All this talk about Dragon Age: Absolution got me thinking about my Dragon Age ocs 😅 I already mentioned them in the past but during these festivities I revisited their designs so.. here they are! Dragon Age: Origins:

Niniel Mahariel: A calm and clever Dalish deeply attached to her clan, it was very difficult for her to leave them behind to join the Grey Wardens. As an experienced hunter, Niniel is skilled with a bow and arrow, as well as a knife. In battle she's fierce but clean in her kills, many of her enemies don't even hear her coming. Has a strong connection with nature and animals. Romanced Alistair, survived at the end of the Battle of Denerim.

Ilen Surana: An overconfident and cocky young mage, he lived all his life locked up in the Circle, famous among his peers for his constant escapes to see the outside world. He uses blood magic to get himself out of trouble and really doesn't care if it's dangerous, for him it's just another tool. Has strong resistence to demons. Romanced Morrigan, survived at the end of the Battle of Denerim. He's Kieran's father.

Evelyn Amell: A somewhat snooty and superficial girl, she loved her life in the tower and was Irving's favorite pupil. She detested the Grey Wardens because they forced her to live a very miserable and hard life, but she quickly adapted to her new duties and became a strong and determined leader. She is specialized in arcane magic. Romanced Alistair while having a short lived fling with Leliana, survived at the end of the Battle of Denerim. She's Samael's cousin.

Dragon Age 2:

Bran Hawke: Previously named Brunilde, they changed their name after Leandra’s death. Impulsive and generally a difficult person to get along with, initially they felt for the mages but after Bethany’s death in the Deep Roads and her mother’s passing, they saw the potential danger they posed, becoming more resentful around them. Then they decided that Meredith was right and adopted her way of thinking, almost coming to adore her in a twisted way. They sided with the templars and was against any unknown or uncontrolled magic. They killed Anders in a burst of rage, something they will regret for many years, even if they didn’t always see eye to eye. After the events of the Gallows they started a new life as a pirate with Isabela, trying to heal from all the hurt they suffered. They survived in DA:I.

Kendra Hawke: A witty but caring rogue, she’s easily described as a goofball with diplomatic leanings, always lifting up the spirits when needed. Would do anything to keep her friends safe and actually really loves Kirkwall, even if it’s kinda of a shithole. Joined the mercenary band to keep her sister’s magic go unnoticed by the Templars, was neutral towards the whole mages vs templars thing, but eventually sided with the mages to protect Bethany (who sadly was discovered by the templars while Kendra was away and became a Circle mage) from Meredith’s wrath. Her heart belongs to Fenris and she survived in DA:I. Samael Hawke: Complete loose cannon, you never quite know if he's going to solve problems with tactful diplomacy or brutal violence. A pretty jaded person due to all the betrayal he's encountered, which has driven him to become even more depressed as the years roll on. Leans way to much on Anders (who eventually becomes his lover) and Varric. Always by mages side, he hates Meredith and the templars with a burning passion. Unfortunately he did not survive in DA:I.

Dragon Age: Inquisition:

Kithari Adaar: A mercenary warrior that loves a good fight. She didn't consider herself chosen by Andraste but regardless of this fact she decided to stay in the Inquisition to give her life a new purpose by doing something for the greater good. She didn't particularly care for mages or templars. She hates orlesian nobles but at the same time she’s fascinated by chevaliers and their training. At first glance she seems unfriendly and unapproachable but deep inside she’s very emotional and has a vulnerable side. Her best pals are Sera and The Iron Bull. Romanced Josephine, who helped her embrace her romantic side. Ena Trevelyan: A very religious and pro-circle Knight-Enchanter. Before the fall of the Circles, she was content to spend her life in the Ostwick tower, passing her time studying magic and history. She thinks that Circles as an idea were fine but currently in desperate need of a reform. She was very frightened of demons because they almost succeed in tempting her during the Harrowing, ultimately conquers this fear during her trip into the Fade. Good-willed and a bit naive, she believes everyone can be reedemed, no matter what they have done in the past. She’s very close to Vivienne, considering her as a mentor-like figure, and Cassandra, sharing with her a passion for smutty literature. She ended up with Cullen, even if it took a while to put their differences aside (y’know, her being a mage and him being an ex-templar). Darel Lavellan: Artificier archer who lost both his wife and child during The Fifth Blight. When circumstances put him in charge of the Inquisition, he was against becoming the Herald of Andraste and just wanted to go home to his people. As time passed he took it as an opportunity to represent the Dalish and generally the elves, as he also opened up more to the outside world. He governed the Inquisition justly and pragmatically, with the goal of restoring order and promoting his people's interests when he could. He can be described as honorable and trustworthy man, particularly intelligent and knowledgeable despite being isolated from civilization for almost all his life. He’s closest to Blackwall (they share the same passion for woodworking) and Dorian (even if sometimes they butt heads over some arguments). He fell in love with Cassandra, stayed beside her even when she became Divine.

📩Clan Sabrae’s food-related traditions from a character of your choice? 👀

Oh I like this a lot, ty! Here’s some insight from Bran Mahariel. 

Oh the food - now that’s what I missed most when I was stuck up in the Circle. My Harrowing, killer blood mages - none of that compared to eating the unspiced gruel they tried to pass off as edible for all those years. Eating was a chore. That’s true evil, isn’t it? Taking the joy out of eating?

