The quartet of templars and Dayved marched in single column up to the seneschal's door. 

"You four remain here and stand at attention. You're now on protection duty," said Dayved.

"We're guarding the seneschal, sir? He's not of the chantry,.." said Mora, a young female templar, who looks more aged than she should for being only 22. Lyrium has been in very short supply and the remaining templars are having to space out their dosages even longer than ever.

"You're guarding me," said Dayved as he knocked on the door.

Before the hand fell down on the door for the fourth time, a slight female voice from behind the door asked, "Please wait. Is this official business?"

"Yes it is. Urgent as well. Tell the seneschal the Templars are here to report an issue."

"Aye, my lord," replied the voice. A few quiet moments later, Mora asked aloud, "From bloody who?"

"Apostates, but that may change," Dayved replied while making sure his armor was presentable. 

"How do bloody apostates figure in changing?" said Mora, now clutching her sword pommel. 

"We take them in as lost brothers and sisters. Besides, they're deserving of the Chantry as we do." 

"How many sir?" said Edwin, an older Templar who transferred here from the lost Lothering chantry.

"About 12. Maybe more, but they're in the Chantry now," said Dayved. "Relax. Actually, I don't know who is going to kill me after this. I just bloody let in 12 apostates thinking it would saves lives at the gate, but what if... they're not the evil we think them to be. They were once our brothers and sisters and we let them down. Oh yes..."

The door opens and a slight elven lad bids the Templars inside. The seneschal was already standing in the main hallway to greet Dayved.

LOL Actually Yes. read my bio and it pretty much explains why I am the way I am.

 

Pretty "impressive" in absence of probably more fitting words. ^^ Cool woman, keep it up. :)

 

 

@Jackal19851111: Over at the CE forums you remember trouble with Bioware and their PR department. You also mention a thread. Can you link to it?

 

I guess it was somewhat discussed here but the context felt a bit out of range. ;)

@ Cyan Griffonclaw

 

 

Cyan Griffonclaw’s Tale thus far.

 

    Today was one of those days that Jorin wished he wasn’t assigned to the main gate of the Denerim. 

 

*snip*

 

Jorin, now worried, opened the door ajar and saw the aging warrior sitting at the edge of his bed rubbing the sleep from his eyes. Dayved looked up at Jorin and smiled. “I already got an earful from Brother Canell last night. So how many are there?”

“Hundreds. Maybe thousands. The mob stretches to the horizon.”

The smile quickly faded from Dayved’s face. He exhaled deeply and asked Jorin to help him put his on armor for old time’s sake.

Morning breath and incense were overpowering Jorin’s sense of smell as he helped the older veteran put on his intricate armor that served as protection and defined the person wearing it as an appointed soldier of the faith. Once the armor was fastened, Dayved opened a cabinet where his longsword stood wrapped in purple cloth. He unwrapped the sword from its protective cloth and studied it. It was still as shiny and unused as the day it was presented to him by King Maric, father of the new king who was once a Templar in training and one of three Grey Wardens to end the fifth blight.

The sword was a gift for Dayved who had fought a darkspawn squad that was intent on killing Queen Anora. Dayved, not a Grey Warden, fought the darkspawn quartet of two Genlocks, one Hurlock and an ogre. He barely survived the assault, but Queen Anora was kept safe. It also helped that a lost Legion of the Dead squad arrived and pretty much saved Dayved and Queen Anora, but that’s up to debate. Queen Anora was safely hidden in alley behind some barrels and could only see Dayved absorbing abuse from the ogre. Okay, abuse is not good enough. The ogre was repeatedly jumping up and down on Dayved’s shield and screaming into Dayved’s face. I digress…

The sword, decorated with various jewels indigenous to the southern lands, wasn’t just used for ceremonial purposes. It was made by the kingdom’s best blacksmith, Herren. It was tailor-made for the Templar. He pulled his second Templar shield down from the wall where it has gathered dust. The shield, a mix of onyx, silverite and everite was commissioned by the church to honor those who will defend the interests of the faith during the siege of Denerim. 

 

*snip*  

 

 

That is amazing work. Once again we reminded how many talented people around us.
 
And few things caught my eye (maybe, I'm just misunderstood with my "language barrier", in that case feel free to ignore me :P ):
 
1) In first part that I marked, I got the impression that king Maric presented that sword to the Templar. But he (king Maric) disappeared 5 years before the Fifth Blight.
 
2) Herren - merchant & business partner of Wade, who's blacksmith.
 
