#i think i went so far off script with arthur and helena that i forget how interesting i find just the canon prompt for who trevelyan is

even if u didn’t go for the whole punch of being justinia’s bastard, i do think being a chantry bastard in general is a good trevelyan backstory. like, with house trevelyan’s pious history of always sending kids to the templars or the priesthood. you’re “bann trevelyan’s youngest” but everyone knows you’re his nephew/niece through his younger sister who’s a revered mother or even a grand cleric somewhere