Nah, with my clan, food was always a whole wonderful production. Like, uh, for instance, we used to have this big celebration at the start of autumn - starting a new year, thanking the Creators for our harvest, blah, blah - and that’s when we’d make - we called them arlame - but they were these little rolls of meat wrapped in cabbage leaves.

So all day us kids would sit together and ball up minced meat, swaddle it like a baby, and then we’d pile it up into a clay pot to cook. (There’s more to it than that but I can’t exactly go and give away the family recipe, you understand.) And all the while we’d be gossiping, singing to our little meat babies, comparing who could make the neatest wrap; I started a meatball fight once which was great in my humble opinion, but the Keeper didn’t see to agree.

The point being, we’d all get into it and have a good time, and when everything was done and turned out delicious we could enjoy it that much more - knowing we’d helped out. And it was always like that - not just on holidays. No one ever cooked or ate alone.

#Bran Mahariel #I know it doesn't actually make sense to have a Ferelden clan cook Romanian dishes #bc a lot of our food came from the Ottoman Empire #so smth like that in Thedas #would probably be a dish from like the Northern Free Marches #maybe Nevarra #but also #I don't care #thedosian-cabbage

[asexualvega]

Basically I’m imagining Bran stepping through the eluvian like, “Yo, this is a nice ass castle. So where do I put my shit?” ✌😎 and across Skyhold Cullen suddenly feels a chill run through him

Bran definitely offers to buy him a drink at some point and says, “I promise it’ll be better than the garbage I used to brew in the Circle dorms.” and Cullen can only groan and say, “Of course that was you.” in the most defeated tone.

OC Kiss Week 2017

Vesna Surana & Bran Mahariel (@moodybidoof​)

Bran was taken to the Circle before he got his vallaslin so Vesna gave him a stick and poke version when he turned 18.

pippa lore as a treat mayhaps? 👀👀 what's her last straw with aveline?

nelke i am kissing u on the forehead

ok ok ok so. after leandra dies, pippa takes it really hard. it's probably the lowest point of her life, and varric and fenris end up having to help look after because she's so depressed she's not eating or even talking. she's just lying in bed and staring at the wall. varric writes to the warden-commander (abbey @purahs' aelwyn mahariel) to ask for special permission for carver to come back to kirkwall, which is granted, and it's this that helps her start to recover. (the first thing carver does is run a bath and dump her into it unceremoniously and tell her she smells worse than biscuit)

one of the first times she leaves the house is to meet with seneschal bran at the viscount's keep on behalf of her brother. fenris, sebastian and carver all go with her, and on her way out, aveline gets pippa's attention and offers condolences for leandra's death.

and pippa just. loses it. it's probably the first time sebastian (and anyone in the vicinity familiar with her) has ever heard her raise her voice. it starts small and builds until she's literally screaming in front of the entire keep about how it's aveline's fault and that she hates her, she's shaking and sobbing and carver picks her up and carries her outside and she never speaks to aveline again.

[kingvamps]

talking about what happens to all my dao ocs during my canon worldstate but put under a cut bc its Long

Rin Surana is my main warden and is the one completing dao/awakening. For some quick context for the others, she and jowan sacrifice isolde to save Connor and then they help him escape. They are also originally from the denerim alienage, and got taken to the circle when ey had just turned 5. ey make shianni bann of the alienage as her boon, despite not being the city elf origin. Also shianni doesn’t get killed at any point afterwards bc i said so.

During the battle of ostagar Rin has just turned 19 about a month ago.

i have two mahariels bc theyre twins.

the oldest(by 22 minutes) is Ilan, who got separated from his clan by accident and ended up showing his magic before getting taken to the circle at 7~. he becomes super good friends with rin, jowan, and fillan(though he’s not as close with fillan as the others).

shortly before dao starts though hes made tranquil instead of being allowed a chance at the harrowing. after dao starts but before Kinloch gets fucked up he gets transferred to aeonar to work there. he gets involved in the events that lead to it being empty which also have the side effect of curing his tranquility.

he, as well as lily and a defected templar(complicated but of the helps out mages kind), leave and get acclimated to being out of there again. eventually he meets up with rin and jowan again and its all very sweet. he also finally gets to see his sister again!

the second is Elgarlen(also called Ellie if your name happens to be Ilan and youre messing with her). She has Falon’din’s vallaslin which she got shortly before her origin takes place. She also has a small amount of magic that she can use for tiny defensive stuff and to make sure that she never has to light a fire by hand again if she doesn’t want to.

now i have two paths for her bc i haven’t decided which one i wanna go with yet

In the first she is able to survive for a Bit because of natural resistance and bc she got the dalish treatment for the blight early on. she separates from her clan and uses what time she has to make her way to the wardens(originally heading to Ostagar then going to Orlais) she becomes a warden. Eventually after awakening she gets transferred to ferelden. here she ends up meeting with Ilan again!

the second she ends up with the architect. now while the first is more fleshed out and realistic, the second is more interesting so ive flip flopped back and forth a lot.

during the battle of ostagar Ilan and Elgarlen are both 19, about to turn 20.

