Keeper Hawen's Clan should be Clan Lindiranae

this is a stray thought I was going to develop more but... just to put it out there... I really feel like Keeper Hawen's Clan (the clan in the Exalted Plains map in Inquistition) should be named Clan Lindiranae.

Reasons:

Lindiranae is introduced in Inquisition as a Dalish legendary figure, and is pretty heavily emphasized among the rest of them with specific related mentions in codex entries, quests, plus related artifacts like the sword Evanura

Valorin, the young mage elf who was passed over to be First by Hawen, goes off in search of a talisman of Lindiranae in the Something To Prove side quest

The text of the quest even says, "Valorin was searching for Lindiranae's talisman, a lost Dalish artifact of particular importance to Hawen's clan. Valorin's journal mentions ruins on the plains where the talisman may be found."

They really should have just confirmed it. It would have been so easy to make more explicit in the "Something to Prove" quest and wow then we would have had a name everyone could use for them. From that "of particular importance" line I really feel it was meant to be canon and they just forgot to follow up on it and didn't bother to confirm after the fact. Which... there's still time.

WIP Wednesday

“The stone statue stood thirty, maybe even forty feet tall. I, myself, was over six foot and I only reached halfway up the ornately carved square base of the thing. Though overgrown, the circle of tiles set into the ground around it was still visible, ornate, decorative, and, if I was being honest with myself, fairly beautiful. But the figure offered me no comfort. “Andraste’s Mercy” it was called. Not the first monument commemorating the Exalted Marches that we had passed here. Always the same carving, their Bride of the Maker wearing hooded robes and her signature circlet, standing tall with her arms folded to clasp to her chest. But where some might look upon her and feel the warmth of an embrace, I felt as though she were scowling down at me.

For it was not any word of Andraste’s inscribed at her feet. No, there, carved into eternity, were the words of the now legendary Sister Amity.

“Elves were guilty of the greatest sin, turning from the Maker. But we will show them mercy, for that is what Andraste teaches.”

‘Mercy’. Hah.”

A snippet of the next chapter I’m working on.

Ok, so Crest’s new video on the internal data names for Dark Souls 2 is out and wow. This game. Wtf.

—

First off, this name makes perfect sense for Shanalotte, aka the “I’m part dragon because of experiments” girl that is somehow the game’s firekeeper but also…not? She’s really interesting to me when in comparison to the other Souls bonfire maidens, and there’s this odd bit of story separation with her. She seems really independent of us in little ways, and maybe her motives with wanting us to link the fire are tied strictly to her own personal beliefs, not just because it’s her duty. Also, it seems like her name could be more accurately translated to “Dragon Priestess” which is…even more fascinating. Her mystery will never not engage me.

Pate is Patches. Dark Souls 2 always had Patches and we all knew it. Even if he doesn’t have the same VA, we just know the archetype is there. Even his “mild-mannered” and silver-tongued persuasion is accurate to the general character. Personally, I think it’s pretty funny that they still found a way to insert the conniving bastard into this game.

He’s apparently just Ornstein….which is obvious, but admittedly it’s confusing as hell. In my eyes, this is Ornstein mid-journey and on his way to find NK. We get to fight him in-game for fun, but in the “time is convoluted” world of Dark Souls, that never actually happened. Ornstein went on his way just fine. Alternative interpretations are always welcome though.

SEA SOLAIRE!! LUCATIEL IS THE SOLAIRE OF DS2 AND WE ALL KNEW IT!! This honestly makes me emotional, because she really did get us all in the feels the way Solaire did, and the theme of slow decay/hollowing and the desperation to stop it is so poignant for both characters. They’re uniquely written too, which I appreciate because even though it’s the same archetype, Lucatiel and Solaire both stand out as individuals as well. My beautiful and sad blorbos </3

Ok, so Creighton and Benhart are/were apparently father and son…which is kinda cool? It’s too bad the final game didn’t cement any connection besides their crest sigils, but I’d still accept it as canon, personally.

She’s just like me fr

Lucatiel’s older brother! This is the first time I’ve seen him unmasked and it’s kinda sad. He was just a normal lad.

Agdayne is a Jojo reference, guys. It’s true. Darklurker is his stand 💀

(In all seriousness, I wonder what the actual connection here was? It’s fascinating).

And finally, to absolutely nobody’s surprise! I hate this so much lmaoooo. I also can’t get it out of my head now that Dark Souls 2 is full of random Star Wars references and that’s what gives it such a unique and alien vibe compared to the other games 💀 (I mean, even the Desert Sorceresses look a bit like Leia’s slave getup in Return of the Jedi skdjdksks).

—

Anyway, this was bizarre and as usual, I can see the verge, or the vague image of how complex DS2 was originally meant to be. There’s just so much going on here, but it doesn’t seem like they put the time into really finishing it. I still love this game, flaws and all, but I do wish they would have…actually finished it.

#this is gonna plague my brain for hours now #i really do love ds2 but it needs fixing in a lot of spots #dark souls #dark souls 2 #emerald herald #lucatiel of mirrah #patches dark souls #creighton the wanderer #benhart of jugo #covetous demon #grave warden agdayne #dragonslayer ornstein #crestfallen #CrowNotes

#fellas is it gay to use the freshly turned soil of your unhealthily attached best friend's grave to masturbate?#fellas is it gay to get on your knees and be fed champagne straight from the bottle by ur friend #fellas is it gay to hold your friends face while begging them to forgive you and professing your obsession #seems like just guys being dudes to me ! clearly NO homoerotic undertones happening here #my post #saltburn #jacob elordi #barry keoghan #emerald fennell #film #felix catton #oliver quick

Still can’t get over that time Bull called Cole a demon and Cole immediately said ‘Yeah and you’re a latent mage who’s lying about it’ in the middle of the party; never seen a man shut up so fast in my life. Just:
