i’m thinking so much about amethyne from dragon age origins. her mother died at the cousland estate and nobody tells her. she’s always just waiting in denerim.

my cousland would want her to be safe and to be looked after. i think at first she’d consider adopting her alongside alistair, but the life of a warden is dangerous and the life of a monarch of ferelden is no better, particularly for an elven girl.

so i think fergus would take her in. after all, he lost his wife and child at highever, where she lost her mother. he wouldn’t be able to stand a little girl sitting and waiting for a mother who’ll never come home. she can’t be much older than oren had been, and that in particular grips his heart.

does it cause talk, and issues? obviously. the couslands are a powerful family, after all, and taking in an elven orphan is most unorthodox. but ultimately there’s nothing that could change the couslands’ minds.

also i love the idea that in the case of king alistair + queen cousland they do finally manage to have a child of their own some years later so there’s not quite a succession crisis and ferelden is SO relieved. there’s talk of the king having a bastard son who may also be a mage but the queen seems completely fine with this information. when amethyne was being considered for adoption the other lords nearly had a heart attack at the idea of her being adopted by the monarchs. and then fergus, teryn of highever, goes and adopts her. except she often visits with him. and also there’s rumours of a raven or a crow that is often seen around the palace. the couslands are just causing chaos in ferelden and i love it
