Cora Lavellan's grave in Here Lies the Abyss would say powerlessness. Powerless to help those she loves, powerless to help her people, powerless to help herself.

Well I did ask for angst so i brought this on myself lol

Oh no ok uhhh I'll just do this for all of my inquisitors!

Nayeli: Boredom (she's terrified of becoming bored with the happiness she's found because she's very much a thrill seeker and needs to be entertained in life.)

Wren: Abandonment (*glares at Solas for seeing that headstone and STILL ditching her in a clearing and then leaving for two years before stealing her arm and fucking off AGAIN*)

Luca: Losing His Mind (specifically his intellect because that's a huge part of who he is....so something like dementia or some other similar impairment would be his worst fear)

Rosemary: Loss (of her son mostly but also just as a general concept)

Yvainne: Her Magic (her mother was an escaped saarebas and so yvainne grew up seeing the scars of the mutilation inflicted upon her mother just for having magic. As a mage herself she fears that fate more than anything)

Katarina: The Dark (not necessarily like she has to sleep with a nightlight just....she was young when she left dust town but she still remembers the dark, cramped slums filled with the desperate, the hungry, the sick, and the dying. Knowing that would be her one day. Clutching tightly to a small rock, the only thing close to a toy she had. Abandoned, forgotten, so small in that abyss as she stared up at the glittering lights of orzammar proper and tears flowed down across the brand that meant she would never know their glow. She fears that kind of darkness.)

Annnnnd I'll consider Evander and Pippa for a bit and add them on later!

Thanks so much for the ask! :)

which of your inquisitors, if any, drank from the well of sorrows and why? how do they feel about it now?

This has taken me SO long to answer >.

Of my eight quizzies only three of them drank from the Well.

Nayeli Trevelyan: NOPE

Wren Lavellan: Did drink from the Well. She’s next in line to be the Keeper of her clan, the Well contains part of the elven history that’s been lost to the Dalish, she’s very much in the “this is my heritage” camp when it comes to this choice. But she also would rather take the risks associated than have someone else do so. Now after finding that she is bound to the will of Mythal and discovering everything she has in Trespasser…i wouldn’t say she regrets her decision, she just feels a little lost in it? Like she’s just a piece in a game much bigger than her and she’s being tossed around by the whims of beings much greater than herself. The reality of her fate not really having belonged to her since the conclave is a little jarring and the Well only adds to that fact. But Wren is nothing if not determined to help, to heal, to learn, and to do everything in her power to protect her people from the storm to come despite this.

Rosemary Lavellan: Did NOT drink from the Well. As much as she has a hard time trusting anyone else with the knowledge and power it provides, Rosemary’s only goal throughout Inquisition is to make it home to her son and to keep him safe. There was no telling what consequences drinking from the Well might have and Rosemary didn’t want to take that risk. After learning of the Well’s compulsion and how it entails being bound to Mythal, Rosemary was only reassured that she’d made the right choice. The only battle she wanted to fight was the battle for the safety of her loved ones. She was glad not to be trapped by the possibility of being the instrument of someone else’s agenda.

Evander Trevelyan: NOPE

Yvainne Adaar: NOPE

Pippa Cadash: NOPE

Luca Lavellan: Did drink from the Well. Luca’s reason was pretty simple, he’s all about learning everything he possibly can about anything and he was presented with a pool of knowledge. Honestly I’m surprised Morrigan even got a word in before the boy cannon-balled into the Well. Clearly there wasn’t a lot of critical thinking involved in this choice so when presented with the repercussions of his actions Luca was just kind of:

but he accepts the consequences. He still considers the knowledge a gift but that may be because he hasn’t experienced the consequences in full force yet.

Katarina Cadash: Did drink from the Well. She did this mostly because she didn’t really trust anyone else with knowledge so powerful. She’s very sure of herself and assumed that even if she hadn’t been able to use the Well she would have defeated Corypheus some other way. Better than that knowledge being used against her or the Inquisition. Now she doesn’t so much regret the decision as she’s just….determined to fight against the consequences? I suppose that’s a form of regret but hey at least she got a pet dragon for a minute there?

