 Though I am not finished with Stickly, I went ahead and made my "Tranquisitor." I decided Qunari was the only race with a backstory that could work with the general idea I am going for.

 

Sumalee Adaar (guess which voice I picked) was a Saarebaas whose parents escaped the Qun before she was born, and lived a mercenary life. However, though Tal-Vashoth, they carried many of the same beliefs as traditional Qunari -- including those about magic, and of not wasting anything. Sumalee could not aptly control her magic, and her fellows and parents both did not know where to turn to give her training. So she was qamek'd (Tranquility). However, the Valo-Kas still made use of her. She was well-built and very athletic. With training, she became very effective at dual-wielding daggers. As a Tranquil, Sumalee did her job with cold, brutal efficiency. All she was focused on was her goal -- killing the enemy -- and held nothing back towards achieving that end. Her skill was exceptional and she had some pretty impressive moments in her time with the VK. However, most of the mercs saw her as a freak and did not really accept her. A few took pity, and kept the others from mistreating her any worse than the insults.

 

Her merc group was hired to attend The Conclave as bodyguards. Her memory of what happened shortly after arriving has been lost. All she knows is that whatever happened there imparted some strange magic on the palm her hand. In effect, though she remain predominantly Tranquil, she has regained some emotional ability enough to pass for a regular person. However, she does not tell anyone about the lingering effects of the qamek, fearing that she will be judged and treated negatively as she was before. Being treated as an equal is new to her and she is terrified of going back.

I'm trapped in what will be the most unfulfilled head canon ever:

 

My Leliana hardened on me, and my Inquisitor is more of a gentle type. After she kills the chick at the Valence Chantry they argue about the means she uses. She had acquired this philosophy from my Warden, who did some pretty awful things to stop the Blight, but they were necessary. Poor Quizzy also instantly mistrusts Morrigan, leading to many arguments, and drinks from the Well of Sorrows as much to spite her as to gain the power (even SOLAS thought it was a better option). Now he's enslaved to her mother (and less than thrilled about it) and can't take back his support for Leliana as the new Divine, as he risks losing his lover, Cassandra. 

 

What I WISH this was building up to, is a conflict with Kieran's baby daddy. Flemeth made it clear she's going to hunt down the newly (maybe?) reunited HoF and Morrigan, and I don't think for a second that her new pet Inquisitor won't do some of the heavy lifting (plus he didn't like Morrigan anyway). What I wish would happen (but won't) is that the HoF and Morrigan would reach out to new Divine and ex-lover (converted to BFF) Leliana or bro/King of Ferelden Alistair to rein in the Inquisition as it is clearly run by Flemeth now, whether the Quizzy likes it or not. HoF, Morrigan, Leliana, Alistair vs. Quizzy, Cassandra, and crew? A game I can only dream of (literally...) Unfortunately We'll all be rolling into DA4 with some new guy whose going to be over their head from the start (but won't be due to Chosen One Power X).

Inquisitor Ebasit Adaar 1/4

 

Ebasit's parents were Dreadnought gunners and sailors who deserted the Qunari and restarted their lives as beef and wheat farmers in Rivain. Ebasit was born shortly afterwards as a Vashoth, though he was still called Qunari by other human children. Which often led to fights which he won.

 

Learning Warrior and Rogue skills from his parents, Ebasit excelled in swordplay, but found his true calling to be archery. His exotic features and hardened physique made him popular with girls and he was quiet and quick enough to avoid detection by volatile parents or overprotective mothers and brothers. However, he knew that the simple life of a farmer would never satisfy him. He wanted to see the wider world and test his mantle.

 

The wider world came to him when he was 15 after a neat "rough and tumble" with a flexible elf girl. He was returning home before dawn when he came upon a battle between tevinter mages and Tal-Vashoth. Ebasit tried to protect his home, but was quickly brought to the brink of death by the magic of the Tevinter Mage. He woke up with Tal-Vashoth irons clamped upon his limbs. All others in his village had been killed or driven into the wilderness and the mercenaries thought that Ebasit would fetch a good price when sold to a good buyer.

 

It was only 2 months as a captive, but Ebasit considered it the worst time of his life. The Tal-Vashoth tormented and degraded him terribly and mocked him for not being as "Qunari" as they were. When Ebasit dared to talk back to them, he was beaten to an inch of his life and healed back to health just to be beaten again. Adaar's first taste of the wider world was not a kind one and it shaped him for the rest of his days. He particularly noted the "Qun speech" that the soldiers took when speaking around him. They thought he didn't know their tongue, but his mother had taught him enough to understand what they were laughing at him for.

 

They took turns ravaging his mother while his dying father watched. Then they mutilated and blinded her before letting their dogs eat her alive and they laughed as she screamed.

 

After that, Ebasit stopped putting up much of a fight to his captor's disappointment. But Ebasit bid his time. That time came when the Tal-Vashoth were attacked by a band of mercenaries known as the Grey Elks. The surprise attack caught the qunari off-guard and gave Ebasit a chance to undo his bounds while his captors were busy fending for their lives. Adaar then snuck up to the leader of the Tal-Vashoth and stabbed him in the back of his neck so hard that the blade came out through the front. Adaar watched the man gargle and suffer with cold indifference before stripping him of his blades, bow and arrows. He then slew his captors and was accepted into the Grey Elks as a member.

 

The Grey Elks trained him the arts of assassin, chemistry and Ebasit's relationship with a former dalish ranger further lead to learning the art of wielding double-bladed weaponry. The Ranger named Miwyn was a pretty girl with severe burn marks on her arm and neck from when her former keeper was possessed by a demon and had to be killed. As Ebasit was a horned giant with his own scars, he didn't care about her's and she taught him about drawing human, elf and qunari anatomy with first-hand tutoring. Ebasit felt close to the Grey Elks after the lose of his own family and eventually became one of their best members in 2 years.

 

This came to an end when the Grey Elks agreed to escort a band of apostates and escaped Circle mages away from Nevarra. Templars caught up to the mercenary band and a fight ensued with the Grey Elks being killed to the last man. Ebasit and Miwyn were off rutting away from the camp when the attack came and returned to find that one of their contractors was a demon summoner. Miwyn wanted to fight, but Ebasit knew that this would only add to the body count and knocked her out before taking her away from the site.

