Elenara Lavellan

Elven rogue and archer, specialized as Artificer

Hunter of Clan Lavellan, Inquisitor and Comtesse of Kirkwall

Finally, I managed to update Elenara’s profile and biography. Yay me! I wanted to do this for the longest time. The first iteration of her biography was rather short and I have developed her character since then a lot more through little posts here on Tumblr and fanfiction. I didn’t even know how many head-canons I had for Elenara until I started writing this. This made it so much more fun (and challenging).

I hope you enjoy reading this, although I know this a big reference post for myself for the most part. If you wanna know more about my Lavvelan, you’ll more posts about her via her tag.

____

PROFILE

Full name: Elenara Lavellan Race: Dalish elf Class: Rogue, archer Specialization: Artificer Nationality: Free Marches Religion: Elven gods

Biometrics

Age: 32 (in 9:41 Dragon) Eye color: Green Hair color: Blonde Height: 1,55 m / 5,1 feet Weight: 43 kg / 86 pounds Vallaslin: Dirthamen Scars: Two facial scars (left eye, left side of her jaw), one on the lower back (from an arrow), two on the abdomen (from stab wounds).

____

CHARACTER TRAITS

Positive: Empathetic, patient, and open-minded. Negative: Too trusting, tends to avoid confrontations, prone to procrastination

Motivation and goals

Elenara is driven by the desire to understand–be it politics, history or people. She always looks for the why and goes out of her way to see the world from other people’s perspective. Her goal is to create a world in which the people of Thedas can learn to co-exist peacefully.

Strengths and weakness

Due to her empathetic traits, she is a good mediator and knows how to broker a deal between different parties. She can make everyone feel valued and appreciated and thus build strong alliances between parties that would otherwise be at odds with each other. This strength is also the source of her greatest weakness. Her trustworthiness and forgiveness can be exploited by different people. Oftentimes, Elenara will not know that she has been betrayed until it’s too late.

Special abilities

She is a hunter first and foremost, skilled with the bow as much as a blade. As a young woman, she would learn how to mend old armor and sow new clothing. Her talent with a needle became useful when patching up injured hunters in the absence of a healer or medical professional. She is used to closing her own wounds, even if they will leave a scar.

Dreams and aspirations

As a young girl, she would dream about going to visit the Grand Tourney. As she became older, she aspired to attending a university to further her studies and be up-to-par with human scholars.

Best friends and confidants

With the Lavellan clan: Deshanna, Erendir and Almaril With the Inquisition: Varric, Dorian and Cassandra

Likes, dislikes and other preferences

Loves roasted chestnuts

Likes to sleep in open fields

Enjoys being alone in the woods,

Can spend hours on end daydreaming

Despises human shoes, but has a nack for make-up. Lipstick, especially.

Red is her favourite color

Nicknames

While the faithful called her “Herald of Andraste”, she never took much liking to the title. She prefered the nicknames given to her by relatives and friends like Nara (used by members of her clan), Aunt Ell (by the children of her friend Erendir), as well as Inky or Boss. After the Exalted Council, Varric would start to call her “Comtesse”⎯an ironic reference to the informal title she owned thanks to him.

BIOGRAPHY

Early years

Born in 9:09 Dragon as the daughter of the former First Hunter of the Lavellan clan, Elenara learned how to provide for herself and her kin at a very early age and became a fairly skilled archer. With a gift for crafts and needlework, she would often create new clothing or armor of her fellow hunters and help their healers tend to the wounded.

After the death of her father in 9:22 Dragon, she became fascinated with the lore and history of Thedas. More often than not, she would wander away from the camp to search for old ruins, until the keeper decided to provide Elenara with books to study instead. From then onward, the young hunter would craft new clothing to sell in the various cities in the Free Marches to pay for her education.

When coming of age, she decided to have the vallaslin of Dirthamen, keeper of secrets, tattooed to her face, as she felt drawn to the past of her people and the secrets it might hold. At the age of 31, she was knowledgeable about history, politics and the culture of various nations, which made her the perfect candidate when it was time for the keeper to choose a clan member to witness the conclave at Haven.

Although she deeply cared for her clan, only a few members ever got close to Elenara after her father’s death. Her aunt Irileth, her father’s younger sister, took care of her but became estranged from her niece when Elenara had grown into a woman. From then on, Elenara spent most of her time with Erendir, a young hunter only three years older than her. She admired his kindness and practicality while he was fascinated with her curiosity. For a time, they maintained in intimate relationship, until Erendir asked her to be his wife and have children with him.

Joining the Inquisition

When she was asked to attend the Divine’s conclave in Haven, she was eager to go, but uncertain how she or her clan could benefit from the outcome of the mage-templar war. Using her knowledge of human society, she managed to blend in with the crowd at the Temple of Sacred Ashes.

Being a simple hunter beforehand, she was confused by the explosion at the conclave and its aftermath. When she saw the destruction the Breach caused in Haven, she agreed to help in the efforts to stop this madness. She was reluctant when it came to joining the Inquisition however. Being a firm believer in the elven pantheon, Elenara had no ties with the chantry. Being called “Herald of Andraste” felt like deception to her, and so she never actively claimed that title for herself. She ultimately agreed to help Cassandra, Leliana and Cullen to form the Inquisition to secure her own safety and play her part in closing the Breach.

Her biggest concern in the early days of the Inquisition was to save the refugees in the Hinterlands and other regions of Ferelden and protected them from rebel mages and rogue templars alike. Soon, she became known for her compassion and temperance among the Inquisition forces.

With her choice to side with the rebel mages at Redcliffe, Elenara gained a whole heap of enemies, but also new powerful allies.

Becoming Inquisitor

After the descruction of Haven, Elenara struggled with her new role as Inquisitor. Being a firm believer in the elven Creators, she never quite felt at ease with leading the armies of the faithful, and she kept her thoughts on the matter fairly secret. Although her confidants knew about her doubts, she played along with the diplomatic charade Leliana had set up. She knew all too well that this was the only way to stop Corypheus before he could cloak the world.

In the back of her head, she was trying to find a way to use her new power as leverage to help her people–the elves.

Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts

After ending the conflict in the Dales between the imperial forces and the so-called Freeman, it was time to prevent the assassination attempt on Empress Celene. Leliana, Josphine and Vivienne would teach Elenara in the rules of the Great Game in preparation, as well as dancing and ettiquette.

Upon arriving in Halamshiral, Elenara found herself in a state of true panic for the first time since she joined the Inquisition. Right there, in the heart of the Dales where her people once fought for their freedom, she came to realize that she was no longer studying history, but making it with her own hands. Being looked down upon from the Orlesian nobles didn’t do much to help her ease into the situation. She had no fondness for the great game of deception the Orlesians like to play, although she managed to find her way around the Winter Palace. It was painfully clear that there was more at stake than her own reputation. Not just for the Inquisition, but for the elves in general.

In the end, she managed to confront Florianne de Chalons in front of the imperial court, putting an end to her plan to kill the empress. Elenara also managed the reveal delicate details about Grand-Duke Gaspard’s plans to usurpe the throne, and Celene had her cousin executed in response. Elenara’s goal was to reconcile Celene with her former lover to give the elven rebel an edge in Orlesian politics, but the empress exiled Briala instead. Elenara had Leliana and her spies keep an eye out for Briala’s whereabouts since she, too, was interested in helping the elves of Thedas.

Relationship with Solas

As Inquisitor, Elenera used every chance she got to deepen her knowledge of the world. Naturally, she would gravitate towards Solas, who knew more about the history of the world than anyone else she had ever met. She was fascinated by his abilities as a dreamer and would often listen to the stories he had found during his exploration of the Fade. More than that, she saw in him what the elves might be: proud, confident, and respected. Soon, she found herself infatuated with him though keep this to herself until the Inquisition reached Skyhold.

Even after their first kiss in the Fade, Elenara tried to keep her feelings for him fairly secret, meeting with Solas in private whenever possible. Afraid to admit that she had fallen in love with him, she tried to keep up the illusion of them being close friends in front of her companions. An endeavour that was destined to fail, as Varric and Dorian soon discovered the truth about the couple. And yet, Elenara stalled and put of saying “I love you” as long as possible – until one night by a lake near Crestwood.

More on her relationship with Solas here:

OTP Questions #1

OTP Questions #2

Death of the Lavellan clan

Shortly after the events at the Winter Palace, a messenger arrived with a terrible message. Bandits had attacked and killed the Lavellan clan. Any help from the Inquisition came too late.

After the death of her clan, Elenara was so devastated that she practically avoided any mention of them. She felt miserable and ashamed to have not been there to fight among them, and wouldn’t let Solas or any of her other companions comfort her. That was, until a few survivors arrived in the Frostback mountains. Among them were Erendir and his wife Almaril.

Happy to have them back in her life, Elenara offered them a place at Skyhold, but they refused. Almaril hated Elenara for joining the Inquisition while the clan had needed her, although she knew her friend had good reasons to stay in Haven. The bigger problem was Erendir, however. Although he had ended the relationship with Elenara at his own volition and went on to have children with Almaril, he didn’t fail to notice the attachment his former lover felt for Solas. Erendir had loved Elenara deeply and still regretted ending things between them, because she refused to have children with him. Seeing her with Solas, who was a better match for her than Erendir had ever been, made it even worse.

One night, he confronted Solas to learn more about the apostate‘s feelings for Elenara, eventually bragging about his shared past with her. Despite being tempted to teach the other elf a lesson, Solas left Erendir where he stood, determined to never speak of the matter again. When Elenara got wind of this, she felt betrayed and asked Erendir and Almaril to leave Skyhold. She made sure, however, that the Inquisition provided for them and the other surviving clan members before they parted ways.

Here Lies The Abyss & The Temple of Mythal

After the remaining members of the Lavellan clan left Skyhold, the Inquisition armies marched for Adamant Fortress. Interrupting the ritual with which the Grey Wardens would have summoned a demon army, Elenara and her party were attacked by Corphyeus’s lyrium dragon. Opening a rift, she managed to safe Warden Strout, Hawke and herself, as well as Solas, Cassandra and Dorian who had accompanied her on the mission.

After retrieving her memories and defeating the Nightmare, Elenara pressed on to stop Corypheus as soon as possible. After freeing Emprise the Lion from the red templars, she order a coordinated attack on the enemy troups in the Arbor Wilds.

Once again, she was accompanied by Solas, Cassandra, and Dorian as she entered the Temple of Mythal. Under differenty circumstances, finding the temple would be a life-long wish of hers fulfilled. Tempted to stay and study the ancient relief in the temple to learn as much about the past of her people, only the immediate danger of Corypheus taking the power of the Well of Sorrows let her press on.

Elenara sided with the Sentinels to bring down the red templars that attacked the ancient temple. Afraid of the power of the Well and what might do it with her, Elenara decided to let Morrigan drink from the waters and be bound to Mythal’s will.

When she ventured deeper into the Arbor Wilds to find the altar of the Mythal, Elenara had already begun to suspect that something was wrong. Until then, her belief in the elven gods had been unfaltering, but knowing that the All-Mother still lived and had chosen to ignore the plight of her people made her question their authority. Had she been unsure if she could continue her life as a Dalish elf and came to except that she had to become some else entirely.

The Vallaslin Removal

When Solas told her about the true meaning of the vallaslin, Elenara was deeply hurt. Though she had taken some pride in being Dalish and loved her people for trying to preserve elven history, she was disappointed by the elven Creators by this point that she wanted to leave her past and devotion for them behind. Therefore, she allowed Solas to take the vallaslin from her.

The Battle With Corypheus And After

Rattled by the events at the Temple of Mythal and the break-up with Solas, Elenara dove head first into the final confrontation with Corypheus, not hesitating to face the Tevinter magister in the Valley of Sacred Ashes. Fully prepared to die in battle, she fights her nemesis with brute force. When she finally obtained the orb from Corypheus’s hands, she banished the magister to the Fade without batting an eyelide. It was the first time, she came into contact with her darker side and gave in to her own lust for revenge.

After the battle and Solas disappearance, she began to feel exhausted, drained from the struggles. Slowly, she descended into a state of depression. Not only had she lost her clan, but also her home, her faith in the Creators and her identity, as well as the man she had come to love. Knowing all to well that it would be best for her to move on and find new purpose in live, she clung to her former life and couldn’t stop loving Solas. To distract herself, she took on the mission of finding the resting place of Inquistor Ameridan and was eager to help out with the earthquakes in the Deep Roads. Until...

The Exalted Council and the Qunari Invasion

Two years after the destruction of Haven, Cassandra, now known as Divine Victoria, called for an Exalted Council in Halamshiral. Returning to the city in which she had fought so hard to gain the respect of the Orlesian nobles – and humans in general – Elenara final came to the conclusion that in it was time to move on. She had felt lost for too long know and it was taking a toll on her. So, when the time came to meet with the ambassadors of Ferelden and Orlais, she fully expected the negotiations to result the the disbanding of the Inquisition.

And yet, when a qunari corpse was found in the middle of the Winter Palace, she felt that sense of purpse again. Dealing with the threat that the qunari posed gave her something to do, something she was actually good at. Even when the anchor was beginning to effect her health, she kept on going, determined to make herself useful again.

What she didn’t expect was to find out that Fen’Harel, the Dread Wolf, was orchestrating the events from behind the scenes. With what she had learned about Mythal, Elenara was willing to believe that Fen’Harel was a living and breathing entity, too. When she learned that Solas was the trickster god she learned to fear as a child, her world was shattered once again. Not even once did she consider joining him, for she had fought to hard to protect the world as she knew it. Even without a purpose and without a new identity that transcended her role as Inquisitor, she knew she could not let Solas go forth with his plans, no matter how much she still loved him.

After the Exalted Council

Learning that the Inquisition has been compromised by qunari spies and Fen’Harel’s agents, she executed her initial plan of disbanding the entire organization as soon as she and her party returned to the Winter Palace.

With the Inquisition gone, Elenara found herself free to go wherever she wanted. Now holding the title “Countess” in Kirkwall, she returned to the Free Marches and tried to settle in to her new estate in Hightown while corresponding with Cassandra, Dorian, Cullen and Leliana to coordinate the activities to counter Solas’s plan. She felt confident working from underground and plotting to redeem her former lover.

Six months after the painful revelation of Solas being Fen’Harel and Elenera’s fruitless attempts to learn more about her lovers whereabouts, she called in a few favors and went to Val Royeaux to attend the University of Orlais–one of the first elves to ever do so. The university gave her access to ancient documents with which she planned to further her studies on Fen’Harel, while her presence allowed elves to pursue an academic career more openly. Elenara fought for their rights for higher education, using her reputation as Inquisitor and “Herald of Andraste” as well as her acquaintance with Professor Kenric as leverage.

And there she remains, until she finds a way to change the Dread Wolf’s heart or counter his plan to destroy the world.

Hi, I love Connor! Is there any history on what happened to lead to him becoming tranquil, and how that affects his interactions with folks around him - and leading the Inquisition! - and his relationship with Dorian? Thanks!

Being tranquil didn’t affect too much of his time with the Inquisition since it was broken when the Envy demon (and Cole) entered his mind at Therinfal Redoubt, but it was quite a time regardless.

