Solas: Dragon age Inquisition Also known as Fen'Harel, the Dreadwolf. An Ancient Elvhen god.

I had to draw my favorite rift mage all armed up, looking casual yet intimidating and slightly sexy.

Because look at those thighs. I mean, damn.

Made with fineliners, and acrylic ink on paper.

DAI: What is going through the minds of the Inquisition and the advisors, especially the romanced ones, upon realizing that they are going to lose the Inquisitor to the anchor?

Cassandra: Even the greatest fairy tales have an ending, but somehow Cassandra had always hoped that theirs would be happy. Their love was so unexpected, so sudden, and yet she had known from their first kiss that in him she had found a love for the ages.

Her uncle told her she was unlovable, her oath made her unlikable, but beneath it all her herald had seen the woman within the warrior--and still called her his own. He did not forsake her, even when she was unsure of herself with him. If these are to be their last hours together, she will not forsake him.

And she wishes now he had proposed.

Solas: He is not even sure he has the right to grieve, and yet he mourns every minute she is in pain and far from his side. This was always coming, of course-- he knew it from the first moment. And yet that cannot offset the suffering his Vhenan is undergoing.

It is another regret on his shoulders, but he must perservere.

Blackwall: Warden or wanderer, Blackwall or simply her Thom, the news brings him to his knees. How can a woman who has saved so many others be beyond salvation now? For all the power their inquisition has garnered, how can it fall short of saving their leader? How is that any kind of justice? Where is the Maker, when Andraste's herald needs him most?

There are no answers, of course, and in truth he does not wish to waste the time looking for them. As the mark sputters and sparks and threaten to consume her he rarely leaves her side. Through the eluvians or simply through politics he is her strong arm when pain makes her weak, a bulwark against a pain no man can truly fight.

And if he only leaves her side once while she fights for uneasy sleep, to seek out the dark alley shop with its nervous proprietor, no one else need know. The bottle of Quiet Death sits in secret in the bottom of his traveling pack, the most honest choice he has ever made. There is no world, for him, when she is gone. Let them accost the Maker together.

Sera: She knows.

She knows before anyone, knows when her honey tongue's hand starts burning like a green candle and she stops sleeping as well. When you grow up little, grow up afraid, you learn to expect the worst so that the worst doesn't surprise you. And so Skyhold's Red Jenny is braced for the blow for a long time, but it still hurts. Shite, it hurts to know it for real, to see it for real.

She never loved anyone, not like the Inquisitor. No one ever believed in her like the Herald, nowhere felt like home like the Inquisition. She can't do without it, without her, and part of Sera wants to leave before it hurts more. But even thinking about not being there hurts too, hurts like someone is stomping on her heart.

And so she stays. Stays to make her love laugh, stays to make the bad days better. Stays and impulsively drags her honey tongue off to get married, to promise to love each other for ever even if thats not very long anymore. But Sera isn't going to run, and if this is how it ends...she wants the world to know who her herald belonged to, and for her herald to know how much she was loved.

Dorian: It was supposed to be him. Maker's breathe, it was supposed to be him! It was supposed to be him that went first, a martyr to a better Tevinter, a beautiful profile cast forever in marble for his amatus to weep beautifully over and curse Dorian for ever leaving him behind. Even before his father's murder he expected such an eventual fate, and in truth had stayed so long in Skyhold so as to make those memories before Tevinter took her blood price for trying to change her.

But it was not supposed to be the Inquisitor fighting a losing battle with his own sodding arm, not Dorian left to only wring his hands and hold the man he loved close while he suffered. He is the product of a thousand years of careful breeding, graduate of the finest academies in Tevinter, a Maker's damned magister, but it's not enough. The anchor is taking its price, almost right before his eyes, and there is nothing he can do.

He'd always known the inquisitor would break his heart. But...kaffas, it was meant to be him.

The Iron Bull: Katoh.

The Problem with Trespasser

So there has been said a lot about the flaws of tresspasser as a finale to Inquisition, as it can basically be divided into two sections.