 

Miwyn never forgave Adaar for his actions and they parted ways ever since. Ebasit Adaar then took on the nickname of the "Grey Elk" and became a lone mercenary for the next few decades. He traveled through out Nevarra, the Anderfals, Rivain and the Free Marches in search of fortune and work. In his travels, he created a black bow with two blades on each limb and it became his signature weapon.

 

Eventually, he came upon the Valo-Kas Mercenary group and was offered a position in their ranks. Ebasit wasn't much for permanently joining sellsword companies, but work was dry at the time and he figured that he could take advantage of the temporary membership. He worked well with the group members and got along with them, but he still took personal jobs on his own and never let himself become to emotionally attached to anyone.

 

The only time that he let his guard down was with a redhead lass named Bonnie. It was before he joined the Valo-Kas and he'd enjoyed her company for physical and emotional fulfillment. But she wanted to squire for some Bann Teagan in Rainesfare and become a knight and that led to a bittersweet departure. He kept tabs on her well-being from time to time, but largely distanced himself knowing what he was.

 

This changed at the Enclave.

 

It was meant to be a simple in-and-out job. Ebasit and a few other Valo-Kas members would guard some Chantry officials and then get their money and leave after all of the talking was over. Boring, but the prize offered by the Divine was huge. Ebasit even had a chance to talk with the old woman and she seemed like a friendly priestess. The conclave was meant to put an end to the bloody Mage-Templar War, but Ebasit didn't see any hope in trying. Justinia was adamant about trying and Ebasit couldn't fault her for that.

 

He also met a few other strangers like a Dalish Elf from Clan Lavellan named Thelran and his mage sister Sereva. Sereva was cute, but the glare from her brother told Adaar to kept hands off so he didn't bother trying his luck just yet. He also got along with a Dwarf Carta Warrior named Herka Cadesh who was at the Conclave to sell "merchandise". Then there were Henia and Zenard Trevelyan and Henia's naive and hopeful outlook almost made him throw-up. Zenard was quieter, but observant of the proceedings. They really thought that this Conclave would matter.

 

It did...just not in a way that anyone expected.

 

Ebasit was taking a casual stroll when he heard the Divine cry-out for help. He ran into Henia, Thelran, Sereva, Zenard and Herka who'd all heard the sound as well. The six of them then stumbled upon the Divine being held into the air surrounded by Grey Wardens and some kind of horrific metal, flesh monster magister staring down at them. The magister told his men to slay the qunari which Ebasit protested, but that was irrelevant. Zenard and Thelran attempted to reach the Divine, but Thelran took an arrow through the knee and a sword through his gut while Zenard's head was crushed by the power of a Warden Blood mage. Sereva and Henia froze in shock and grief at the sight of their brother's horrific deaths while Herka tried to retreat, but she was held in place and drained of her blood by the magister.

 

Ebasit used the distraction of his companions deaths and struggles to make his way to the magister's flank and shot it in the face. His arrow deflected off of an unseen barrier and told the qunari that he'd made a terrible mistake. But before the magister could act, Justinia broke out of her restraints and knocked a glowing orb from his hand which distracted the magister. All combatants froze when they saw the orb roll on the floor and in a moment of stupid curiosity, Adaar actually grabbed the glowing red and green orb.

 

Then there was a huge explosion of light and Adaar realized that he was in a strange wasteland being chased by spiders. He spotted the unconscious dalish and human women nearby and picked them just so that they'd owe him later. A choice he regretted when he spotted that the spiders were being ridden by monsters very similar to the tal-vashoth that once enslaved him and bearing grey horns like his first mercenary company.

 

He ran up a set of stairs and grabbed the hand of a glowing woman and then the scene turned to light again...

 

When he awoke, he awoke to that dalish girl sobbing with Trevelyan comforting her and telling her sweet nothings. But what really drew Adaar's attention was the glowing mark on his hand. At this point, he didn't completely remember how he got the mark or where he was or why he was in irons. A confrontation with Seeker Cassandra and Spymaster Leliana later revealed that the Conclave was destroyed along with Temple of Sacred Ashes and there was a giant hole in the sky with demons pouring out in an apparent invasion.

 

Ebasit tried to go the opposite direction.

 

But he was soon informed that the Breach's spread was connected to the mark on his hand and that the Breach's slow spread was slowly killing him. He growled in protest, yet knew that he'd have to get involved if only for his own life. So, he joined, Henia, Sereva and Cassandra in trying to close the Breach. Along the way, they met a dwarf named Varric, an elf hedge mage named Solas, fought more demons than Ebasit had ever been comfortable with and discovered that Adaar's mark could close rifts in the veil.

 

Reaching the Breach led to a tooth and nail encounter with a Pride Demon, but the Breach was "stablized" and kept from spreading any further. Adaar woke up again in Haven to learn that everyone regarded him as a savior sent from their god named the Maker. Henia wasn't thrilled with the idea of a qunari being "Andraste's Chosen One" and Sereva didn't care about human religions considering her grief. Adaar decided not to glower in this new-found fame, but he didn't stop others from calling him what they wanted. He was reluctant about joining the Inquisition, but figured that he had an opportunity that he'd never have as a mere mercenary.

 

A chance for true power.

 

The Grey Elk didn't bother lying to himself. He was a rogue and rogues were by nature opportunists. The Chantry had lost it's leadership during the worst crisis in it's history and there was a giant hole in the sky which only he had the power to stop. People worshiped him as a holy figure and a strong organization was inviting him to become one of it's leading figures?

 

How could he not take advantage of this chance?

 

To be Continued...

[TEWR]

Following Nasir's dismantling of the Envy Demon's plot to corrupt the Templars that had gathered at Therinfal -- of which though they were substantial in quantity, were not all or even the majority of Templars in Thedas -- Corypheus saw that he could make this defeat work to his advantage. He had placed too much faith in the Envy Demon to carry out its orders without getting too ahead of itself, a mistake he would not repeat.