Thanks so much for asking!! :)

whomst did your adaar romance?

Blackwall is the luckiest man in Thedas lol

But seriously before I played Yvainne I saw art of an Adaar with her tiny fake warden bf and I thought it was so adorable I had to have an Adaar romance Blackwall!

I always plan my characters and their romances before I create them so she was always destined to be with Blackwall ^^

Thanks for asking!! 😊

what do your inquisitors plan to do with Solas?

hmmm well if they get the chance to deal with Solas in da4 (and are not replaced 100% by a new protagonist) then originally 7/9 of them were going to try to redeem him in some way....but with the implications of the red lyrium idol being involved in his plans (via that minute long teaser trailer) I’m not entirely sure how they’ll feel anymore? I think most of them will stick to wanting to save him from himself if possible but all of them would choose the safety of Thedas over Solas if forced to make that choice...so that went to a dark place but anyway.

Personally I don’t feel that the veil coming down is inherently a bad thing just...whatever rip off the band-aid solution Solas has come up with is a little extreme for Thedas to deal with all at once. And honestly Solas, my dude last time you altered the fabric of reality you didn’t like the result and have been kicking yourself ever since. I think the veil needs to and will come down but I also think this requires a delicate approach so that people have time to adapt? I firmly believe that whether you support Solas or not in da4 the veil will be gone by the end and the next game will be about dealing with the fallout of that event. But that’s my personal feeling and you asked about my Inquisitors ^^”

Nayeli Trevelyan: Being a mage herself she always wanted to know more about magic and the fade, spirits and demons, everything about being a mage. Solas was happy to share his expertise with her and they were fast friends! In trespasser she chose to try to redeem Solas. She wants to save her friend but if the cost of that salvation is too high for thedas to pay she may have to put her personal feelings aside. She wants to help him but more than anything she has to protect the people she loves, her family, the innocent people of thedas…. However I intend to try my best to keep thedas and Solas safe because I don’t want my Inquisitor to have to kill her friend/mentor it would devastate her because she firmly believes that she can do it all….but the reality of the situation might not be kind to her beliefs…

Wren Lavellan: it’s Complicated™ and really I’m not sure so I might be figuring that out as I try to explain how she feels about everything….here goes…Wren is my Inquisitor who romanced Solas. Wren loves him and she would have done just about anything for him at one point BUT the break up and two years apart have hardened her heart a bit. Does she still love him? With all of her heart, unconditionally, without a doubt. Does she want to save him? Yes if there is a chance she will take it and stubbornly refuse to give up on that hope. If there is nothing to be done for him, no redemption, what would she be willing to sacrifice in the end? She would readily sacrifice herself to save thedas, she would even sacrifice her heart and fight the man she loves to save innocents, but she would not sacrifice thedas to save Solas. She hopes against hope that it won’t come to that and that he can still be reasoned with but she will do what she must for her people and all people of thedas. She is a healer before anything else and she only wants to help everyone but that may not be possible this time and “sometimes the healer has the bloodiest hands” as it were…and part of a keeper’s duty is to protect the elves from the dread wolf. Wren has some hard decisions ahead of her and for my part I just want her to be happy and if I can do that without killing everyone in thedas then I will jump at the chance because I love Wren a lot??

