Dawn Before the Battle of River Dane

I'm so happy to share what I've been working on the last few weeks for @dacreateathon! This is the first illustration I've finished in nearly two years and it felt so great to be inspired to create again 💕

Check it out on AO3 here and the full collection here!

Countdown to DAtV, day 2!

Art of The Stolen Throne trio that's pretty old, but that I still really like ^_^

If you want to join in on the Countdown hashtag, share a DA creation of yours that you've been wanting to repost! Let's share our old creations to get hyped for the new game!

There's such a visceral feeling to walking around in the Ortan Thaig with Alistair in Origins. He has his father's sword, and he's walking through the same places his father walked not once, but twice. Where his mother walked. Where Duncan walked.

And he just.. has no idea. I mean, shit, this is basically where he was conceived lol

History is repeating itself, and he's none the wiser. And the warden doesn't know this either, but me? I'm pausing the game every 5 minutes just to take it all in. I'm analyzing every spot to see how it matches up with the book and what I pictured. The implications of this have me gnawing at the walls. I'm feeling feelings fr.

Loghain (The Stolen Throne)

[one-eyedqueer]

it’s might be silly, even stupid and anything else you will call it, but this fact? i feel like i won something today. as a gay man who needs to headcanon straight men to feel safe and represented.

loghain was my favorite character in media for years. as polish person who is patriot and passioned in politics and history, i gets him even more. as a trans son without father approval, seeing his relationship with anora… i am crying and throwing. he is everything for me as fictional character.

he is old veteran giving me comfort. and now, it’s not just headcanon when he is canonically queer.

i know David Gaider won’t see this, but, his books means a world to me, the same as whole dragon age franchise.

never kill yourself. take care and love yourself.

I finished reading The Stolen Throne. Tell me, why am I giggling and kicking my feet about Loghain Mac Tir...girlies I get it now I really do

[inquisimer]

for a moment (the sun knew of you too)

Oh, Icarus! For all you have fallen, still you flew! And, for a moment, the sun knew of you, too.

The first of my pieces written for @dragonageannual 2025! A short character study of Loghain at the end of the Battle of River Dane.

read it on ao3 here, or read below the cut!

-

Loghain wore the leather armor his father made for good luck, and good luck it brought. From the moment the rebel army crested the ridge above the River Dane, they owned the field. His arrows had tasted more Orlesian blood this day than the entire year before, and for every fallen rebel soldier, at least three Chevaliers fell with them.

That they succeeded so was a testament to the belief in their hearts. Their number ranged from seasoned Legion veterans to eager farmhands who hardly knew which end to grip a sword by. They were undisciplined and disorganized and chaotic.

They were victorious.

Rowan’s cavalry charge routed the remaining Chevaliers. Those still able attempted to flee across the river, launching half-empty rafts in their haste to escape the rebels’ fury. They left behind their wounded and dead, including their commander, who bellowed anger at their retreating backs as he lay prone and bloody on the ground.

So much for chivalry, Loghain thought bitterly. Unsurprising, though. He’d known chivalry to be dead for years, and none of these pretenders would have had any claim to it before, anyhow.

He stepped over corpses, retrieving arrows as he went. When he finally stood over the fallen commander, his quiver was full once more. But he hooked his bow to his back.

“Mongrel dog lord!” spat the Orlesian. “This means nothing! You are nothing compared to the might of—“

In one smooth motion, Loghain picked up the man’s longsword and drove it through his throat. The ensuing silence lasted for all of a heartbeat, then a raucous cheer rose from the patchwork regiment around him. Pride swelled within him as he pulled the sword free.

Years ago, his father had demanded he save the prince. But this was where Gareth Mac Tir’s legacy lived on—in the people that fought for each other and for their homeland. For what was right.

“All hail Loghain Mac Tir!” The cry came from Rowan, and he knew without looking that she would be grinning from her perch atop her horse. “All hail the Hero of River Dane!”

Across the field, everyone took up the cry. Loghain could not even begrudge them for it, not when their faces were bright and spirits uplifted for the first time in months. He looked as many as he could directly in the eye and etched the moment in his mind.

The fight was not yet over. But the enemy was on the run, and when Maric returned, the stolen throne would be within their reach. Bellowing in triumph, Loghain thrust the hard-won sword up to the sky and redoubled cries of victory echoed off the mountainside.

“The Hero of River Dane! All hail the Hero of River Dane!”

[veshialles]

damn kind of obsessed with the fact that The Warden and Loghain basically had the same start to their heroes journeys

[baelonthebrave]

rowan deserved to fuck loghain in the STREET after listening to maric cheat on her with some random girl he met yesterday who is trying to kill him. if they don’t fuck before the end of this book I’m going to david gaider’s house. girl you deserve so much more than a blond man!!!!

[pumpkincalico]

Maric, rowan and loghain have SUCH  chokehold on me it isnt funny

[hylorien]

Before reading The Stolen Throne I thought Cailan was goofy, heroic, and charming, but since reading TST he just makes me sad

[notebooks-and-laptops]

I think that Bioware should have let me write The Stolen Throne based on a pitch by David Gaider because I think I would have done a better job of it than he did

[xdevil-kidx]

Sketched a young Loghain with his loser wife Maric. 😂 Those two and Rowan and Katriel have a special place in my heart. No one can tell me those two haven't kissed , Gaider was just a coward.