 

So he saw fit to summon about two dozen Envy Demons through the Veil and bind them to his will, so that they could not do anything he did not wish of them. He then instructed them to go out into the countryside and find people of import and take on those roles. Generals, politicians, well-to-do merchants, ship captains... it didn't matter. All of them would play a role in the rebirth of the Imperium.

 

And so they went, masking themselves as commoners to begin with so they might draw close to people without suspicion, and now there are many people within Orlais and Ferelden that are not truly people, and are causing havoc while covertly helping Corypheus -- unable to truly use their Envy to their desires to go for someone new.

 

Further, Corypheus took the Red Templars he had gained from Kirkwall and had Samson correspond with agents throughout Thedas to see how their efforts fared. They had failed to take control of Therinfal, but there were Templars being taken from Tevinter, Nevarra, the Anderfels, Antiva, Rivain.... every nation had Templars that were being turned to Corypheus' will.

 

Indeed, Rivain was perhaps the one most affected, for the Templars there were thrilled to go to war against the Mages, having slaughtered the Dairsmuid Circle so readily. Knight-Commander Daleth led his Templars to a long abandoned Tevinter fortress, promising his men and women power enough to fight the "ungrateful apostates and maleficarum" -- as you might suspect, this power was Red Lyrium. 

 

In the end, Corypheus' Red Templar army numbered perhaps 15,000 - 20,000 minimum -- taken from all corners of Thedas (maybe more if I feel the need to expand).

 

Similarly, plans were made to take control of the Rebel Mages scattered throughout Thedas. Venatori agents infiltrated numerous cells of refugee Mages and promised to give them safe shelter with their own allies, and many took the offer upon seeing Templar flags in the distance (in actuality Red Templar flags, but this was all part of the ruse). 

 

Under Calpernia, the elderly and the children that these numerous Mages brought with them were to be granted complete safety within the ranks of the Venatori. They were not to be used for ritualistic sacrifice and more importantly were not pressed to fight either. Corypheus saw no problem with this arrangement, for after the Venatori also took control of the remaining Mages in the Circles of Markham and Perendale the Venatori Mages were numbering roughly 5,000 -- this is not counting the original members hailing from Tevinter.

 

And of course you have to factor in the soldiers from Tevinter who joined up, desperate to see the war with the Qunari end. Desperate to return home to their wives, their children, their friends. They want the Imperium to not live solely off of war anymore, but to be where culture flourishes and there is peace again. A longing for the glory days of the Imperium so that the world will be better off.

 

This isn't even addressing the Wardens that Corypheus took control of, or the Darkspawn he's using as a guerrilla army, having them ransack villages and towns in a seemingly disjointed effort. This way, to the eyes of the unknowing the Darkspawn are raiding more and more, but have nothing behind them.

Also, as my posts tend to be sporadic in nature I'll be adjusting my OP to include any and all headcanon posts I make so that they're better assembled (and if I ever feel ambitious, can review to make sure they don't conflict with each other).

[ThePhoenixKing]

Immediately following her expedition to the Deep Roads, Marian Hawke soon found herself drawn into a conflict with the Hero of Ferelden, Sagramor Tabris. The two had met during the Fifth Blight, first at Ostagar, and then at the Third Battle of Lothering, when the village was attacked by the bandit warband of Bloch the Skinner, and had quickly come to value each other highly.. That mutual respect was put to the test when the Warden came to Kirkwall to execute Anders for the crime of desertion under fire. The former Warden had actually abandoned the Order during the Mother's attack on the Vigil, deserting the defenders during the chaos of the battle, and numerous soldiers had perished as a result of his absence. Blaming himself for recruiting Anders in the first place and angry over that broken trust, the Warden tried to bring him to justice, only to be opposed by Hawke, who (while detesting Anders for abandoning his comrades to the darkspawn) was indebted to him for saving Bethany's life by bringing her to Stroud. During this confrontation, known as "The Night of the Wolf", these two heroes went head-to-head over the issue of Anders, even as neither wished to kill the other for the sake of such a wretch.

Ok sure, this sounds like fun...but a warning in advance this will be a LONG read

Hero of Ferelden (Faren Brosca)
After the blight, Faren finally had a place he belonged in the world, acceptance from every corner of ferelden and even in orzammar, but he felt more lost than ever before. He destroyed his friendship with his best friend in order to save the life of a traitor and made him marry a woman he didn't love for a position he never wanted. The friends he had formed during his adventures were all scattering to the wind, save Zev and his trusty Mabari Leske (If only the real Leske were as loyal), and most of all the woman he loved had revealed that she was using him and then abandoned him before the battle when he refused to give her what she wanted. He had decided to return to the grey warden fold with Zevran deciding to follow along, and spent the next few months in a miserable stupor of violence, alcohol, and brothels to dull the pain, but he never took off the ring morrigan gave him. This only worsened after Zevran left to go on his crusade against the crows, while the dwarf wished him well on his adventures he would miss his friend greatly. However after his first and last visit to his family in Orzammar, he and his mother had an extremely rare civil conversation where she compared his relationship to morrigan and hers with his father and persuaded him to give up the bottle before he became just like her and proved her right about him all along. Ever one to spite Kalah he did stop drinking and visiting brothels, and tried to figure out just what he was going to do with himself now...and then he was sent to vigils keep.

Faren had taken surprisingly well to his new title as warden commander, while he and Loghain may have had their differences he did form a strange bond with the old soldier during their travels, learning quite a bit about how to be a general and how to approach your soldiers. He managed to save Amaranthine city and Vigils keep survived the siege thanks to the upgrades. When the Architect presented his plan, just like with the Dark Ritual he wasn't willing to take the risk and chose to kill the architect much to Velannas horror. He agonized over this decision for years to come and wondered if he made the right decision or condemed the world to more blights for nothing. He befriended the mage Anders and the rogue Nathaniel, and he took to Sigrun incredibly fast considering their shared background. Oghren was a welcome sight for Faren until he realized that he was a father and husband who abandoned his family...which reminded him far too much of what his father did to him. It didn't help that the baby was apparently named after him and had the same red hair that Faren and Oghren did. They bonded over their mixed feelings regarding branka and morrigan respectively, and Faren helped make sure that Oghren was at least somewhat a part of his child's life. He and Justice never really were able to understand one another but formed a bond nonetheless, but he and Velanna were never able to become friends, as her appearance to Morrigan and abrasive personality rubbed him the wrong way at first but it was his choice with the Architect that destroyed whatever connection the two had.

