Halevune Mahariel | art by @eldrtchmn
Brittle hair bleached white in living death, pale skin stretched tight over blackening veins, darkening in splotches like a bruised fruit beginning to rot. Silver-white eyes stared out from their gaunt hollows like distant stars in a dark sky. A short life packed with too much violence had left its mark in the mangled elven ears and the scar-torn vallaslin of Falon'Din, the markings of one who dealt death, and who would soon be dead.
Warden Commander. Teyrn of Gwaren. Hero of Ferelden.
Dead Man Walking.

[ID: Digital drawing of an elven man with pale skin and short, straight white hair from the shoulders up on a dark red-brown background. His left ear is torn, on his face is Falon'Din's vallaslin in a pale reddish purple, and he is wearing a blue top with silver filigree that goes up the collar and down the shoulders. He is looking toward the viewer with half lidded eyes and a small smirk. End ID.]

Henlo! For this DWC Friday.... I am curious about Hal & Talenna. 🌚 there’s a price to be paid for the things that we do.
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM I had a fun time with this one. Its as though the snow started up just to set the atmosphere for it. I didn't strictly quote the prompt in this one but it is definitely a theme, as I think it is with all Wardens to an extent, when the price you pay is the luxury of a longer life. Hope you enjoy ;w; for @dadrunkwriting
Rated G: Bittersweet, Angst-Lite, ~630 words
The Price That We Pay For The Things That We Do, And Steps That We Take To Compensate | By Exalted_Dawn
Ink pooled against the final press of quill to parchment, wetting the page in a perfect, round puddle as the rest of the words she had written were set and drying. The charcoal bleed had stained her fingers and the edge of her palm where it had brushed against page, but it could be washed off later. It was the words she had captured that would stain her the longest, summarized in chicken scratch but echoing perfectly in the deeper corners of her mind. She had made sure to remember them all in perfect detail– at this point the written recounting was little more than insurance. A way to keep her client’s paranoia at bay.
Though, this particular client did not give her that distinct impression. Throughout the entire process, he had been distant. A faint presence even while sitting in front of her. His eyes, milky white and rimmed with purple shadow, had remained elsewhere as he spoke– pinned on the swirling snow outside the tent she had requested he meet her at. Watching as his footprints were slowly erased beneath the flurry and his trail wiped away by time. As was the way of things. But then, she supposed they had both gathered here to fight that fate, if only by a little.
“Is there anything else you would like added?” she asked, her voice quieted beneath the blanket of winter. “Anything particular you would wish to be remembered? I can promise that the events will be presented as they happened, but I get the feeling that this was meant to be more than just a history...”
Her words trailed off, leaving room for a response, but Warden Mahariel’s eyes remained fixed on the tent entrance. Not pointedly. Not with purpose. Just… fixed.
Talenna frowned.
A history could have been found in any number of books. Talenna was certain the events of his had been recorded more times than could be counted. If that had been all he was after, then she doubted he would have come here at all.
But she was a storyteller, not a historian. And what most separated story from history was its heart– a message.
She sighed. “...What do you want him to remember most, lethal’lin?”
Ever so faintly, the Warden’s face pinched with purple shadow– a bitter thaw. He lowered his face, tracing the lines and blackened skin of his palms in thought. Talenna tracked the bob of his throat as he forced himself to swallow. He had talked much today, and the day’s air was not kind for so many words, but she needed these ones. They were the most important.
“That I never stopped fighting,” he whispered at last, his voice choked. “For the Dalish… for the city elves...”
For him, and for a cure. Morrigan had told her.
“For the future,” she added softly, and nodded. With a final blow to her pages, she tucked them away into the safety of a leather satchel and stood. “It will be done. When the story is finished, and time has done its work, I will be sure to find him and deliver it to his ears personally.”
His hand clenched tight. “You don’t have to do that.”
“I know.” Talenna turned and took a step towards the tent flap. “But I will.”
It was her promise as a storyteller, to make sure his message was delivered. To the People, aye, but also his people. His family.
If the Warden at her back had any further objections he did not speak them, and so Talenna considered her work done. With a deep breath in, scented slightly of death, and the story of Warden Halevune Marahriel heavy in her heart, Talenna braced herself and stepped out into the swirling snow.

