan and they'll find each other again on the surface-

and then your warden lives, finds gorim, and the man has moved on so quick that he's married with a baby on the way and he's established himself as a merchant in denerim. like ok so what was that for then

m!aeducan/gorim:

[ghostgum]

The mother, the father, the child

[eliphasgraham]

Not even the murder of the entire Cousland family could compare to the suffering of the Aeducan warden. You survive through all of THAT just to see that your situationship got married + impregnated the culprit like 6 months after you got exiled AND you can't get his fucking marketing slogan out of your head.

" Fine Dwarven crafts " yeah same as my heart before you broke it, Gorim.

[attractthecrows]

thinking about. Gorim. who did everything he could. he did his absolute goddamn best to help you, to save you, to give you every single chance to survive your death sentence. he fought on your behalf. he did everything in his power and still failed. and as one last desparate effort - he told you where to find the Grey Wardens.

and then he had to leave. he couldn't so much as watch you walk into the Deep Roads. he had to make his way to Denerim without the person he'd so loyally served and cherished, on the surface for the first time on his own. and he hears nothing of you. why would he? you're with the Wardens now, ancestors willing.

maybe he clings to that. you, the Commander of house Aeducan, surely would not succumb before you found them. you must be with the Wardens. you're a Grey Warden, you will survive, you will find Denerim and Gorim. You will meet again.

But then Loghain returns, with his troops, without the King, without the Grey Wardens. With them comes news: Ferelden's army was decimated by the darkspawn horde, Ostagar overrun.

The Grey Wardens wiped out.

Should make a Rook that’s Gorim’s kid and was inspired by Aeducan to become a Grey Warden oh yes

[nohr-selphias]

Kinda crazy that Bhelen at some point clocked that his sister and Gorim have A Thing, something he could have used at any point to ruin her. But instead he played a longer game, knowing that she trusts Gorim implicitly, and Gorim is so well-read and devoted to serving and bettering House Aeducan they would become their own ruin with only a little nudge. Bhelen knew she’d never say yes to killing Trian if he took her aside alone. Gorim had to be there. And so he was… and the rest is history.

I wish Inquisition kept failed dialogue options because there's something so perfect about them sometimes. + Some extra origin sketches

[vigilskeep]

we need to start romanticising the dwarven concept of seconds. NOW.

[thedragonagelesbian]

That fucker who recognizes the warden in the denerim market triggered before parthytol could get to gorim...........