Connor’s history leading to his tranquility is a little complicated (I’m not sure why I did this to myself honestly lol). He was only tranquil about 2-3 months leading up to the beginning of Inquisition after a bit of a freak accident during the rebellion of Ostwick’s circle, probably involving some blood magic and a heck of a lot of lyrium with a healthy dose of “life or death” adrenaline to boot. He chose his own fate of tranquility out of fear of loss-of-control or becoming an abomination or both. Ironically, though he had never actually physically showed magical ability before, he had been dreaming in the fade since the age of 10 (the same time his sister actually showed magical ability). He generally had pleasant times in his dreams and nothing notable ever came of it, so he never really payed it any mind, not to mention it was so different than how the Chantry described the fade that he never made the connection.

I wrote more for you, but it’s a bit long so it’s under a cut~

Initially in Haven, Connor had a tendency to follow Cullen around, likely due to habit, being raised a Templar and all. Mainly, Cullen felt bad, and eventually let him help oversee recruit training. Connor was by no means a shabby fighter, and his endless patience made for great drill training, but seeing a man nearly his own age, his own former rank, in Templar armor and utterly devoid of emotion because of Templars made Cullen seriously uncomfortable. Otherwise, Connor had fairly neutral interactions with the other advisors.

Most of the companions were generally pleasant to him, though kept him clearly at arms length. Solas almost seemed to go out of his way to avoid Connor around Haven. Varric and Iron Bull treated him the most normal, and it felt like Sera went out of her way to try and get a rise out of him, even though she knew her efforts were for naught. Though he was tranquil, Connor’s logic was heavily set in his Chantry-centric upbringing, which definitely won him some early brownie points with Cassandra and Vivienne.

After Therinfal Redoubt, things sort of 180’d though. Connor disagreed with much of the basis for the initial Templar Order, his prior feelings on how the Templars abandoned the Chantry in the first place certainly colored his opinion on the group and its purpose. He began to grow some resentment towards the Chantry after he realized the negative effects of lyrium and its addiction, and blamed the existence of the red Templars on it. When he realized that he had never really been in danger of becoming an abomination after learning that he had already spent extensive time in the fade with spirits and demons alike, his disdain towards the Chantry and its stance on magic only grew. Let’s not forget to mention his general experience as tranquil, which did neither the Chantry or the Templars any favors in changing his opinion.

He began spending most of his time with Solas and Cole, asking endless questions about magic and the fade and anything possibly related. Dorian was an enigma to him for quite some time and their interactions mainly started as sheer curiosity on both of their parts - Dorian, the Tevinter “magister” who had never feared magic, and Connor, a southern Templar turned tranquil mage. Connor’s tranquility didn’t actually have a real big initial affect on the relationship aside from making it one of the slowest developing relationships possible, due to Connor’s generally defensive and touchy nature that he took on in response to the over-emotional vulnerability of his broken tranquility. Later on, its mostly just a bad memory that caused some long-standing trust issues.

I’d like to say that Dorian helped him learn about magic, but it never quite worked out for them. However, he did help Connor become more comfortable with being expressive and generally accept being a mage.

All the questions for whichever origin applies :) (I'm sorry I'm not super familiar with your characters!)

(Rahna) TABRIS:

What was Tabris’ relationship with their family like? (Cyrion, Adaia, Shianni, Soris…)

She doesn’t really remember Adaia all that well(which bothers her more than she admits), She loves her father but wishes he was a little less…. complacent. She and Shianni get along great, they’re fond of the whole teasing-insults-that-sound-real-to-other-people as a means of showing affection with each other. She and Soris get along pretty great(even if he is sort of the reason she’s claustrophobic)

How did Tabris handle being told of their arranged marriage?

She… wasn’t thrilled, but she knows lots of people who have happy marriages even though they were arranged., so she didn’t protest too much. Just rolled her eyes a little at the whole “We don’t wanna seem like troublemakers so don’t mention the weapon training, k?”

How did Tabris react to meeting their betrothed?

Oh, meeting Nelaros definitely made her way more okay with the getting married thing. (She still has the ring. Even years later.) He’s so sweet and seems like such a nice guy, but also doesn’t just take Vaughan’s crap. She was actually looking forward to marrying him before… y’know.

Did Tabris have any knowledge or ideas about the Dalish? Did they believe they were real, or a myth?

She knew vaguely that they existed, but no real details. Did believe they were real, though.

Did Tabris stop to talk with the children playing? If so, how did they handle the children saying they didn’t know any elven heroes?

No, she didn’t, because she was my first time through the Tabris origins and I missed it. >.>

How did Tabris respond to Vaughn harassing the elven women? To he and his men crashing the wedding?

Straight up told him to knock it off and leave them alone//”I’ll kill you if you touch us”//cheered Shianni on when she bottled the bastard

If Tabris was kidnapped, what was their plan before Soris showed up?

Kill everyone in the way and get them all out as unharmed as possible(and then Nola got killed pretty much straight off the bat, which only made her angrier).

Did Tabris kill Vaughn or accept his money? Why?

Oh, bitch, he dead. And it was extra great cuz she got the dual-weapon finishing move where you stab your opponent in the gut and then cut off their head. She was very satisfied.

What was growing up in the alienage like for Tabris? How did they feel about having to leave?

Growing up in the Alienage for Rahna meant a large importance on family, sometimes going hungry bc there wasn’t enough, and a slowly built and reinforced distrust for human nobility(I’m honestly kind of shocked at how fast she and Nate bonded in DAA)

How did Tabris feel about returning to the alienage, and finding slavery?

*KILL BILL SIRENS*

(Trinne) AMELL:

Did Amell have any memories of their life before the Circle? If so, what of? If not, how did they feel about not knowing where they’re from?

OH, yeah. Trinne was eight–almost nine–when the templars took her, so she remembers her parents(she was a Daddy’s Girl, through and through) and her sisters really well. She has lots of memories playing with her sisters, her father teaching her constellations, her mother attempting to tame her hair, etc etc

What was Amell’s relationship with Jowan like? What did they think of the revelation of him being a blood mage?

Oh, best friends isn’t even strong enough. Trinne and Jowan are basically family in every sense but blood(and actually, Modern AU he is her brother via adoption). The single fastest way to make her angry is go after Jowan, whether that be just insults or physically attacking him. And he’s defensive of her right back, she just… needs it less. She beats people up for calling him names, he lies to keep her out of trouble and keeps her from being too impulsive as much as he can. She has mixed feelings about the blood mage reveal, those mixed feelings being AWESOME and WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL ME?!?! She’s hurt he lied to her, but she doesn’t view blood magic as being as evil as the Chantry teaches(entropy mage; she’s put a lot of thought into this stuff “Why is THAT bad but not THIS?”, so that didn’t bother her as much.)

How prepared was Amell for their Harrowing?

She was pretty prepared, star pupil and all that. Still just barely managed to figure out Mouse’s game in time.

What was Amell’s reaction to first entering the Fade?

She thought it was pretty neat, if a tad disorienting. Adjusted pretty quickly to the concept of her will making things Real and ran with it.

Did Amell believe in “Mouse?” What did they think of his story?

Of my mages, Trinne’s the most comfortable with her skill level and least self-effacing, so he almost got her with his combo of “Woe is me” and “You’re so powerful and strong, surely you can succeed!”

How did Amell feel about living in the Circle?

Jowan and picking on the templars were the only things that made life bearable. Oh, and books. She loves to read, especially history, so the most common place to find her was the library.

Did Amell favour a particular Fraternity? What did they think about Circle politics in general?

She usually tried to keep out of Circle politics, but if you forced her to picked, she’d probably come down somewhere between Aequitarians and Libertarians, leaning a bit more toward the latter.

How did Amell feel about working with tranquil mages?

She sees Tranquility as being just as much an abomination as anything any demon can do to a mage; stripping them of their free will and turning them into an obedient puppet. She and Jowan would both rather die than be Tranquil, so even after everything goes to hell in the Origins, even when she’s mad and hurt that he lied to her, she’s never, ever sorry she helped him escape that. Not for a second. And she’s not shy about admitting that either.

Did Amell decide to help Jowan and Lily, or did they tell Irving of their plans? Why?

Oh, she helped Jowan and Lily. No arm-twisting or anything required. She did check with Irving that they were really planning to make Jowan Tranquil, got really mad when the reason “Oh, yeah, someone told Greagoir he’s a blood mage” (I mean, he is a blood mage, but she didn’t know that, and the fact they were going to make Jowan Tranquil because of what was to her just hearsay infuriated her), and is therefore extremely defiant about helping them.

How did Amell feel about returning to the Circle, and seeing it in chaos?

It broke her heart and made her want to throw up and if Uldred had still been Uldred instead of a demon’s plaything, she probably would’ve thrown him off the top of the tower and prayed he bounced as many times as possible on the way down.

(Gabriel) ANDRAS (AWAKENING):

What was the warden’s life like prior to joining the order? Under what circumstances did they join?

Gabriel’s family(Parents, him, and younger brother Remy) were servants to one of the more decent chevaliers(I know that’s not saying much. He didn’t beat them, they were fed and had a roof, his sister actually was the one who taught Gabriel to read). Gabriel picked up some moves watching the guards/soldiers spar and practiced in what little free time he had, developed a rogue-influenced warrior fighting style(he’s a berserker/champion/spirit warrior in game). Long, LONG story short, a Grey Warden saw him fighting and was impressed with his skill–even more so upon learning he was essentially self-taught–and Conscripted him,

How did the warden react to being made Warden-Commander and sent to a new country?

Surprised, tbh. He was still a relatively new Warden at the time of the Blight and its aftermath; so he’d expected some with more Warden experience would get command. The new country bit didn’t bother him much; he’s always wanted to travel.

What did the warden say in return to Empress Celene presenting them with new armour, upon their departure?

He doesn’t (I don’t) remember :P

What was the warden’s first impression of Ferelden?

Well, it was raining, so cold, wet, and lots of green and brown

How did the warden handle the negative backlash to their Orlesian nationality?

Honestly, he’s just glad they’re focusing on that rather than calling him “rabbit” and telling him to go make supper.

#rahna tabris #trinne amell #gabriel andras #these are the three who are canon in one way or another :P #thanks for asking!

In Redcliffe, one of the rebel mages Lysas (a former city elf and probably a Fereldan, to judge by the accent) talks about wishing for freedom so he could use his magic for the benefit of society and wonders aloud if it could boost agriculture. He says this in a tentative, speculative way (indicating that he doesn’t know whether this is even possible), even as a fully educated Harrowed mage, which certainly suggests that agricultural magic hasn’t been practiced recently or regularly in Ferelden and its environs. As far as I recall, this is the only verbal reference to using magic to enhance agricultural production in the games. When going through the library of Kinloch Hold (in DAO Witch Hunt), there are three books that potentially reference this (Gardening through the Blight, All About Weeds, and The Joy of Seeds), although the first is apparently speculative (and debunked) and it’s unclear if they are all only speaking of the small scale gardening of herbs for poultices/potions (given that they’re filed under “Herbalism”). The Dalish are of course nomads, although it’s unclear whether they practice limited agriculture from time to time (as real world hunter-gatherers have been known to do).

But the broader point is that in the lands under Divine, people don’t seem to have even tried and apparently aren’t permitted to (at least not beyond perhaps isolated small-scale experiments in gardening) despite the chronic poverty and repeated food shortages. Moreover, it’s not as if the ability to enhance plant growth with magic is purely hypothetical either - a book detailing how the Dalish grow/manipulate roots can be purchased from a street vendor in Amaranthine for 10 gold. Considering that it’s apparently a battle to get the Chantry and the Templars to allow the recruitment of more than a handful of mages to combat the Blight, which threatens the lives of literally everyone (not just the poor) in its path, it probably shouldn’t be surprising that they have such little interest in opportunities to help the common man.

I don’t have much to add with regard to your second point, but thinking about the element of self-fulfilling prophecy, I wish the writing on blood magic in DA2 could have been more like that on caste and crime in DAO. The Dwarf Commoner Origin illustrated the vicious cycle quite well - casteless dwarves are prohibited from obtaining any legitimate work (even menial labor), so they have to turn to crime (typically being forced to operate within gangs like the Carta) just in order to survive, with the only alternatives being begging (which naturally isn’t going to be very effective given that they are restricted to areas populated by equally poor casteless dwarves) and, for young women, prostituting themselves to nobles in hopes of producing a status-elevating heir. That all casteless appear to be gangsters, beggars, and hookers then inevitably reinforces hostile and fearful attitudes towards them on the part of the upper castes (negative reactions which can be experienced first-hand by the PC); after all, a merchant isn’t likely to see a casteless man enter his shop unless the latter has come to rob and/or assault him. Furthermore, given that casteless status is based on criminal ancestry, it would be easy to see a casteless criminal as having an inherited/inherent criminal tendency (given that members of every generation all seem to turn to crime), thus justifying the stigma and exclusion. While a reformer like Bhelen might attempt to solve the problem through providing jobs (e.g., through the military) and weakening the caste system, conservatives simply see the need for further crackdowns on crime. By contrast, in DA2 and DAI the social forces pushing mages to blood magic and demons are occasionally spoken of - and can be inferred based on information presented at various points in the games - but just aren’t directly experienced by the player in the same way. It’s there, but it’s easy to miss, and arguments obviously aren’t going to nearly as persuasive as direct observation or experience. The player can choose to specialize in blood magic, but it’s a free choice they can make for fun and has no impact outside of combat (except in some cut content in DAO, in which Wynne and Irving get angry, and one dialogue option with Anders in Awakening). Moreover, characters who use blood magic or summon demons to gain/preserve their freedom are intensely vilified pretty much without exception. Even in DAO, before Mages-vs.-Templars became a main focus of the series, the player isn’t allowed to express any sympathy towards blood mages (even though the game allows you to specialize as one) - no matter that Jowan, for one, is the childhood best friend of a mage Warden. The only “good” blood mage shown to the player is of course Merrill, who while not vilified can be treated like a foolish little girl dabbling with dangerous forces beyond her understanding, and she’s using it freely for research purposes rather because she’s been backed into a corner. It would have been interesting to have a character turn to blood magic or summon demons to use as weapons (e.g., against the Templars) without being vilified, but it seems the writers are sticking to the standard tropes.

Now that you mention it, muggle (for lack of a better in-universe term) parents may very well be able to teach mages simply based on simple observation. Besides Arianni and Feynriel, which may be a more ambiguous case due to Feynriel being a Dreamer, there’s Thrask and his daughter Olivia. Thrask obviously watched the education and training of mages in the course of his job as a Templar, and he was able to successfully raise Olivia from the age of 9 (when her magic manifested, according to WoT v.2) to adulthood in secret (quote: “I know the sacrifices you've made to conceal my secret, but I am a child no longer” in Olivia’s Letter to Thrask). She only became possessed because she was struggling to resist abduction by slavers, which is as good a reason as any to fight to the death with whatever weapons are available. When informed of Olivia’s death, Thrask initially blames himself for being too “weak” to turn her in, although it’s unclear if he was fully aware of the circumstances (i.e., that she was in the midst of being trafficked and frantically trying to escape) given that Hawke merely handed him her letter without much explanation just before he said that. The other known cases of muggle parents with mage children involve parents who lacked personal knowledge of how to use magic beforehand (e.g., Isolde), much less any support for raising their children in the home, so it’s not surprising that they had difficulty coping.