After the events of Awakening, He continued to rule Amaranthine to the best of his ability and help Oghren with his letters to his family until his scouts had reported a sighting of a dark haired sorceress in the Korcari Wilds, but he was trying to force himself to move on with his life and planned to ignore this. However, that all changed when he discovered that morrigan wasn't alone, and that she was traveling with a little boy. The description of his age matched up with the last time he slept with morrigan, and he was reminded of his own family back in Orzammar, and how his father walked out on him and his family when he was young. He remembered how angry he was and decided to find out if this child was his and wing it from there. After finding morrigan and confirmed his child's paternity, he decided to try and work things out with morrigan, mostly because he wanted to be with his child but also partly because he still loved her despite himself.

They worked through their issues and managed to form a surprisingly effective parental duo, and for the first time in a long time Faren was happy. However this happiness was darkened by the reminder of the taint inside him, and how he would be lucky to see his son become an adult himself. He remembered Avernus and the stories of Grand Enchanter Fiona, who both managed to push back or eliminate their callings and resolved to do the same. After a tearful goodbye with his family Faren went off to parts unknown and nothing would stop him from returning home to his family free of the taint, and saving his old friend Alistair from the same fate.

The Champion of Kirkwall (Marian Hawke)
It seemed like the maker just hated Marian; she was born with magic and forced to run her entire life, lost her father to sickness, her beloved little sister to an ogre, her brother to the templars and her mother to a psychopathic blood mage. And then, because that wasn't enough, marian lost anders to vengeance, and she was the one who had to put her terrorist of a lover down, or watch him descend further and further into madness. If she was being honest with herself, she could understand where he was coming from, having lived her life on the run from the templars...but nothing justified what he did and she ended his life...how much more was she expected to lose? How many jokes and snarky comments can she make before it all finally becomes too much? Even in the end she was right back to where she began, running from her home...only this time her brother didn't follow her. "Ser" Carver stood up for her in the end and fought to protect her, but they were never able to reconcile fully and she doubted he would welcome her home. But she still had her friends, at least for a time.

Eventually The group drifted apart, the first ones to go was Aveline and Donnic, deciding to return to Kirkwall try and rebuild their life. Aveline was her oldest friend and like a sister to her, seeing her go was hard. Merrill resolved to protect the mages and decided to leave with them to do this, if Aveline was her older sister Merrill was like her little one, but she understood. The next one to go was Sebastian, who had resolved to take his crown back. He asked the group to join him on his mission, but Hawke joked that she would only get his chantry blown up and his dog kicked for good measure. It surprised her that Fenris and Isabela stayed with her as long as they did, as they were described by the party as rivals, but when Isabela parted with her it was with a hug and an open invitation to join her crew. Varric chose to return to Kirkwall as well to help fix his home and watch his brother, and his loss hit her the hardest as Varric was the person she was closest to out of everyone, viewing him as a brother.

She decided to join Fenris in hunting down tevinter slavers and freeing their captives, wanting to do something unambiguously good, and over the years they formed a strange team, the glowing elf that rambled on about mages being untrustworthy and the force mage/spirit healer who never took anything seriously and mocked templars just as hard. They were vigilantes, like something out of a storybook, which also had the benefit of keeping her traveling and out of sight of the templars who wanted her head. She was helping people and even beginning to move on from Anders...She was starting to like herself again, and feeling like maybe her luck was starting to turn around. But of course she just had to jinx it, didn't she?

She kept recieving letters from Varric about this inquisition he joined, and eventually learned of Corypheus and his survival, and his attack on both the peace summit and the inquisition itself. Just like that she was right back to where she started years ago during Kirkwall, only this time there was no anders to blame but only herself and Larius. Just thinking about the Grey Wardens and what they almost did to her mother and father sickened her, she lost respect for the order many years ago. She decided to finally right the mistake she had made and managed to gain contact with the only active warden she knew, Stroud from the qunari invasion. She relayed the information to him and learned that he was investigating the very same thing as the wardens were acting strangely and now he was on the run. With this in mind she asked aveline to take carver out of kirkwall for a while to protect him the best she could and made the choice to join the Inquisition and help defeat Corypheus any way she can. She tried to convince Fenris to stay behind, but he refused to abandon her. She left the next morning while he was still sleeping, with a note apologizing for leaving and telling him that if she didn't return to live well and be happy.

When she helped assault Adamant she never expected to fight this many demons, but she was going to save as many people as she could from the wardens foolishness, but then she entered the fade with the inquisitor, stroud, varric, and two of the other inquisitors companions; a bald elf who was extremely excited to be trapped in this nightmare and a very hairy warden. The demon knew where to hit her, reminding her of her failings and the deaths of her loved ones, but she persisted through. After the inquisitor, stroud, and herself were trapped by the giant spider thing, she realized that someone would have to hold it off so the others could make it. She didn't want to admit it....but the demon was right; she was so tired, tired of death, of betrayal, of loss, of failing and simply wanted to do something right for once. She volunteered to stay behind but stroud, as noble as ever, argued that he was the one who should stay behind. Corypheus was her fault and that she would correct this mistake the only way she knew how, and apparently her arugments won over the inquisitor...funny that the one time someone listened to her was when she was volunteering for a suicide mission. She asked the inquisitor to say goodbye to varric for her and charged the spider, making a joke about it of course. It was better this way, despite how she felt about the wardens stroud could help them become something more, a good man like him could make them what they were supposed to be. And Fenris...she hoped he would find someone who could give him what he needed, but that woman just wasn't her. Her last thoughts before everything went black were of a young girl watching her brother pull his sisters hair while their mother was admonishing him and their father making a sarcastic quip as he usually did...while another boy she only recognized by the feathers on his shoulders was smiling at her. If fate was kind, that was what awaited her.


Ill post about my inquisitor later on this week, but I also want to add in that this is from the characters emotional perspective, not necessarily factual such as hawke completely blaming herself for corypheus.