Fillan Amell is a half-elven mage who got sent to the circle when he was about 6. his father was Daver Surana, who also happens to be Rin’s uncle. neither she nor fillan were aware of this until Fillan found his twin and they talked about their father, and as Daver died around the time Fillan was born, Rin and Fillan found themselves in the same circle.

His and his twins births were a big scandal because their father was an elf and Revka had a husband at the time. considering that his oldest sister got brought to circle around a year after he was born however,(and well. everything around that time with the Amells) it got ignored by most people. Basically, Fillan gets to take great joy in watching people’s faces when he tells them he’s cousins with hero of fereldan AND the champion of Kirkwall.

Ae escaped after the mage prologue and made aer way to highever to try and get a ship out of fereldan. before uldred got back to kinloch a group of templars come after aer with aer reliquary(i renamed the phylacteries shh). Ae ends up getting sorta shoved with aedlin and brannan by chance and after some... tense moments they decide to help each other out.

the three of them kill the templars after fillan and break his reliquary, which they had with them to track him down, then he helps aedlin and bran with their things. all in all they become very good friends and stay that way.

after that ae travels around helping the mage collective, killing templars, and generally causing quite a bit of trouble. Ae keeps an eye out for aer siblings, but doesn’t end up trying to get them out because ae thinks it’ll likely just get aer back in the circle and them in trouble - and that’s if they even want to get out.

once the circles rebel however ae really starts looking for them. one died in the dairsmuid annullment and another was never found, but ae met up with his sister and his twin brother after his sister had joined the inquisition. During the battle of Ostagar he is 21 years old.

Aedlin Tabris killed vaughan and they and Shianni got back to the alienage. when the guards came for them, cyrion and soris help them run and get out of denerim, though aedlin is the one blamed for the incident.

They do get a bounty on them and are wanted in denerim bc they killed the arls son and they make their way as far away from denerim as they can. originally heading for amaranthine, they get barred from their destination by circumstance and head to highever instead to hopefully find a ship out of fereldan.

through circumstance they meet fillan and bran and they all decide to help each other out. they kill the templars and then decide to go to the landsmeet, as bran is a cousland who very much has some things to settle. they handle that and then after the blight bran uses her influence as a cousland to help clear aedlin’s charges, allowing them to return to alienage.

they don’t get a warm welcome unfortunately because they are the one blamed for the incident causing the purge of the alienage. they stay for awhile but eventually their restlessness gets to them and they go to join the fereldan wardens right after awakening finishes. During the Battle of Ostagar they are 20.

Brannan Cousland or Bran are hidden in the secret passage by their parents but she doesnt leave. instead she wreaks havoc upon the invading force, originally going after howe, but when he leaves, mostly just tryi by to kick them out. she was tempted to go after Howe but wanted to get them out of highever first bc she did Not want to leave them there to do what they pleased.

with fillan and aedlin’s help, she kicks them out, gets the city guard on her side, then heads for the landsmeet to tell everyone about howe. When she gets there howe is dead already but by this point, has put two and two together to realize loghain probably at least knew about what happened to her family and helped howe anyway.

the three of them get to the landsmeet, she sides with the wardens, and after the blight goes to highever with fergus to help rebuild. During the battle of Ostagar, she is 22.

Isana Brosca gets exiled to the deeproads after the proving incident and killing her way through the carta that captured her and leske. she ends up meeting Serryn Aeducan and while they... don’t get along at first, they stay with each other since it’s easier to survive that way.

the two of them essentially survive unblighted by ambushing people going in and out of the deep roads for supllies to get ahold of food that’s almost definitely unblighted and through a lot of luck. eventually they decide that this isn’t sustainable forever and start trying to find passage that’ll lead to the surface.

It takes them a while but they succeed. by this point they’re friends so they stick together to travel around and get their bearings. they hear about a dwarven ambassador named ‘Rica’ and go to check that out. Isana thinks it’s unlikely it’s her sister until serryn mentions that he’d met rica! she was involved with his brother! which meant it was a bit more likely that was actually rica brosca.

after this they head to denerim to find her! they do and isana gets back into contact with rica. afterwards isana and serryn start a mercenary band called the ‘Silver Dust’. Eventually Leske ends up on the surface and joins as well.

During the battle of Ostagar she is 22.

Serryn Aeducan reunited with Gorim after he and Isana got to Denerim and he ended up marrying him after a while. During the battle of Ostagar, he is 25.

#edit this is no longer close to my canon lmao sorry.

Title: A Chance Engagement Rating: Teen and Up Audiences Chapters: 37/? Pairings: Eventual Carver/Merrill, background F!Mahariel/Tamlen, other pairings not revealed yet because of spoilers   Other characters: Marian Hawke, Bethany Hawke, Leandra Hawke, Isabela, Tamlen, Fenarel, Female Mahariel, Keeper Marethari, Sabrae Clan, Arishok, Pol   Other tags: Alternative Universe - Regency, Pride & Prejudice References, Bethany and Carver Hawke Live, Pride & Prejudice AU, Fluff and Humour, Ballroom Dancing, Secret Relationships, Comedy of Errors    

Summary:

“It is a truth universally acknowledged, Lady Leandra Amell tried to impress upon her three children, that a single man in possession of a large fortune must be in want of a wife. However she hoped this wisdom would be received by her offspring, Lady Amell was dismayed to find that it had not had the effect she intended.”

