Why on earth, did I decide that opening my last Inquisition save (The end of Trespasser, so end game end game)to talk to Solas at 5 a.m this morning when I couldn't sleep was a good idea? I have been thinking about it all day. It's like I was making an unconscious decision to make myself sad.I don't know how Solasmancers do it. I was wrecked just being friends with him.

Cassandra: I admire you greatly. You have done so much and overcome many obstacles. When I met you, you were but a prisoner, reviled and scorned.

Inquisitor: Cassandra, I was *your* prisoner.

Cassandra: Look how far you have come. It is truly extraordinary.

cipher talk: vallaslin

In Dragon Age Origins, Vallaslin is introduced as the facial tattoos of Dalish elves and translated as "Blood writing". The question I have is which part of this word means "blood" and which part means "writing"? vallas or lin?

Theory 1:

Before they settled on what was in the cipher, they used both parts of this word in both ways which muddled things. So you get lin → len in a kind of "blood/kinship" way and vallas in a kind of "blood/life" way.

Theory 2:

Vallaslin means "my blood", vallas means "blood" and lin means "my (possessive)".

We know that these were slave markings. There might have been blood magic. I think there's some cases of how the Evanuris saw slaves/people with their vallaslin as extensions of themselves. Here's some other words that led to this theory:

1] Elgara vallas refers to a setting sun, which turns bright red on the horizon. So maybe this phrase literally means "sun bleeds".

2] Vallasdahlen is literally translated as "life trees".

dahlen: "tree", but probably "woods/forest". (see: Vir Adahlen). vallas: logically, this probably means "life", which has a loose connection to "blood".

3] da'durgen'lin means "my little stones".

da: "little", often as a prefix (e.g. da'len: little child). durgen: "stone" lin: as the untranslated part of this phrase, "my".

Some additional parts to this is that da'durgen'len is translated as "little dwarves", (durgen'len is literally "children of the stone"). It's posited in that codex that lin became len which could also be possessive in the sense of "children belong to their parents".

The issue with the second theory is really that I just have more clear examples of vallas meaning "blood" than lin meaning anything. Here's a bunch of words that have lin as a syllable and I don't know if they're related:

Arulin'Holm - An ancient elvhen tool used for woodcutting that is an old as Arlathan. Used by Merrill to repair the eluvian.

amelin - From something Solas says to Abelas, "Malas amelin ne halam, Abelas."

lethallin - "friend", but also "lin" in this word is the one gendered ending in the entire language. Maybe a kind of "my love (platonic)" sort of way.

Halin'sulahn - The golden halla. "Sulhan" means joy, I have no idea about "halin".

sahlin - "come", but in the sense that death is here.

There's a couple other words that might also be related to vallas, which are Dhal Vallasan (a unique bow wielded by the Emerald Knights) and vallem (from a line of dialogue said by a spirit in Trespasser) but these also don't have enough context for me to guess.

Last instance of this word is bana'vallaslin from Where Willows Wail. The bit that probably corresponds to that is "failing of our markings", so this is probably the cultural idea of vallaslin. In this text, vallaslin might not refer to the markings but instead the people who wore those markings.

I know I never really talked about it over here but I’ve been playing a lot of Dragon Age: Inquisition lately, and since I don’t have a lot of content to offer, might as well show off my Inquisitor! Her name is Daisy original ik ik and she’s a dalish elf artificer ranger! Her love interest is Bull and I’ll throw a few headcanons under the cut because I don’t want to throw spoilers at yall’s faces :3c I also have two other inquisitors, but Daisy is my main one; -Adanni, who’s another dalish elf, but she’s a knight-enchanter! She’s dating Cullen :3c -And Madelaine, who’s a human tempest dagger build, she’s my current playthrough and she’s romancing Blackwall :3c

/DRAGON AGE: INQUISITION SPOILERS UNDER THE CUT!\

A few Daisy headcanons; -She decided to disband the Inquisition because she couldn’t care less about human politics and prefered doing things her way instead of siding with either side. -She never married Bull and instead started to work with/for him as another Charger. -She WILL however have kids with him, and I’m thinking probably twins. -Since she’s an artificer, she knows a bunch of talented blacksmiths that works with magic and got herself a personalized prostetic that fits her aesthetic. -She loves steampunk stuff and her outfit is based around that. -She DOES have a Vallaslin, but it’s so faint it’s almost invisible to the naked eye. -The reason for that is because it kinda dissipated after she first got it, so her Keeper tattoed her a second time but it did the same thing. -The Keeper believed it was a sign the Gods judged her immature and would never be able to provide her part to the clan. -And because of that, she was sent to “spy on human affairs’ (the reason why the main character is present at the Conclave) but it was actually a suicide mission that the Keeper hoped she wouldn’t survive. -Oopsie Daisy, turns out she DID survive the encounter. -Her tattoo is the simplest version of the Mythal tattoo. -She drank from the Well of Sorrows cuz she would be damned before letting a human she doesn’t trust drink from it. -Her vision is a teeny tiny bit worse on her right side than her left side.

When you romance Anders and he says, “I wish we could stay like this forever, love”

When you romance Fenris and he says, “I am yours”

When you romance Varric and he says, “You people have done enough to her”

some sketches i made while working on a matter of love

soul names (love and death names, in the case of this fic) are honestly a narrative goldmine, like is it fate? is it yourself? are you being controlled, and if so, are you gonna let it? stack a pile of cultural pressures about soulnames on top and off you go :D

#i don't wanna post like. massive spoilers but also. wanna draw So Many things from this fic still it's my baby #can't believe saar gets to lose her shit in an au before i get to it in her main timeline lmao #solas #soladaar #adaar #saar gets her own tag #inquisitor #iron bull #varric tethras #art tag #fanart #dragon age #dragon age inquisition #da:i #inquisitor x solas #soul names verse

If they were more than simple dreams she could not say, for every time she reached for him, he vanished into nothing.

Still she searched, and dreamed, and waited, for a way to change the Dread Wolf's heart.

I was exploring the Dragon Age: Inquisition game files (yes, hi, I do that monthly) and I came across some facts and lore in the form of short character descriptions that I haven't seen posted online before.

The first one being Blackwall's official intended age, which is 45.

The rest contains spoilers so I will hide under the read more.

Remember that charred note you pick up from the bandits you help Blackwall dispatch when you first meet him? The one trying to persuade him to join them. This is the description of the bandit.

Bandit 1 28 Male A soldier from Blackwall's past who has had to turn to crime.

That really adds some context to what he says afterwards, and why he was so angry with them.

And if you're curious, the ages of supporting cast for his plot:

Mornay: 40 Giles: 55 The bailiff: 30 The Inquisition agent with the missing report: 20 Rumour mongers: The two discussing him in Skyhold tavern are both 30. The noble military woman in Val Royeaux implied to be one in note found in Exalted Plains: 30 The non-military noble in Val Royeaux arguing with her: 30

I personally have been trying to figure out Thom's age for about a year now with no luck searching online besides theories so I really hope this helps people.

It is 'AgeRange' but with how specific some of these ages are (28 for example) I think its fairly safe to say they are the intended ages.

Solas' Confession

I am a Cullen Romancer but love Solas' romance as well since it is full of angst and I am a sucker for it. But I like it as a more 'read about it' rather than 'play his romance' because I can never not romance Cullen lol.

But a few days ago I came across to this edited voice video of him where he confesses him being the Dreadwolf to the Inquisitor and it was amazing, if you are a Solasmancer then you'll probably love this video and maybe even get your close on the egg!