There is the lore, the character stuff with your companions, and the actual titular trespasser section of the story, which is generally liked.

Then there is the Exalted Council part of the Story which is generally greatly disliked for the way it portrays Arl Teagen as an ungrateful arse, who even though he's in the right that the Inquisition really does need to disband, is such a bitch about it that a player might feel the desire to keeping it intact just to spite him, despite all the reasons that is a terrible idea(Such an organization being doomed to become the templars 2.0 being the single biggest). Not to mention the way it makes Thedas's nations look like they have the memory capacity of a goldfish, given how instrumental the inquisition was in stopping the last massive threat and might be so again against the plenty of obvious threats on the horizon(and sure enough, the stop the Dragon breath terrorist attacks that would have happened with or without them being there).

However, looking at the big picture, i don't think the actual writing of Arl teagen was the problem here.

No the problem is that Arl Teagen and the rest of the world's reaction to the Inquistion is very, very clearly taken from an older draft of this story, where the Inquisitor was far less... An unambiguous force for good, lets say.

The concept art for inquistion tells a story that is very, very different than what we get in game, with a lot more emphasis is put on the inquisitor very obviously being a dick, that is not well liked by anyone around them.

There is also the way said inquisitor could be far, far more pragmatic and morally grey or dark, like here, where the Inquisitor could force the Venatori to serve after defeating them.

Way more emphasis is built on the idea that the Inquisitor is creating a cult of personality around you, personally.

Essentially a dark mirror to the Hero of Ferelden and Galahad's journeys to defeat their own crisis'.

The option of letting celine die was always gonna be a part of the game, but rather than a pragmatic, move of standing aside and let it happen, your companions would have very negative reactions to this choice, with you having to force Blackwall in particular to stand back as he curses you.

And of course, it would all cuminate in the logical endpoint for the herald of andraste, the living embodiment of the Andrastian reformation as you took your place on the sunburst throne, and usher in whatever changes you want.

This outcome... makes perfect sense. Frankly speaking, this is a much more narratively fitting ending for the inquistior, that has a clear climax from where they start.

Of course we all know this didn't actually end up happening. The Inquisitor ended up being the most passive of all the PC's by a wide margin(you could shape them into having a personality, but not one with a true backbone like Hawke and the Warden), and all these very morally dubious options was taken out of the game in favor of a much more morally simple story.

The most evil thing you can do in DAI is to choose the templars over the mages... and rather than being portrayed as the clear evil choice as it should have been(and still been a legitimate and pragmatic option for you to take) there is instead attempts at making it more nuanced.

Other than that, you don't have the kind of options that the Warden had, and even hawke did(like selling Fenris into slavery), to be a dick.

With all this in mind, it's blatently obvious why Teagen and the world is so damn afraid of the Inquisition.

Because this part of the story was written from before this change in the direction of the game, and was never updated to fit the final product.

If the original vision of the game had to to pass, Teagen's extreme reactions to the Inquistion would have been far, far more understandable, and in it's own way a way of calling the player out on their bullshit.

However, the final product just makes it appear he's way overreacting, rather than maybe questioning that maybe Teagen is right, maybe it is time to end this inquisition for the good of all.

Its one of the biggest problem with what is otherwise a very good epilogue to Dragon Age Inquisition.

"Change is coming to the world. Many fear change, and will fight it with every fibre of their being. But sometimes, change is what they need most. Sometimes, change is what sets them free." - "My people fell for what I did to strike the Evanuris down. But still, some hope remains for restoration. I will save the Elvhen people, even if it means this world must die."

Transcript:

LEFT COLUMN:

Warden: And is that what you want? To be free? Morrigan: What I want is... is unimportant now. Morrigan: I cannot tarry longer, the time has come for me to go. Warden: Will I see you again? Morrigan: Not if you are fortunate... Goodbye, my friend.

RIGHT COLUMN:

Inquisitor: There's still the matter of the Anchor. It's getting worse... Solas: Yes, I'm sorry. And we are almost out of time. Solas: The Mark will eventually kill you. Drawing you here gave me the chance to save you. At least for now... Inquisitor: You don't need to destroy this world! I'll prove it to you! Solas: I would treasure the chance to be wrong again, my friend.