Regency AU. When Miss Merrill attends the Kirkwall public assembly ball, the last man she expects to engage in a dance is Carver Hawke – a single man who has just come into possession of a large fortune. This chance meeting, however, sets them both on a path they never expected.

READ FROM THE BEGINNING ON ARCHIVE OF OUR OWN 

--------- 

Everyone who was anyone, Lady Leandra noted with pride, was present at the Hawke Estate ball: the family of Duke Prosper de Montfort, with their ties to Empress Celene of Orlais; the family of Lord Reinhardt, whose second daughter was apparently still interested in Sir Carver; Viscount Dumar and his son Saemus; Seneschal Bran Cavin and his son; Lord Harriman and his family; and the Comte de Launcet and his family, whom every other guest was minded to suffer just as patiently on this occasion as they would the Qunari.

Lord Aristide Amell’s balls had been his pride and joy, back when Lady Leandra was a girl; with Antivan violin players and dancers from Afsaana, no expense was spared – and no one would dare miss it, lest someone think they were not worthy of an invitation. Judging by the company here tonight, Hightown clearly thought the same; and it gave Lady Leandra no small pleasure to know that, after she had spent so many years in social exile, Hightown’s nobility were attending her children’s ball just as keenly as they attended her father’s. Gamlen, as expected, had headed straight for the nearest servant carrying a tray with glasses of iced punch; his sister could only hope he would not make a spectacle of himself that evening.

‘Orlanna,’ Lady Leandra overheard the Honourable Reginald Thaddeus Spincter hissing at his daughter as she passed them, ‘you must stop dreaming about this Feynriel lad. The arrangement of a suitable marriage for you will be made very difficult if any of the gentlemen here have reason to think your maidenhood may have been taken – especially by low-born scum!’

Lady Leandra wisely pretended she did not hear; though she made a mental note to warn her son later, in private, of Miss Orlanna Spincter’s now-doubtful suitability for marriage.

[red-wardens]

23 and 24, for the OC Rivals? Any! ❤️

23. Best at Self Care vs. Most Self Destructive 

Answer Here

24. Most Flirtatious VS Most Modest

(OC Face Claim: Lydia Graham)

Team Flirty

Winner: Claira Hawke (Worldstate 3). For a Blue Hawke, she’s surprisingly my most flirty and promiscuous OC. She’s flirted with every single one of her companions (including Aveline, Varric, and Sebastian) has slept with 3 of them (Fenris, Isabela, Anders). I headcanon that she flirted often with Seneschel Bran and the Arishok too but got nowhere with them. She’s sweet, and bright, and unassuming looking, endearingly charming in a dorky, earnest kind of way. Flirting is just kind of habitual to her and she seldom thinks of the repercussions of it. ¯\ _(ツ)_/¯ Whatever happens, happens. 

Nora Brosca (Multi-Warden AU): Her preferences are strictly women but she’ll flirt with all her friends casually. It’s usually in the form of jokes or puns or lame pick-up lines that she’s giggling the whole way through reciting. Charismatic and confident and social, her flirtations are harmless, all words and no hands. But if a girl expresses interest back… ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Kyung-jae “Kieran” Tabris (Multi-Warden AU): Gets himself in trouble because he’ll flirt with any gender at the most inappropriate times. But he’s all bark and seldom bite, his reputation as a fckboi is marred by his infrequent interest in actual sex. Flirting is good fun, but he is always a little thrown off when someone calls him on his bluffs. Most times, he’ll sleep with them anyways just so he doesn’t lose face. Keeps up the bravado of “oh yeah, this was totally the goal. I’m so smooth.” even when he really hadn’t wanted anyone to take him home for the night.  

vs.

Team Modesty

((omg I finally found an old screenshot of Blue. She’s not that pale it’s just the lighting but wow she’s so tiny next to Anders))

Blue Surana (Worldstate 1): Has never flirted once in her entire life. It’s such a roundabout way to express interest and she’s not about it. Blue will often miss it if others attempt to flirt with her. She takes words very literally and prefers the direct approach when it comes to romance. However, during the Blight she was still too reserved with her feelings to confess them to Sten, simply giving him half an archdemon tooth. Luckily, he understood the meaning and accepted the gift, returning her sentiments. 

Isseya Mahariel (Worldstate 2): Is the traditional, romantic type. She wants to be courted, have men line up to impress her with gifts, and skill, and good manners. Will seldom flirt unless an intimate conversation has already been initiated and she’s just bantering back. Zevran had to work hard to win her hand, especially since she wouldn’t sleep with him until a year or so after Awakening. She’d never been with anyone before and was saving herself for The One™. 

Ronan Aeducan (Multi-Warden AU): Is aro-ace but his general polite behavior and understanding way of talking are often mistaken for flirting or interest. Unlike Cassian Cousland, he is aware of this and though he doesn’t change his way of deeply engaging and interacting with others, and may occasionally respond warmly to their flirtations, he ultimately makes it clear that he’s not looking for anything with anyone.

[moodybidoof]

The benefit of being stuck in the suburbs is I finally got around to answering this questionnaire. It’s really long and unedited and I don’t expect anyone to read it lol, but it was fun to do. 

If nothing else you should look at the question “What stories does the clan have with moral lessons?” bc I literally just copied my favorite childhood fairy tale and it’s raw af. 

