Atonement

Cara had done something very bad, he knew this much. Everyone was talking about it... the templars had come.

Her bed was empty now, except for the doll that lay forgotten on her pillow.

From his hiding place beneath the table, Cullen could hear the adults talking, completely unaware of how his sister’s fate was about to change his own.

A Letter to a Friend[

 
 Hello my good friend

 It has been a longtime since we last have written one another. I hope you well.  I am sad to inform you that this is the last letter I will send. I had to let someone know the truth and you of all people I
trust.  I have never really been the type to act. As you know, I have always been a quit spectator. As a part of
Starkhaven’s Aequitarian fraternity, I always believed in harmony, to try and
keep the peace between the Templars and mages. Sadly, harmony was out of grasp.
I never thought that the cruelty that was shown was possible. My friend I want
you to know my story and pass it on so that the world may know the truth of the
destruction at Starkhaven’s circle.

What was he? Who was he? And who was this girl in front of him? Something was wrong. He knew. Why was she crying. What was wrong? There was blood. Was that what was wrong? But no, she wasn't harmed. Just crying. And why was there so much blood. He didn't understand. What was wrong?

Aeonar

In the northern border of Ferelden, there lies a hidden mage prison, an ancient fortress of Tevinter. There lie the most powerful and dangerous mages of Thedas, and the Chantry's most stalwart Templars. But when the after effects of the Mage-Templar War reach its walls, what will happen?

Dragon Age: Dissension
By Inyri Ascending

Summary:
To keep the world safe from magic, we Templars do terrible things in
the name of the Maker- but perhaps some rules are not as clear as I once
believed, and the unrest born of the ashes of Kirkwall’s chantry
threatens to burn us all.

Heretic
[2,485 words]

It was an odd term, coming from those who killed in the name
of a woman of ash… But he found nothing surprising about it. All the lowlanders
were capable of was spewing their own selfish desires, claiming them Hers. It
was they, they and the Godkiller they hailed as a hero, that he thought of as
he stamped on the meager remains of the fire, smothering all trace of life,
leaving only ash. That is what they did. That is what he, a former cultist of
Haven, would have to do.

For he was one of them.

Growing Pains 

A young templar chases a young woman - who turns out to be Morrigan - around through the Fade, then finds out he likes to sleep next to the Eluvian, and that he's actually a mage. And stuff. I suck at abstracts; just read it.

"Sowing and Reaping"

A young mage is imprisoned in a Chantry cell. To keep the demons at bay, she immerses herself in memories of her life with her parents and older sister (who was also a mage) and of her capture by the templars, and dreams of what she will do once she has her freedom again.


First ever fanfic. I had fun doing this, I just might write another one!

A look inside the mind of a mage during his Harrowing.

---

"Harrowed Be Thy Mage"

Rage. Rage that drives me? No. Not rage. Not here because of vengeance. I came here in peace, or so it seems, cast into the Fade by a gathering of my brethren. My masters.
Do I yet hunger for the flesh, so soon departed? Forsaken through lyrium, spirit set to wander into the Fade—out of the rhythm of heart and blood. Lyrium's dream: bright, unfolding.
Neither skin nor sustenance nor famine's end any notions of mine. Soul is sustenance here.

The Paths We Choose

Failing or succeeding? Planning or sabotaging? What is it that truly determines our fate. Through her shortcomings a young Templar learns that sometimes the right thing isn’t the best thing. Torn between her duties and compassionate nature, her judgment is clouded but for a brief moment. It’s that moment that will define her, that moment where she will learn what sets Mages and Templar apart. Despite our efforts were cannot defy what we were born to be.

Dreams of Reality:

As Ser Thelmor slept, he dreamt of Abominations.

There had been another failed Harrowing earlier that day. Bryan Erwing, a young elf mage who had seemed very promising during his study at the Circle, but in the end Ser Thelmor was forced to strike him down.

The creatures that were haunting his waking hours had begun to haunt his dreams, and he knew that he wasn’t the only one affected.

Ser Themlor awoke with a sense of dread. And on the other side of the Tower, another templar quickly sat up in her bed, and screamed.

The Threshold
   The man with the axe has two choices.  Kill either the girl on the
floor in front of him or the man standing behind him.
   The girl on the floor, she already looks like a ghost.  Her skin and her hair the same pale moon
color.  The ends of her hair dangle inches above the dark grey stones underneath her.  Her little wrists hang up in the air on either side of her by fat iron cuffs and chains.  Deep red lines mark the insides of her arms,
from the iron cuffs to her elbows.  The lines go up and down and side to side, each one going off in a different
direction.
   The man behind him says the same things he’s been saying for the last hour.  Since the two of them first crossed the threshold into the dungeon cell.
   Saying Tiernan, this is not the time for weakness.
   Tiernan, this is part of being a Templar.
   Tiernan, the girl is a blood mage.  There is no other choice.



Good luck, everyone. ^_^

Cameo

Senior Enchanter Barvera has all a mage could ask for in Antiva: power, prestige, patronage. He also has a daring plan - one that will see him beyond the walls of the Circle of Magi and into the streets and alleyways of the city during Satinalia. Or, so the story goes.

