I realised there’s nothing stopping me from talking about my blorbos tbh, so have some Blorbo facts

Juno Mahariel

Their mabari’s name is Vir Sulavenin

You know how DA:O has phylacteries and puzzles and stuff that sets you on fire for no reason, which seems deadlier than in the other games? Juno activates them all.

I mean all.

Mama Mahariel asked to name them Juno, of June, so they’d be Clever and full of Resources. turns out that also means that if they realise something looks like a mechanism, they’ll find a way to activate it. Imagine you’re a random warden and see the Warden-Commander walk to a stone in the wall that looks a bit misplaced and now there’s a revenant, a demon and who knows what other shit around. I’d quit.

Youngest of the Mahariel siblings (Eravan, the eldest, and Gaadha, their twin, belong to @atypicalacademic​)

Besties with Morrigan, whom they call the worst text replier in the universe, and Alistair, as in the King of Ferelden and the Warden-Commander are seen having a sleep over in a blanket fort and you wish you were invited

Besties and loved ones call them Juniper

Their greatest fear is being forgotten

Favourite food is walnut pie. Will stop paying attention to whatever you’re saying if there’s an unattended slice near them

Everything they said wouldn’t happen with Zevran happened. Zev starts flirting with them, they say this is not the time For That? Does That. Says won’t fall in love with Zevran? hey, hey guess what happened. guess what fucking happened.

Also romances (Kani’s again) Sahi Tabris and homevoid here isn’t very good at flirting. Got increasingly frustrated at being unable to express a crush that they were sure was reciprocated, told Sahi they were going to kiss them, and with shaking hands they grabbed his shoulders and slammed them so hard against the nearest tree, leaned in just as ungracefully and accidentally broke Sahi’s nose. Wynne had to heal them.

No one has let them live it down.

 Btw no one understand them like Sahi understand them, in their opinion.

In their worldstate, it’s Gaadha the one who finds the cure, and the warden arcane investigators the one who perfect it. Juno allows their wardens to take it at first signs of the Calling if they want to call it quits but Juno does not. Will not.

Juno is one of those people who is, actually, afraid of everything. While they work on it in time, people don’t realise how insanely anxious they are because they come across almost as authoritative. They have no idea they sound like this. They have zero understanding of why people listen to them and trust them in the first place. Hates that they’re the one who has to go get it done, but they’ll go get it done.

And you see, Juno has two things in this world. 1. Raging abandonment issues from their parents dying, Eravan being transferred clans, the years of sheer denial that Eravan or their parents weren’t coming back despite they damn well knew; all which gave them these underlying fear of being forgotten; 2. Not a goddamn clue why or how are they alive. In their hands is their own beating like a hammer as they try to ask everyone they know why are they alive, can someone please tell them why? They shouldn’t be alive because how many times a person can really cheat death?

Being a Warden gave them a purpose and a duty, while confirming something Juno has always known. They’re dead without dying. Their life won’t be half lived or less enjoyed because they are, but they are.

Decay exists as an extant form of life or something.

And yes that means they grow into those Wardens who are almost more ghoul-spawn than person. Hungering and humming a tune no one recognises. Hard as the Legion or Hard as a Hurlock? hard to tell. Steps in rhythm with every Warden around them. Literally has the same nightmares as Alistair. Always anticipates their recruits because it’s almost like the Warden Commander has a hive mind. It’s like seeing someone go from rabbit (about to pass out at the next unexpected noise) to jackrabbit (you run into one in the middle of the night. eyes refract light. this animal has seen beyond your skull and into the darkness in ways you will never comprehend. has heard your heartbeat and will make you hear it too, despite being the silliest creature you’ve ever seen)

I am convinced that if it weren’t for Sahi, who has no interest in dying a Warden’s death, Zevran would’ve followed them to the deep roads, despite Juno trying to prevent that. 

Corypheus would’ve lasted like 5 minutes with this bastard. Sure they look like they’re about to start crying at any moment. they might. they’re practising for the funeral. Whose? The moment you see the Crossbow come out you’ll understand they mean yours.