Witch AU

Hey, I wrote a thing today!

Melarue and Anaris (the cat) belong to @justanartsysideblog

There is a shop on a street in Wycome. It’s a nice street, lined with well-kept white flowering trees. There are pools of petals under the trees, decorating the grey stones of the sidewalks. The shop is nestled in a with the rest of the old brown rowhouses. A small sign hangs outside of the shop declaring it to the world.

OLDE BOOKS FOR OLDER SOULS est. REJ. 16:78

Not many know of the store, but those who do swear by it. The shopkeeper can procure almost any book, they say. They review her store on google and yelp and get her recognition, which makes her happy. It means that she can provide a well-kept home for her child, and even slide some money towards her coven when they need.

The shop mostly caters to the local witch community, but non-witches are of course welcome. If they weren’t, she wouldn’t be doing so well.

Kassaran lives above the shop in an equally nice two-bedroom apartment. It’s old but kept in good condition. The wood trim is pristine, the tile in the entry way is clean, uncracked – even the clawfoot tub is polished and in good order. It’s the nicest place she’s lived in, and it’s hers. Hers and Ashokara’s, of course.

Every morning, she wakes, makes breakfast, rouses her daughter, and helps her ready for the school day. She then walks Ash to her school, only two blocks away. It’s run by another in the coven, but it’s not limited to just those in the coven. It generally caters to all the witch children within a ten-block radius. Witch children tend to need specific instruction, especially when their powers start making themselves known, and that age tends to vary. Ash hasn’t showed any signs yet, but Kass knows it’s coming. Her father may not have been a witch, but Kass can see inside of Ash, slowly uncoiling, getting ready to bloom.

Normally, after she drops Ash off at school, she returns to the shop, stocks it, and opens it up. Estelle doesn’t come by until later to help with the afternoon crowd, right when Kass has to be a mom and help Ash after school.

It’s just a regular day. Until she steps down the stoop with Ash in toe only to see main door to the building next hers open. There is a U-Haul parked on the street, back doors flung open.

“Kitty!” Ash declares happily, pointing up to the cat sitting on the top of the railing by the door. The cat turns its head towards Ash. Kass swears the creature smiles before letting out a friendly chirp of a meow.

“Yes, that’s a kitty, a very pretty kitty. Okay, say bye to the kitty! Bye, kitty!” Kass says, trying to hurry Ash along.

Ash waves, “Bye-bye, kitty!” She lets Kass direct her down the steps, and they’re off to school.

They thankfully make it by a slim two-minute margin, but not late is not late. When Kass returns to her shop and home, the cat is still outside, sitting happily on the railing. Kass arches a brow at the cat before walking inside her shop, ready to start her day.

First, she has to stock the shipments that came yesterday. It’s regular stock, which means it goes on the shelves. Irregular stock, meaning banned and magical books are kept in the basement level, and that’s only open to the coven and a select few other customers who meet her requirements. The door to the basement is warded heavily from any would be intruders.

The shop opens at nine, and is open until seven, eight for the witches.

She is halfway through stocking the shop when the ceiling rattles above her. The wall shakes, and she can hear the moving of heavy furniture. It reminds her that she needs to boost her soundproofing charms. She is just about to ignore it when one of the keys on her ward board starts to glow blue. Foreign magic but not hostile magic, and the key indicates that it’s close. The thumps become more rhythmic and Kass can guess what is happening.

She still has fifteen minutes until the store is supposed to open, so she heads over to the building next to hers. It’s an old flower shop, long abandoned since its previous owner was ousted by a coven in the city. Not Kass’s coven, they’re not interested in the investigation of magic, they’re more of a self-policing group. The lettering on the glass is still there, though.

GLASS STREET FLOWERS est. REJ. 16:22

The doors are open, and the cat is still there, now watching Kass closely with its sharp steel blue eyes. That is no ordinary cat. It’s not a familiar either.

Before she can question the cat, however, a heavily pregnant elf appears in the door. They appear winded after climbing down the stairs and before she can think it through, she’s stepping down her stoop.

“Hello! You must be a new neighbor. Would you like any help moving things in? Those stairs can be quite the pain.”

They stop in the doorway, tall and elegant, even with what looks to be a late pregnancy belly.

“I have it handled,” they reply in a smooth voice. They step down the stoop and go to the truck. The cat follows them on the railing, still watching Kass.

“It’s really no trouble. When I was pregnant with my daughter, moving up those stairs was horrific.” She approaches the van and moves to help them with what looks to be a heavy desk.

They turn and levy a sharp gaze at her.

“I have it handled,” they say, more stern. Kass nods and takes a step back.

“Alright, I don’t mean to step on your toes. If you need help, I’m next door. I own and operate the bookstore.” She drops her voice low, “I also cater to special, like-created people, understand?”

They watch her for a moment then nod.

“Okay, then, um, I’m Kass, by the way. Welcome.” She waves and heads back into her store. She needs to finish stocking and then open.

After she stocks the shelves, Kass flips the sign on the door and waits for the customers. Ten minutes later the bell rings and in walks a familiar elf.

“Welcome to Olde Books! Let me know if I can help you find anything,” she says cheerfully. They wander the store before walking up to the counter.

“You can call me Melarue, and I…would like to take you up on your offer, if it still stands.” They keep their eyes averted and voice low, though she wonders if the low voice is just out of habit. Witches, especially lone witches, do all sorts of things to keep a low profile, even in cities with a low Templar presence.

Kass nods and walks out from around the counter, “Yes, it does.” She gestures for them to follow her in the stock room in the back. “I have to move heavy boxes a lot, comes with owning the store. I have this crème I made, it helps with strength.” Kass pops open a drawer in the desk she keeps back there, removing the crème from inside. It isn’t the best smelling crème, but it’s not offensive either as she slathers it over her hands and forearms. She offers the crème to Melarue who runs a few safety incantations over it.

It’s not insulting, she expects it, really. Witches need to be careful, particularly pregnant ones. After their spells come up with negative on anything harmful, they lather the lotion into their hands and arms, just as Kass had done.

Together they walk back to Melarue’s van. Kass does most of the lifting, maneuvering the heavy desk out of the van and up into their new apartment. It’s identical to hers, the same two bedrooms, the same bathroom, same everything. The wood floors are in slightly better condition, though, fewer scratches. That will probably change after they have their baby and the little nugget starts walking.

“Where do you want it?” She asks.

They wave to the second bedroom but before she can put it there, they stop her, “Wait, no, that’s the baby’s room. The other bedroom, please.”

She heads into the room, plops the desk down, then moves it into where she has her desk. It maximizes space, she’s redone her room for space three times, and the current configuration is the best one.

“It’s alright, it didn’t really sink in that I was having a baby until labor.” It’s so strange to be in the sparse version of her apartment, what a vision to see it free of toys and clothes and the various plants she keeps. Her apartment was like this, once, when she first moved in. She was in her second trimester, alone, but blessedly free.

Shokrakar had found the building for her, had put in a loan for both the shop and the apartment. It took Kass a couple years to pay her back, but she eventually did. Now the apartment and shop are completely hers, she’s truly free. Though by the time she paid the coven back, she didn’t want to leave.

Melarue has managed to buy it all by themselves. That’s commendable. But she knows what it’s like to be pregnant, alone, and in a new place.

“I didn’t know what I was going to name my daughter until I had her in my arms and the name just came to me,” she continues. They watch her, brow arched in a calculating thinly veiled nervous manner.

“I asked you to help me move in, I don’t need the lecture.”

They are worried and defensive and Kass gets it. It’s why she doesn’t take it personally.

“Alright, um. I need to get back to my store, but I have an assistant coming in around one, I can help you some more around then, does that work for you?” She keeps her tone light and easy, sweet. She’ll call Shokrakar later, tell her about the newcomer.

“That’s fine. Thank you for the desk.” They shout her out and she waves as she heads aback over to the shop. There are a couple people in there and she greets them before helping with their purchases.

Melarue. An uncommon name for the Free Marches. For anywhere, she guesses. Then again, many witches have unusual names, many choose new names. Some places have more Templars than others and changing names can help cut the connecting string between incidents in different cities.

The cat isn’t their familiar, but still concerning. She’ll have to tell them to make sure the cat and Kass’s familiar don’t get into a weird territory thing. Duul isn’t an aggressive rabbit, but she can be…difficult. Such is Luck.

Kass manages the store until Estelle arrives. She’s a nice girl, new to the coven. High school drop out turned runaway turned now back at school where she’s safe from the people who hurt her.

“Watch the shop for me? We have a new neighbor and I promised them I’d help out.”

Estelle shrugs, munching on her carrot sticks, “Sure. No one comes in except Smelly George ‘round this time anyways.”

“Good, good – his sandwich is in the kitchen by the way,” she says before heading out to go help Melarue. She finds them upstairs, trying to lug what must be a forty-pound box into the kitchen. She bends down and hauls it up, letting them fall back on their butt and lean against the wall for support.

“You know if you do too much you could make yourself go into early labor.”

“I don’t need the lecture,” they snap. Kass turns to them, eyebrows raised.

“My apologies, just trying to help,” she says. She sets the box down in the kitchen and begins to unpack the cauldron set. Witches need more than one big cauldron, the big one, the one that goes into a fireplace, is only used for potions that either need that many ingredients or a potion that will have many imbibers. Smaller pots with engravings are usually more practical for the lone witch. Kass sets them in a lower cabinet. They’re heavy and it’s better to lift a heavy object up than try to safely maneuver it down, especially when pregnant.

She heads back out and down the stairs to the truck. There’s an old table covered with runes, but that’s it. No other furniture, which means that they don’t have a bed or a sofa or a crib. Kass frowns and lugs the deceptively heavy table up the stairs.

“Where do you want this?”

They gesture to the kitchen, “Under the window, please.” She does as they request and returns to them.

“Do...do you need a bed or a crib? I can make a few calls –

“No,” they shake their head, “There’s a truck coming with furniture I ordered. Thank you for the offer, though.”

“Good, good, feel free to come get me when they come, I can help –

“I paid for them to move it, it is no trouble.”

Kass can hear the brush off. She gets it. Accepting help, especially when you’re used to being alone is not easy. Terrifying even.

“I’m here if you need anything,” she says. Whether they take the offer or not is up to them, but something tells her that they’ll take it. Eventually, on their own time, not when they’re feeling too bad about it or too cautious.

She leaves them to their apartment, checks in with Estelle, then goes to pick Ash up from school.

When they come back, Melarue’s cat is on the railing again.

“Hi, kitty!” Ash waves.

The cat mrows back at her. A new witch in the neighborhood, what a delightful surprise.

Inquisitor ask prompt: 1 to 40

send in a number to receive an answer!

Holy shit, the whole thing?! Okay, but let me excuse that I am quite bad with words. Really bad ‘cause I am better in expressing things with drawing so: the answers will be quite short x’D_______________

1. what is your inquisitor’s name & race?Is name is Sam'ael and he is a dalish elf. :32. what is their sexual orientation?Bisexual, or to be more specific so called pan-sexual. (I am not that informed about all the titles of human orientations but I guess that’s the right iI intent.)3. what do they look like? (add screenshots, drawings, descriptions!)InGame that way:

in my drawings, which are quite new kind of this way:

4. how did they feel about being called “the herald of andraste”? Confused at first, cause god-topics where always quite difficult for him. For the image of the inquisition and the trust of the normal ppl he let them belive that. Sam'ael told the same to Josie as it got an issue in the game.

5. what are their religious beliefs, if they have any? He grew up with the dalish ones so that’s more like “used to it” than actually beliving in it. He likes to proof things to himself than be told from others ;’D

6. what is their opinion on the mage/templar war? Neither did behave the right way. As he has a kind of fascinating interest in magic, as a non-mage, he stands up for mages but knows be teached proper and being watched is important too. The actually oppression bothers him a lot.

7. who is your inquisitor’s best friend?Surly he already has one in the clan of himself, but after the happenings at Haven I guess Varric suits to be a great friend and is! Next to him is Sera - her jokes and pranks keeps him alive to all the serious shit.

8. who is their rival? Non, I guess. He’s just doing his job he got more or less and makes the best of.Sometimes he is in competition with Sera who got the most arrows in s.o. face. :’D

9. who is their love interest, if they chose one? do you ship them with anyone else/non-romanceable options? Canon: He enjoys the way with Bull. As he said, in bed it is his chance to let go the stress, pressure and responsibility and be handled in trusted hands.Non-canon: Solas. I ship him hardcore with chuckles. (too bad, Bioware chanced his bi-personality.) >_

10. warrior, rogue, or mage? Rogue! Old habits stay.

11. how do they feel about the dalish? He was born dalish, grew up dalish, is dalish. He agrees not with all their manner and ways of doing, but has a special interest in their history (what is remained) even there are some points he is confused with and seeks more knowledge. Great he breefly get to know the elf mage :’>

12. how do they feel about the qun? Be free to decide for himself is important. So he would be bothered to be guided under the Qun, but he does not questioning others way of life. Until it effects himself in a negative way.

13. how do they feel about the chantry? Same content like 5) and 12). He wants to decide for himself, not ruled by others over his way of life or be told how to live. Other’s way is not his way unless he got bothered negativly.

14. which demon is most frightening to them?The huge spider-fear grossed him out, but he also fears the ones who actually can manipulate his mind so they seem not dangerous at all unless it is too late.So I guess the desire demon can also become a probem for him?

15. did they choose the qun or the chargers in iron bull’s personal quest? why? Well, in my first run I played as myself and just looked what will happen by different decisions. The second way I got quite attached to Bull so I could not bear his lost to his dear chargers. Even that means no deal with the Qun-guys. Simply empaty-feelings.

16. when are they the happiest? Little moments. Be at a card game evening, a drinking evening with companions, brainstorming about current quests or listening to others story and feeling like needed, valued by others.

17. how do they feel about the mark/the anchor?Really unsure what will happen with it during the main events. It slightly burns, biting his nerves. He often consultes Solas for advice and help even it is just being told everthing is fine atm.

18. upon first meeting cole, were they afraid of him?Not at all. He saw the breach, the upcoming hodes of demons. So it is more like a “Why still wonder about it”-happening. xD

19. did they use the templars or the mages to close the breach?Mages.

20. what was their court approval like at the winter palace? did they have any fun at all? I got nearly 100, as I remember. As he is absolutly not used to such events, he was amused by all the redicolous little “games” of these orlesian nobels. Whitout his companions there he would had messed up the whole thing, I am sure. xDThe food and the drinks were for free therefore he went there with “fuck it.” in his mind.

21. someone is encroaching on their love interest. how do they respond?with Bull/Solas: Grinning all the time while responding in criptic answers or counter questions. The uglier it gets, to more he can get mean with.

22. what is their favourite weapon? The bow with lyrium-crystals on it.

