As an eligible young noble of no small fame, Ambroys had a number of arranged courtships and suitresses in his youth, but any nascent marriages always fell through.
It's not that he didn't try; he certainly knew how to court a lady (perhaps too well, according to many fathers and husbands), and when he lacked knowledge on the affairs of womens' hearts, he sought counsel from a young woman who was a dear friend of his (perhaps too much counsel, according to his own father). Nonetheless, all he garnered for his efforts was separation after separation.
Ah, well. Maybe it was for the best.

Lord Sennen had been dressed in silks and spoke in a bewitching baritone that echoed. His hair took the shape of a crown, gold and midnight-tinted crimson. Yugi saw through his calm demeanour though, could sense the danger beneath the surface like the sea.

Sketch: @chocodile Lines/Color/Editing: @lsdoiphin
A little prequel of sorts to @chocodile and @kwillow's ongoing animal drama, Amaranthine.
The Rising Dawn's funding has to come from somewhere, and for quite some time that "somewhere" was the pocket of Renée Hélène Fontaine, heiress to one of the few capitalist corporations in Ironfrost that the Queen has allowed to survive.

"The Great Tobirama Senju, as astute as ever." Madara said, sounding bitter, and so very, very tired. "Well, what about you? You loathed me as well, I recall. What changed there?" A hollow laugh. "Or are you simply lulling me into a false sense of security, waiting for the chance to strike me down when my back's turned?"
Tobirama shook his head in denial, feeling a spike of panic at the Uchiha’s paranoid words. It was dizzying, but he sat steady and said forcefully, "No - no, I don't hate you. I never did, really. I was… suspicious of you -" jealous for taking his brother away from him- " but I never actually hated you."