Not even all the abandonment issues has fucked them up like the Architect did, however

Funniest thing they’ve ever done is recruiting Nathaniel, because again, imagine someone who looks in a perpetually anxious grimace speak to you in the most surefooted, authoritative tone you’ve ever heard. Sorry for you loss, guy tried to kill us and you’re a rich kid talking to an elf my guy. Anyway you have a juice appt at 9, see you later.

No one knows with what pronouns to address them when they meet them which results in stuff like them having told Sten their gender is Hunter after several tries.

Voted most likely to accidentally hack a confidential government site.

THANK GOD YOU REPOSTED I HAVE HAD TERRON MY SPIFFY FELLER ON MY MIND LIKE YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE (and also Great Uncle because for some reason they always appear together in my head). SO if I may I would like to ask 5 and 8 and maybe 7 for Caedan Amell (also my spiffy feller) if I can really be greedy 8) 8) 8)

5. letters between two of your OC’s companions about them

Excerpts from correspondence between Queen Lani Theirin-Cousland and Zevran Arainai. Both passages have been translated from the original Antivan. (featuring surprise guest @atypicalacademic's Chancellor of Ferelden, Sahi Tabris)

"...although we are able to twist their arms by reminding them who killed the archdemon. Half the time the alienage needs any kind of resource I have to say 'give me a non-racist reason' out loud to get them to shut up long enough we can push it through. I'd give Sahi access to the treasury every time it happens but we'd be cleaned out within a week."

"We could always pay you a visit in court. I am sure seeing their hero so angry on behalf of our fellow elves would chide most of them into silence. If not, you are aware my services are always available to you. I'll even throw in a discount!"

8. your OC’s doctor/healer talking about their injuries

An unsigned note with handwriting that matches Kinloch Hold's Senior Enchanter Wynne's. The note has been found shoved hastily in a desk drawer and seems to have been written without intention of sharing.

"I cannot say I've ever expected to pen these words, but thank the Maker Caedan's been proven right. Two long days and Terron's finally awake. Why the other wardens seemed so certain he would perish of his wounds is beyond me. Regardless, it is good to see them all smile again. As to the wounds themselves: Several broken ribs, as I feared. Terron is adamant we not use magic to heal them just yet. There are enough near death that need our attention more. Such a considerate young man. What would we do without him? Another skull fracture, which has already been mended. Hopefully with the blight well and truly at rest his propensity for slamming his head on every surface will cease as well. Cuts and bruising, as can be expected. No infections. He claims not to have dislocated anything. He's popped that shoulder back into place on his own so often I've no choice to consider it a lie until proven otherwise."

7. someone describing a time your OC hurt them

A journal entry from Alice Amell during her time at Skyhold.

"It was him. The little brother they stole from us then took from me. As unbearable - as abusive as the Gallows were, I'm sure we could have survived them together. You heard stories in the city, and Mama looked like she might break when I froze my wine at dinner, but I would see our little brother again. But when the templars came for me, they had already sent him across the sea. I hoped he might be at Skyhold. That the revolution would reunite us at last. I heard about what he did. His name was whispered between pages at lessons and over plates at meals. A veteran of a blight, and here I thought myself impressive for surviving Meredith. The boy following Lady Morrigan around - Kieran - he has our look. His skin and eyes are Chasind, but his cheeks and jaw and the way he stands are Amell. I asked Senior Enchanter Surana after I saw her speaking with him. I should have known from how she hedged her answers how this would go. He came back to me. Our lost brother. Everyone through history will point to the scar in the sky as a miracle, as though Caedan walking into Skyhold couldn't have brought our entire family to their knees. But when I finally approached him, when I told him who I was - I can't forget what his face did. I can't describe it. Walling himself off, from me. He'd grown so much, even taller than Father I think. Did I misremember his eyes? I always thought of them as grey. He was so cold. And his words. I can't - He didn't say as much, but it felt like staring up at a viper. Like if I did anything but turn and leave he'd kill me."

Faith versus Logic 6

Did the Prophet really go on a Skywalk?

Click here to read the previous part of this article

Many hadiths are also associated with this concept of Heaven and Hell, some of which are related to the Meraj of Rasool, which states that on his journey of Meraj, Hazur Saheb had not only seen Heaven but had also visited the Hell.

