Happy 5000 Pages!!!
Thank you for the Memories!

And some gifs i made:









Congrats on page 5000!
I have a message from Cullen, he says:
King Alistair arrives at Skyhold to meet with the Inquisition, not expecting to encounter a certain former Templar he hasn't seen since the abominations took over Kinloch Hold 10 years ago. It turns out the memory of Solona Amell haunts them both. Some feels and angst mixed with humor and an uplifting ending!
In this story, Amell died in the Ultimate Sacrifice and King Alistair rules alone. Featuring Cullen, of course.

MY CONTRIBUTION FOR THE 5k CELEBRATION:
I have been keeping this song up my sleeve this whole time. It is the perfect theme for my story and can be seen from both Cullen's POV and Mira's POV. I hope I won't have to explain why I think this song is fits my story the most. It should explain itself ![]()
This song would best be played when Mira battles the antagonist of the story.
Super short, super sweet, hope you all like! Lotsa love, Cullenites!!! ![]()
It's called "The Boy and the Lake".

There are many moments I remember fondly from my DA:I play through, and most of them include Cullen. What resonated with me was his desire to break away from an organization that he had once worshiped, but that has ultimately failed him and his brethren - the Templar Order. This includes Cullen's struggle with lyrium, his regret for Samson's fate, and his fear that under different circumstances he could have become the villain. Hope you enjoy my contributions that revolve around these themes.

YAYAY I MADE IT. My cullen poem will be here in a few moments
HERE IS MY CULLEN POEM!
(Best if read while listening to "Eclipse" by Helen Jane Long)
I, Cullen Stanton Rutherford
A lilt meanders through a bustling alley,
kissing and caressing the ears with its enchanting strain.
General of the Inquisition
A warm smile blooms across flushed cheeks,
coaxing the heart into a waltz that mimics her own.
Vow to honor and serve to my greatest capacity
A fragile body crumples in the snow,
trembling in the arms that tear her from death’s eternal clutches
Whether in honor and greatness
Chestnut curls shimmer beneath the beaming sun,
cascading down as she claims Skyhold as her fortress.
Or in pain and strife
Gentle fingers trail across the forehead,
cooling the pain that claws at the veins with blistering skin.
For the Maker is my guide
Honeyed lips part for a tongue tasting of long-awaited bliss,
yearning to dissolve the chaos that threatens to wrench the world apart.
And His gaze will preserve me
A charming face masked beneath feathers and sapphire lace,
Illuminates under the stars as she twirls atop the Orlesian balcony
And grant me fortitude
A back arches gracefully over a worn desk,
thread and skin peeling away until only two intertwining souls remain.
So I shall not fear death but embrace it
Brilliant green light pierces through the clouds; feet slap the pavement,
sprinting into the arms that cling to the promise of reunion.
For the glory of the Inquisition
A blade clatters to the earth as a bloodcurdling cry washes over the land,
Striking dread into the hearts of those who hear it.
The prosperity of Thedas
Glazed eyes stare vacantly into the void,
blind to the sobs that rattle the chest and strangle the throat with a steel fist.
And for us all.
A gold coin glints mockingly amidst the rubble,
Cackling at the fallen as it corrodes beneath blood and decay…

EDIT: Zarro, unfortunately I can't play your videos because the German society for musical performing and mechanical reproduction right (GEMA) has blocked the songs here due to copyright infringement. What songs did you use?
Congrats, Cullenites