Inquisitor Ebasit Adaar 2/4

 

The now powerless Chantry leaders were running around like headless chickens...

 

Various mage and templar armies and groups had resumed hostilities from Nevarra all the way to the Hinterlands of Ferelden...

 

The Grey Wardens of Ferelden were keeping to themselves even more than usual in Soldier's Peak and Vigil's Keep...

 

The Wardens of Orlais had mysteriously vanished and there were reports of Warden bodies being found in shallow graves...

 

Orlais was in the midst of a Civil War between Empress Celene and her cousin Gaspard de Chalons...

 

And as icing on the cake, Tevinter mages had convinced the Rebel mages in Redcliffe to sell themselves into practical slavery...

 

There was also the giant hole in the Sky that was creating smaller holes and all of the holes were the portals for an invasion of demons, spirits and whatever else dwells in the Fade. But most folk didn't seem to be paying attention to the Breach or the demons coming out of the rifts made by the Breach.

 

And the Inquisition saw Ebasit Adaar as some kind of Divinely-ordained savior meant to solve all of these problems.

 

Adaar loved a challenge, but even he had to admit that this set-up was ridiculous.

 

It didn't help that the Inquisition was somewhat lacking in organization and having a base of power. The "army" was made up of mages, templars, seekers, mercenaries, green swords, sellswords, zealots and many of them were just as likely to cut each other as they were the enemy. With the Chantry declaring the Inquisition as a heretical order, gaining patronage was going to be tough even with the connections of some key members or key ambassador Montilyet. Equipment, food, and other supplies were in good amount for the time being, but it wouldn't be enough if the organization was going to expand beyond the humble town of Haven.

 

The key leaders and lieutenants of this Inquisition were all decent at their jobs, Adaar wasn't going to argue with that:

 

Cassandra was a tough and assertive commander and strong with a sword and shield;

 

Cullen knew what he was doing with training and organizing the troops and keeping them from killing each other;

 

Sera was funny in an odd way that Adaar had given up on trying to understand;

 

Vivienne was pretentious, but formidable and reliable all the same;

 

Leliana was both sweet and hard, Ebasit never knew quite how to place the woman;

 

Varric and Adaar understood each other well as fellow rogues and the dwarf even made up a story for each of the drawings that Ebasit showed him;

 

Josephine was charming and diplomatic as well strikingly beautiful, but a bit on the naive side;

 

Blackwall never knew when to shut up about how great the Grey Wardens were or about duty and honor, but he was a good captain and strong warrior;

 

and Solas was a mysterious hedge mage that knew a lot about the Fade though Adaar didn't quite trust him.

 

Solas always seemed to know more than he told...

 

Henia Trevalyan was still naive, but grief had at least shaped her into something more bearable. She still butt heads with Adaar as she was more of a "moral" individual than the pragmatic vashoth. While in the Hinterlands, she was the one who led most of the "charity work" for the refugees though Adaar pitched in if it meant he'd gain a good ally for the Inquisition such as a sect of mages or a herdsman with his own farm. Ebasit wasn't sure about how she could use those two swords of hers, but assumed that they had been enchanted by the so-called "white mage". Evidently, Henia was something called an Arcane Warrior which allowed her to use her magic to augment her martial abilities and toughness. Helpful for a fight, but Ebasit was still cautiously wary of the woman.

 

Sereva was another matter altogether. She tended to stick around Solas more as she did not appear to trust humans or the Chantry in general. She'd even privately come to talk to Adaar about elf related matters or ask about the mark on his hand, but during business, she kept to herself. Still, she did make use of her connections with the Dalish clans in Orlais and Ferelden to send what supplies and volunteers that they could. Ebasit doubted that the dalish would exhaust themselves to help human villages, but at least a few dozen healers and warriors did arrive in Haven, so Sereva's word apparently meant something.

 

Lastly, Iron Bull was a Qunari Hissrad that Ebasit had encountered a few times in the Free Marches. Possibly the only Qunari that Ebasit wouldn't think of killing on sight by virtue of respect. Plus, Iron Bull didn't try to rub his lifestyle into anyone's face or kill someone over it, but he didn't apologize for his beliefs either. Adaar respected that about the large Qunari even if the revelation that he was a Ben-Hassrath agent didn't sit well with Ebasit. An alliance with the Qunari had benefits certainly, but considering that they want to invade all of Thedas eventually, what's to say that an alliance with the Inquisition wasn't just a stepping stone?

 

However, the Grey Elk chose to make the best of what he had. Which even included sitting through the meetings with the Inquisition "Advisors" to come up with a course of action. They meant well, but tended to debate in circles and someone more forceful was left to stir the discussion towards a decision.

 

This was more obvious after the visit to the Orlesian Capital when there was a debate concerning which group to recruit, Mages or Templars. Cullen and Henia advised trying to make an alliance with the templars now housed at Therinfel Redoubt; Cassandra and Leliana wished to speak with the mages at Redcliffe; and Sereva and Josephine weren't particular for either side. Which left Adaar to break the stalemate even though he didn't trust either orders by principle. However, he declared that perhaps overtures could made to both groups and if possible, both orders should be called upon.

 

The council was divided by Adaar's proposal due to the odds of being able to recruit both orders and the resultant tension that would be created by bringing many mages and templars together considering the war. Josephine actually supported Ebasit's measure to his surprise, arguing that dealing with the war was inevitable and that forcing both sides into a position of compromise for Thedas' greater good would prove the Inquisition's strength. In addition, there many devout Andrastians among both groups and if they could be persuaded to put down their differences and work together by the word of the Herald of Andraste.

 

Cullen was certain that a violent confrontation was inevitable due to already present tensions between the mages and templars in the Inquisition's ranks; Cassandra believed that the idea was worth attempting though had her doubts about it's success; Leliana recalled that both orders worked together during the Fifth Blight and that they could be made to do the same here; Sereva didn't trust either faction, but believed that trying for the best option would at least ensure that one of the orders was recruited; and Henia objected to the plan due to distrust of the templar order.