Where in Thedas does the clan reside?

Until relatively recently they stayed close to the Frostback Mountains, mostly towards the south near the Arbor Wilds. During a lean winter in 8:82 Blessed, while settled in the Frostback Basin, they were attacked by a group of Avvar warriors who aimed to appease their gods with a live sacrifice. Several of the elves were killed, including the clan’s Second, and the Keeper was seriously wounded, so Marethari took charge and had them flee into the eastern lowlands.

They moved around the Korcari Wild and Brecilian Forest up until the start of the Fifth Blight, when they took a ship to the Free Marches and, as we all know, got stuck outside Kirkwall for years. After Marethari’s death and the chantry explosion, some of the clan members joined up with Merrill and the Kirkwall city elves to get to safety, and they continue to use the name Sabrae for their hodgepodge clan.

They stayed near Kirkwall and were offered a permanent home outside the city by Viscount Tethras in 9:44 Dragon - a gift for aiding in the reconstruction of the city.  

What are the dangers of living where they live?

The Veil is thin around Sundermount, though that’s not so much of a problem as long as the clan is careful. Templars and apostates were obviously an issue soon after the chantry explosion, and not long after that there were red templars to deal with. Forces from Starkhaven also tried their hand at conquering the city, and all this chaos attracted looters, bandits, and the like.

Needless to say, things were a mess for a while.

Nowadays they still have to worry about the creatures that share Sundermount with them, but things have calmed down considerably. The biggest issue is finding game to hunt. The clan had already been in the area for several years and they're competing with the indigenous predators of the Vimmark Mountains. Also, the whole thin Veil issue was only exacerbated by all the death and magic that dominated Kirkwall for the last almost decade.

What are the benefits of living where they live?

In the years after Corypheus’ defeat, Varric’s boone to the elves went a long way to normalize their presence and give them the recognition they deserve, and of course they also have a friend in Guard-Captain Aveline. All things considered, the clan has very much made itself part of the city in a way that few elves of any origin have before

Since Kirkwall has once again become a trading hub, Clan Sabrae has access to goods from all across Thedas. Also, they’re settled right near a trove of ancient elven artifacts.

In what ways has their location shaped their culture and way of life?

Like I said before, they’re a part of the surrounding community to an extent that’s really unique to Dalish elves for sure, and even city elves; probably the only thing that’s comparable is Wycome’s city counsel, after the Inquisition got involved there. Many of the clan members are former city elves, so they still keep up close relations with those that chose to remain in the Alienage, and the clan is more attuned to the problems of their city cousins. It won’t be a surprise if within a generation, the Dalish children of Clan Sabrae grow up hearing a mix of traditional and modern elven stories.

Going back a bit, living in the Frostbacks for so long created a culture very much focused on preparing for the worst. They farmed and hunted when it was warm, then pickled and tanned anything they didn’t immediately need for the winter. If push came to shove, they would trade with trusted Avvar clans. Resources were scarce so they were very practical about how they used everything, and while they encouraged resourcefulness, they avoided anything that seemed like an unnecessary risk. There was a certain way of doing things, so that was the way it was done.

Halla can’t survive in the cold climates of the Frostbacks, so the clan hearded and bred harts instead - greater frostback elks, specifically - to use as draft animals. They didn’t start keeping halla again until they settled further east.  

The wheels on their aravels could be switched out to sled runners.

Living near the Avvar and then in the Brecilian Forest meant that the clan had up close experience with spirits and hedge magic. Prior to the incident with Tamlen and Mahariel most of the clan members had a healthy suspicion of such things (for example, traditionally putting up wards in the doorways of their aravels and around camp to guard against spirits) but it wasn’t something that was taboo either. In fact, it wasn’t uncommon for the mages to create and work with docile sylvans to aid and protect the clan.

They knew many stories about ancient elven magic and old myths about Thedas’ wilder places, but after Marethari became Keeper she began telling those stories with a darker edge to them. After the Avvar attack, a trek through the Fallow Mire, and run in with feral sylvan and other demons, her view of wilder magic was tinged with fear - and then there was the incident with Tamlen and Mahariel. Marethari’s time as Keeper shifted the clan’s culture, but Merrill is trying help them shed their fear of mysterious magic.

Have they always been here, or did they come from elsewhere?

Oops I already wrote their whole story in the first question. So yeah, they’re from the Frostbacks originally, then southern Ferelden, before settling where they are now.

If so, where were they from before, when did they leave, and why?

Long story short, Avvar attacked the clan, the Keeper was injured and the second killed so Marethari had to make split-second decision as the clan’s First and lead them into the lowlands to the east. They traveled towards through the Korcari Wilds, where Marethari tracked down Flemeth and made a deal with her to secure the clan safe passage. They moved around the Wilds and the Brecilian Forest for almost 50 years until fear of the Blight and mounting suspicion from local Templars forced them north.

Are they nomadic? Semi-nomadic? Or do they have a permanent settlement? How has this affected them?

They used to be semi-nomadic, staying in roughly the same area but moving around enough to make sure they wouldn’t overuse the resources in one place or outstay their welcome with any nearby human settlements. Especially when they were in southern Ferelden, they were dogged by rumors of walking trees and “demon elves” (which weren’t entirely untrue), which attracted attention from the Chantry, so they had to make sure the Templars never caught up with them. This was just all the more reason for them to be as practical and cautious as possible, especially around the Chantry.

