THEY COULD NEVER MAKE ME HATE YOU MX RAYAN IVENCI (THEY/THEM) MOST PERSECUTED GOVERNOR IN HISTORY!!!

[officialzevran]

the funniest thing about how badly veilguard fucked up the crows - trying to turn it into some anti-hero, good guy faction that cares so much about antiva - is that as a contrast they had to write governor ivenci to be the most flat, comic villain ever like all of the game's villains cuz we cant have nuance but thats another post to make sure you the player know that Crows Good, Government Bad

but like!! they still had a point!!! you tried to make them sooo unlikeable and yet!!!

bitches hate to see a They/Them call out the guild of literal human trafficking, child abusing murderers that have control over the the country 😞

[watcher1ngellvar]

There's a parallel somewhere about criminal syndicate boss Makal Damas saying "Docktown's ours," in the conversation about freeing it from the venatori and fifth talon Viago de Riva repeatedly saying "the crows rule antiva, and treviso will be free" while local "corrupt" government pushes against the crows presence but I don't have the expertise to put it together.

[mayhemforlace]

I told you Crows to stay out of this!

[crossdressingdeath]

Ivenci handing Treviso to the Antaam on a silver platter for personal gain and then insisting it's the Crows' fault will never not be hilarious to me.

Based Governor Ivenci moment

[the-northern-continent]

Lucanis has no game in the same way that Rayan Ivenci is “a bookkeeper”. What is bumbling and artless to Antivans is absolutely lethal everywhere else.

[sky-scribbles]

I am absolutely fascinated by Ivenci being a mage.

Veilguard doesn't talk about the Circles at all, and yes it's annoying and we can talk about that all day but... they still existed. If Leliana dissolved the Circles, then until ten years ago, mages were still imprisoned. If Leliana isn't Divine, the mages are still imprisoned.

If we follow that to its logical conclusion, one of two things is true:

If the Circles were dissolved, then Ivenci was either an apostate for most of their life, or they were a Circle mage who was only freed ten years ago. Perhaps they fought in the mage rebellion. Somehow, they - a mage, in a country were mages were distrusted and feared - fought and worked their way to becoming governor of Treviso, in just a decade.

If the Circles still exist, then Ivenci is an apostate. They either escaped a Circle or have managed to stay free from one their entire life. They worked their way up to governor without anyone finding out that they were a mage, ever.

And either option is so interesting! Does it impact their decision to sell Treviso to the Antaam? Do they think it's better to ally with the Antaam, who hate and fear mages even more than the Chantry, than risk them taking over by force - and risk themselves being chained? Do they hate the Crows because they remember the Templars, an order who were just as untouchable, who held a similar indiscriminate power over other people's lives?

Is there a terror driving them? Whatever it takes to stay free. Whatever it takes. Is there a fury? The Crows call themselves patriots, they say they fight for the freedom of all Antivans - but where were they, when I was locked in a Circle? 'Treviso will be free' - but for whom?

tl;dr Rayan Ivenci I want to study you like a bug

[companionquest]

okay cuz I’m filled with spite after reading transphobic Veilguard comments I wanna sketch some they/thems.

Taash obviously, Flynn, Governor Ivenci, Vorgoth (common misconception that they use he/him, it’s always they/them in dialogue and the wiki), am I missing anyone??

[sky--phantom]

.....no, thank you

[noitsbecky127]

it’s so funny to me that governor ivenci is nonbinary. diversity win

[lesbiansforboromir]

Governor Rayan Ivenci most dragon age character ever written, they're a government official, they live in fantasy Venice but sound like Scar from the Lion King, they hold the completely reasonable opinion that a city being run by a shadowy self-governing collection of hired killers who regularly murder each other is bad, all their coworkers are assassins who make fun of them for having this opinion while wearing bird outfits and living in a casino, somehow Ivenci is still the villain here, they're nonbinary and spend what precious little personal time they have on some immaculate gender affirming eyeliner, they're bald, they all but tell you that they're working with the Antaam but it stiil takes until the end of the game for the '''top tier''' Crow leadership to figure it out, they're a goddamn mage and you only find that out during the final boss fight where you're standing in front of a middle government office worker and their health bar appears and they throw a fucking fireball at you!!! I'm literally always thinking about them.