A little DAFF Secret Satinalia exchange treat for @dreadfutures, lined by Haunt and shaded by Mulch!
Halevune Mahariel shares a spooky Dalish tale with his son. Kieran has heard this one so many times that it's no longer scary.

The Brave Guide, Ch 80 - The Willing Lost
Halevune dreams of Tamlen, and a new quest begins.
Halevune did not move to defend her, nor did he attack the lone darkspawn remaining. The boy was almost docile, waiting with no trace of his previous aggression. He looked not at her, but at the side of Hal's face, with a pleading expression.
"Lethallin," the ghoul rasped, and the plea in his voice was clear.
But Hal did not look at him. He stared down at Ixchel coldly instead.
"Figures, the Inquisitor would be inquisitive," he sneered. "I have been told it is rude to snoop in other people's heads."

This piece of my Warden with little Kieran, before the bitterness and the Blight took its toll on him, is so gorgeous. I've been so speechless throughout this whole, lovely commission process! I highly recommend working with wellnoe!!! I certainly will commission them again, her thumbnails alone were jaw dropping. 💞

I look forward to seeing any comics you do!! I love DA comics :)
Here is a oneshot of my Mahariel, Morrigan, and Kieran reading a bedtime story and talking about freedom: story here.
Send me your Dragon Age one-shots/snippets! And I'll draw them as a comic!
I wanna draw more comics! And I would be, if not for my shitty writing skills which takes one billion years to complete, so getting to the comic drawing stage is near zero. So, please, do share some one-shots/snippets!
Some caveats: - I can't confirm that I'll draw every single request, because that's just not realistic. I most probably also won't confirm whose story will get chosen until I post up the final comic, mainly because I might not be able to get to it due to time constraints. - It's best if your tumblr already have references of your DA OC, so that I don't mis-draw anyone. And this will give me wiggle room to do the comic in my own time, without pestering you for refs - If your one-shot is on the long side, I'll most probably pick a small section to draw
I was thinking that maybe if I do draw enough, I can just compile it into a free zine, and release it as a pdf booklet. But this is still a looong ways away, and not confirmed until the authors approve.
Edit: Mass Effect is good too!

The Brave Guide, Ch 88 - Epitaphs
Now free from Valor's prison, it's time to lay many things to rest. But every ending proves to be the start of something new.
Of all the people she expected to walk through, Halevune was at the bottom of the list. Halevune in his shirtsleeves was even more unexpected, but there he stood with his shoulders low, his gaze on the two dark bottles he held with their necks wound tightly between the fingers of one hand. A moment passed in silence, stretched thin across the distance between where they stood. “I don’t know ‘bout you,” he said, gravel in his voice, “but I need a drink after all that.”
The Brave Guide is a canon-divergent Dragon Age longfic. It continues the story of Dead Pasts and Dread Futures, in which Lavellan was sent back in time against her will after the Dread Wolf’s plans destroyed the world.
The series follows Inquisitor Ixchel Lavellan and her battle to find hope for herself, and hope for Thedas. As the world ends, Ixchel is resurrected under mysterious circumstances and is sent back in time to the Conclave. Ixchel is furious, convinced of her own futility, and yet she cannot give up again. These are the stories of how she gets better.

The Brave Guide, Ch 83 - Lands No Longer Yours
Ixchel infiltrates Valor's first trap and finds that it looks a lot like Denerim. What choice made there could Valor claim was cowardly?
A tendril of fear crawled into her gut as she fought what must have been hundreds of darkspawn. She remembered how Cole had said that embodying large battlefields and shaping the traumatic events from her past had taxed Envy to its limits. Yet Valor was able to call upon what felt like all the spirits in the Fade to give life to the Battle of Denerim once more. She knew then that she would not be able to face Valor on her own. “Hal!” she shouted over the roar of the dragon. “Hal, it’s me! This is another nightmare!” She had hoped his anger at her for a second invasion of his dreams would be enough to snap him free of Valor’s compulsions, but it seemed he was drowning in too much already—darkspawn, and his own despair. “That’s right,” Valor said, but it spoke as Ixchel now knew the Archdemons must: in the voice of the Blight. Like the voices she heard in red lyrium, like the monstrosity that was an echo of the Evanuris’s malice, it sang its words with a hatred most potent and a longing that she could not help but feel. “This is a nightmare, come to its end.”