Their hunters had seen anything and everything you could think of; lurkers, giant spiders, demon trees, templars, the walking dead - you name it and they’ve probably had to fight it while they traveled through some of the weirder parts of Thedas. As a result, most of the clan members are trained to fight in some capacity, just in case.

They’re still getting used to having a permanent home now. Even the original Sabrae clan members among them have been around Kirkwall for ages at this point, but being in limbo is very different from settling in for the long haul. Though they are an independent settlement, they’re fairly involved in what’s going on in Kirkwall proper and obviously have strong connections with its people.

If they are nomadic/semi-nomadic, what are their migration habits like?

While they lived in the Frostbacks the clan moved as the weather changed, going further north in the winter and back south in the summer. They followed wild harts to ensure they always had game to hunt and pastures for their own animals. While they were settled in for a season they would set up tents covered in furs and skins to provide space to rest outside their aravels.

They ended up moving more often when they starting living further east because the land was far more unpredictable and they had to make sure they didn’t attract attention from any nearby human settlements. As a result they mostly lived out of their aravels and clearly had two types - ones to transport stuff, and ones that were homes.

In what ways does the clan sustain themselves? What do they have for resources, and how do they acquire/use/maintain them?

The nearby caves are full of nugs, mushrooms, and various ore, and even the giant spiders and deepstalkers can be used for the webs, venom, and scales.

The mountains themselves are home to august rams, hares, coyotes, and black bears, which provide the clan with meat, furs, leather, and (in the case of the rams) horns which can be carved into most anything. There’s also plenty of herbs and flowers native to the area, including a clearing of ironbark trees not far from the camp, which is of course an incredible resource.

In a pinch the clan could also always send a hunting party to the Planasene Forest or simply peruse the Kirkwall market stalls.

The problem is that almost everything in and under the mountains is dangerous, so scouts and hunters try to prepare themselves for anything from wild animals to darkspawn. Though, ideally, they won’t have to fight at all - instead preferring to use traps, poison, and stealth to their advantage. Clan Sabrae also has an abundance of mages from the fallen Circle, and having a magic on your side always makes things a little easier.

Imagine a spirit looking down at their site. What would they see?

Banners hung from stones at the city-side entrance to the camp, both a welcome and a warning to those arriving for Kirkwall. It’s a familiar shade of red, emblazoned with the white face of a halla.

Large aravels wrapped around the edges of an alcove in the mountain, forming makeshift walls. Some are flat-topped and covered in warm furs and skins; others look more like the landships humans expect to see, their red-orange sails wrapped tight for now. The camp itself has grown since the elves first arrived in Kirkwall, expanding further into the VImmark Mountains to accommodate the elves who’ve arrived from cities, Circles, and other Dalish clans. You can see from their mismatched clothing and the number of bare faces among the crowd that these elves all come from very different backgrounds, but the atmosphere of the camp is undeniably warm.

A shop is set up, where an old elf is chastising his young apprentices for the way they’re handling their ironbark tools. A red-headed elf sits among the halla, who’ve been penned just outside the camp; she looks at them like they’re her own children. A hunting party armed with wooden bows and ironbark blades returns from their adventures further into the mountains; they leave their catch - a deer - with another elf, before settling down by the campfire to listen to the stories a harhen is telling. The world was turned upside down, and these hunters know they must protect their clan from much worse than wild animals, but for a moment, in this place, they are safe.

What is their typical style of dress?

Furs and leather to keep them warm and protected, but otherwise it’s a hodgepodge. There are elves from all over that have joined the clan, and while a Circle mage might not want to keep wearing her robes, it’s easy enough to use to reuse the fabric and turn it into something new. They wear more shem-style clothing than you’d expected from a Dalish clan, but it’s all layered underneath typical elven armor, embroidered with elven style patterns, and tailored to better suit their tastes. Also, they wear closed toed shoes! They live on a mountain, they can’t just walk around barefoot.  

What are their interactions/relations with outsiders/other Dalish like?

Like everything with this clan, it’s a mixed bag. They’ve welcomed elves from all over and even helped human mages, plus Keeper Merrill is obviously pretty on top of what’s happening with people in Kirkwall, so the clan itself is pretty open to outsiders but that doesn’t mean everyone is comfortable trusting shem yet, or that the shemlen are thrilled to have a Dalish clan right outside the city. If nothing else, the arrangement’s been good for trade.

As for other Dalish, there’s some tension there. Word has spread about Marethari’s death and Merrill’s eluvian, and while some people are thrilled to Clan Sabrae to share what they’ve learned at the next Arlathven, others seem to think that there might be some truth to the rumors of demons in their midst. There are also clans that disapprove of how many city elves they’ve taken in, but that’s something the clans have always disagreed about.

If strangers were to approach them, how do they react?

With a welcoming smile and dozens of elven arrows trained on the stranger from afar. Like their Keeper, the clan is warm and friendly, but they’re not naive. In addition to the usual dangers that the Dalish face, they’ve also had to deal with people looking for apostates among their ranks or elven servants who’ve been “stolen” from their homes, and obviously Clan Sabrae isn’t going to give up anyone who comes to them for protection.