If you look at this anecdote in the Quran, then the Quran in its verse tells just this – it is a sacred caste that has taken along its fellow from Masjid-e-Haram to Masjid-e-Aqsa, around which we have set holy things… (17:01). Now you will find its evidence in hadiths, which tell that on one night (in a dream-like condition), Jibreel came to his house and took the Prophet from the Kaaba (Mecca) to the Masjid-e-Aqsa (Jerusalem) on his divinely animal ‘Burrak’ and then visited the heavens.

After going through questioning they entered the First Sky (as it happens while entering at a bungalow or factory gate), where they met Hazrat Adam Alassalam and exchanged salutes. Then they reached the Second Sky wherewith the same process they met Hazrat Yahya and Jesus— Hazrat Yusuf on the Third, Hazrat Idris on the Fourth, Hazrat Aaron on the Fifth, Hazrat Musa on the Sixth and on the Seventh Sky they met Hazrat Abraham.

How did humans start their journey on earth

On this Seventh Sky, they also saw Bait-ul-Mamur— this is that heavenly holy place which is in the straight direction of Kaaba (Then it was not known that due to rotation the earth rotates in all four directions and it does not have a straight line— now that you know it, you can’t do anything about it)… Seventy thousand angels encircle the Bait-ul-Mamur and once they do, then they don’t get the next opportunity till Judgment Day.

Here both Hazrat reached at Sidrat-ul-Muntaha— the last extent of the seventh sky. Here was a tree with elephant-like leaves and pitcher-like fruits with four canals bursting from its roots. Two secret canals flow from there in the paradise and are two others Nile and Euphrates which flow on the ground… (When the Ganges can descend from heaven, why not Nile and Euphrates), then Jibril could not go further ahead from here so the Prophet went alone.

There, not only did they see the gardens of Heaven and Nehr-e-Kausar, but they also visited Hell and saw some people getting punished. Here he received a reward of fifty Namaz’es for the community, which after the process of being intervened, persuaded and sent back by Hazrat Musa while returning, was later on edited to five Namaz’es. This description is derived from Ibne Qasir, Al Tabri, Quratbi, Sahi Muslim, Sahi Bukhari and Sunan hadiths.

Skies are envisioned as a multi-story building

This whole hypothesis is such as Sky is a seven-story building where you can reach from one section to another with the help of stairs— it is your discretion to believe it or not, but according to today’s information, we can do some investigation by getting out of this big earth.

The closest body to the Earth is the Moon, but even between it, there is such a distance that thirty piles of the earth will fit in it and if we travel at a speed of hundred kilometres per hour towards the moon, it will still take one hundred and sixty days to reach there.

Where did religion come from and how logical from the point of view of science?

Then we have a nearby planet Mars which is at a distance of 225 to 400 million km (in different conditions of rotation). Where the light also takes twenty minutes to reach, nothing can move faster than the light in space and the speed of light 3 lakh km per second. The far-flung Voyager Probe in the space, which has been running at a speed of 17 km per second, it will take hundreds of years to completely exit our solar system.

Now if we exit this solar system, we will reach the Interstellar Neighborhood where there are other solar systems. In our solar system, you can measure distance in an astronomical unit (the distance of the Sun from the Earth), but on exit, Light years has to be used as a unit to measure the distance (9.461 trillion kilometres) that is, the distance the sunlight travels in a year.

Our nearest star after the sun is Proxima Centauri, which is 4.24 light-years away from us— if you try to reach it at the speed of the Voyager vehicle, it will take thousands of years. Now, this solar system is a part of the which galaxy, the galaxy itself is spread over one lakh light-years, in which there are twenty thousand crore stars and planets and the interesting thing is that we can see only one percent of them at night.

Now if we go even a little further, we will get the Local Group of Galaxies— which has 54 galaxies and it spreads (from one end to the other) to One Crore light-years.

