Is it out of character for him to speak of the Rebellion when asked about it? Certainly we see him speak a lot about Maric already.

If Missa would ask about Rowan, I don't think that he would go and say "and yeah, we loved each other, but I had to let her go for the good of Ferelden" no matter how hard you construct it.

What you have otherwise is a weak conjecture that he liked her, nothing else.

Edit: And in that case, that comment would just be even more distasteful.

Yea I don't think Loghain would ever speak about this to anyone. It seems not even Eamon knew this.

EDIT: then again, he doesn't know that Isolde is being banged by his bro.

I agree with this. I reckon his wife knew, somehow. Rowan was there as a satalite figure in their relationship, even unsaid. Just as Maric and Rowan dealt with their own Loghain/Catriel issues.

Loghain gives Eamon's powers of observation too much credit, yes.

Yeah, when Loghain's like "You don't think Eamon's that petty about blood? Then how do you explain the fact that he 'never noticed' his son was a mage?", my initial reaction was "Because he never pays attention to these things." And he never does seem to...

Nor does he seem to notice that his beloved Theirin is being executed.

 Everyone's always so hard on him for not trying to step in and stop his execution and if you don't say anything Anora goes off and does it without anyone saying a word but I see now that we've been too harsh on him: it's not like he doesn't care, he just stopped paying attention after his speech was done, tuned in briefly when the fighting started, and then once he put you in charge of the decision he started thinking about other things again.

I so want it to be a xylophone. Just because. Making something piono-ish or organ-is would be possible too.

Hi.  I'm a medieval music nut.  Ergo, must butt in.

I wouldn't write wood off entirely.  There's apparently enough of it for there to be barrels and chests a-go-go in the Carta lair and elsewhere.  But for the sake of being different...

* Definitely seconding soignee on bells.

* It's not a far leap from an array of bells/hand bells to a xylophone.  If you want that, I say go for it, because it sounds fun.  They say that Pythagoras developed music theory when he heard smiths using different sized hammers on an anvil.

* Early fipple (end blown) flutes were often made from the leg bones of dinner.  Nugs are too small but you could get some huge baritone pipes out of a bronto. Difficulty: dwarf fingers may not have the reach for such a long instrument.  Perhaps there's a smaller bone in the bronto that could be used.

* A Germanic or Anglo-Saxon lyre would conserve wood (you can make one out of a plank) and would fit with some of the Nordic borrowing going on.  A Finnish kantele would be another option.  Historically, you'd probably string them both with gut or horsehair; some folks today string lyres with wire and just about all kantele are wire-strung.  It also gets you strings without being another standard-issue harp or lute.

* Drums.  Drums in the deep.

* Other percussion: jangly metal bits on sticks that you'd rattle, cymbals, rattlers/shakers, "clatter-sticks"

* Horns, either metal (for fanfare) or maybe those weird protrustions on a bronto are hollow and can be sounded like a blowing horn (no holes for fingering) or gemshorn (holes for fingering).

* More modernly, there's a variety of glass instruments out there.  Volcanic glass armonica, maybe?

Maybe a flute, but the other things are out of it in my opinion. Just feels wrong.

look, think at what they have on hand;

*bronto/nug leather for skins
*metal. Lots of it.
*An understanding of ventalitation and/or what happens when air whistles around shafts/tubes.

Research metal instruments, see what you think fits.

Nug bone with the marrow sucked out? (it's not uncommon food source after all) Then just blow into it, and a starting point for a (pan)flute right there...

1. Laaadies, tmp added the unisex leather armor to his dwarf mod a couple days ago if you didn't see it before!



2. Soignee, I remembered that you liked owls so I brought back a memorabilia for you from Las Vegas.

[soignee]

Wellllcomeeee back, gilsa! Hopefully your toddler didn't drive you toooo insane.

Speaking of santily glad ladies (thanks hooters!), I finished Missa's tattooooosssss: click here! (NSFW due to naked Missa)

Welcome back, Gilsa!

[Gilsa]

Very nice. I like the strong dwarven style to it. I can't see the detail well on my monitor, but what is the circular symbol on her right shoulder?

Badly spelled dwarven runes?

You know, I didn't actually expect nakedness when I clicked on that link although that may have been a little naive...

bingo.

Something like this:



I appear to have destroyed my original artwork I drew for the design when I flattened everything to a PNG file, so frucking herrppppderp of me it's not even funny. OH WELL.

And the tramp stamp is a bronto?

yup. I'm there going. what would a stupid 15 year old Missa have done? Since a butterfly and/or dolphin tramp stamp is out of the question, I went with bronto. Not exactly a feminine creature, but whatever- least it's not a deepstalker.

the animals/people in the artwork in the game's archictecture/ end up looking all geometic, so that's why my bronto is all disjointed.

hello I am putting my design degree to good use amirite? 

[Sarah1281]

At least it isn't a nug. Leliana would jump her.

It is in very much the same style as the other dwarvenized faces (lex Aeducan shield).

[Gilsa]

I knew it was a bronto on her back -- highly approved of you using that as a symbol.

I might make the stomach tattoo smaller, but not sure now. It all keeps on shifting in my head weirdly. I could take on Zevran's tattoos next, but eh. That really is pulling sh*t out of my ass, everything that's been said about Antiva can fit on the back of a postage stamp. (I think Zevran's tattoos are not Dalish at all, more a Crow thing.)

I like the size of that one as it is now, but it is your OC.

glass exists in ther DA universe, right? Of course dwarves would've invented it first...