What are their interactions/relations with each other like?

Like any family, there’s ups and downs. 8P

It was rough at first. After Marethari’s death the clan was leaderless, and those that chose to stay near Kirkwall did so mainly just because they had no idea where else to go. Even more fled after the Chantry explosion, and not all who stayed to help the city were willing to work with Merrill until it became clear that no one else could be the leader she’d become. It was hard to hold on to their fear of her when they saw her risk her life to protect them and the city elves; saw in her the familiar young woman many of them had grown up with, more willful and loving than ever - not some abomination.

There’s still some tension around the mages, and of course arguments arise around day-to-day cultural differences but at the end of the day they’ve all got each other’s backs.

If a clan member wanted to leave the clan, how do they react?

There’d be a kerfuffle as they said their goodbyes and the clan would send them off with some supplies for the journey ahead, but no one’s gonna stop them. At this point they have a lot of elves coming and going, but even clan members who’ve been around forever are always free to leave if they wish.

What roles does the clan have, and what do they consist of?

Ofc there’s the Keeper, with her First and Second.

Master Illen is the master craftsman, and he trains many apprentices in creating armor, weapons, aravels, furniture, and even overpriced trinkets to sell to shemlen. After living so close to Kirkwall for so long they’ve started sending dedicated merchants into the city, many of whom are former city elves. With more mages in the clan they’ve also started enchanting amulets and such, though they mostly keep those for their hunters.

Maren is the head groom and Halla Keeper, and there are others who tend to the horses and mules they now keep as well.

A Hearthkeeper tends to things at home along with many of the other haren, keeping watch over the young children while their parents go about their daily duties.

There’s a healer whose versed in both healing magic and herbal remedies.

In recent years two Master Huntsmen have taken up training everyone in the clan to defend themselves, in addition to running more intensive drills with the hunters and scouts. There are always guards posted around the camp at all times - day and night - and those who venture from the camp always travel in tight-knit groups. The clan’s Second has also become involved in training the hunters who are mages, taking special care to make sure they can defend themselves against templars (both human and red).

How many people are part of the clan on average?

About 40 and growing. They’ve been stationary for a long time, which made it easy for other elves to find a join them. While many members fled after the Chantry explosion, new elves joined them seeking protection, especially mages who were fleeing the Gallows. Now that their home has been officially recognized by the Viscount they’ve attracted that much more attention.

What is the history behind the formation and building of the clan?

Sabrae was an elven lord during the time of the Dales, and a friend of the Emerald Knights Mahariel and Talas. During the Second Exalted March, Sabrae and Talas fled into the Arbor Wilds, leaving Mahariel and the other Emerald Knights behind to fight in Chantry invasion. As the Andrastian forces moved even further south, the newly formed clan continued into the Frostback Mountains.

The clan is obviously named after Sabrae, and Talas’ ancestors remained with the clan right up until recently; the line ended with Marethari. (Mahariel went on to found a different clan, where Mahariel’s name and mother are from. The ancient history between the clan founders is part of the reason why Mom’s elders didn’t want her to be with the Keeper of Clan Sabrae.)

What stories does the clan have with moral lessons?

The Halla and Her Three Kids, a fairy tale in which a halla mother goes out to forage, and warns her children not to leave the aravel while she’s away. She sings them a song and tells them to only open the door when they hear it. A servant of the Dread Wolf hears this and uses his wicked magic to change his voice and trick the kids into letting him in - only the youngest child is clever enough to be suspicious, and he hides while his two brothers are gobbled up.

When the mother halla returns she’s of course devastated, but her grief and rage are a powerful motivator. She calls upon Mythal as both a mother and as one seeking justice, Falon'Din to guide her lost children, and thanks Sylaise for keeping at least one child safe - and then she and her youngest begin to work on a trap.

The mother cooks a rich meal, and sets a special seat over a hidden pit, which is filled with embers and slow-burning firewood. She then invites the wolf to come to her home and mourn with her, as if she doesn’t know he is to blame. As he eats the chair grows heavier and heavier, until it collapses and he falls into the fire below. As he burns and pleads for his life, the mother tells him that she does as the gods have taught her: “a death for a death and a burn for a burn”. She and the child then finish off their enemy with a stoning, and all the halla in the clan celebrate with a real feast.

(This is an actual story I grew up with.)

What legends does the clan have about their people/history?

Clan Sabrae tells the story of a skilled hunter named Harralan, whose clan once lived in the Brecilian Forest. Harralan was arrogant and full of anger; he resented the life his people lived and dreamed of returning to the days when his people ruled cities and nations of their own. Though his wish was understandable, he thought of little else and allowed his heart to be clouded by his bitterness; so full of hate was he, that he attracted the attention of a rage demon.

The demon transformed him into Mythallen - a child of vengeance. Though he espoused concern for the future of the People, and for the injustices they have suffered, in truth he understood nothing of sympathy, compassion, forgiveness, or true leadership. Instead, he enslaved, yoking others to his revenge, transforming them into little more than weapons, extensions of his will.

The clan was able to destroy Mythallen, but too few of them remained to continue on as one. The remaining elves joined other clans, while their dead were remembered in legend.

How do clan members spend their leisure time? What do they do for fun?

