drg is a sleeper agent. even the smallest mention of dwarves immediately causes a drg player to black out and wake up to 29 consecutive comments of rock and stone
dwarven wardens share the nightmares broadcast out by the old gods, right, but also, after the joining oghren has a real, weird, normal dream, right? dwarven wardens dream?
every night you go to bed and a few hours later you wake up as if no time has passed, and that's normal. and if you've never met any surfacers who might talk about their dreams, maybe you never question if your experience is universal. but there are dwarves who lead lives that bring them into experiences not shared by their kin.
a dwarven inquisitor dreams, because the anchor tethers them to the fade, and perhaps as well because the veil is so thin in skyhold. dwarves, too, can be pulled from consciousness directly into a dream realm inhabited by a powerful demon of the fade, and there they can dream.
everytime one finds oneself in the fade, does it wear down that barrier a little bit more?
does cadash still dream, even after the anchor is removed? has varric found himself in the fade so often that sometimes he might dream? does he sometimes sit up late at night with indigestion, rubbing his chest and knowing that he's about to have one of those strange dreams again? did bartrand dream, plagued by the terrible tainted song of the idol? when he slipped into unconsciousness, were the visions there waiting for him, with no reprieve in sight?
countess: sturdy dwarvern baby you have to stop. You smoke too tough. Your swag too different. Your bitch is too bad. they’ll kill you sturdy dwarvern baby:
Character concept: dwarf who has never gone above ground and doesn't believe in rain. It doesn't matter how much the party tries to explain the water cycle he's just like "Everyone knows water can't float so how would it get into the sky?". He'd be like the flat earther of the fantasy world
r/dwarfposting sounds like it’d be a sleeper hit of a subreddit with some pretty hilarious posts but in actuality the idolization of “hard work and fine craftsmanship” (while on reddit no less) seems to attract hoards of people who want nothing more than to pretend to be as rascist as possible without social consequences.