23. are there any creatures in the wild that they refuse to/are reluctant to kill? why?If it is not nessessary than no one, tbh. Sometimes he aims wrong and get the attention of an unharmful one. He can run like a devil just to get out of sight. xD

24. what is their opinion on blood magic? would they ever use it, if given the chance?Magic as all the other forms like fire or thunder. He is no mage so he never can try it.

25. what is their favourite place within playable regions?The emerald graves for its calm and beauty. ♥ But old, abbadoned, dark and gloomy regions like chestwood or the fallow mire excites him quite too much too. ô_o

26. did they feel suspicious of dorian upon first meeting him, because of his tevinter heritage? yes, but he did not throw his prejudices of The Imperium in his face and made his own image of him, the person itself, and his doing after he joins the Inquisiton. Thankfully to a better way and the conclusion: everywhere there are good and bad ppl - does not matter which common view is given.

27. as a whole, how do they feel about tevinter + the imperium?Dorians impulse about changing his homeland improves his view towards Tevinter. Its potential if it is ruled by a new generation of thinking. The past cannot be chanced, but the future. And there lies Sam'aels hopes. Nevertheless the whole slavery-culture and arrogant missleading use of magic pissed him off.

28. did they encourage cullen to continue taking lyrium, or to stop? for what reasons?He encouraged him to take lyrium till the war ends. Afterwards he would help him to get rid of it. Cause the storage is filled for the Inquisition and he needs to be lucid.

29. does it bother them to sleep in tents when on the road with the inquisition?It is truly not that comfortable, after he got to enjoy the comfort of an real bed. But he knows this way from his traveling with the Lavellan-clan, so actually not.

30. are they an optimist, a pessimist, or neutral? A realist, with salty humor for bad situations. xD

31. if varric wrote a book about your inquisitor, how would they feel about that?He read his “Tale of the Champion” so he would be not surprised. But Sam'ael would doubt it will seen as real chronicle of his story ‘cause he knows the common view towards elves.

32. do they get along with vivienne? Yes, he shares the view of mages and their need to be proper teached and watched. Viv, being the new divine suits his idea quite good. (He got caught calling others “darling” or “dear” by accident. Oh boi.)

33. are they afraid of anything specifically?The world blaming him for anything if things will go wrong and his clan slaughtered in an act of rage because of it.

34. what was their reaction to the destruction of haven?Shame, guilty and huge pressure. But he shows strength for the others who survived, as doing penance for it.

35. how do they feel about “the game”? Ridicolous wasting time, ‘cause he is unable to do so. He preferes the direct and honest way, but enjoys watching his companions who are quite good in it.

36. are they especially protective of certain inquisition members, even those capable of defending themselves? Yes, for The Iron Bull (cause canon love-buddy) and Solas (massive hidden crush).

37. do they like their skyhold pajamas? Yes, especially the blue version of it!

38. are there any insults they find to be especially offensive? (i.e. “knife ear”/”rabbit” for elves, “oxmen” for qunari, ect.) They ARE offensive but he does have enough names to yell at humans or other races if he’s in rage. xD

39. if varric gave them a nickname, what would it be? I would let decide a Varric-RPer in this matter. :P(Edit:) It is Silver!

40. do they enjoy being the inquisitor? Well, he has no choice in it. It brings a kind of influence which serves good in some situation and Sam'ael knows it. But as he got the anchor it was obvious it will lead to this title. All he does is just his job, bringing an end to all this mess. He just hopes his trusted ones sees him as the same normal person he just is and not the title._______________Thank you so much for giving me the chance creating details of my lovely elf boi Sam'ael. It was a good training for me! ♥

So what do you think are anders best traits (other than him worrying about mage rights and him being a compassive healer?) I really love him and I love the way you write about him so I'm just curious.

There’s a lot I love about him :0

I mean, on a personal level, he’s a really relatable character for me, so that’s part of why I like him so much.

But I also like him as a character in general. (I’ll put this post under a cut bc it got long.)

Him being a compassionate healer and being incredibly passionate about mage rights are huge parts of his character and they’re honestly two of the biggest things that make me like him so much.

Like, here’s a person who was subject to systemic abuse for most of his life, who knows full well the repercussions of rebelling against the status quo, but does it anyway, because his convictions are just that strong. He knows that the Circle and the Chantry are fundamentally wrong. He’s experienced and witnessed firsthand what happens to people who fight back. Hell, when we meet him Awakening, he’s only just recently been released from a year of solitary confinement for running away - he just got out and as soon as he was able to, he ran again. If he gets caught and sent back to the Circle again, he’s going back into solitary confinement at the very least, and by the time he’s in Kirkwall, he’s also possessed by a spirit, so he’s risking just being killed outright. He’s risking everything by fighting back so openly and actively, but he does it anyway.

And it’s not just Justice’s presence that makes him so willing to fight. Even when he was running, he was fighting back, because by constantly running away, he was refusing to submit. But in Awakening, Anders did feel like he couldn’t have any impact on the status quo - he believed that things would change eventually, he believed that the way mages are treated is inherently and fundamentally wrong and one day things would be different, but he didn’t think he’d ever see it in his lifetime, and he didn’t believe he of all people could do anything to enact change. Justice helped him realize that he could be an agent of change, but that fire and that strong sense of right and wrong were already there - it just needed to be validated and encouraged, which Justice did for him.

And I do like that Anders needed support to be able to get to that point, bc I feel like that’s... realistic, y’know? I don’t like the idea that everyone should have to fend for themselves and not have to rely on others to stand up and fight. He couldn’t do it alone, and there’s nothing wrong with that. He hasn’t gotten much support from others throughout his life, so I like that in this instance, he had someone to lean on. (And I still wish there were more opportunities to support him more actively in DA2.)

Like, it was difficult for Anders to admit to those feelings of powerlessness - which is entirely understandable, because in his experience, showing that kind of vulnerability could get him killed or worse (if the templars considered a mage to be weak-willed, they might not even give them a chance at the Harrowing and just make them Tranquil outright - and Anders is canonically mentally ill, which I imagine added an extra burden in terms of hiding his vulnerability). So, outwardly, he talked a big talk about only being concerned with his own freedom and pretends to be more apathetic and careless than he actually is.

This also shows a lot in terms of his sense of humor - it’s a lot of morbid sarcasm, irreverent joking, gallows humor even - because he uses it as a shield and a coping mechanism. Ngl, I love that aspect of him, it’s one of the things that started endearing him to me in Awakening first. I play my Hawke as having a similar sense of irreverent, snarky humor, so they play well off of one another. Humor as a coping mechanism is a character trait I tend to appreciate and relate to a lot, haha.

Anyway, I think in actuality he cares so much it hurts. It might not seem like it when we first meet him in Awakening, but I think it’s just that it’s easier and psychologically safer for him to pretend he doesn’t care than it is to admit that he does care but feels powerless to change things. It takes a lot of strength (and also support from others, which again, is something that Anders hasn’t had much of throughout most of his life) to be able to confront your own vulnerability and try to channel it into something that benefits others.

But even in Awakening, his actions often contradicted the “I don’t care about anyone but myself” talk - if you tell him to run away in the beginning of the game, he’ll do so, but he shows back up like five minutes later because he felt like he couldn’t leave the Warden to fight the darkspawn alone (he jokes about being “bad at the whole ‘fugitive from justice’ thing”, which... turns out to be way more accurate than he may even realize in that moment). In the endgame, he’s not eager to go along with the Warden to Amaranthine, but if you do bring him, he’s one of the companions who will argue against leaving Amaranthine to burn - his instincts might tell him to run, but he cares too much about the survivors in Amaranthine to leave them to their fate.

Not to mention, canonically, spirit healers are kinda rare. They derive a lot of their power from spirits of compassion, which means earning spirits’ trust and cooperation. A person who isn’t compassionate probably wouldn’t be able to earn that cooperation of a spirit of compassion in the first place. Not to mention his interest in being a healer in general - it’s a big part of his identity, to the point where in DA2, one of the things he worries most about is not being able to heal anymore because he’s so afraid that he or Justice will accidentally hurt one of his patients.

I think a lot of his attachment to the healer role is also tied up in his own internalized belief that he has to be a Good Mage in order to deserve freedom - it seems contradictory, it’s something that goes against his stated principles, mages shouldn’t have to prove themselves and be ‘good’ mages according to the Chantry’s fucked up doctrine to deserve freedom and life and love, but he lived in the Circle for at least half his life and he definitely internalized a lot of the hateful messages they taught about mages. Fighting against those teachings is a constant battle for him - which also ties into his occasional crises of faith, because he’s an Andrastian and all the spiritual authorities in his life have taught him that he’s a non-person, that he’s inherently sinful and cursed and deserving of subjugation because he’s a mage.

So, he has a lot of moments of self-doubt. He has a lifetime of trauma and abuse that affect his present well-being. He has a lot of self-loathing and a lot of fear of himself (the latter esp after merging with Justice). He doesn’t see himself as worthy of love or care, even if he talks passionately about how mages deserve those things - he often doesn’t give himself the same consideration that he’s willing to give others. He has an incredibly complicated relationship with his own anger - because his anger is totally and completely justifiable, but it scares him, because he associates rage and anger with demons and loss of control. (I think a big source of the conflict btwn he and Justice is how they differ re: embracing and accepting anger. For Justice, that anger is righteous fury, it’s justified, it’s a source of passion and change. For Anders, it’s a source of fear and insecurity a lot of the time. I think a lot of their miscommunication is rooted in that fear.)

But Anders works himself half to death trying to help as many people as he can for as long as he can, and even though he’s barely making a dent in all the suffering he sees in the world, even though he’s risking everything, he just keeps going, because that’s how strongly he believes and that’s how much he cares. Every mage he helps escape the Gallows, every patient he helps in his clinic is worth it to him. That kind of perseverance in the face of hopelessness and doubt and a world set against you is really admirable to me.

And I also like how clear it is that it doesn’t come easy to him. It’s not just some inspiration porn “you can do anything you set your mind to if you just try :)” thing. He stumbles a lot. He fails a lot. He spends most of DA2 in a constant state of anxiety and desperation (esp since he really doesn’t get much support from the people closest to him, except like… Justice and Hawke, if you play Hawke in a supportive role). He’s idealistic, but he can’t help but dip into periods of hopelessness and depression and doubt - partly because he has a mood disorder, partly because that’s just… expected for someone who’s seen as much shit as he has. His life is messy and he’s tired and it shows. But even when he’s running, he’s fighting. Sometimes, survival is in itself a form of rebellion and he’s a walking example of that. He is stubborn and although sometimes it’s a negative, it also has its perks. And that passion doesn’t just manifest as rage - it’s also love, because lbh, he is a hopeless romantic (in a dorky, endearing way at times) and in his romance route he loves Hawke fiercely.

It’s a shame that he didn’t get more positive character development in DA2 (it’s no secret how resentful I am toward the writers, he and Justice really deserved better). I headcanon him over time learning how to communicate and coexist with Justice; learning to practice self-care and be kinder to himself; more fully accepting that he has a right to be angry and he doesn’t have to prove that he’s deserving of personhood or love.

And he has a fair amount of flaws for sure - he has a tendency to project his insecurities onto others (e.g. Merrill), he’s not a good ally to other marginalized groups (e.g. elves), he sometimes lashes out at others when they don’t deserve it (which, although I understand why he behaves that way, it still isn’t fair to others who are on the receiving end), he was manipulative in the ‘Justice’ quest (I understand his motivations but despite his intentions it wasn’t acceptable behavior) - but I think he has an ability to better himself in those areas and I like to headcanon that personal growth for him. (That’s not to say I want him to be a flawless character - nobody’s perfect, and a flawless character would be pretty flat and unrealistic, but I also like when characters are allowed to have personal growth in a positive direction.)

I guess, in all, he’s an interesting, likable, and relatable character for me - I wish the writers treated him better, I have a lot of criticisms wrt how he (and Justice) were written (including how Anders was treated as a bipolar character), and I’m also willing to criticize him where it’s deserved (I have a whole tag full of meta w/ my criticisms of him) - but overall he’s one of my faves.

Tbh the reason why DA2 is my fave game in the series (despite all of my criticisms of the writing in it, esp Act 3) is the characters. Hawke is my favorite protag and DA2 has probably my favorite companion group - like, Anders, Merrill, Fenris, Isabela, and Varric are some of my fave characters in the whole series - so the characters are ultimately what make me like that game.

I Just Lost Cole...

So in my quest to experience a new worldstate I've never used for a DAI playthrough using an entirely throwaway Inquisitor, I accidentally created a character I like. Her name is Ceda, she’s an elf, and she almost always chooses the more serious/almost-aggressive options. To me she has thus far come across as practical, blunt, and emotionally disinterested in making friends. She takes her job seriously and keeps her feelings to herself. And she doesn’t agree with people just to get their approval. So, in an honest playthrough thus far, Iron Bull is the only one who’s really approved of her attitude and actions. With that in mind, I wasn’t exactly expecting her to make a lot of friends.

But I just lost Cole (after playing Champions of the Just and allying with the templars) and it blindsided me. I mean, Ceda’s cold in conversation, not very diplomatic, and she doesn’t care to beat around the bush, but I wasn’t playing her to be cruel. And yet…

I know that Cole greatly disapproves of allying with the templars, so that started us off on some rocky footing, and, as per her usual tendency, Ceda didn’t welcome him to Skyhold with open arms or positive approval dialogue choices because that’s just not how she does things. So I suspect they never really moved past that initial disapproval from Champions of the Just.

Add to that my decision in Here Lies the Abyss, which was to allow the Wardens to remain and serve the Inquisition because that’s what I genuinely prefer to do, and I decided that Ceda would feel it practical to keep experts on slaying darkspawn around in case a large group of darkspawn (like in western Orlais) needed to be dealt with. She may also have been a bit arrogant in assuming that she and the Inquisition would be able to handle the Wardens should Corypheus get a hold over them again.

Of the decision to let the Wardens remain in Orlais and join the Inquisition, Cole greatly disapproved again.

So there we have it: two doses of “greatly disapproves” and nothing much else. Ceda has not concerned herself with choosing diplomatic dialogue options, nor has she done much to go out of her way and talk to people about anything other than the Inquisition. Beyond “how are your people doing”, “what do you make of the people you work with”, and “is there anything I should know” she hasn’t been big on the chatting.

I think that those two huge disapproval moments, plus the lack of Ceda talking to Cole and choosing options in dialogue that would earn even slight approval to soften his disposition toward her, ultimately led to Cole’s leaving the Inquisition. At the end of the day, I didn’t have Ceda talk to him enough or help out NPCs in the Hinterlands enough to earn back even a bit of that lost approval. In hindsight it makes sense.

In the moment, though, I was shocked as hell because I legitimately didn’t think I was that close to the low disapproval scene for Cole.

And then the shock passed and I found myself frustrated and annoyed. Because, in my attempt to roleplay a character as accurately to what she was becoming over the course of the playthrough as possible, the game interpreted a socially cold and distant personality as morally unfeeling. And that’s just not true of Ceda. The way I’ve been envisioning and trying to play her, she believes that focusing on the Breach instead of every individual sob story they come across is the best strategy for restoring some semblance of peace to Thedas. But apparently, the game decided that she instead didn’t like helping people. So, in one sense, I have this feeling of being cheated by a game with limited and linear programming that is designed a certain way, and which favors certain paths over others. (I’m reminded of the Paragon v. Renegade paths in Mass Effect) This is not the first time BioWare has done this, (nor will it be the last, I suspect) and it annoys me now as much as it did before.