They’ve picked up some games from humans - Wicked Grace being a particularly popular one. They also have their own gambling game that involves a four sided top, and some clan members have started combining both games.  

The harens don’t like it, but rock climbing is becoming the entertainment of choice for the younger members of the clan.

Also, reading! Many of the mages brought books with them from the Circle, plus Clan Sabrae now has unprecedented access to books that human and dwarven traders brought with them to Kirkwall.

What kind of laws/rules does the clan have?

Aside from the obvious, “be a respectable member of society” stuff, hunters and craftsmen are taught to respect the balance of the land and to use every part of the animals they hunt.

Everyone has a job to do, and every job is important. Whether you watch the children, whittle trinkets, or are the Keeper, every role is equally important to the survival of the clan.

Members of the clan are obligated to give mythvhen - a word that literally translates to righteousness, or righteous heart. This means to help others simply for the sake of helping, without receiving or expecting any recognition in return.

There are all sorts of rules associated with specific holidays and religious practices.

If a clan member breaks these rules, what punishments are there?

Depends on the severity obviously. A scolding from the Keeper (and probably every hahren, just for good measure), extra community work, exile at the worst. Unless something really terrible happens, the focus is less on punishment and more on understanding why the rule was broken, and explaining to the clan member why it’s important.

What is the clan’s culture surrounding birth?

During the first three months of pregnancy, couples and the healer won’t tell anyone else about the birth, to protect the baby from the evil eye. Even after the pregnancy is revealed, parents won’t even discuss naming the baby and nothing is prepared aside from what the child will need right after it’s born (so no toys and things like that).

Wards on the family’s aravel should be inspected, to make sure that spirits are being kept out.

A mother usually prays more often to Mythal, and a father to Elgar’nan. They pray to Sylaise to make their home safe and welcoming, and Andruil to keep the Dread Wolf at bay.

The birth itself is a joyous occasion, and the whole clan gets involved. A week after the child is born, the clan celebrates with a feast and welcomes them into the family. This is when the child is named, and the Keeper will say the first prayer for them using their new name, asking each god to watch over them.

What is the clan’s culture surrounding death?

When a clan members dies, the burial process begins immediately.

The dead is covered until they are with the Keeper, at which point they are uncovered and washed with water from a mountain stream. They are then dressed in simple burial clothing - white cloth, nothing more - and a sash is wrapped around their waist and tied in a way that represents the god of their vallaslin. (If they were too young to have been tattooed yet, the sash represents Falon'Din.)

From death until burial the dead is never alone, and those with them regularly recite prayers to Falon’Din, asking for safe passage into the beyond.

No more than a day after the death, the body is brought to the graveyard at the top of Sundermount and laid to rest alongside their ancestors. A tree is planted to mark their grave, and the Keeper asks Mythal to watch over her people even in death - the prayer directed towards the statue of Mythal that stands in the graveyard.

The deceased’s family mourn for a week, rarely leaving their aravel and putting vanity aside to allow themselves all possible space to grieve and process. Clan members will take care to bring them food and drink, keep them company, and take over their daily duties. After the week is up they return to work, but of course the clan is mindful of the pain they are still feeling.

What are the most monumental parts of life for clan members?

Receiving their vallaslin is an obvious one, as it means they are now an adult in the clan’s eyes. Young elves spend the day in contemplation, meditating on which vallaslin is most suited to them. Once they’re ready, they will wash and purify themselves, then don a traditional shawl that has likely been passed through their family. At sundown the Keeper will begin applying the vallaslin, during which time the young elf must make sure not to make a sound.

In what ways does the clan honor and revere the Elven Pantheon?

In every way? Lol

By which I mean, there are prayers for literally everything. Before a hunt, after a hunt, when skinning an animal, when purifying a home, when setting magical wards, when eating a meal, when making an herbal remedy. A prayer for an elven birth, a different prayer for a halla birth. A prayer to keep a secret, and a prayer to reveal hidden knowledge. And so on.

Some are longer than others, some are more formal, some are made up on the spot, but the gods are woven into everything. The clan doesn’t pray with the intention of being heard, but they want to acknowledge their heritage and give thanks that they can carry on these traditions.

What practices does the clan have in regards to vallaslin? How is an elf determined to be ready? How is the design chosen?

Oops I already talked about this a little bit. To add on from question 27, elves receive their valasllin soon after their 17th birthday. The Keeper and the hahrens discuss among themselves whether or not a child is ready, based on how mature they are; in other words, how ready they seem to take on the burden of being an adult in the clan.

What is the clan’s vallaslin like?

Just the normal vallaslin from DA:O.

I am actually doing work, but I got a little distracted making up fancy advisor armor for Bran. None of this actually makes sense and I’ll figure out how it actually works eventually, but this is the basic aesthetic at least. Heavy armor from on his legs and sword armor, light armor on his arm to make it easier to cast without a staff, lots of pockets for potions and just because he’s a magpie who picks up anything he sees. And the bear pelt on top because it’s cool, bears are his favorite animals to shift into, and maybe a little to compete with Cullen’s lion aesthetic lol.

His hair got long while he was out dungeon crawling and he’s too lazy to cut it.

#bran mahariel #doodles #i almost forgot his vallaslin which is why it doesn't actually fit on his face #but whatever #also his hand is like upside down but again: whatever