 

For this mission, the Inquisition's captains and commanders divided for the job. Adaar led Blackwall, Cassandra, Varric and Vivienne to Therinfel Redoubt to discuss matters with the templars while Henia led Iron Bull, Sera, Sereva and Solas to meet with a Tevinter mage named Dorian to try and recruit the mages. As a mage herself, Henia would be more trusted by the mage faction while removing her from the situation where she'd likely ****** off the templars and alienate them from allying with the Inquisiton.

 

While Adaar didn't personally like Vivienne, he respected her abilities and knew that she would be less likely to anger the templar faction due to her position as leader of the Loyalist mages. Cassandra was well-known among templars and seekers which Ebasit guessed would help when speaking with the teamplers. Grey Wardens were nearly universally respected in Thedas after the Fifth Blight, especially in Ferelden where the Hero of Ferelden reigned as King which meant Blackwall's presence could only help the Inquisition's chances. Varric was small which meant he'd be easy to overlook and could serve as a scout and observer in case things went south during negotiations.

 

As it turned out, the entire party at Therinfel was a trap. A trap originally meant to corrupt or kill any templar that hadn't taken a substance called Red Lyrium, but it was adjusted to try and ensnare the Herald. Fighting broke out between red templars and their uncorrupted counterparts while Adaar and company confronted the Envy Demon that had impersonated the Lord Seeker. With the help of a strange fellow named Cole, they slew the demon and the red templars were either slain or forced into retreat. Ser. Barris then took command of the templars and accepted being conscripted into the Inquisition's ranks.

 

On the way back to Haven, Ebasit stopped through the Hinterlands and discovered a large battalion of royal troops led by Arl Teagan and the Queen of Ferelden herself, Anora Mac Tir Cousland. Anora wished to meet with the Herald and at that meeting, Adaar learned that Henia had succeeded in stopping the Venatori magister Alexius from carrying out a time travel plot and had allied with the mage faction that Anora had ousted from Redcliffe. Upon learning that Adaar had just gained the command of the Therinfel templars and the fortress as well, Anora warned that other templar groups may seek out the Inquisition as enemies particularly the red templar sects. Anora also gave an offer for Ferelden to officially endorse and ally with the Inquisition in gratitude for the Inquisition's actions at Redcliffe and Therinfel. Ebasit agreed though Varric suggested returning to Haven as quickly as possible.

 

After dealing with personal business concerning being entrusted with his bastard son, Ebasit returned to the mountains to find that the mage and templar factions were about to restart the war right at the Inquisiton HQ. Cassandra, Henia, Cullen and Sereva were doing their best to hold off the two sides, but something appeared to be ready to give.

 

Fed up mages, templars and their blood feuds, Adaar stomped into the middle of the two crowds and held up his marked hand. As if responding to his desire, the mark flared with powerful green energy that caught the crowds attention before the Herald spoke. He turned the two groups towards the Breach and bluntly asked them if their strife truly mattered in the face of such destruction. He recruited the two groups to save Thedas and seal that breach, but if they were so self-conceited and narrow-minded that they'd rather kill each other, Adaar invited them to just leave. He invited them to depart and let Thedas see you for what you were. A useless self-important cult that would sooner burn the world or leave it to die than to put your own petty feuds aside to do one job.

 

Some mages and templars did get offended and just left. Many among those who remained grumbled, but the crowds dispersed back to their quarters with Adaar relieved that his stunt actually worked.

 

At the War Council, it was agreed that the mage and templar factions would be housed at a safe distance from each other for the time being. Additionally, Cullen was given supervision of the templar recruits while Henia was appointed as arcmage of the mages. (Fiona appeared to be an idiot from Henia's account) Things appeared to be improving for the Inquisition and now all that was left was to close the hole in the sky by having the templars suppress the breach's magic and the mage's to charge Adaar's mark.

 

It worked.

 

At the party celebrating the closing of the Breach, Adaar was concerned that this victory was too easy. A fear confirmed when the Breach opened back up from inside of the Fade and rained down debris filled with demons. Worst yet, a dying scout warned that an army of red templars and venatori were heading towards Haven led by the leader known as the "Elder One".

 

Multiple desperate battles were fought against demon, magister, soldier, red templar and more. But despite causing an avalanche, more were coming and Cullen warned that the Inquisition was screwed. It was decided that the only chance was to bury Haven so that the enemy would be cut-off and the Inquisition could safely retreat. Adaar intended to not be the last to leave, but his stupid son had to try to be a hero and by the time the lad was given to Josephine for safe-keeping, Adaar learned that the team meant to set-off the catapult were all killed.

 

Ebasit hated his luck sometimes.

 

Especially since this led to a direct confrontation with the Elder One himself and his giant Archdemon dragon-mount. Fortunately, the Elder One loved to give grandiose speeches and Ebasit used the time given by said-speeches to set-off the catapult. Surviving by the skin of his teeth, Adaar wondered through the caverns and snow plains of the mountains for days before Sereva and Sera found him and nursed him back to health. In shambles, the Inquisition would have destroyed itself if not for Mother Giselle's singing which led to a group song that everyone apparently knew.

 

Ebasit found the scene to be odd, but he went with it if it helped.

 

Afterwards, Solas revealed that Adaar's mark was elven in origin in addition to the orb that the Elder One called Corypheus used. He also happened to know of a place where the Inquisition could rebuild called Skyhold.

 

Ebasit's suspicions on the hedge mage did not abate.

 

At Skyhold, the organization rebuilt and reorganized. Ebasit Adaar was named as the Inquisitor and leader of the Inquisition which the council agreed he'd been acting as from the start. Adaar didn't waste too much time with ceremony as the Council adjourned a few days after settling the fortress.

 

The good news was that the Inquisition mages and templars were far less antagonistic towards each other; Anora made good on her promise of support through a healthy host of volunteers carrying supplies, weapons, armor, food and other essential materials; and Sereva's elven connections were spreading to include Alienages and dalish clans across Orlais and Ferelden which all meant that the Inquisition was bound to quickly rebuild what was lost at Haven.