And, maybe, it would be more convenient to start separate thread for writing, just thoughts though  :D

you guys think I should start rewriting my first novel? after 3 or 4 years I never made it past half finished, & I don't even have a basic outline for it anymore. I abandoned it about 17 or so years ago.

OK, YES! That's what I'm talking about. Hoowah! That's editing. Canon needs to be right or it fails to deliver the right story. Unh.

It's not as if I'm DA lore guru, but if I can, I'll be glad to help as far as possible.
i'm willing to fact-check even though someone should fact-check me))

The seneschal was a cousin of Queen Anora. He wasn't particularly tall and a bit pale. Dayved quickly deduced that this fellow spends too much time reading by candlelight. He was one of those bookworms...

 

"WHAT IN THE MAKER DID YOU JUST LET HAPPEN?!?" yelled the seneschal, Ser Larus, his face now really full of color and veins popping out from an alarming number of places.

 

Dayved was stunned. The templar stood in rare silence. Maker's breath! A small miracle occurred. Dayved will think his next statement through. 

 

"Ser Larus... I allowed chantry brothers and sisters to return to the fold. We have secured a victory in this mage rebellion and kept Denerim at peace. We have experienced healers and a secret weapon if something awful should occur. That is what happened and happening," said Dayved who for the first time in a long, long time... Dayved felt the Maker's blessing and in complete confidence of what he said.

 

With a few tears in his eyes, "Please pass that onto King Alistair. Will that be all, Ser Lanus?"

 

Ser Lanus' face still red, his right eye twitched... yes, it's twitching all about... "...oh, do I need a healer in here?" thought an increasingly alarmed Dayved. "Ser..."

 

And the Ser Lanus exhaled. He went pale again and said, "You're bloody insane." Oh yes, the twitching seem to get worse and then Ser Lanus started laughing. "You... are... Yes, you're insane or just drunk?"

 

Then Dayved forgot to think through his next statement. "Ser Lanus, I am dead serious. Deliver the message or someone else will. I have Chantry business to get back to..."

 

The Templar made an about-face, marched out of the room and ordered his men to cover him now.

 

The seneschal didn't deliver the message after all. He died of a stroke or heart failure soon after the encounter. It was the first unsuccessful attempt to heal someone by the new chantry brothers and sisters. Instead, Queen Anora appointed Sister Perpetua of the Denerim chantry, who happens to be the next Revered Mother of Denerim. 

 

"Now where are we headed, sir?" said the newest and youngest of the Templars, Ser Polli. 

 

"Maker. To the Tavern. To the Chantry. In that order," said Dayved. 

 

"A round of drinks for us," asked Mora. 

 

Dayved stopped, "No. I get pissed. You make sure I get to enjoy getting pissed. You're on duty."

 

Mora's esprit de corps suffered for a bit, but she would get even with the old bastard.

Reading some of the posts, I think I will fire up DAO again and install some of these new mods.

 

Of course, I'll fall for Morrigan or Leliana... Last time I played, I convinced Leliana that she was better off away from the chantry.. hehe

   The story being told through codex and through conversation is pretty decent overall. 

If I wanted to read about the Lore I go to wikipedia...so I rarely read the codex...

 

In any case, DAI is gone from my PC for now.

Sorry, missed your post.

 

Thread Here:

http://forum.bioware...of-multiplayer/

 

The video goes on about the problems in DAMP as well as the rather awkward "PR" recieved, it's quite interesting.

 

Amelia's reply here:

http://forum.bioware...yer/?p=18433303

 

The thread is locked and Allen proved his point very well, that's exactly what he is afraid of - people using his posts and pinning to threads/vids/media etc. Amelia had courage - have to give her kudos for that at least.

Wow...just wow. This almost feels (reads) like a total meltdown and as if some of the developers don't have any boss to answer to. Or that boss simply doesn't give a **** of how his employees behave on the social networks.

 

This is insane. What happened during ME3 and DAI, is anything left of Bioware? :blink:

Yes, I think he did a very good job of that too.

 

Amelia's response was all too indicative of how BiowEAre views us now.

Exactly, now you know why it's the final nail on the coffin for me.

 

I made a "last impressions" thread trying to resurrect a corpse but hey, I'm a foolish fanboy.

Heh, still remember posting on the "Request for walk button" thread;

"What is the most powerful demon in Dragon Age Bioware?"

 

At that time I still used Bioware instead of "Bioware"

My son got me into gaming! He used to have LAN parties. Unreal Tournament, Doom, Quake and so on.


Hey-Quake was my first game (well besides Legend of Zelda on a used Nintendo)
