Something something Decepticon recruitment (+physical exam) yada yada putting my Malay twins headcanon to good use and making names (and a non-typical matrilineal last name as opposed to a patrilineal last name) for them :P

Old fanfiction as well as echo chambering myself I have got some headcanons in my mind that do not make surface level sense but have Syakir and Darwesh bin Kalsom!

Ketubah (Jewish marriage contract), Isfahan Province, Iran, 1859

This is a finely painted example of Persian Ketubot with peacocks flanking a central tree and the flowers and birds rendered in careful detail. The wedding took place on October 25, 1859 between Moses, son of Abraham and Rachel, daughter of Jacob.

My friend introduced me to the concept of witchcraft as prayer and mindfulness, and as someone who no longer engages in organized religion but still believes in a lot of the basic tenants I grew up with, I’m feeling pretty interested in learning more, specifically from a spiritual/cultural lore and history perspective. I’m looking for information related to cultures I’m descended from and/or grew up around:

Mexican folk magic (brujería)

Welsh and/or Germanic

Persian/Iranian

Appreciate any help finding resources!

(in keeping with bioware tradition: 2 codices for the price of 1! the first appears to all players, but second unlocks only for a dalish player character/after a special interaction!)

The Hero of Ferelden, Warden Roshan Mahariel is a figure whose past remains shrouded in mystery, despite his tenure in command being more recent than many of the names preceding him in this volume. Alas, the sudden loss of the order's senior members at the Battle of Ostagar left behind none of the usual records describing the circumstances of his recruitment.

Brother Genitivi's account claims his origin lies in the Dalish Clan Sabrae, whose people are now divided between the Brecilian Forest and Vimmarks. Though many attempts at correspondence have been made with those of them remaining in the South, they have been no more forthcoming with our order than with the Chantry’s many envoys. As such, Genitivi’s claims remain unsubstantiated.

— Excerpt from Warden Commanders of Ferelden: From the First Blight to the Last by Warden Kenna

The keeper's heart was a shadow they say, Spied only on the brightest of nights, Where kind Sylaise bade the clouds away, And trees part their branches for stars' lights.

The keeper's heart was heavy they say, For he gave himself to clan and creator, His heart concealed by light of day, Duty left room not for love's savour.

The keeper's heart was bold they say, Swift and true as fierce Andruil's arrows, Longing for freedom yet ne'er to stray, Knowing the cost in our ancestors barrows.

The keeper's heart carried him they say, When the mountain's fury fell upon the knoll, In her tender arms did he stay, Held fast till we made across the shoal.

The keeper's heart grew heavy they say, For one half cannot be parted from its whole, To wise Falon'din did she weep and pray, To guide shadow back to soul.

— From The Keeper's Heart, a southern Dalish folk song attributed to Clan Sabrae