But on the other hand, a surprisingly fantastic character moment just emerged from this, and there seems to be an interesting opportunity for growth and development here. For both Cole and Ceda. On Cole’s part, from a narrative perspective, he greatly misinterpreted Ceda’s character in this moment because she has not thus far projected any of the warmth that he normally tries to when helping people; she hasn’t given herself or her efforts to compassion toward individuals as Cole would have preferred, and instead directed her focus and actions to more of a “larger picture” plan by making calls that she knew not many people would like, but that she felt were best for all involved.

Like allying with the templars to avoid fostering resentment and division amongst Inquisition members and the templars who would technically have been prisoners had she not given them equal status. Or allowing the Wardens to remain and aid the Inquisition because their talents were useful, and if they wanted to see that as an opportunity to atone, then so be it. She knows what it is to fudge up and want to fix things.

To Cole (and many others) this was opportunistic, ruthlessly pragmatic, and led him to believe that Ceda was willing to brush their crimes under the rug because she thought their usefulness outweighed the pain they’d caused others. And that made Ceda, in his eyes, the Wrong Person to be Working With.

To Ceda, those decisions were the best ways for her to help people in the long run. They allowed the Inquisition to bolster its forces, and allowed her to keep close and constant watch over other organizations that messed up and helped cause the whole mess in the first place. If accused of being ruthlessly pragmatic, she would agree and ask how that’s bad. If accused of not wanting to help people and brushing crimes under the rug, she would stiffen up and demand to know how before preparing a rebuttal.

Because despite Cole’s accusations, and despite their different approaches to the same thing - helping Thedas - Ceda was and is trying, and Cole isn’t entirely correct in his claim that she doesn’t like to help people. She doesn’t go about it the best way all the time, and she certainly could work more on compromising, but her intentions are similar to his. I haven’t decided much of her backstory (honestly I hadn’t intended to because her initial purpose was to allow me to try out a different worldstate for her playthrough) so I don’t know as much about her motivations and beliefs as I do for my other OCs, but I know that she has morals and holds to them proudly. I know that she wants to stop the Breach and doesn’t particularly care for the power that comes with leading the Inquisition, though she knows that she can and should make use of it. I also know that she’s no saint and that she is capable of stubbornness, arrogance, and - yes - ruthless pragmatism. But it’s the complex relationship between all these things that I would rather focus on instead of failing to meet the game’s black and white standards of morality.

For Cole, this could be a moment of coming face to face with the complexity and nuanced nature of mortals. Part of what frustrated me about Cole’s accusation of Ceda was that it came from a character who can literally see into the minds of others, and if that’s the case, then he should be able to see into Ceda’s mind and know that she, at the very least, isn’t a coldhearted monster who’s willing to let all the innocent people die and all the crimes go unpunished to achieve her own goals. This is a limitation of the game and programming, I understand, but I like to imagine that narratively, Cole does more thinking about the odd contradictions he sees in Ceda’s mind and actions, and that it leads him to a more nuanced view of her as an individual, and of the mortal mind/nature in general.

For Ceda’s part, this could be a moment of development because it forces her to confront and acknowledge how people see her and interpret her actions. In Cole’s case, it was negatively, and she lost a valued member of the Inquisition because of it. It wasn’t enough of a wake-up call to have her begging him to stay (I played the scene in-character for her, and she basically allowed him to go without putting up a fight because it’s not her place to force people to stay when they don’t want to; plus she doesn’t want someone there when they’re unwilling anyway) but I headcanon it as being enough to impress upon her the potential consequences of miscommunication and a lack of transparency on her part when it comes to her own goals for the Inquisition and her principles regarding the decisions she has to make.

I also think that it could get her to start thinking more about her own place in the Inquisition and what it would take to actually open herself more to dissenting opinions and learn to compromise a bit. Especially if it remains a part of her narrative canon that Cole made her forget and she’s not entirely sure where these thoughts are coming from, only that there’s some vaguely distressed and perplexed part of her mind that won’t let up about it.

Ultimately, I think I’m going to roll with this loss for the rest of the playthrough, and see what happens. It might be that Ceda will feel compelled to act a bit more diplomatically and with more concern for how others respond to her actions in the future, I don’t know. But regardless I’m too attached to the potential story that could go along with this unexpected development to go back and meta-game it away.

Besides, I liked how the scene concluded with Cullen basically coming out to say, “You okay, boss?” as Ceda had some trouble maintaining composure after Cole made her forget. I thought it was sweet of Cullen, and also the timing was perfect because Ceda had just finished berating him for not telling her about his decision to stop using lyrium (because she saw that as potentially compromising the Inquisition’s forces if the withdrawal got too bad), and declaring that she didn’t care what decision he made so long as he did his job. I headcanon that she also declared that Cullen would be deferring to her judgment as well as Cassandra’s because she doesn’t trust Cassandra to remain unbiased when assessing Cullen’s condition. So, basically, this was a nice little turnabout moment that I enjoyed. Kill her with kindness, Cullen! (Say that ten times fast.)

The Hub of World Evil: The British Deep State

Throughout history, evil has always been controlled from a single center. Those who propagate wars and massacres are acting under a chain of command and are following the plans originated from a single center. There is only one hub responsible for the great wars of the 20th century, the colonization, the massacres, the division of the Middle East and Africa and of economic crises. Evil is like an octopus with lots of tentacles; our eyes tend to focus on the most active tentacle first. However, there is a brain which directs all these tentacles. The tentacles move with perfect coordination towards a single goal on the commands of the brain. The fact that tentacles seem to move independently is just an illusion – all these tentacles are under the control of a single brain. Moreover, evil is a pyramid-like hierarchical structure. No matter how wide a base it has or how many hundreds of layers it is made of, there is only one point at the top, and this point has absolute authority over what is underneath.

It is impossible to get results in the fight against evil by merely focusing on the tentacles of the octopus or targeting the lower levels of the pyramid. We should put up an intellectual fight against the top who controls, manages, and commands the system and makes the final decision. Exposing this aforementioned hub should be at the core of this intellectual fight, because this power is only effective as long as it can confuse others and hide itself as it utilizes all the shameful advantages of secrecy.

While talking about the leader of evil in the world today, many names are mentioned: the deep states of the United States and Israel which are frequently mentioned, bodies such as the United Nations, NATO or the EU, organizations such as the CIA, MOSSAD or Gladio, secret societies like the Illuminati, Freemasonry, Skull and Bones, the Rosicrucians, and the Templars, and those who control the world economy such as financial barons in the Wall Street, oil trusts and multinational corporations. But these are all the gears of this system. They are the tentacles of the octopus, the lower levels of the pyramid.

The British Deep State has been, on the other hand, at the top of this hierarchy for centuries. The British deep state is also the center of colonialism and slavery. China, India, Indonesia and Malaysia remained under the British yoke for centuries. It was also the British deep state who introduced opium to China, disciplined India with hunger, and terrorized most of Southeast Asia with the East India Company. Nowadays, the genocide carried out in India by the Britain of that period would not be remembered. The Britain of that period, which left 330 million people face to face with famine 150 years ago, caused the death of more than a million Indians.

It was the British deep state which destroyed the Ottoman Empire and occupied Anatolia. The founding cadre of communism was assembled in Britain. Marx and Engels’ The Communist Manifesto (original title of the first edition: Das Manifest der Kommunistischen Partei) that constitutes the keystone of Communism was first published in Britain. All the foundational theoretical texts of communism, including Das Kapital, were written there. Founders of liberalism, Adam Smith and David Ricardo, were British. Charles Darwin, who founded the ideological basis of social Darwinism that unleashed such horrors upon the world in the 20th century, was British.

The policies that forced the Middle East into a bloodbath are the work of the British Deep State. Most of the Middle Eastern nations were founded by Britain. The borders of the Middle Eastern countries were drawn up at the Cairo meeting presided over by Winston Churchill. Most of the administrators of the countries in question have been chosen by the British deep state. The men of the British Deep State – T.E. Lawrence, Gertrude Bell, General Allenby, Orde Wingate, Hubert Young, Sir Percy Cox, Herbert Samuel, etc. – found, trained, and authorized these people.

The vast majority of the cadre who ruled the Middle East in the 20th century were trained in British schools such as the Sandhurst Military Academy, SOAS, School of Oriental Studies, Exeter, Cambridge or Oxford, and were brought in to serve the plans of the British Deep State. Indeed there are countless honest, sincere, and good people who were trained in those schools. However, it is also clear that these schools are used as training centers by the British deep state.

Most of the founders of today’s radical terrorism were trained at the University of Al-Azhar. The Anglo-Saxon racist and evolutionist Lord Cromer, the Colonial Governor of Egypt, who made the Al-Azhar University what it was. Al-Azhar University, along with Muhammad Abduh, who was financed and supported by Lord Cromer, became the center of Social Darwinism in the Islamic world. These cadres are the ideologists of radical Islam. The system established by Lord Cromer came to influence the entire Islamic world within 30 years. This negative effect is the main cause of the present war environment.

The League of Nations was founded at the 1919 Paris conference controlled by Britain. The conference materialized the plans of Britain to a large extend. The British Deep State is also behind most of the UN resolutions and decisions. The chief architect of NATO, Gladio, and the EU, was British Prime Minister Churchill. The founders and the initial administrators were always British. These historical facts do not prove that these institutions or organizations act in a completely biased fashion. Undoubtedly, the UN provides numerous useful services, and every intelligence organization provides important services for its own country. However, this does not change the fact that the dark influence of the British deep state is present in the structuring of such institutions and organizations and in some of their decisions.

The British Deep State was behind the Mosaddegh coup d’état in Iran, the coups of 1960, 1971, 1980, 1998 and 2016 in Turkey, and the entire coup-filled recent history of Egypt, Syria and Iraq.

The CIA and MOSSAD, who allegedly rule the world today, were established and trained by MI6 staff, the British intelligence.

The American Federal Reserve Bank was founded by the Bank of England, as well. The Rothschild family, one of the leaders of the world economy, is based in Britain. George Soros was educated in Britain.

Five Eyes, the world’s largest surveillance system which was exposed by Edward Snowden, was founded in British-controlled Australia. In Five Eyes, US intelligence is joined by Canadian, New Zealand, British and Australian intelligence – all members of the British Commonwealth.

Karl Popper, the founding father of Soros’ Open Society movement, is British. Richard Dawkins, who is the flag-bearer of atheism in the 21st century, is British. One important thing should immediately be noted here: the British people are loving, friendly, beautiful and decent people. Exposing the structure of the British deep state will save the British people from this affliction that has hurt them for centuries as well.

Britain has historically invaded the entire world at some point except for 22 countries. Let us take a look at this map of invasion: Antigua and Barbuda, Australia, the Bahamas, Bangladesh, Barbados, Beliz, Botsvana, British Indian Ocean Territory, British Virgin Islands, Brunei… Cayman Islands, Gibraltar Christmas Islands, Cocos Islands, Cook Islands.. Dominica, Falkland Islands, The Gambia, Wales, Gana, Grenada, Guyana, South Africa, India, Scotland, Jamaica, Cameroon, Canada, Kenya, Kiribati, Northern Ireland, Kingdom of Leshotho… That is not all, there is more: Republic of Malawi, Maldives, Malaysia, Malta, Mauritius, Coral Islands, Montserrat, Mozambique; Namibi, Nauru, Nigeria, Norfalk Island. That is not all, there is still more; Papau New Guinea, Pitcairn Islands, Ross Dependency, St.Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Samoa, St. Helena, Seychelles, Sierra Leone, Singapour, Solomon Islands, Sri Lanka, Swaziland. There is still more; Tanzania, Tonga, Trinidad and Tobago, Tokelau, Turks and Caicos Islands, Tuvalu, Uganda, Vanuatu, New Zealand, Zambia. All these 52 countries are members of the British Commonwealth. Elections are held in some of these countries. Prime Ministers are being elected, but above all these elected administrators in some of these countries, there is still a Governor assigned by London. That means the UK is sending “GOVERNORS” to rule all these countries as if they are her counties. Elected governments make decisions, but put these decisions before the British Governor. The assigned Governor presents them to the Queen. The Queen says “Yes” or “No”.

The United States itself is a former British colony. The machinations of the British deep state led to the War of 1812, in which British forces briefly occupied Washington, D.C. and burned down the White House. The peace negotiations proceeded under British control after the First and the Second World Wars. It is also noteworthy that it is a veteran British intelligence agent who has been preparing counterfeit reports against President Trump.

Bernard Lewis, the mastermind of the Afghanistan and Iraq occupations, the Iran-Iraq War, the Iranian Revolution, the Red Crescent Project, the fragmentation of the Middle East, the Clash of Civilizations and the Age of Muslim Wars, is a British military intelligence officer. He taught at SOAS for 30 years. Lewis, who came to the United States on a spur-of-the-moment decision in 1974, has been the chief consultant for almost all US presidents regarding affairs in the Middle East since then. He is the educator of Kissinger, Brzezinski, Huntington and the recently famous neocons. He is the person who wrote US policies in the real sense.

Today, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Nigeria, Syria and Yemen, where terrorism has claimed the most lives, have been under British occupation. Osama bin Laden was educated in Britain. The GIA, which covered Algeria in blood, assembled its cadres in Britain. The most important gunmen of ISIS were soldiers from Britain.

ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Boko Haram, Al-Shabaab, FETO, Hezbollah, the PKK, the PYD, Asala, the DHKP-C, the Red Brigades and similar terrorist organizations all serve as the foot soldiers of the British Deep State. This structure brings bloodshed and tears everywhere it goes. The list goes on. To summarize, the last 300 years of human history have been covered with blood by the British deep state. Hundreds of millions of innocent people, including British people, have died at the hands of these racist, colonial, self-seeking, brutal, merciless killers. The greatest genocides of history have been carried out by the British deep state. The British deep state has caused great suffering for the British people as well.

On July 15th 2016, when the masks slipped off and true colors were revealed with the armed insurrection in Turkey, England dispatched thousands of soldiers in the Royal Air Force base in Southwest coasts of Cyprus 100 miles away from Turkey, and sent Royal Navy war ships to the Mediterranean, deploying hundreds of jets, helicopters supposedly to help about 50,000 UK citizens move away from danger. Soldiers were free to shoot at ‘local insurgents’ who would attempt to interfere with this operation. All these preparations made by England seem to be something other than an attempt to rescue citizens, and more like a calculated plan.

After Turkey’s relations with Russia – the only country to offer support to Turkey during that period – improved swiftly, the British Deep State was deeply troubled to realize that the three countries joining forces for the resolution process for Syria would bring peace and unity to the region. Then the UK, who was waiting on standby – ready to invade – during the coup attempt, started to display a supposedly ‘friendly’ and ‘candid’ attitude towards Turkey. Of course, having good relations with the people of the UK is important for Turkey. Yet the plots of the British Deep State are never for the good of Turkey nor her own people and have never been so.