Is the Bioware really trying to fool me into thinking that after Lavellan meets Flemythal they are not running yelling screaming to tell Solas????

Look, I know that late game development is hell with extra deadlines, but you know, I know and Bioware (or at least the writers) knows that Lavellan is running straight to that rotunda to tell their favourite ex-boyfriend that they just met Mythal in the maybe Fade.

There’s something shady going on with the Chantry, guys...

...apart from the endless abuses of the rights of mages/elves/states’ sovereignty, I mean. I am currently working on the textures of the Inquisition Chantry robes for a mod, and I couldn’t help notice this decoration on the cleric robes looks and how suspiciously like “Moonhead” from the DA:D teaser images it looks:

There’s not just the obvious crest, but even stylised tentacles. And after the latest mural it is a given that Moonhead is an Old God... one of those gods that Andraste was allegedly waging her war against?! So why is THAT on the uniform of the faith she started?

And then, when I was looking for a picture of the statue on the right, Google showed me this, and now I’m just screaming:

What the actual fuuck?! This isn’t really a theory tbh, just me going slightly insane at possible implications of this...

WHAT THE ACTUAL HECK?

...

And that’s not even getting into how the sun burst is the Chantry’s own symbol but there’s again an Old God who also has it as theirs?

Or whatever this is supposed to mean, idk:

What does it all mean?????

I wanna hear people’s theories - please! Make it make sense!

I love that after the Shattered Library, there's just a random Inquisition soldier petting Cullen's mabari. For me, my Inquisitor married Cullen, so it's my headcanon that he just pointed at a random soldier and said "You there! I have to go talk to my wife! Come and pet my dog until I return!"

#dragon age #dai gifs #trespasser #cole #solas #my gifs #it's been 84 years since I made a gif set lol #I wonder if that's what happened with the Forgotten Ones 👀 #after eight years I'm also still baffled that no one really talks about Solas wiping someone's memories from god knows how far away.. #..and made them forget about his true identity in a matter of seconds lol #you could argue that he was only able to do that because of who or what Cole is #and obviously they had a strong connection #but it does raise the question.. #what if he's able to do that to anyone? #you know.. *just like Cole* (when not made more human) #Solas your spirit features are showing lol #also how does this ability relate to Solas saying that ''only if the memory of a spirit is strong enough'' it will be reborn after death?

DAI: Hello! I noticed you did the companions version of this one but could you do the advisors take, especially the romanced ones, upon realizing that they are going to lose the Inquisitor to the anchor?

Josephine: Of all that has been kept from her, in these past hours and days, this is perhaps the cruelest. She is under no delusion that her talents span so far and wide that anything under her banner might have saved her beloved— what has been done is done, and the Inquisition’s diplomat is good at playing a field even set badly.

No, Josephine has been robbed of time. She would never have spent so many hours preparing for this grand exercise in futility had she known these last few weeks would be their last. Instead they might have spent those precious moments together, reveling in life the way only Antivans truly can. But now she has not even those memories to console her in the dark days to come, and the Inquisition’s diplomat quits the field entirely with her beloved for…what they have left.

Orlais can hang. She has given enough.

Cullen: Perhaps he is not meant for a gentle epilogue.

A life dedicated to strife, to the art first of confinement and then of war, have primed the commander well for loss. And yet still the knowledge that this is the end of their story staggers him. How can the world continue to turn, the sun rise so blithely in the sky when the burden of the truth of his imminent loss weighs so heavily on every breathe.

He clings to his beloved, yes, and to the time they have, but even as his heart breaks with the beating Cullen is not blind to the world beyond his grief. Even when the Inquisitor is gone, the cause they have built together will remain. If his love must be martyred to this cause then he will be ever their follower, and ruin will fall on all those who connived to destroy what should always have been his.

The lion has awoken, and shall not be so easily tamed.