And when you zoom out this circle, you will find Virgo supercluster — whose spread is 11 Crore light-years, so think how big will this circle be— but this big circle is also equal to just one grain of rye in the Laniakea supercluster, in which there are one Lakhs galaxies and its spread is 52 Crore light-years.

what possibilities are there in the universe outside our planet

Now, this is also not everything— rather it is just a small part of the Titanic Laniakea supercluster, and the Laniakea supercluster is just a small part of the Observable Universe, which we have been able to see till date. In which there are two lakh crores Galaxies in total, the distance from our Earth to one end of this is 4,650 Crore light-years, that its total dispersion is 9,300 million light-years.

Our position is almost nothing according to the universe

The age of our universe is believed to be 137 billion years because the light before that could not be detected yet. According to the Cosmic Inflation Theory, there can also be Multiverse across it, with no accurate estimate of the exact dispersion and it is possible that the entire observable universe keeps just a status like of a football on Earth (in comparison to the entire super universe).

However, such a large local group with 54 galaxies is only 0.00000000001 percent of the Observable Universe, and it has so many planets, which are more than the particles of sand on the entire earth. Think about where we exist in the Universe and what is our status.

Think to stand in front of one of the deserts and there are some micro bacterias sticking on one of the particles, would you write their fates and deeds? Make Heaven or Hell for them? Only a person with religious intelligence can think of this, not someone with logical intelligence. However, now put the whole scenario in front and think for yourself where is the first Sky, where is the second one and what is the distance between them – and where can the word of God be?

If God is there then how can it be from the point of view of science

What is the practical knowledge of people called ‘Aalim’?

Well, you will find a lot of people around you who keep memorized data related to Hadiths, Puranas and they keep giving their expert views on everything, but do you really think they are knowledgeable people… one day in my circle, I had asked a simple question in the conversation going on a religious issue between these types of people. That whatever you are saying, how do you know that? What is your source of information?

A respected one mentioned the names of some Islamic books, now that the gathering was of Sunnis, then obviously the books were related to them.

 How to write a book in Microsoft word  

I told them three forms of one incident – one was in their book, the other in the book of Shia Hazrat and the third version was the version of independent Muslim historians. The interesting thing is that all three were different from each other… and then I asked if there was a guarantee that one of these or your writing is correct.

Apparently, there was no answer. In such cases, no one happens to have any argument other than unwavering faith in his writing. The problem with most people is that they have read one-sided books (only related to their creed) and they don’t even know what the people on the opposite side have written on the same issue.

Yes, since childhood, it is filled in the raw minds by codifying that our writing is right and what all others have written is wrong. They ​​grow up with these values and from personal life to the virtual world of social media, they are seen fighting with sticks, that whatever is written in their books, whatever they have read-only that is the real and the last truth.

Such a tremendous belief, as if they had been an eyewitness to those things. Even for a moment, there is no doubt in them that there can be lies and adulteration in the things that reached them.

LISTEN. I have so many questions and I will start with these for now but I WILL COME BACK IF YOU LET ME

Claudia Amell: 🍾: Does your OC believe in luck? If so, do they have any charm or ritual they do before a stressful event? 🍕: How does an OC spend a lazy day?

Kalki my beloved Cadash: 🍹: Does your OC have any funny anecdotes told about them? 🍓: Does your OC have any particular scents they like? Or hate?

Sahi Tabris: 🍻: What's your OC's favourite comfort ritual? How do they calm themselves down after a rough day? 🌽: How does this OC feel about acts of affection? What's their favourite act of affection, physical or emotional? :D :D

You should always come back 👀

🍾 Nah, Claudia doesn't really believe in Luck. She believes in survival of the fittest. I don't think she even pauses to think of herself as lucky or unlucky tbh. Some things just Are, and if she works hard enough, she'll overcome any obstacles. The most she did is go "Maker help me", before she cast at the archdemon.

🍕 She doesn't ...Have lazy days. If there's too much downtime she just gets restless, and starts training, or double checking correspondence. Although, after she got with Loghain she does permit herself to like, take a walk with him if she has the time.

🍹After a pretty stressful publication run, sweet, unassuming Kalki Cadash has held her editor at knifepoint once. Her brothers, and Varric, Never shuts up about it.