No leader, no nation, no state can stand alone in the face of the machinations of such a structure that has been organized on this scale and penetrated the capillaries of other countries. It is the alliance of the good that will stop these vicious plans. Last year, the foundation of a strong and unshakable alliance between Russia and Turkey has been laid on the initiative of President Putin and President Erdoğan. The duty of everyone with a clean conscience who wants to save the world from the scourge of the British Deep State is to defend and support this alliance.

NDST3 GENE = SCIENTIFIC PROOF THAT ASHKENAZIS ARE PRONE TO VIOLENCE & PARANOIA

GENES UNLOCK MYSTERIES

Haaretz News reported: Scientists discover gene that predisposes Ashkenazi Jews to violence and paranoia. If true, this can explain the cause of much of the violence perpetrated by Israelis.

Click for Source Article on Scientific Proof of Gene Characteristic

“Now living in Israel, these elite Zionist Jews, who were well-trained in Nazi-style fascism and even favored it when they use it, and have imposed many facets of fascism on Palestinians and even gone further with Apartheid Prisons.

To give the impression that Israel is a democracy, members of the Knesset (Israel Congress) are elected via an extremely odd method. And this phony election is where Israel’s so-called democracy stops. Zionist Khazars rule all PARTIES including LIKUD, of course.

Ashkenazi Khazars make up over 95% of Israel’s population and have NO SEMITE GENES! The Ashkenazi have the NDST3 gene with a 40% higher probability (almost 3 times normal population) of developing schizophrenia and manic depression & those with the disease develop dark emotions and sometimes imagine hearing voices or seeing figures that do not exist. The 3 year study published in Nature Communications by Professor Ariel Darvasi, assistant dean of the Faculty of Life Sciences at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Todd Lencz from The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research in New York at cost of $2.1 Million shows a tendency to feel violent and that others are out to get them.

1214 AD A ring with a Menorah depiction was found in Kaiseraugst, Switzerland showing Jews were in the area even before Switzerland became a nation in 1291 AD. The Encyclopaedia Judaica mentioned a first documentation in 1214.

1291 Swiss Nation was founded by combining three areas (later called cantons) to form the original nation.

Click for Source Article on History of Jews in Switzerland

1294 AD In Bern many Jews of the city were executed and the survivors expelled for sacrificing a Christian boy.

1,300s AD The Old Swiss Confederacy grew to a loose confederation of many independent small states/cantons growing from the original three central Swiss states/cannons the Templars combined to form the Swiss Nation in 1291. This confederation of eight cantons (Acht Orte) was politically and militarily successful for more than a century, culminating in the Burgundy Wars of the 1470s which established it as a power among France and the Habsburgs.

1494 AD-1559 AD The Swiss made fortunes saving as PAID PRIVATE MERCENARIES around Europe. One case was being hired to fight in the Italian Wars for 65 years (1494-1559)

1513 AD Swiss Confederacy’s success resulted in the addition of more confederates, increasing the number of cantons to thirteen.

1620s Jews were banished from all Swiss towns.

1776 Two villages, Lengnau and Oberendingen, were set aside for Jews in the canton of Aargau. They were restricted to living in only Endingen and Lengnau. The village of Endingen never built a Christian church, only a Jewish synagogue. The local Christians traveled to neighboring villages for church. The Jewish residents were involved in trade and lending. Ashkenazis living in the Surb Valley once spoke a dialect of Western Yiddish, still found today in the region among mostly elderly Jews.

1798 AD The Swiss Confederacy fell to invasion by the French Revolutionary Army after which it became the short-lived Helvetic Republic.

1897 LITTLE Switzerland has Europe’s 10th-largest Ashkenazi population with Zurich having over 1/3 the population with 38 synagogues in the country. The first World Zionist Congress of 1897 was held in Basel and took place 10 times there, more than in any other place in the world. Basel also has a large Jewish population.

1798 the French under Napoleon I invaded Switzerland and set up the Helvetic Republic and reformers attempted to enforce the emancipation of the Jews in the new central Swiss Parliament in Aarau, but that failed.

1802-1803 The Swiss population revolted and turned against the Jews and looted the Jewish villages of Endingen and Lengnau in the “Plum war”. Napoleon seeking a peaceful resolution to the uprising, in 1803 issued the Act of Mediation compromise and no further rights were granted to the Jews.

1850s The village of Endingen had about 1,000 Ashkenazi inhabitants. And the Jewish population was fairly well tolerated, self-managed and maintained its own school.

1862 the Jewish community of Zürich (ICZ) was founded building a Synagoge in 1884.

1874 AD-1876 AD The right to settle freely was granted with the revised constitution of 1874 guaranteeing the freedom of religion. The Jews were granted full equality in civil rights and allowed to travel.

1898 AD-2000 AD Arnold A. Hutschnecker was born into a Jewish family. He read “Mein Kampf” and publicly referred to Hitler as a pig. Members of the SS who were among his patients warned him that he was in danger and he emigrated to the USA in 1936. He practiced as an internist and specialized in psychotherapy during the 1950s. In 1951 he published the bestseller “The Will to Live”. It was read by Richard Nixon who visited him frequently in 1952. They remained friends and Nixon still consulted him when he was president and the last time they met was in 1993 at the funeral of Pat Nixon. In 1970 Hutschnecker authored a report that suggested to test all children aged seven or eight to see if they had a violent nature. 1988 he stated that his report had suffered from ”malevolent distortion” by the media.

1911 The word “schizophrenia” was given to mental disease by Dr. Eugene Bluelery, a Swiss Psychiatrist dealing with Ashkenazis. Eugen Bleuler (1857-1939), was one of the most influential psychiatrists of his time and introduction of the term schizophrenia to describe the disorder previously known as dementia praecox. He described a group of diseases, the schizophrenias, including the splitting or fragmentation of the personality. Bleuler introduction autism, denoting the loss of contact with reality, frequently through indulgence in bizarre fantasy and paranoia. Bleuler followed the theories of Sigmund Freud and Bleuler’s assistant was Carl Jung. The symptoms of schizophrenia were recognized almost simultaneously by Blueler, Kraepelin, & Freud at a time when Jews were moving into the affluent middle class and they became clinically important when they began to intermingle with non-Jews. Schizophrenia is a disease that causes people to hear voices and feel mostly negative thoughts including rage boiling inside them. Mostly Schizophrenics began as some form of sociopath. Schizophrenia is a psychotic disorder impacting about 1% of the population in America. It is marked by severely impaired thinking, emotions, and behaviors. They have enhanced perceptions of sounds, colors, and other features of their environment. Most schizophrenics, if untreated, gradually withdraw from interactions with other people, and lose their ability to take care of personal needs and grooming. In the west, patients with schizophrenia fill about 25% of all psychiatric hospital beds. The disorder is considered to be one of the top ten causes of long-term disability worldwide. English term schizophrenia comes from two Greek words that mean “split mind” and was observed by a Swiss doctor named Eugen Bleuler, to describe the splitting apart of mental functions that he regarded as the central characteristic of schizophrenia.

The course of schizophrenia in adults can be divided into three phases or stages:

#1 Patient has an overt loss of contact with reality with psychotic episodes that requires intervention and treatment. #2 Initial psychotic symptoms are brought under control but the patient is at risk for relapse if treatment is interrupted. #3 Maintenance phase, the patient is relatively stable and can be kept indefinitely on antipsychotic medications, but relapses are not unusual and patients do not always return to full functioning.

Psychotherapists today classify schizophrenia into two main types.

#1 Positive schizophrenia, with a rapid (acute) onset of “positive” delusions and hallucinations and tend to respond well to drugs. #2 Negative schizophrenia, are usually described as poorly adjusted before their schizophrenia slowly overtakes them (perhaps as psychopaths) and experience mostly “negative” symptoms and tend to withdraw from others with a slowing of mental and physical reactions in a form of retardation.

1920 The Jewish population of Switzerland peaked at 21,000 and has remained steady ever since, perhaps due to name changes and intermarriage and aging.

1999 Ruth Dreifuss became the first Jewish president of Switzerland.

2000 Census for Switzerland shows 17,914 Jews. Among the Cantons of Switzerland, only Zurich, Basel-City, Geneva and Vaud have a Jewish community exceeding 1,000 people. One third of Swiss Jews reside in the Canton of Zurich (6,252 people).

1972 Schizophrenia was first discovered most significantly in Ashkenazis by Dr. Arnold A. Hutschnecker in research titled “Mental Illness, The Jewish Mental Disease.” Dr. Hutschnecker said that although ALL JEWS are not mentally ill, but mental illness is highly contagious & Ashkenazis are the principle source of infection (& carriers). Dr. Hutschnecker said that every Ashkenazi is born with the seed of Schizophrenia & it is this fact that accounts for the world-wide persecution of Jews. His quote: “the world would be more compassionate towards the Jews if it was generally realized that Jews are not responsible for their condition.” “While Jews attack non-Jewish Americans for racism, Israel is the most racist country in the world…Jews display their mental illness through their paranoia. He explains that the paranoia not only imagines that he(she) is being persecuted, but deliberately creates situations which will make persecution a reality…The Jew hope you will retaliate in kind & when you do, he can tell himself(herself), you are anti-Semitic (which they are not).” – Dr. Arnold A. Hutschnecker. Dr. Hutschnecker likened the Jewish needs to be persecuted to the kind of insanity where the afflicted person mutilates them-self because they want sympathy for them-self….such persons reveal their insanity by disfiguring themselves in such a way to arouse revulsion rather than sympathy. Dr. Hutschnecker noted that the incidence of mental illness has increased in the U.S. in direct proportion to the increases in the Jewish population since the early 1900s & in the 1970s…that prior to the influx of Jews from Europe, the U.S. was a mental healthy nation (practically free of schizophrenia). Dr. Hutschnecker said that research by Dr. S. Gottlieb of Wayne State University indicated that schizophrenia is caused by deformity in the alpha two – globulin protein, which in schizophrenics is a corkscrew–shape protein. The deformed protein is likely caused by an infection, like a virus. Dr. Hutschnecker believes, Jews transmit to non-Jews this infection when they came in close contact. He said that because descended from Western Europe people have not build-up an immunity to the virus they are particularly vulnerable to the disease. “There is no doubt in my mind…that Jews have infected the American population with schizophrenia. Jews are carriers of the disease & it will reach epidemic proportions unless science developed a vaccine to counteract it.” — Dr. Hutschnecker.

Obviously, this Ashkenazi schizophrenia and paranoia disease must be controlled! Many Ashkenazis are so consumed by paranoia & fear they cannot tell right from wrong and this is why their chosen first actions are always aggressive, vindictive, and usually dishonest.

1970s Dr. Hutschnecker quotes Dr. David Rosenthal, Chief of the Laboratory of Psychology at the National Institute of Mental Health (in Maryland USA), who estimated that 60+ million “people in the U.S. suffered from some form of schizophrenic spectrum disorder.” In 1953 the Laboratory of Psychology was established in Maryland. In 1970s, David Rosenthal’s tenure as Chief ended but he continued in the Neuropsychology Section until he retired. Note: We know B-vitamins are key to brain functions working properly, and the Ashkenazi diet may supply too little B-vitamins and this could lead to being open to infections that the rest of the population does not experience.

Materialisierte Psychose per Selbstbefruchtung

hannes 26/08/2017

https://annaschublog.com/2017/08/25/dna-analyse-israeliten-sind-nicht-die-juden-aus-dem-alten-testament/#comment-2850

Cooler Artikel,

Das läuft so auf maximale materialisierte Psychose per Selbstbefruchtung hinaus. Mit anschließenden Kollateralschäden aller. Die eingeleitete Selbstbeschädigung der eigenen „Kulturrasse“ muss dann aktiv/destruktiv per Macht und Technologien und verführter Selbstvernichtung an den anderen „Kulturrassen“nachvollzogen werden.

Satirisch ausgedrückt. Jeder geborene Jude müsste als Gefährder demnach in die prophylaktische Genanalyse und medizin. „eingestellt“ werden. Jegliche Behandlung mit Talmund/Torah verschlimmert die Symptome und gehört verboten, sowie bei Nichteinhaltung strengstens bestraft. Die weltweiten Folgen dürften ein konstruktives Aufatmen sein. Plötzlich gibt es keine Rassisten mehr, keine Nazikeulen, weniger Lügen – viel mehr Frieden.

Da bin ich doch sofort dabei. Willkommen Zukunft.

I’ve done this before but I’ve tweaked some things and reformatted it so if you’re interested in learning an unreasonable amount about my Inquisitor, then read on. (source)

PART ONE: Basic Personality/Life Before the Conclave

Appearance/Personality/Basic Facts

Name: Laurina Lavellan

Age: 29 at the time of the Conclave

Race: Dalish elf

Gender/preferred pronouns: Female, she/her

Class (warrior/rogue/mage): Mage

Preferred weapon/spell type: Fire and storm

Specialization: Rift mage

Romance: Solas

Give a detailed description of your Inquisitor.

Laurina is five feet tall, blonde, with light brown skin and amber eyes. She has a side cut plus braid. She has a scar across her left cheek from a hunting accident when she was a teenager (she and her friends accidentally stumbled across a bear and pissed it off). She has the full Mythal vallaslin in green, chosen due to Laurina’s own strict moral code and her dedication to justice.

OPINIONS. Give your Inquisitor’s stance on:

The Chantry: Can’t stand it. She thinks they’re all full of themselves, and they use their god as an excuse for their racism and mistreatment of others. Don’t let her get started on her feelings about exalted marches. She believes that the Chantry is corrupted and egotistical; too much so to ever recover, regardless of what the other members of the Inquisition have to say about it.

Tevinter: Its single redeeming quality is that it is now where Dorian lives. If it wasn’t so important to him, she’d view it the same way she views the Chantry – just let it burn. As it is, she doesn’t really believe that Dorian can change things, but he hopes, for his sake, that he can.

Fereldan: Laurina appreciates that Fereldans are so much more straightforward than Orlesians. Even if they have something negative to say, they say it, rather than hiding it in a compliment. She likes King Alistair well enough, from the few interactions they’ve had, and she’s gotten, overall, fewer nasty elf related insults in Fereldan than she has in Orlais. Besides, Laurina’s a dog person, so Fereldan can’t be all that bad.

Orlais: Beautiful country, shitty people. Laurina hates the Game, even though she’s decent at playing, when she tries. She feels like she hears things like ‘knife-ear’ and ‘rabbit’ from Orlesians more than from anyone else, and they’re less likely to acknowledge that those are insults. The nasty ‘elven savage’ comments at Halamshiral turned her against the country even more. She doesn’t like their food, their decorating style, and she especially doesn’t like how prevalent the Chantry is there.

Mages/Magic: She thinks the Circle is stupid and hypocritical. Magic is as useful as any other skill, and if anyone abuses it, it’s the fault of the abuser, not of magic itself. She also has a deep academic interest in learning how magic works.

Templars: She’s had very few interactions with them, but none of those have been good. She can admit that their abilities are useful tools, however. If they weren’t so tied to the Chantry, she would have a lot more respect for them. As it stands, a few Templars can be useful soldiers with a unique skillset. More than that and they become a threat, and all too often fall victim to their own sense of self-righteousness.