Amaranthine - Prologue
Next
            “Marinette! Bedtime!” Sabine called. She stepped up into Marinette’s room and stopped at the door. She smiled seeing Marinette playing amongst her dolls. She quietly stepped forward as she listened to Marinette play.
            “‘You’ll never take the princess from me, brave knight. I have her under a terrible curse and her kingdom is mine. Bwa ha ha ha!’ ‘Foul witch, I will not rest until I found my true love again. For there is none other in this world I shall love than her. And our love will conquer your evil!’”
            Sabine knelt as Marinette had the knight and witch fight with the knight coming out victorious.
            “‘Take that, evil witch! You have been slain and I shall be reunited with my one true love!’”
            Sabrine grinned and scooped up Marinette. Marinette gasped and screamed as she flailed wildly.
            “Unhand me, foul beast. What knave attacks when their back is turned?”
            “It is I, the witch’s dragon. And I’m here to avenge my fallen lady,” Sabrine said in a low voice.
            “Then you shall fall too, beast, and I shall finally be with my one true love!”
            Sabine let Marinette down and chased her around the bedroom. Sabine grabbed Marinette and tickled her, bringing her down immediately. Sabine continued to tickle Marinette before she scooped her up and held her close.
            “And the mighty knight has fallen. You shall never see your love again. All hail the Dark Queen!”
            “No! My love, remember me!”
            Sabine and Marinette laughed. Sabine placed Marinette down, who ran back to her dolls.
            “Alright, brave warrior, bedtime,” Sabine said.
            Marinette whined. “Do I have to? I haven’t saved the princess.”
            “The princess will have to wait another night for her knight to rescue her.”
            “But we can’t keep them away from each other. They are meant to be! Plus, Rose said you don’t keep soulmates away from each other.”
            “Did she now?”
            “Yup! She showed me more of her books during our last playdate. All the stories always ended happily with true love conquering all.”
            “Oh yeah?”
            “Yup! She even told me why. Do you know why, Momma?”
            “No. Why?”
            “Because they are always soulmates. They know from the very moment they lock eyes that they are meant to be, so their love can conquer anything. So, love always wins.”
            “Really? Well, that’s not what I’ve heard about soulmates.”
            Marinette’s eyes widened. “What have you heard, Momma?”
            “I’ll tell you, but only once you get ready for bed.”
            “Do I have to?”
            “If we want to hear a story, yes.”
            Marinette gasped and hurried to get ready for bed. She crawled into bed under the covers and waited. Sabine smiled and sat on the bed.
            “Ready?”
            Marinette nodded.
            “When I had moved to the country, I heard a story from some modern day witches. They spoke of when our souls move on, they don’t die like our bodies. They return to the ether where they wait to be born again. Once their time has come to rejoin the world of the living, they must drink from the waters of oblivion and forget all about their past lives except one thing. Do you know what that one thing is?”
            “Their soulmate?”
            Sabine nodded. “They forget who they were and what life they lead, but they retain a memory of their soulmate. The one who had been by their side through all their lives that long agreed to stay together forever, until eternity.”
            “All their lives?”
            “That’s right. The witches told me that from the moment our soul lived its first life, it had met all manner of people, but there would be those that we’d have given our souls for. That we, in that life, would have pledged to always be with them until the end of time. It is that promise that binds souls and makes them soulmates.”
            “Woah! How do you know if you have a soulmate?”
            “They say that when you are young, you will dream of your past lives. In these visions, you are allowed a glimpse of your soulmate.”
            “But how do you know that you’ll meet them? What if you never do?”
            “They told me that you’d know in a heartbeat, like the roll of thunder and a flash of lightning. That in that moment, you know you would give your very life for that person, or even persons.”
            “You can have more than one lover?”
            Sabine chuckled. “Well, yes, but a soulmate is so much more than a romantic partner, Mar-Mar. Your soulmate is your greatest friend and ally. You may find love with them, but not always. What will never change is the loyalty you share for the other. And when they leave, everything in life feels hollow and empty without them.”
            “Woah. Do you like I have a soulmate?”
            “You just might. However, you won’t know unless you go to sleep. Maybe you’ll have the dream tonight of them.”
            Marinette gasped. She bounced and settled into bed.
            Sabine sighed, tucked in Marinette, turned out the light, and left.
            Marinette tossed and turned for a while before she fell asleep. She waited for a dream to come. Days passed by that turned into weeks, then months. A year had passed before she had an unusual dream.
            Marinette remembered the end of the dream. She was led through streets in chains. She looked between the men that held her multiple chains. Her eyes lingered on the one in the lead. His face was empty, but she could feel regret and sorrow from him. More faceless people appeared as she was chained to a wooden stake, but her eyes never left the man. She watched him ready to set the pyre when she was asked to give her last words. She felt a smile as she looked at him.
            “See you soon.”
            Fire erupted from around Marinette that startled everyone. She looked up as the blaze took her and everything went black.

Old Wounds
So excited to finally post this comic collab between @chocodile and I! She did the initial thumbnails and colors and provided the evil wizard rabbit, and I did the script, sketch and lines and provided the pathetic prettyboy unicorn.
Old Wounds is a look into the alliance between Duke Hyden and Lord de Luxe, an alliance that winds up being a mere ploy for Hyden’s experimentation with unicorn blood and leaves Ambroys feeling rather drained (and often unconscious on Hyden’s floor). It takes place towards the end of their “friendship”, after there’s some serious bad blood between the two - bad blood that sustains a centuries-long grudge.
(Well - I say “bad blood,” but Hyden seems to think the blood is juuuust fine.)

for everyone who wanted to know more about this au!! here's part one of amarathine: reapers
reapers were created to let spirits move on to the afterlife; they are assigned one soul per lifetime and their sole purpose is to reap that soul. throughout a reaper's lifetime, their lifeforce will deplete on its own, and can only be replenished with the essence of a spirit, allowing it to reincarnate into the next reaper