 

However, there were still plenty of problems. The real Lucius Corin was yet to be found which left the status of the Seeker Order in doubt. The Chantry leaders still considered the Inquisition to be a Heretical Order. Henia reported what she had learned from the "future" and that Corypheus was building a demonic army and that there was a plot to assassinate the empress of Orlais. Which compounded upon the problems of the Grey Warden disappearance and the still present and now un- stalled Breach which was spreading and likely would require more power to seal on both sides.

 

In short, the Inquisition had a lot work to do.

 

To be continued....

[ShadowLordXII]

Taking a que from TEWR for expanding the headcannon world and important details.

 

The Elder One and his tools

 

Calling himself the Elder One, Corypheus' could have accomplished his plans at the Temple of Sacred Ashes, but he was thwarted by an unknowing rival. The creation of the Breach destroyed all in that area including Corypheus' body. But he survived by transferring his essence into a nearby Grey Warden under his control and molting out of the dwarf's body. Corypheus then used the chaos of the Templar destruction's aftermath to escape unnoticed, keeping himself hidden until Haven...

 

Despite the thwarted plots at Therinfel and Redcliffe, the Elder One's forces remained substantially strong.

 

The templars brought to Therinfel were mostly from Ferelden, Orlais and Nevarra which meant that an opportunity to expand the ranks of the Red Templars was lost. But Samson had made a deep-rooted power base in Kirkwall that soon spread to the rest of the Free Marches as more templars were seduced to take red lyrium and even ordinary men and women strong enough to survive the substance's effects were recruited and trained.

 

Rivain to be a good recruitment ground since Rivain's templars were already bloodied by Annulling the Circle at Dairsmuid and then scattered by Lambert's break-off from the Chantry. This left many groups and platoons scattered after the Knight-Commander was found slain by a steel sword. In truth, the Venatori were responsible, but the seeds of doubt broke apart the templars. Any templar that could not be recruited (willingly or by force) was sent into flight or slain outright with their body (still rich with lyrium in the bloodstream) was used to grow more red lyrium.

 

Unlike in the rest of Thedas, templars in Tevinter were merely glorified guards of the magistrate. A seed of resentment which the red templars took advantage of, drawing hundreds of Tevinter templars into their ranks under the belief that they would be able to truly make a difference in the world against the dangers of magic. But by the time that the truth became clear, it was too late for many of the templars.

 

The Venatori drew most of it's numbers from Tevinter and Orlais where many wanted a chance to have power or to expand the power that they had. Some survivors from the Kirkwall and Dairsmund Circles found their way into the Venatori as a chance to create equality for mages and/or outright revenge against the Chantry.

 

Calpernia's background also allowed her to purchase and/or liberate many slaves into the faction's numbers under the promise of creating a new world once the Elder One ascended. A former slave herself, Corypheus was content to see Calpernia prove herself as a worthy pawn. But he was careful to keep the secret of his true intentions for the woman from his general or she would turn upon him.

 

Antiva and the Anderfels provided little in terms of manpower for the Red Templars and Venatori. The templars and mages there had mostly remained loyal to the Chantry and were of such low numbers that the Elder One choose not to devote too many resources in the area.

 

As for the wardens...

 

Little known to the common folk was there there were two ranks of the wardens under the Elder One's control. The first and largest group were wardens being deceived by Erimond and mostly concentrated in Orlais. Corypheus did this for the intent of sacrificing the substantial warden population to bound the powerful warden-mages to his control along with the demonic army that they summoned with the blood of their sacrificed brothers.

 

Corypheus had hoped to ensnare the Grey Wardens of Ferelden as well with his False Calling. The Elder One knew of the Vigil's strength and the power that it could wield if the Wardens there served him. But the wardens refused to leave Amaranthine per the orders of their Lord-Commander despite Warden-Commander Clarel's demands. Corypheus was frustrated by this development, not only did it leave a thorn in his side, but destroying the Wardens would take too much strength.

 

For the moment.

 

The second group of grey wardens were those that Corypheus gifted with red lyrium. Seduced soon after Corypheus' escape from the Vinmark Mountains, these Wardens became bound directly to Corypheus and gained the power to manipulate those that had the taint (if their will was weak enough). Calling these Wardens, Black Wardens, Corypheus sent them on three vital tasks:

 

1) To enter the Deep Roads and take control of any encountered darkspawn to bring to the surface as an army. The darkspawn were mindless and weak, but their presence would demoralize Corypheus' enemies and in greater numbers act as a disposable force that could easily be renewed and replenished.

 

2) Infiltrate other Warden Branches and subdue their leaders to the Elder One's Call. If the Warden-Commander in-question proved to be too strong of will, they were to be killed.

 

3) To hunt down and capture/kill any Grey Warden from Orlais and Kirkwall who was a threat to Corypheus' plans for the Grey Wardens.

 

With the emergence of the Inquisition, Corypheus now had a new adversary to contend with. Despite his victory at Haven, the Inquisition still had several outposts in Ferelden before the battle and the organization was spreading quickly. The Elder One was still confident as his army had strong positions in the Western Desert and Dales of Orlais, in addition to his positions in the Free Marches, Nevarra and the Storm Coasts of Highever.

 

Once his plot to assassinate the Empress succeeded, Corypheus would subsume the scattered empire into his power and direct the people's grief towards Nevarra and Ferelden. The winner of the resultant wars did not matter. All that mattered was the weakening of the three kingdoms, a weakness that the Elder One's forces would exploit without mercy.

 

But in the event that the Inquisition did become a threat, Corypheus would need to destroy their heart. That would mean destroying their hidden capital and slaying the Inquisition's leadership. All that needed to be done for that end...was to find that capital.

 

Fortunately, a Warden Black Mage named Arthunas knew where to start looking...

[TEWR]

Heh, I don't get as much time to post here as I'd like. But I'm glad this thread isn't dead yet. I'll have to read your post when I get some time tomorrow Shadowlord.

[TEWR]

BUMP

 

People should ask me questions here. I get some questions on my tumblr from time to time and tag anything pertaining to my personal world-state as TEWR's DA 'Verse, but I'd welcome some questions here.

[Flameshield]

I've an idea I've been toying around with for my Inquisition Headcannon.