The Mage/Templar War: Something had to give. She supports the war in theory, but not in practice, as it doesn’t actually seem to be accomplishing anything other than a massive pile of bodies. The people actually fighting don’t have any power to do anything, and Laurina doesn’t appreciate people who claim to have a cause just as an excuse to use violence.

The Dalish and City Elves: Laurina does have a little bit of a Dalish superiority complex, as she is naturally a somewhat arrogant person, but she doesn’t look down on city elves. One of her best friends was originally from an alienage, and Laurina has seen enough alienages to know that city elves have it rough enough without other elves turning against them.

Dwarves: Before joining the Inquisition, Laurina could count the number of dwarves she’s spoken to on her fingers, and all of them were surface dwarves; merchants. Laurina finds the dwarven practice of worshipping ancestors to be strange, but they’ve never tried to convert her or anything, so she doesn’t much care. She likes dwarves, as a general rule.

Qunari/Tal-Vashoth (do they even know the difference?): The first time Laurina saw a Qunari it was when she and two of her friends snuck into Kirkwall for that exact purpose. They scared the shit out of her and she insisted she was never going to risk pissing one of them off. She knew the difference between Qunari and Tal-Vashoth in theory, but until meeting Bull she didn’t really realize what a huge difference it was. She doesn’t like the Qun, and likes it less the more she hears about it. She doesn’t trust Qunari as far as she can throw them. She comes to have a lot of respect for Tal-Vashoth – turning your back on everything you know isn’t easy, especially when the people you’re turning on are so intense.

Humans: Laurina pretty much always starts off defensive with humans. Better safe than sorry, and for every nice human Laurina’s ever met she’s met two more who would be only too happy to run her through. With only a handful of exceptions, Laurina can never fully drop her guard around humans, even after she’s known them for a while.

What is their favorite place to travel to?

The Emerald Graves. It’s beautiful and full of history (and it’s relatively easy to avoid humans there).

Their least favorite?

The Western Approach. Everything is trying to eat her, the sand is hot and hurts her feet, it’s too bright, it goes on forever… She is not a fan.

Describe what your Inquisitor is like before the game’s events–preferably, choose three words that describe best. Then explain why those adjectives are appropriate descriptors.

Curious: Laurina liked to investigate things – strange noises, new areas, etc. She jumped between topics at the drop of a hat while learning.

Simplistic: Had a very black and white world view and an ‘us versus them’ mentality.

Quick-witted: One liners, sharp sense of humor, quick to respond to insults or jibes.

Does your Inquisitor change over the course of the game’s events? If so, how? What events affected their character arc the most?

Starting at the Conclave, Laurina changed entirely. Her two closest friends, who she felt personally responsible for, were killed in the explosion. All three of the above traits changed as time went on. She begins to struggle with depression. She becomes a more patient learner, and starts to look before she leaps. She learns to make nice with her enemies – like at Halamshiral – and to trust people she usually wouldn’t, like Cassandra and Bull. Constantly needing to hold her tongue dulls her sense of humor a bit, or at least makes it less noticeable, as does her more pessimistic world view. She is also very changed by the destruction of Haven; after that she accepts that she has to grow up and protect these people who have trusted her with their lives, even though she never wanted them to.

Use three words to describe your Inquisitor at the end of the game, and explain why they are appropriate. (If there are any that are still the same from the beginning of the game, explain why they are still appropriate DESPITE the game’s events.)

Weary: All her friends have gone back to their lives. Solas is gone (and is her new enemy). She’s lost her arm, along with the mark that made her so special. Already inclined towards depressive tendencies, Laurina is tired.

Intelligent: Over the years as Inquisitor, Laurina really learned how to listen, even to viewpoints she was opposed to, and she greatly benefitted from it.

Determined: Laurina has lost a lot of things. Her resolve to stop Solas without losing him too couldn’t possibly be stronger.

Life Before the Conclave

What is their combat skill level before the events of the game? Are they already skilled fighters, or can they barely hold their weapon of choice properly?

Laurina was gifted, but had mostly used her skills for hunting or warding off small groups of enemies. Learning to fight large groups of demons and organized enemies took some practice.

How well do they improve after becoming the Herald/Inquisitor?

Laurina became better at fighting with a team – her friends Lunalla and Trystan had fought with her for so long that none of them really had to think about it. Learning to adapt to a team that didn’t know her as well took a while. Her abilities against large groups improved, and she learned new tricks from various people who came through Skyhold, companions and otherwise.

Does the Inquisitor have family they left behind? Friends?

Her closest friends died at the Conclave. Laurina misses them immeasurably. Laurina considers Keeper Deshanna to be practically her mother, but despite being incredibly homesick for her and the rest of the clan, Laurina feels too ashamed of losing Lunalla and Trystan and becoming a Chantry icon to feel as though she’d be welcomed back home, or still belong there.

How do they feel about being separated from them?

She is homesick and lonely, and her independent, defensive nature keeps her from talking about it with most of her new friends. She lashes out frequently as a result.

What is the most important/influential moment of their life before the Conclave?

A hunting party was attacked – and most of them killed – by a group of Templars when Laurina was sixteen. Nothing drives home the idea that you can only trust your own people quite like something like that.

Why were they sent to the Conclave?

Laurina was bright, but hot-headed and prideful. The Keeper thought she was both qualified and would benefit from the experience.

PART TWO: Main Plot Reactions/Choices

The Wrath of Heaven/The Threat Remains

How does the Inquisitor react to the Anchor and the idea of closing the Breach–do they want to do the right thing, are they only along because they are a prisoner, or something else?

To the anchor – a resounding response of ‘what the fuck is that’. She is defensive, scared, and angry when she first wakes up, but knows that 1) a hole in the sky isn’t good for anyone, and 2) no one’s going to save her if she doesn’t save herself.

Do they take the mountain pass with the scouts to the Temple or do they charge with the soldiers?

Soldiers. The mountain pass puts her alone with people she doesn’t know, with herself as her main defender. She isn’t invested in this cause and she’s hurting – she’d rather the nameless soldiers risk their lives for now.

How does the Inquisitor react to being called the Herald of Andraste?

She protests being called the Herald of Andraste whenever she can. She hates it, and she hates that people are foisting it on her when it is so very not a part of her personal identity. (Your Worship is even worse).

Do they believe it themselves?

Definitely not.

How does the Inquisitor react to Chancellor Roderick’s presence and the threat of the Chantry?

Fuck the Chantry. Fuck what they think. Fuck everyone who thinks she did this to herself and her friends (though at this point no one knows about her friends who died). If she hadn’t been so frazzled and defensive, Roderick probably would have gotten punched.

Does the Inquisitor decide to approach the mages or the Templars?

Mages. Laurina doesn’t much like Templars, and the threat of both the time magic and the Tevinters needed to be addressed.

In Hushed Whispers

How does the Inquisitor feel about mages and about recruiting them?

Laurina is very pro-mage and believes people should absolutely not be punished for how they’re born. The more people argue with her about it, the more stubborn she gets. The Dalish have had plenty of problems because of the fears of others, so she doesn’t think that fear excuses anything.

How does the Inquisitor react to the idea of allying with Tevinter to gain the mages’ support?

She’s stunned at Fiona having done something so idiotic. She sympathizes a little, but mostly she thinks Fiona was being incredibly naïve by believing that Alexius would treat them well.

How do they react to being thrown a year into the future? Do they believe they can get back? Are they focused on their goal, gathering information? Or are they just freaking out?

Honestly it’s a miracle they got out because she and Dorian kept having to remind themselves that this was not the time to be discussing how all this works.

Did they ally with the mages or conscript them? Why?

Ally. Laurina believes loyalty can never be earned at the end of a leash.

What is the Inquisitor’s relationship with Fiona?

Laurina respects how difficult of a choice she was faced with, but still believes she was naïve to how brutal the real world can be. They don’t have much of a relationship, but Laurina checks in regularly to make sure the mages aren’t being treated badly.

In Your Heart Shall Burn

Does the Inquisitor help Harrit and save all possible citizens of Haven? Why?

Yes. When the first blast from the dragon came a switch flipped in her brain and she realized, like it or not, all of these people were her responsibility.

How does the Inquisitor feel about being a distraction for Corypheus while Haven flees? Are they resigned to their fate? Resentful? Determined to defeat the enemy/survive?

She is happy to do it; glad to know that whatever happens she’ll have done all she could. Still struggling with everything that’s happened to her, a part of her is almost relieved that she might be going to her death.

Does the encounter with Corypheus change their opinion of being Herald? Does it make them believe they are the Herald, lose faith, or affirm to their previous belief?

Laurina’s opinion doesn’t change. She knows she’s not sent by the Maker. It upsets her that everyone thinks so, and a part of her feels like it’s taking something away from her; saying it’s divine providence rather than her own abilities keeping her alive.

How do they react to Solas telling them the orb is elvhen?

She prepares herself – she knows that Solas is right and they’ll eventually be blamed.

How do they feel about being chosen for Inquisitor?

Laurina never really wanted this, but after Haven she’s determined to protect these people, and she knows that she can do that best as the Inquisitor. Besides, Laurina is a natural leader, and dislikes taking orders from others; she would have had difficulty if someone else had been made Inquisitor. She also is pleased about being an elf in such an influential role.

What do they say are the principle foundations for the Inquisition?

“An elf will lead us all.”

From the Ashes

How does the Inquisitor react to Hawke’s presence?

She knows the story of the Champion of Kirkwall very well, and it more than a little amused to meet the woman behind it. (Not least of all because Varric definitely made Hawke sound a lot calmer and more in control than she really is). Once she realizes just how much effort Varric put into pretending he didn’t know where Hawke was, she’s actually kind of amused.

Does the Inquisitor side with Varric or Cassandra during their fight?

Varric, though she tells them both off for fighting like this. It’s been long enough to render the fight irrelevant. Laurina believes Varric’s right when he says that Hawke would probably have been killed if she’d been at the Conclave, and she understands and empathizes with putting one’s friends above all else. She warns Varric not to lie to her again, but she doesn’t hold it against him. She expects Varric to have more loyalty to Hawke, he’s known her longer.

How well do they get along with Hawke? Do they agree with Hawke’s decisions?

She likes Hawke. Hawke’s funny and real, and the two of them have more than one conversation about the burden of responsibility.

Here Lies the Abyss

Who is the Warden contact?

Stroud.

How does the Inquisitor get along with them?

She respects him, but doesn’t feel any particular emotion towards him, one way or the other. If anything, she thinks he’s a little too righteous, and could stand to talk about ‘sacred duty’ a little less.

How do they react to finding out the Wardens are being used by Corypheus?

At this point nothing can surprise her anymore. Why wouldn’t that be just one more thing to have go wrong?

How does the Inquisitor react to being in the Fade?

She’s almost excited about it as Solas is. Bull and Cole are there too though, so she spends a fair amount of her energy trying to keep them calm.

Do they ever believe the spirit is actually of Divine Justinia?

Believe is probably too strong of a word, but she does consider it to be a possibility.

How do they react to the revelation regarding the Wardens’ involvement in the Conclave attack?

She isn’t particularly surprised. They already knew the Wardens were being controlled by Corypheus, so the revelation that he used them to attack the Conclave doesn’t catch her off guard.

Do they agree with Hawke or the Warden more?

Neither. She doesn’t think this is the time or the place, and that the whole situation is too complicated to be settled with a fist fight in the fade.

How do they respond to Hawke’s and the Warden’s fight?

“By the Creators, shut up already.”

How do they react to learning it was the Divine behind them in the Fade, not Andraste?

She’s pleased to have real memories back that leave no room for doubt that she wasn’t saved by divine intervention, and she hopes it may help her convince others that the Maker didn’t send or save her.

What would the Nightmare Demon have said to rattle the Inquisitor?

“The Inquisitor. So proud, so sure of herself. How do you expect to lead all these people, to protect them, when you couldn’t even protect your friends?”

What is on the Inquisitor’s tombstone (what is their greatest fear)?

Failure.

Who does the Inquisitor leave behind in the Fade? Why do they choose to do so?

Stroud. She likes Hawke better, she can’t stand the thought of making Varric lose his best friend, and it seems to be more Stroud’s duty than Hawke’s. Really though, she tries not to think about it too much.

Does the Inquisitor decide to exile the Wardens or have them fight alongside the Inquisition? What is their reasoning behind the decision?

Fight alongside. She can’t see any good reason for exiling them. In the long run, she’s certain that would do more harm than good.

Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts

What is their opinion on attending the ball in the first place? Do they think it’s a waste of time, a necessary duty, or something exciting?

Laurina doesn’t care for Orlesians, politics, or large gatherings, but grits her teeth and does her best. She knows it’s a necessary evil.

Do the companions/advisors believe the Inquisitor will do well at the palace, or is there a fear they’ll be kicked out within five minutes?

By this point most of them know her well enough to know that she can play the part quite well, if she so chooses. Most of them just hope she won’t be the receiver of too many insults.

How does the Inquisitor actually fare? Are they the belle of the ball, or do they barely scrape by?

Very well. It takes most of her self-restraint, but she bites her tongue when she needs to and plays the game with the best of them. She makes quite the impression on the court.

Does the Inquisitor gather blackmail information for Leliana? Gather caprice coins and stone halla? Find the Red Jenny caches?

Yes to all, especially the blackmail information. Laurina likes having something over all of these snobby nobles.

Does the Inquisitor fight Grand Duchess Florianne, or expose her?

Expose her. She figures it will strengthen her own position in the Game.

Who does the Inquisitor support for Orlesian rule?

She wants Briala to have the power. After much deliberation over which one will be easier to control, Laurina finally decides to reconcile Briala and Celene and put them in power.

What Pride Had Wrought

How does the Inquisitor get along with Morrigan?

She thinks she’s arrogant and condescending. With enough time the two of them could have become friends – they certainly have enough in common – but circumstances don’t allow for that.

Does the Inquisitor take the Pilgrim’s Path, or fight their way through?

The Pilgrim’s Path.

Does the Inquisitor ally with Abelas and the elven sentinels?

Yes.

Does the Inquisitor weaken Samson’s armor before fighting him?

Yes.

Who drinks from the Well of Sorrows? What is the reasoning behind the choice?

Laurina. This is a part of her history, and she will not allow Morrigan to take it in her place.

The Final Piece

If the Inquisitor drank from the Well, how do they react to finding out they are now a servant of Flemeth/Mythal?

Confused. This revelation is the first moment of beginning to shake Laurina’s devotion to her peoples’ religion.

Doom Upon All the World

How does the Inquisitor feel about facing Corypheus for the last time? Do they feel confident? Do they believe they will survive the encounter? How do they cope with the possibility of failure?

She will not fail. She won’t even consider the possibility of it. She can’t. She has to do this. She has to stop him, whatever it takes. She doesn’t let herself wonder whether or not she’ll survive.

Who becomes the next Divine? Is the Inquisitor in support of the decision?

Leliana. Laurina is fully in support of this, especially when compared to the possibility of Vivienne or Cassandra.