Kirren Ridgeland, a promising new Templar, must face his first mage hunt and learn the ways of his order. In the end, however, he must decide if the cause that he has put so much of his heart into, is worth the sacrifice that is asked of him. Will he retreat to his past with his family, or will he embrace the future by following his duty?

This is my first time writing from a male perspective. It should be interesting. The limit on this thing killed me haha!
My story follows a templar with a mysterious past that he can't seem to remember. That is, until a mage named Claudia is brought to the Circle in Ferelden. And she knows him. This is Forgotten.
****
Light filters in through the darkness... I shirk away from the reddish hue and the movement sends a flash of pain coursing through me, making me grit my teeth. Where am I? The question reverbrates inside my skull behind my still closed eyelids, and I attempt to fall back into black oblivion.
The shadows have almost reclaimed me, when suddenly there are voices. My eyes snap open and I see dark faces, before the screaming jerks me back into unconsciousness.

This is an excerpt from my story. Good luck everyone!

*ninja-enters at the last minute*

Circles

His life was a series of circles, like the rings of an aging oak. They strung together in a chain across the fog of his memories, made steel-strong and silver-bright by the Order. They made him drink deep of the Fade Waters, and as he drank he thirsted for them still more, clinging to those chain-links so that he wouldn’t drown in the rising fog.

When his brother was born, he remembered, he’d wanted to hold him. He’d stretched out his skinny arms towards his mother, and kept them rigid as stone to show her that he was strong enough.

“Not like that, Hector,” she had said. “Like this. Like a circle.”

He’d pulled his arms in close, looking down at their sunburnt and freckled skin. Like a statue he’d waited with his head down until the weight of the infant was settled within them. Then he’d cradled his sleeping brother close, barely moving for fear of breaking the circle that supported his small body.

The circle would protect his brother.

 Ever since her apostate father murdered her mother, Nanie has carried the scars. When a templar brings her father to justice with his sword, she knows her path -- to become a templar herself. But when she fails the final test, she and the Knight-Commander must come to terms with who Nanie really is.

Lackluster

(Set pre-Origins/Broken Circle)


Mercelles was never one to stand out of the crowd. He didn’t have any real ambitions to speak of, and maybe that’s why the First Enchanter of Circle Tower was surprised when he passed his harrowing so easily. A pity it took him so many years to prepare himself properly for it. And now everything is falling apart. It isn’t every day a committed, but talentless and lackluster mage has a chance to do something heroic. But can he even manage to do it right?

My story is set just outside Kirkwall after the war between the Mages and Templars. In my story Hawke sided with the Templars (although Hawke receives no mention in my story). Even though the Templars were right (reinforced by Hawke's actions) Ser Gavin begins to question his role as he is sent to the Bone Pitt to look for Shari, an apostate who had escaped during Meredith's reign. This story was inspired by Wynne's stance in Asunder, however it does not take any aspects from the books plot line.

The Fisherman Mage

Most stories are about the hero, powerful and victorious. But what about someone caught up in the same events who isn't so powerful. What happens to them and how would they have survived. This is a story of one such mage. Born to a family of fishermen he was found to be a mage if only barely. He did have a talent for being near pivotal events, but just missing them. What do you do when major events swirl around you, but all you want to do is fish.

Mage's Plight

Ren was holding so tightly to her staff that she could feel the blood pumping through the veins in her hands. Her tight black curls bounced around her slender face as she surveyed the area around her. Law and order had ceased only moments ago, but it was as if it had never existed. They were rogue mages now, ready to unleash an armageddon of dark magic upon the face of Thedas. At least that was the propaganda being shouted in the streets. They were wanted for treason; not one, but all mages were guilty.

Dragon Age: Following the Mage
An untold story of a Templar captain. His name... Cerzon. He follows the "Warden" nearly all around Ferelden to the limits. However, it is sad to have fate catch up to you.Enjoy Templar-Captain Cerzon in this short story. He retells the story of the Warden from his own eyes.

 Dragon Age
Last Chance

"Not all Mages are weak... and not all Templar are callous, rude, unfeeling, Mage-hunting nug-lickers. I never wanted my power or the responsibility for it, but I have it. It is embedded in me like a burning ember waiting to ignite a firestorm, and I am entirely culpable of my actions for it. I take full responsibility of the Maker's blessing upon me for all the ups and downs of magic.

The world has Mages who throw their power around like a toy, and where others only see us as a dangerous weapon to be controlled. And nobody takes responsibility or trusts each other.

A new Trust has to be made and I want to help forge it. The world will change, and we are all responsible for its stewardship."



Thanks all!
Good luck and take care!

Questions of Duty 
Thefirst templar viewed Tavric with thinly-veiled contempt. “And what if we do, Whelp? We're here to keep these... mages... from burning Kirkwall to the ground. Any business of yours how we do it?” He squared his shoulders to Tavric and took a slow step forward to respond to the young templar's challenge.

Tavric stood his ground. “And if I make it mine?”

 I'm Not One Of Them
A templar with an unusual past decides the fate of an apostate. He hesitates for a moment and get lost inside his own memories, while being questioned by his enemy about his actions
       "Some
envy those who are born mages, probably they do not know the fear of
having your body torn apart by a demon. They may sleep in peace, having sweet
dreams while they stroll through the Fade. Every time I slept, I feared that
I’d never wake up again."