Why Rendon Howe is evil
This is a little theory thats been going around in my head for several days.
Rendon Howe. Evil personified. Probably one of the most despicable and hated characters in the Dragon Age series. One of the characters thats most easily defined as being just plain bad and evil, with good reason. Even in the game itself no one likes him (with 1 exception that I'll mention later in this post)
Tumblr media
In the game, we really aren't given many reasons as to why he is the way he is and why he does the thing he does beyond saying he's evil, power hungry, and like he himself says as he dies, "I deserved more!" But recently I started to become curious about him to try to find out what had made him become like this, cause I prefer villains to have some complexity that goes beyond just "He's evil just because".
Rest of the analysis under the cut.
.
My main theory of why I think Rendon became "evil" is cause he may have suffered brain damage due to his injuries while fighting against Orlais with Maric and his rebels. My first thought for this came cause historically, Henry the 8th of England suffered several brain injuries during sporting events, and its believed that his injuries led to him having a severe personality change, which led to him become more radical, tyrannical and murderous.
After the death of his father and the Howe family joining the rebellion, Rendon joined Maric's forces and became close friends with Bryce Cousland, future Teyrn of Highever, and Leonas Bryland, future Arl of South Reach. The 3 of them fought together in the Battle of White River, which was the worse defeat the rebels suffered in the war against Orlais, and only 50 of the initial thousand soldier strong fereldan army survived.
Rendon was very badly injured during the battle, and Bryce and Leonas had to dragged him away to safety as the rebel army was crushed by the orlesians. Bryce was injured in the arm while trying to save Rendon from a chevalier. They got Rendon to Redcliffe and stayed with him for a month while he recovered before leaving to rejoin Maric and the rest of the rebel forces. While Rendon recovered in Redcliffe, he was tended to by Leonas's sister, Eliane, until he eventually recovered months later. He eventually proposed to her and they got married.
And here is the first bit of evidence we get of Rendon's attitude and behaviour completely changing after that battle and his wounds. From the wiki: "Leonas had become concerned by the changes in his friend's behavior since the battle and attempted to prevent the marriage." And some other quotes from Leonas that we get to her in dao: "Rendon Howe was no friend of mine. The boy I knew... died at the Battle of White River" and "That he didn't die years ago is the only thing worth mourning here." Leonas cut all contact with Rendon after he told him that he was only marrying his sister for her dowry and connections.
This goes back to what I mentioned earlier about the one person that seemed to care for Rendon. That person is Bryce Cousland.
Bryce and Eleanor were the only people that attended Rendon and Eliane's wedding, and even though Rendon was treated as a pariah by almost everyone in fereldan nobility, Bryce still maintained a friendly relation with Rendon, and seemed to have an almost protective attitude towards him, which contrasts greatly with how Leonas feels about Rendon. And this is where I came up with another theory about why this is. I believe that Bryce feels personally responsible for the injuries and near death that Rendon suffered during the Battle of White River and feels that he is somehow obligated to look after him. I can only hc why these could be, but maybe Rendon got injured while protecting Bryce, or maybe Bryce's actions during the battle led to Rendon's injuries. Maybe that's why Bryce seems to have keep pushing for the friendship that he once had with him, even though he clearly no longer was the same person. Cause Bryce felt responsible for the way Rendon had turned out.
Its possible that Rendon was just always like this, and those months he spent recovering just made him become super resentful against everything and everyone, but I do believe that the near death injuries he suffered during that battle, including possible head injuries and brain trauma, led to his personality changing and to him becoming the sheer villain we see ingame.
And to finish, a bit of background as to why Rendon would have hated Bryce even despite of this, here's a bit of info about them and about the relation between Highever and Amaranthine.
Tumblr media
Rendon's father, Tarleton, supported Orlais during their occupation of Ferelden, and was eventually hanged by the Couslands before the Howes officially joined the rebellion. Adding the fact that Highever was once part of Amaranthine before they rebelled to gain their independence and annexed a good part of southern Amaranthine after winning their independence war, it adds some context to how Rendon could have seen this part of his greater vengeance against the Couslands and Highever for killing his father and taking away land from Amaranthine.
TL,DR: Rendon Howe suffered grieveous injuries during the war against Orlais, including possible brain injuries which may have led to a complete personality shift and to him becoming the person that we see him being in the game.