How do they react to Solas’ disappearance?

She’s heartbroken and confused. She doesn’t understand why he would leave the way he did, even after things ended between them. She has a tough time dealing with the lack of closure.

What does the Inquisitor decide to do after Corypheus is defeated? How do they focus the Inquisition?

She slowly starts turning forts and such back over to the country they belong to. She would rather the Inquisition stay mostly neutral, only stepping in if something else on Corypheus’ scale occurs.

PART THREE: Side quests/War Table

Sit In Judgment

How does the Inquisitor generally judge prisoners?

If she can recruit them, she usually does. She is not forgiving though, very few people are pardoned. If they aren’t useful, they’re probably dead.

What are the specific judgments passed to prisoners in-game?

Gereon Alexius

Research Magic

Grand Duchess Florianne

Recruitment

Magister Livius Erimond:

Execution

Ser Ruth

Exile to Deep Roads

Captain Thom Rainer

Pardon

Samson

Give to Dagna

Chief Movran the Under

Mistress Poulin

Put to Work

War Table

Does your Inquisitor generally use Force, Secrets, or Connections to complete War Table Operations? Why?

Force, unless Leliana or Josephine having compelling reasons to do otherwise. Laurina prefers the straightforward nature of Cullen’s approach.

What does the Inquisitor usually spend Inquisition Perks on?

More knowledge. Things that help her recruit more people, get more effective results from research, etc.

Fetch/Gathering Quests

Does the Inquisitor take time to collect the shards? Do they complete the Temple of Pride? Why or why not?

Yes. Laurina is not the type to leave any stone uncovered, and she wants to know why the Venatori are so interested.

Does the Inquisitor complete the Astrariums? Why or why not?

Yes. Again, she leaves no stone unturned. Besides, she figures out pretty quickly that there’s usually good stuff in those caves. And she likes studying the constellations.

Does the Inquisitor take time to complete side quests/recruit agents? Why or why not?

Yes. Laurina is pleased to have as much help as possible, whenever possible. And she likes proving that the Inquisition cares about more than just the big picture.

PART FOUR: Relationships/Companion Quests

General

Who does the Inquisitor prefer to have in their party? Why?

Solas, Cole, and Bull (once he is declared Tal-Vashoth). After Solas breaks up with her – and eventually leaves - Dorian takes his place in her party. She has the best relationship with them, and enjoys their company out in the field, as well as trusting them to have her back.

Which advisor is the Inquisitor closest to, if any?

Cullen, although the two of them don’t really become friends until after Corypheus’ defeat. They play a lot of chess together.

Who does the Inquisitor most often turn to for advice?

Solas or Cole. Laurina trusts them to give her the best advice they possibly can, and to offer opinions that make her think, but that she won’t instantly disagree with.

Who is the one the Inquisitor hangs out with the most in their free time?

Solas (before things end between them) and Dorian. It depends on what sort of company she wants. She also spends a lot of time with Blackwall before learning the truth about his past.

Who would be the one the Inquisitor tells their deepest, darkest secrets to?

Solas.

Are there any companions the Inquisitor wishes they were closer to? If so, which ones?

No. Laurina either likes someone or she doesn’t. If they aren’t close, they aren’t close.

Leliana:

What is the Inquisitor’s first impression of Leliana?

She was wary of her – a spymaster should always be kept an eye on.

Does the impression change over time? If yes, how so? If not, why?

She grows to like Leliana, but never forgets that she is, first and foremost, a spy.

What does Leliana think of the Inquisitor?

She likes that Laurina isn’t afraid to make the tough calls. The two of them aren’t the sort to trust others, but they do grow to like and respect each other a great deal.

Does the Inquisitor help Leliana find the Divine’s last message for her in Val Royeaux?

Yes.

Do they “soften” Leliana or confirm her “hardened” nature?

Confirm her ‘hardened’ nature.

Does the Inquisitor support the idea of Leliana being Divine?

Yes.

Cullen

What is the Inquisitor’s first impression of Cullen?

He’s a Templar and a human. Laurina doesn’t care for him, or trust him.

Does this impression change over time? If yes, how so? If not, why?

Yes. They become friends, and Laurina comes to both respect his views and to enjoy his company.

What does Cullen think of the Inquisitor?

He agrees with Cassandra that she was what was needed when they needed it, but he doesn’t much care for her either. He does come to enjoy her presence more and more though, and they eventually become good friends.

Does the Inquisitor play the chess game with Cullen? Do they let him win, play fair, or cheat?

She plays fair (and is fully aware that he lets her win. She knows she’s not good enough to beat him).

Do they continue to play with him after the scene?

Yes, especially after Corypheus is defeated.

Does the Inquisitor convince Cullen to stay off lyrium, or tell him to start taking it again?

To stay off. She respects what he’s doing, and doesn’t want to lose him to addiction.

Does the Inquisitor assist Cullen in finding Samson’s base?

Yes.

Josephine

What is the Inquisitor’s first impression of Josephine?

Too nice. Laurina thinks she’s either up to something or naive.

Does this impression change over time? If yes, how so? If not, why?

Laurina comes to respect Josephine. She doesn’t understand how or why her methods work, but she recognizes that they do.

What does Josephine think of the Inquisitor?

At first she thinks she’s too brash. The two eventually become friends though.

Does the Inquisitor talk to Josephine about her work to help her relieve stress?

Yes.

Do they enjoy it? Does it continue to occur?

Yes. Laurina knows she wouldn’t be able to do Josephine’s job, and wants to be able to help a little. And few things are better for morale than gossiping about the nobility.

Does the Inquisitor help Josephine reinstate her family’s trade in Orlais?

Yes.

If yes, do they kill the agent from the House of Repose?

No. She doesn’t see the point, it wouldn’t do anything, and she’s a little afraid it will turn the House of Repose on the Inquisition.

Do they decide to take Josephine’s route of nullifying the contract, or Leliana’s?

Laurina thinks Leliana’s way sounds too easy and doubts it would work, so she takes Josephine’s route.

Cassandra

What is the Inquisitor’s first impression of Cassandra?

Absolutely dismal. Laurina hates Cassandra at first, for a lot of reasons.

Does this impression change over time? If yes, how so? If not, why?

Slowly but surely Laurina comes to respect Cassandra, and the two of them become friends, as long as they don’t talk about religion or politics.

What does Cassandra think of the Inquisitor?

She thinks Laurina is stubborn and arrogant, as well as quick to anger. Her opinion doesn’t change, exactly, but she does come to see Laurina as a friend, and those character traits no longer define Cassandra’s entire view of Laurina.

Does the Inquisitor find out about Cassandra’s “guilty pleasure?” If so, do they convince Varric to make the next chapter of Swords and Shields for her?

Yes and yes, and she considers it to be one of the all-time funniest things to ever happen to her.

Does the Inquisitor help Cassandra track down hunt down criminals left unchecked by the Seekers’ absence?

Yes.

Does the Inquisitor go with Cassandra to Caer Oswin to find the missing Seekers?

Yes.

If so, does the Inquisitor support Cassandra’s idea to rebuild the Seekers, or do they discourage her from doing so?

She encourages her. Laurina hopes Cassandra will be able to take a step towards changing how the Chantry operates out in the world.

Does the Inquisitor support the idea of Cassandra being Divine?

She likes the idea of Cassandra more than the idea of Vivienne, but not nearly as much as she likes the idea of Leliana being Divine. Cassandra isn’t quite revolutionary enough for her.

Varric

What is the Inquisitor’s first impression of Varric?

Anyone who talks about their crossbow like it’s a person can’t be all bad.

Does this impression change over time? If yes, how so? If not, why?

Laurina grows to like Varric, both for his sense of humor and for his disinterest in playing politics.

What does Varric think of the Inquisitor?

He reserves judgement for a long time. He can tell that Laurina is wound tight, and isn’t sure what she’s like when she’s relaxed for a long time.

If Varric could give the Inquisitor a nickname, what would it be?

Goldilocks. They know each other for months before he realizes she doesn’t know what he’s referencing.

Does the Inquisitor find and destroy the Red Lyrium sources across Thedas after learning about them from Varric?

Yes. Definitely not something Laurina wants lying around out there.

Does the Inquisitor help Varric and Bianca find the thaig inside Valammar?

Yes.

Does the Inquisitor blame Bianca for what happened?

Yes. She thinks Bianca could have - and should have - been smarter about it, and should have been more careful and more honest with them about what had happened.

Solas

What is the Inquisitor’s first impression of Solas?

‘Oh, thank the Creators, another elf.’

Does this impression change over time? If yes, how so? If not, why?

She falls in love with Solas without really realizing it, going from being relieved to see him, to enjoying his company, to valuing his company above all others.

What does Solas think of the Inquisitor?

He is surprised but how easily she can keep up with him when they talk about magic and the Fade, and how willing she is to accept new ideas.

Does the Inquisitor initiate a romance with Solas?

Yes.

What is it like? Why are they attracted to each other?

It starts off as an intellectual relationship, born of a mutual enjoyment of talking about theoretical magic and the Fade. They value each other’s perspectives. Things just unfolded from there.

How does the Inquisitor react to Solas breaking up with them?

She’s heartbroken and confused, and lashes out angrily to keep herself from crying in front of him.

Does the Inquisitor help Solas find and activate elvhen artifacts to strengthen the Veil?

Yes.

Does the Inquisitor help Solas rescue his friend in the Exalted Plains?

Yes.

Does the Inquisitor choose to destroy the summoning stones or fight the Pride Demon?

Destroy the summoning stones. She trusts Solas’ assessment of the situation.

Does the Inquisitor let Solas kill the mages or do they stop him?

She allows him to kill the mages. Laurina is not a merciful person.

How would the Inquisitor react to finding out Solas is Fen’harel?

She’s stunned, and any remaining faith she has in the religion she grew up believing in is completely shattered. Her worldview has been completely dismantled.

Does the Inquisitor choose to look for Solas after he disappears? Why or why not?

She tells Leliana to keep an eye out, but doesn’t actively search. She knows she won’t find Solas if he doesn’t want to be found.

Sera

Is Sera recruited?

Yes.

If she is, does she ever leave the Inquisition, and why?

No, although it comes close a few times.

What is the Inquisitor’s first impression of Sera?

She’s pleased to see another elf, and likes Sera’s cause.

Does this impression change over time? If yes, how so? If not, why?

Yes. It doesn’t take long at all for Laurina and Sera to start butting heads over almost everything. The two of them never become friends.

What does Sera think of the Inquisitor?

She thinks she’s ‘too elfy’ and thinks too much of herself.

Does the Inquisitor complete the Red Jenny War Table missions?

Yes. Laurina doesn’t like Sera, but she likes the idea of the Red Jennys.

Does the Inquisitor agree to send a presence to Verchiel for Sera?

Yes.

How does the Inquisitor deal with Lord Harmond?

Force him to work for the Inquisition. Laurina is a very opportunistic person.

Vivienne

What is the Inquisitor’s first impression of Vivienne?

She’s impressed by both her abilities and her ruthlessness.

Does this impression change over time? If yes, how so? If not, why?

No. She remains impressed by those two things, but never grows any fonder of Vivienne.

What does Vivienne think of the Inquisitor?

That she doesn’t respect the way the world works.

Does the Inquisitor help Vivienne look for the three tomes for the Circle of Magi?

Yes.

Does the Inquisitor agree to find Vivienne the heart of a Snowy Wyvern?

Yes.

Do they actually give Vivienne the heart, or do they give her the heart of a regular wyvern?

Laurina gives her the right heart. She’s a woman of her word.

Does the Inquisitor support the idea of Vivienne being Divine?

No. Laurina does not agree with Vivienne on much of anything, and does not want her running the Chantry.

Blackwall

What is the Inquisitor’s first impression of Blackwall?

She likes him, though his being a Grey Warden pulls up some painful memories for her.

Does this impression change over time? If yes, how so? If not, why?

Laurina comes to like Blackwall’s company, and his willingness to leave her be when she needs peace and quiet.

What does Blackwall think of the Inquisitor?

He respects how strong she’s stayed through what she’s been through, and wants to help her, both with her duties as Inquisitor and with some of her more personal difficulties, such as her survivor’s guilt.

Does the Inquisitor help Blackwall find Grey Warden information across Thedas?

Yes.

How does the Inquisitor react to finding out Rainier’s true identity?

She feels hurt and betrayed.

Do they leave them in Val Royeaux or bring them back to Skyhold for judgment?

She brings him back and pardons him, although she’s uncertain if that’s the right decision.

Dorian

What is the Inquisitor’s first impression of Dorian?

She was wary of trusting a Tevinter.

Does this impression change over time? If yes, how so? If not, why?

When stuck together in the future the two of them became friends very quickly, and Dorian soon became one of her favorite people in the Inquisition.

What does Dorian think of the Inquisitor?

He enjoys her company and respects her intelligence.

Does the Inquisitor help Dorian find and track down Venatori?

Yes.

Does the Inquisitor learn that Dorian’s father wishes to speak with him?

Yes.

Do they tell Dorian about the letter or not?

Yes. He’s her friend, she’s not going to deceive him.

Do they urge Dorian to reconcile with his father, or do they let Dorian leave without reconciliation?

Leave without reconciliation. Laurina’s view of family doesn’t include bloodlines, so she doesn’t understand why anyone would encourage him to reconcile with his father after what he did.

Cole

What is the Inquisitor’s first impression of Cole?

She doesn’t understand what he is – she can tell he’s not human – but he seems to want to help, so she lets him.

Does this impression change over time? If yes, how so? If not, why?

Cole quickly becomes one of Laurina’s favorite people, and she trusts him more than anyone else she’s ever met. She always knows where she stands with Cole, and she appreciates that.

What does Cole think of the Inquisitor?

That she also wants to help, even when they have different methods.

When Cole helps people, does the Inquisitor encourage their spirit-like methods (such as making people forget him and mercy killings), or convince him there are different ways to help?

A little of both. She understands that mercy killings are sometimes necessary, but also wants to help teach him more human ways of helping people.

Does the Inquisitor urge Cole to forgive the Templar and embrace his spirit nature, or learn to grow by confronting the Templar and becoming more human?

To confront him and become more human. She believes it will be better for him, in the long run. And Varric’s right – he came here to be a person.

Iron Bull

What is the Inquisitor’s first impression of Iron Bull?

She doesn’t like the idea of hiring a Qunari. She only agrees because of how upfront he is about being a spy, and because she needs all the help she can get. She is also not very invested in the Inquisition yet, and doesn’t much care if they end up screwed over.

Does this impression change over time? If yes, how so? if not, why?

After Bull is declared Tal-Vashoth they become close, and discover they actually have a lot in common.

What does Iron Bull think of the Inquisitor?

He thinks she’s good people, and a good person to have on his side. He appreciates how much she helps ground him after he is declared Tal-Vashoth.

Is the Inquisition approached by the Ben-Hassrath to secure a formal alliance?

Yes.

During the attack of the dreadnaught, does the Inquisitor sacrifice the dreadnaught and the alliance, or Bull’s Chargers?

She sacrifices the dreadnaught. She didn’t really want an alliance anyway, she doesn’t trust the Qun.