🍓 Kalki likes the scent of the forest, particularly the dark, rich soil of Ostian woods. She's highly likely to pull a Sigrun and sniff mud, tbh. She also likes the scent of freshly washed fabric; if she's having a bad day she's probably snuggled in her sheets to inhale them.

🍻 First of all he has to admit he's had a rough day. In his early days as Ferelden's chancellor he was more prone to overworking himself and spiralling and passing out at his desk. He's got a better hold on it now, so if things are rough he sometimes just Leaves the Palace to go see his family. If Zevran's around he could always use the extra pair of hands to drag him away from his office and get some fresh air. He's obviously very convincing.

🌽 Sahi's fairly affectionate, Especially having grown up in such a closely knit community. He sometimes struggles with permitting himself to recieve it, but give him long, lingering hugs and he simply melts. Its not that he Doesn't want to talk about his problems, it's just that what helps him is the assurance that he isn't alone, that his loved ones are safe.

Tatiana Amell- "Witch of the Waking Sea" (no that's not a courtly title but wouldn't you rather be an urban legend too)*

Vijaya Aeducan- Deshyr of Val Royeaux, Princess of Orzammar

Varshini Aeducan - Owner of the famed Paragon's Palaquin in Llomerryn, liasion to the surface for merchants of Kal-Sharok

ideally i would like 🍇 for all of them but i shall limit myself to sahi, karuna, and zurkhi

OWO

🍇: What sort of friend are they? Where are they in the group dynamic?

Sahi: The snark. He has a snide remark about just about everything, although he's far less of a cynic than he shows himself to be. That said, he's also the one goading you to eat something weird on a dare.

Karuna: The quiet, bookish friend with a resting poker face, and one of those kids in school who had Very Neat Handwriting. Is a little touchy about her stuff but will awkwardly offer to cover your shift should you need a break. In the Circle her detractors labelled her as the First Enchanters pet, but her close friends know that she secretly wishes to commit acts of violence.

Zurkhi: The Relentless Idealist. He goes on long winded monologues about The State Of The World, is definitely sleep deprived 90 percent of the time; he's also very affectionate the most likely to randomly tell you how much he loves you and how you deserve better in life and he will strive to give it to you. Someone has to stand by to haul him away from the authorities. Unless the authority is Nadia, then haul him towards her.

give me number 10 for each of those warden questions

How did Mahariel feel about Zathrian’s clan, and their situation with the werewolves?

The curse itself scared Gaadha, made her feel like every place she could call home where being taken- by humans, by monsters, by fate itself. As for the conflict, as Dalish herself, she obviously felt deeply for and connected to Zathrian's story, but she couldn't reconcile with the fact that he refuses to break the curse, even for the sake of their own people. She never wanted to turn her bow on a Keeper, but she felt like it was for the best that these magics are not left to linger where it could affect others. So she effects the reconciliation- defeats him in battle and persuades him to relinquish the curse. Lanaya becomes Keeper, curse is broken, hunters are cured.

At this point, she'd been grappling pretty heavily with the feeling of having lost her own clan, of having failed them and Tamlen, and of not deserving to carry what she had been taught. Saving the clan felt like a reminder of her own capability to good. More importantly, however, the clan's welcome and being around familiar faces after a period of intense alienation and loneliness was in itself healing. Speaking to the Elders of the clan, as well as the new Keeper, taking part in their rituals in the time they were there, all helped her begin to process her own guilt and pain, and was definitely a huge turning point in her recovery. There are some things only your community can do for you, after all.

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

For Sahi? Not good. Coming back home to find everyone he knows being locked into cages by humans, then sold into slavery, all under the knowledge and permission of Loghain..yeah. It sends him into an enormous spiral- of anger and hurt and despair and relived trauma, and it does not go away after he's saved them. He felt small, and furious with himself for feeling small, that he'd always been fighting a losing battle, that no matter what he did, he would always come home to this. Luckily, Zevran, and later, Shianni, helped him through it enough so he could gather himself for the Landsmeet, and at least turn the crushing despair into anger. His decision to put Alistair alone on the throne was one taken in the determination that he didn't, couldn't trust anyone else. A human, least of all. I don't think he ever forgot, and I think it takes years for him to fully process the pain, the magnitude of what he saw there.