Rosemary Lavellan: has no time to run around trying to save someone already intent on fucking up...again. Rosemary is less connected to Dalish tradition than most seeing as her mother was a city elf who joined clan Lavellan when Rosemary was still a baby. Rosemary has always had two kinds of education in the way elves should be because she grew up mentored by those with two very different perspectives. Unlike most of the Dalish children, Rosemary never thought the stories about the pantheon all that inspiring and in fact Rosemary is more inclined to say that she’s Andrastian like her mother. This is all to say that to her Solas is simply a man like any other and the fact that he’s a figure from the stories of her childhood makes no difference to her. He’s a man who made mistakes and already destroyed the world once and she’s not about to let him do it again no matter what. Rosemary got along with Solas in inquisition but upon learning about his plan and the apparent inherent casualties that would result she immediately opposed him. Rosemary is a mother and her entire goal in Inquisition is to keep her son safe, Solas is endangering that safety with his plans and Rosemary refuses to let that happen. If she has to fight another “god” to keep her son (and now Josephine as well) safe she will do so, without hesitation. That’s something I think Solas knew when he met her in Trespasser, he’d never have expected any different from her, she’s only a mother protecting her child from a monster.

Luca Lavellan: His best friend in the Inquisition (not counting Dorian) is confusingly and surprisingly enough Solas. However, neither Solas or Luca would actually say they were friends. Luca is drawn to the vast knowledge Solas has and Solas is happy to share. Sometimes they debate, and anyone who will listen to Luca talk is someone he’ll spend time with. Luca is all too happy to play pranks on Solas with Sera. He also tends to question every opinion or thought the man ever voices which is pretty irritating for Solas at times. But typically the decisions Luca makes are ones that Solas approves of and really they don’t disagree on anything too major. They aren’t aware of it themselves but they spend a lot of time together just talking about every academic subject under the sun. They would say that they don’t particularly like each other though. When Luca told Solas he would redeem him and try to save him it was as much a shock to him as it was to Solas and i imagine they both stared at each other in confusion for a solid minute both trying to figure out if they’d heard Luca correctly….but that would have been a much less dramatic scene than the one we were given lol

Katarina Cadash: two dwarves that have an interest in magic and an elven mage walk into a rotunda- jokes aside that’s essentially why Solas and Kat got along. At first, Katarina was as wary of magic as many dwarves are but after being around mages in the Inquisition she began to trust it. Then she met Dagna, another dwarf who left Orzammar like Kat did, and the two were fast friends (who only blew up a little bit of the ramparts by accident stop being dramatic, Cullen). To Kat’s surprise Solas was usually happy to discuss whatever she and Dagna were working on and even add some ideas of his own to their work (initially surprising Kat in that he could actually be fun), in fact the three could often be found chatting in the rotunda about magical theory. So Kat and Solas grew to be close friends along with Dagna. After the revelations in Trespasser Kat wanted to try to redeem Solas simply because he was her friend. She also has to believe that even if they work against each other somehow she, Dagna, and Solas can come up with some alternate plan to deal with the veil just by putting their heads together like they used to all that time ago. Kat’s frustration is that since Solas isn’t telling her everything she feels like she’s trying to solve a puzzle with half the pieces but she’s determined to try. However, like my other inquisitors, if it comes down to it she’ll put Thedas first.

Pippa Cadash: she just.....never got along with Solas at all to begin with so deciding not to redeem him wasn’t a surprise for either of them tbh (also haven’t finished her playthrough so potentially more on her feelings later)

Evander Trevelyan: haven’t finished his playthrough but i think he’ll redeem Solas...just because Evander is just.....naive i guess? not really naive just...good.... he just wants to believe the best of everyone and he wants to believe that Solas doesn’t want to do this and hurt so many people. But again....it would hurt Evander’s kind spirit but if he had to he’d choose the safety of Thedas over Solas

Yvainne Adaar: she’ll try to redeem Solas but tbh I need to flesh out her character more before I fully understand why....it will likely stem from the suffering her mother endured in being a saarebas under the qun and the fact that fear of magic as an aberration from the norm is what brought her mother such suffering. Tearing the veil down would bring magic back and maybe then everyone would have to face it as the new normal and mages (especially qunari mages) wouldn’t need to suffer anymore. However, as much as she wants to live in a world like that, Yvainne is not willing to sacrifice the lives of innocents to get there and she will try to redeem Solas but if she can’t then she won’t hesitate to do what must be done.

Wow that got really lengthy ^^”

Thanks for the ask though!! :D