Crow Banners/Noa/

Noa de Acutis

Character Description:

Noa is an older female in her late 50s. She has been a Crow for all of her life, and remains capable and fit. Her build has the old-woman wireyness of a duelist's body that was fit her whole life. She is slow to smile, and is the more serious of the de Acutis siblings.

Noa facts:

1. Noa likes her coffee extremely sweet

"The Butcher continues his daily droning," said Noa, stirring an alarming amount of sugar into her drink. ("As We Fly")

2. Noa is remarkably bloodthirsty.

Noa: Are the Antaam numbers any lower? Neri: They replace them as fast as you kill them. Noa: Challenge accepted.

Teia : As predicted, there are no shortage of Antaam pretenders. But because of our message, they have no plan and no standing. Teia : And Noa is keeping their numbers bloody. She's enjoying it too much. Viago : I won't be the one to tell her.

3. She's suspicious of Ivenci

Ivenci: You and your brother are more mature. Your house is respected. Surely you understand what it takes to secure a city. Noa: I understand that someone welcomed the Antaam with open arms and open locks. Ivenci: A Crow traitor, no doubt. Perhaps tired of killing their way to the top. Noa: No Crow would suffer this. No Crow would yield so much.

4. She also bullies/threatens him (It's kind of hot)

Noa: This is it, huh? A politician's life? Ivenci: It's called being an adult. I don't expect a Crow to understand.

Noa: Stuck-up arsehole says what? Ivenci: How very mature.

Ivenci: If you don't trust me, why don't you do what Crows do and kill me? Noa: We're not thugs. We need a contract. A reason. Ivenci: And you expect to find reason by staring at the back of my head? Noa: I suspect reason will come. And when it does, I will know where you are.

5. She doesn't take breaks

Rook: What will you do with the occupation broken? Noa: Kill Antaam. We will be free, but there is work to do. Noa: We Crows have celebrations, but I don't take holidays.

6. She's more reticent with compliments than her brother

Noa: Neri would make more of a show of this. I prefer to get to business. Noa: Congratulations, Rook. Noa: I approve.

7. She was friends with Dareth

Noa: Thank you for finishing Dareth's contract. We worked very hard on it. Rook: He was a friend? Noa: He was a Crow. That would've been enough. Noa: But he was also a very good friend.

8. She considers other Crow houses to be extended family

Neri: You really approved people moving to the new house? Noa: Jacobus needs a good start. And extended family is always a good investment. Neri: Ah, there's the Noa I know.

I keep thinking about Governor Ivenci... Obsessed with this cartoonishly unlikeable minor villain

[mayhemforlace]

"Treviso is dying, Rook, and its killer wears your face." [...] I live with the consequences of my decisions. Can you say the same? "You live with nothing, Rook!"

[crossdressingdeath]

Rook: This is our city. Why shouldn't we protect it? Governor Ivenci: Who decided it was yours? The winner of your latest petty treachery.

Says the person planning to use their own significantly less petty treachery to make the city theirs. Mad you still haven't got past the assassins, aren't you, Ivenci.

Also, somewhat more importantly: we are repeatedly reminded that the Crows are Antiva's only even vaguely military force. Antiva doesn't have a standing army, just the Crows, and protecting Antiva is very much one of their duties. The question of whose city it is is academic here; not only do the Crows have every right to protect Treviso, it is literally their job to do so. Ivenci is complaining about the Crows overstepping their bounds in the same breath as they try to argue the Crows shouldn't do their job and it's just so funny to me. Truly they are my favourite clown.