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

Tatiana Amell was- conflicted. On the one hand, she'd waited desperately to see the day the whole damn thing comes burning to the ground; she hates the Circle, hates most people in it save for those she considers her friends. On the other hand, the Templars proposed a massacre, and she knew there were children inside. I don't think she was sad to see the Circle fall, however. She was mostly concerned with salvaging whoever was alive, and Not Letting The Templars Win. She'd have been happier if it was never put back together at all.

Tarannum Surana was crushed to see what had happened. She'd always known that Uldred was sketchy, and had warned her peers against trusting him, particularly those with libertarian beliefs. But she couldn't have foreseen just how badly things could go. People who died, or turned into abominations were people she'd befriended, promised her assistance to, especially the elven mages she'd tried to protect. Besides, her best friend Dahlia was nowhere to be found, only to be presumed to have met the same fate. Because she'd initially reported Jowan to Irving, she was planning to use that favor as leverage to get them to honor the treaty and to offer her a stronger position at the Circle after the Blight, and now the Circle was just..gone. On the other hand, she was well-aware of the opportunity that saving the Circle itself would bring her in terms of power within it, so she vowed to do so at any cost.

How did Brosca feel about returning to Orzammar, amid the fight for the crown?

Rahvi was glad to see that her sister had improved her lot. Wasn't at all surprised to see that the nobles were at it again, and even without Rica's involvement, she would've supported Prince Bhelen. She knew all too well what Harrowmont and his cronies enabled in Dust Town. Seeing Dust Town after having known another life is...more harrowing that she'd expected it to be. So was tracking the Carta; a lot of the footmen were those she saw herself in, those she knew had no option, but what had to be done had to be done. She forgave Leske after the initial bite of betrayal, but killing Jarvia took something out of her. Rahvi had once rather hero-worshipped Jarvia, and had something of a crush on her, considering her methods the only way in which she herself could survive. All she could think of when she struck that killing blow, was "I wanted to be you. What does that make me?"

She relished asking the Assembly's steward why they didn't seem all that bothered that Caridin's Crown rested in the hands of a "brand" as long as it'd make its way to one of their heads.

How did Aeducan feel about returning to Orzammar, amid the fight for the crown?

Court was just a game Vijaya was too good at. She and Bhelen had long discussed policies they'd planned to implement, and she knew that his ideas were progressive, and what Orzammar needed. As much as it crushed her and as much as it felt like her hands were tied, she's a patriot and a reformer, and loved her country too much to jeopardize its most marginalized under Harrowmont's rule just so she could get her revenge on Bhelen. She got some measure of satisfaction when she essentially swept into Bhelen's chamber, pretended like his betrayal never happened, and took charge, all business-like, competent Older Sister Vijaya talking down to her Baby Brother who's made, once again, a mess of things. He knew he needed her help, and couldn't refuse it, even as he chafed at her tone. A lot of his maneuverings (and his policies) were her ideas, and she knew him well, and had enough agents still loyal to her that she could make his Court her bitch from the surface. Bhelen was crowned before he even knew it, with the full knowledge of whom he owed it to.

If she cried when she held that crown in her hand and had to let it go, if her heart ached because she would've supported Bhelen to the throne if he'd just told her, if she was heartbroken that she couldn't say goodbye to her father, if she had to relive the trauma of her exile when she went in search of Paragon Branka, and had to hide her shaking hands because she was an Aeducan, dammit, she was once Commander of Orzammar, the deep roads were her fucking playground- then that was a secret between her, the Stone, and Morrigan.

How did Cousland feel about/react to seeing Howe again? About eventually killing him?

Aurelia: "Do your worst. You've no idea what I've battled to get this far. You are the puniest monster I will have had to face." She'd lost her family, her innocence, her sense of security, her sense of trust and her ability to sleep soundly- she'd seen genlocks with more honor than that man, and, hardened by the Blight, Howe was one of the easiest battles she'd fought.

Leonard: Howe asked him if he intended to go hide behind his sister again. Leo spat in his face, split him in half with his greatsword, went back to the Landsmeet to become King-Consort. He had nothing to prove to anyone.

