#the chargers are a band of misfits from a wide range of backgrounds and the inquisition is a religious order full of andraste's faithful.

YEAH IT WOULD BE FUCKED UP IF THEY WERE THE ONLY ONES WHO SURVIVED. WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT. (you're brilliant)

i need to check my inbox more often bc i did not see this before but YEAH WOULDN'T IT BE??

it also does two things; it isolates krem further from the rest of the inquisiton in the early days when his safety is constantly being threatened, and it puts a heavier weight to the bonds he still has with the other chargers that are still alive. he's grieving, he's angry, he's guilt-ridden at being the only one to survive the conclave, and he's alone. krem is a tevinter man that has been thrown into an orlesian-ferelden political and religious mess and has been lorded as the herald of andraste. and so ontop of balancing the loss of the other chargers with his new duties as herlad, the suspicion over the last man alive being from teviniter only further divides the people around him. no one knows how to feel about krem!

and with the chargers who lived, given the fact that there are so few left, it solidifies their bonds with each other. instead of being a party of something like 20, they're down to just 7. they think krem died with everyone else for weeks before they find out otherwise and join up with the inquisition. it creates a strange sort of "us vs them" mentality with the chargers and the inquisition; the inquisition hasn't exactly been kind to krem even though he has done everything he can to help them, and he can't exactly get up and leave. it ends up being less of a job to the chargers and more of a necessity- they're there for krem and since they've already lost so many, they're not losing him too.
