The Crown Jewel Edition: Queen Consort Clarisse
Before she was taken from the world in a horrific plane accident Queen Clarisse wore some of the most show stopping pieces within the Royal Collection.
The Pearl Wedding Tiara (Above)
This is the tiara that was traditionally worn by brides coming into the Royal Family before Queen Consort Ana introduced the Harold Tiara. The piece boasts hundreds of pearls which used to be embedded within Queen Morrigan's medieval crown.
The Fontaine Foliage Tiara
A tiara gifted to Queen Clarisse upon her marriage to then-Crown Prince Richter from her family, the Fontaines. Outfitted with priceless Celestri diamonds, it is one of the most expensive pieces within the Quinn Family's collection.
The tiara has not been worn in public since Her Majesty's death, though it remains one of the pieces available for use by the current Queen Regina.
The Cursed Dumas Aquamarines
These earrings are one of Her majesty's favorite pairs. She bought them on auction for approximately 500,000 simoleons from luxury auction house Kristi's.
The aquamarines and diamonds were originally owned by a Bordeauxian noblewoman from the 1780s and are thought to be cursed. The last owners before Queen Clarisse had acquired them died in a tragic fire which caused them to go up for auction in the first place. Three more of the previous owners have all passed from tragic accidents or under mysterious circumstances.
Many believe the original owner of the jewels, Lady Celine Dumas, placed a curse upon whoever would come into ownership of them as her jealous daughter-in-law murdered her in order to inherit her vast riches through her only son. Everyone who came into ownership of the jewels since has met an early demise.
Unfortunately, Queen Clarisse had also fallen to the curse only a year after purchasing the earrings. The last time Her Majesty was seen wearing them in public was at the wedding of her son, then-Crown Prince Vincent, a month and a half before the plane crash that took her and her husband's lives.
The Simtier Diamond Choker
This beautiful piece was a wedding anniversary gift from her husband, King Richter. She often wore the choker during her many trips to the opera, ballet, and broadway shows.
Queen Katrina's Diamond and Ruby Ribbon Set
This is a historical set traditionally worn by Queens of Lunaria since the 1860s. It was gifted to Queen Katrina during her tenth year of reigning alongside her husband, the Mad King, Edward IV.
Edward chose rubies to be the stand-out jewels in the necklace and earring set due to his disturbing fascination with the color of blood. Katrina wore them often in order to avoid her husbands frequent and irrational tantrums. Thankfully, these jewels don't seem to carry any curses.
Queen Clarisse's Loop Tiara
A lightweight tiara designed by Her Majesty for functions of State, the jewels in the center of the diamond loops can be switched between sapphires or pearls. Clarisse entrusted the creation of her design to famed Celestri jeweler, Notte.

Ever wanted to know who the ruler of a certain Orlesian city is? Need connections for your Orlesian OC, but weren’t sure where to start? Look no further! Here I have attempted to compile a list of the named & notable Orlesians found in the Dragon Age games, primarily those that are alive during the events of the games & tie-in novels ( although a few historical figures are also included for reference. ) Note that it only includes individuals; families that are referred to by the family name, but with no individuals singled out, are not included, nor are unnamed NPCs. Characters that live in Orlais but would likely identify with heritage from elsewhere are not included ( i.e. Josephine would be considered Antivan rather than Orlesian. ) Lastly, some characters may fit under more than one subheading, but are only listed once ( i.e. Gaspard is both royalty and a chevalier, but is only under the former heading. )
Shoutout to Erran for the Fereldan and DAO NPC List, which served as inspiration to compile a similar reference for Orlais. Given the scarcity of Orlesian blogs in the rp fandom, this won’t serve as a masterlist of rpers, but I can make a second list if that interests anyone!
List will be periodically updated, as it’s by no means complete yet! If you notice a particular character is missing, feel free to reblog and mention the name(s) in a comment / the tags on a reblog, or send it in a message. Reference a source if possible ( game, war table mission, book, etc. ) And with that ...