✨❤️‍🔥 About CumbiaZevran ❤️‍🔥✨

I’m Jules (they/them), and welcome to my DA blog. This is a sideblog so I will follow from @sunrisenfool, which is my main blog.

I’m 28, mixed latine and slav, and a person of colour. I like world-building and creating fake legal systems for fantasy worlds. My favourite class to play is rogues, and my favourite race are elves because that’s the fantasy race I decided to latch on as a person of colour to project feelings into the narrative. You know how it is sometimes.

Sometimes I have very particular opinions about certain things in canon, but if I ever talk about them please don’t take them as a personal attack because unless someone is being an asshole, harmful or both in my posts, I will never address things personally. I just think differently.

I have 2 primary worldstates (I have more, but these two are the ones I actually post about) and 2 primary WIPs. You can find information on them below, but feel free to ask me questions!

✨❤️‍🔥 The Worldstates ❤️‍🔥✨

Worldstate, Side A: ‘What is Right Over What is Easy’

Song: Thus Always To Tyrants - The Oh Hellos

Warden: 🌙 Juno Mahariel 🌙 (they/them)

Stats: Rogue, crowsbow sharpshooter. Nonbinary bisexual. Ranger, assassin and scout legionarie. Convincing. Dalish hunter, Warden-Commander of Ferelden. Best friends with Alistair, Morrigan (used to have a crush on) and Rahvi Brosca (@atypicalacademic), romances Zevran and Sahi Tabris (@atypicalacademic).

Protects the circle mages, crowns Bhelen and later supports Vijaya Aeducan’s (@atypicalacademic) coup. Does the ritual with Morrigan, slayer of the Archdemon with Rhavi Brosca.

Twin and youngest sibling of @atypicalacademic‘s Gaadha Mahariel and Eravan Mahariel. Recruits everyone but Loghain, whom they kill in a duel claiming the Vir Banal’ras. Keeps Duncan’s dagger until their death. Saves Amaranthine, their Keep survives. Helps rebuild the Wardens in Inquisition.

Dies a Warden’s Death.

Champion: 🎭 Rowan Hawke 🎭 (she/her)

Stats: Rogue, dual wielder. Nonbinary, bisexual. Duelist and assassin. Charismatic, helpful. Smuggler and Champion of Kirkwall. Bethany survives and becomes a circle mage. Best friends with Varric, Bela and Merrill. Romances Fenris.

Cousin of @atypicalacademic‘s Maxim and Milena Hawke. Does not help Anders but opposes Meredith. Eventually makes up with Sebastian. Is enemies with Aveline.

Knew Malcolm’s secret and would’ve taken it to her death were it not for the events of Legacy. Survives the siege of Adamant. Married to Fenris, helps him in his travels as the Blue Wraith - they are eventually known as the Blue Wraith and the High Red Queen.

Inquisitor: 🌿 Arviraven ‘River’ Lavellan 🌿 (he/they);

Stats: Rift mage, scholar of the veil and arcane physicist. Nurse and First to the Keeper. Believes in the reunification of the Dales under the elves. Never claims to be chosen by Andraste. Faithful to the Elvhen Gods. Known as the ‘Herald of Hope’, ‘Vassal of Dirthamen’, and ‘Keeper of Thedas’.

Sides with the mages, supports Briala, makes Leliana Divine. Keeps the Inquisition. Formerly friends with Solas and will stop him no matter the cost. If their people had value then, they have value now.

Arviraven is well known and well connected with various Dalish clans and some city alienages. More than a First or apprentice, Arviraven was raised to be able to take on the task of the reunification of the elvhen and the reclaiming of the Dales. Cheery, cheeky, honest and nurturing, a diplomatic scholar who sees beyond the world that is today into the world that could be tomorrow.

Nonbinary bisexual. Romances Dorian and Navin Cadash (@atypicalacademic). Eldest sibling of Viera Lavellan. Used to date Merrill up until the first year after Act I, during the events of Dragon Age 2. Best friend of Cassandra, Josephine and Eravan Mahariel.

Worldstate, Side B: ‘Blood and Tradition’ - This is both the mirror to ‘What is Right’ and sometimes coexistent with it. Both worldstates should be understood, if not together, in relation to one another, and cannot be understood without the other.

