Navarra being a wreck means it's the perfect time to invade them! Big king Mark will keel over soon, his million strong family will tear eachother apart and Orlais can swoope in a paint the map whatever colour Orlais is on the map.
Maybe I've just been playing too much Crusader Kings...
Why. Why do you want an expanionist Orlais. LOGHAIN WOULD BE SO DISPLEASED, MOONDRUMMER.

Loghain would have to kill a MFer.
Because whenever Loghain becomes first warden and invades Orlais it'll make Loghainland larger, without having to attack anyone else.Why. Why do you want an expanionist Orlais. LOGHAIN WOULD BE SO DISPLEASED, MOONDRUMMER.

Ok...so a bunch of broken down wardens suffering from massive internal fracturing vs. Gaspard, General Skeeze lord with a massive army of well trained and beautifully armored chevaliers. Plus the Inquisition army. Do not doubt he will call on you to help. I think we know Loghainland is but a dream.
What would you do Moondrummer? Caught between duty to your treaty and your deep, un-ending love of the Hero of the River Dane, King of Your Heart - TERYN LOGHAIN?? Break down and cry on the Battlefield?

You just made me think of this.

Loghain has nothing in my world.
Psst, he's dead. ![]()
'Solas and Sigrun: so, be brave and want me back'
Yeah, I'm not going to lie. I ship this. Cute dwarven goth lady and Best Wolf, what's not to like?
My boyfriend took one of those personality type tests and sent it to me. I got the same result I usually get (ENFJ) but the subhead on this description - "Firm Believers In The People"
made me think of Solas.
I guess I am still at the point where everything is Solas.
'Tallis and Iron Bull: I don't want to fight about it anymore'
Oh prompt generator, you had to give me one of my OTPs, didn't you?
'Solas and Cullen: Forgotten Dreams'
All of the ideas I'm having for this are causing me to hellspiral about Cullen.
I guess I am still at the point where everything is Solas.
I feel you.
'Cassandra and Blackwall: Time to be Pirate'
Hey thread! I just popped in to say I'm in awe of all of you that can capture Solas' voice so accurately in fanfics!
I'm in the middle of writing a post break-up fic for my Lavellan. I've only been able to pen some of her immediate reaction but I'm planning to eventually have some chapters where Solas is featured but I worry that I will get his voice all wrong ![]()
Does anyone have pointers they could give me?
OMG I tried this promp thing and these are what I've got
Solas & Solas
on a sinking ship
What? XD
More importantly THIS:
Solas & f!Lavellan
This wasn't what I planned.
Isn't that the whole romance? XDDDDDD
Spoiler
I appreciate having you around, Moon. The loghain threads can get crazy around here.
Does anyone have pointers they could give me?
Honestly... if I'm having trouble catching a voice, I like to listen to the character's voice if possible. So for Solas, I'd go on youtube and just watch as much as possible where he's featured. Just pay attention to how he talks and that should help you pick up on the little nuances.

Blasphemy. There is never such thing as too much Crusader Kings ![]()
'Cassandra and Blackwall: Time to be Pirate'
Blackwall: YARR! Cap'n Thom Ranier of the S.S. Bad Decisions, reporrrrrrtin' fer duty!
Cassandra: *disgusted noise*
Inquisitor: Next week he has to pretend to be a nug. We'll see if he ever lies to the Inquisition again.
Blackwall: *cries forever*
...sorry, Blackwall. I like you, I do, but I like making fun of you more.
Guys! Guys! I'm dying from the cute!

This, definitely. And also think about how the person might react to certain situations., their personality traits, quirks, values, and such. Kind of come up with a 'profile' you can work from. Solas in particular generally speaks in a very exact, deliberate and formal manner, but he has a few tells, like whenever he pauses/hesitates or even uses a contraction when speaking.

He is clipped and precise and never wastes a word. He doesn't tend to emote his language is always pretty formal. He hardly ever openly lies but he is an expert at misdirection, i.e., he has a tendency to say things that may lead an undiscerning listener to believe that he has said something when he hasn't. He has an extremely dry and, sometimes, an extremely cynical sense of humour.
It is really fun to write dialogue for him.