Song: The Tradition - Halsey

Warden: 🩸 Iraya Surana 🩸 (she/her)

Stats: Mage, elven, despises being called “of Kinoch Hold”. Trans and a lesbian. Blood Mage, Arcane warrior, Keeper. Romances Morrigan and Vijaya Aeducan (@atypicalacademic). Best friends with Tatiana Amell (@atypicalacademic) and Juno Mahariel, who takes over as Warden-Commander.

Protects the circle mages, crowns Vijaya Aeducan.

‘Disappears’, eventually comes back as some make-shift Keeper to a ragtag group of lost elves. Gets Mythal Vallaslin in her 30s.

Champion: ⛈ Carlota ‘Charlie’ Hawke ⛈ (she/her)

CW: Manipulation and gaslighting from a parental figure

Stats: Mage, mixed elven (doesn’t seem it). Bisexual. Blood & force mage. Despite being known as ‘Charlie Hawke’ she is an Amell. In my worldstates, when Revka disappears she takes with her the only child who has not been discovered to be a mage yet, who in this case is Charlie. To protect her, she convinces her life as an Amell was not true, asking Charlie to refer to herself as Charlie Hawke and to tell people Revka’s name was Leandra.

Charlie doesn’t remember her father. She also features as champion in @atypicalacademic‘s worldstate ‘Hell and High Water’, making her the sibling of her Amells: Claudia, Andrea, Xavier and Tatiana. Her Carver becomes a Warden.

Known as ‘Bloody Charlie’, ‘Bloodlust Carlota’ or ‘Queen of the Maleficars’, she is a highly demonised figure out of her usage of the mage rebellion to rise to power. Romances Anders. While originally angry about Anders’ bombing of the Chantry because it interfered with her rise to power (which matters to her more than anything), she supports the rebellion and claims herself in line to be Viscountess before it starts.

Romances Anders. Enemies with Varric, Aveline, Fenris and Merrill. Her only ‘friend��� is Isabela.

Inquisitor: ⚔️ Viera Lavellan ⚔️ (he/him)

Stats: Warrior, Dalish, First Knight of Elgar’nan. Reaver. Bisexual. Believes in the reunification of the Dales under the elves. Youngest brother of Arviraven Lavellan, hobbyist jeweller.

Conscripts the Templars, allows Arviraven to pass as him in Redcliffe, though most of the mages are lost as an Inquisition force. Romances @atypicalacademic‘s Sylvaine ‘Mesmer’ Seyras. Enemies with Solas and faithful to the Elvhen, even more so than their Gods, for he is a Knight of Elgar’nan.

He believes the most in Arviraven, thinking that his eldest sibling ought to make the political decisions. Keeps the Inquisition, abdicating in favour of Arviraven.

He’s best friends with Iron Bull and loves tormenting Dorian as his in-law.

✨❤️‍🔥 The WIPs❤️‍🔥✨

And The Lovers, Do They Dream? (Worldstate: What Is Right Over What Is Easy): A gothic romance meets magical realism retelling of the romance of Dorian Pavus and Arviraven Lavellan.

Also described as “Crimson peak with a happy ending meets Apollo throwing his pride-month-edition ball of prophecy at guy already on his way towards radicalisation.”

The Song of Dirthalath (Worldstate: What Is Right Over What Is Easy): He has had many names in history. Before he was disowned, he was Quenath’enal. Afterwards, he was known as Vir A’dirth Revas’an’dar or ‘Spymaster’. This is the song of a High-born ancient elf born into nobility, who lost everything and everyone, only to gain them again and lose them again. Over and over.

This is a story of the price of resurrection. This is the story that sings ‘Ara Ma’thalan Lethandar, Dirtalath Viradirth’, for we know of the Creator but not of what was supposed to happen to them: Dirthamen one day would rise in Elgar’nan’s place, with Abundance to his right and Will to his left. This is the story of the forsaken, should-have-been, Elvhen God of Will.

Alternatively: Prickly, ancient asshole with a heart of gold lives a thinly veiled allegory for the trauma of survival.