 

Absolom Trevelyan is a Master Storm Mage, for when he was still an apprentice his peers, jealous of the fact that he could visit his family, tortured him, rendering him unable to cast Ice or Fire Magic, and healers unable to heal him with Magic. If he doesn't discharge from time to time the lyrium in his blood turns to crystal, causing immense pain. However, upon gaining the Anchor, it causes him consent pain, even after he stabilized the Breach, as all magic sans Lightning hurts him greatly. His magic also gets stunted when he travels through Rifts, which he learned after conscripting the mages, and after burying Haven picks up Dual Wielding and learns to be an Artificer.

 

He is joined by Mare Adaar, a Vashoth mage who is self taught in magic, alchemy, and the blacksmith. She was part of the Valo-Kas Mercenary group that was hired to act as a third party to keep mages and Templars from fighting at the Conclave, but was not present at the temple. While she kept her magic hidden from the Inqusition for a while, especially after they hired on the Chargers, everyone soon learns she is the famous Knight-Enchanter Nightmare that has been picking up fame across Thedas. When first discovered, she flees, not wanting to be near Iron Bull, but later returns to the Inquisition while they are attacking the Grey Wardens at Adament. With her being a Knight-Enchanter, Vivenne is initial disgusted that a savage beast that is the "Qunari" mastered being a Knight, but later the two become comrades, and exchange knowledge in the art, and in Magic.

 

Eventually in my story (If i ever get the words out) Absolom romances Cassandra, and Mare romances Iron Bull, Chargers saved.

 

I've ideas for Origins, but not a decent story. It'll include the Dalish Elf, female named Adsila, as the Grey Warden, with Nocturna Cousland and the Human Mage, Amell (don't have a first name, don't wanna use Solona) Amell will eventually show in my Inquisition story to continue her romance with Cullen... I think it'd be neat anyway, that is if I can get the story figured out.

 

as for II, Hawke is a mage, her brother a Templar, she romances Fenris, and is Rivals with Merrill, resulting in the Clan's unfortunate death. She doesn't approve of Ander's actions, and kills him.

 

I've so many ideas, I just have a hard time putting them down.

[kal_reegar]

[GoldenGail3]

Angelica Cousland (warrior, sword and shields: Templar, Champion, Spirt Warrior), is a headstrong, and honest young woman that became the Hero of Ferelden after the Blight.

*Bhelen King. Cousland assumes Ozammar needs a strong King, with good policy over a week King that's overall nice, but has horrible policies. She may have not liked Bhelen, but he's what Ozammar needs overall in the long run.

*Destroyed the Anvil. Cousland thought it was a wicked thing that needs to be destroyed for the greater good of everyone in Ozammar.

* Made Peace Between Werewolves and Elves. She dislikes both sides, Zackrain for siting his but down and not doing anything about the bloody curse he himself made, and the Werewolves for attacking the elves that had no idea for there current status. She decided to make peace between them, so that nobody could complain otherwise.

* Saved Redcliffe, helped them with the undead. She assumed it was the best thing to do, to save innocent lives.

* Refused to make a deal with Jowan, went to the Circle for help: Blood Magic is a big no no In her mind, so going to the Circle was the best plan.

*Saved the Circle, refused Cullens plan: She dislikes harming innocent people that can be saved, plus she thought Cullen was just a poor guy that was shell shocked because of his friends horrible deaths in front of himself. She chose save the Mages.

* Refused All The Slavers deals: She doesn't like Slavery or slavers. She killed him becuase she thought that he was a digusing creature for giving her a deal to kill all elves to get her just a few bars of health. Out of digust, she told him nope. And then killed him.

*Killed Loghian, Became Queen of Ferelden: She hated Loghian for many things, so killing him felt just to her. She became Queen of Ferelden becuase she loved Alistair, and wanted to spend the last of her days with him.

* Took DA. Although she romanced Alistair, she had a wish to keep them both alive so she took the DA (although she wasn't happy about Morrigan sleeping with Alistair) to keep them both alive.


*Alexander Hawke (Mage, blood Mage, Spirt Healer) He is a Humourous guy. It's self explanatory.

* Sided with Mages. Well, he himself is a Mage, so he was pratically supporting himself.

*Killed Anders.

* Rivalmanced Isabela


* Anastasia Trevelyan: (Mage: Knight Enchanteress) She's a smart, well adjusted young woman from the Circle of Magi in Ostwick. She was once a Senior Enchanter, but then the Conclave happened? She took her role as The Herald of Andraste rather quickly, and with a sense of humour.

* Recruited all Companions. She needed all the help she could get! After all, a world crisis does need a lot of help to stop in general.

* Allied with Mages. She was once a Senior Enchanter, so of course she's go collect her dumb, unreliable kinsmen.

* Did the Regilous speech. She believes in the Maker, even though Andraste disliked mages and prophetized against them.... She has a bit of a beef with Andraste for doing that.

*Made All three Orlaisan Rulers play nice. She's a nice girl! She wanted everyone to get along nicely, plus she did need all the help she could possibly get.

*Alowed GW to stay around. The Queen of Ferelden ain't getting expelled on her watch!

*Did rituals for The Temple, Ancient Elves still live. She respects all customs, even though she herself isn't Dalish.

*Killed Cory with Religous speech.

*Romaced Cullen

YES GOOD GOOD

 

Let the creative juices flow through you.

[Carmen_Willow]

Angharad was an orphan peasant girl whose father was an Avaar farrier and whose mother was an Orlesian herbalist. Her parents came to Ferelden with an Orlesian Lord so that her father could care for his horses. When Maric defeated the Orlesians, Angharad's family stayed behind to protect a secret - their daughter was a mage. Because her powers began very young, her parents were able to suppress her magic much as one teaches a child to use the potty (thank you Stephen King). All signs of her magic were suppressed except for her ability to "see" both the future and lost things.

 

When her mother became ill, the family ended up at Arl Howe's seat, Vigil's Keep, caring for his horses. The night before he left to betray his overlord, he attacked Angharad with a knife because she had a vision of his doom, when her father defended her, Arl Howe murdered him.  Now an orphan, Delila Howe took pity on the young adolescent girl and kept her at the castle where she remained a servant. 

 

She met Nathaniel Howe first as a girl for about five minutes. He scolded her for playing with his new litter of Mabari puppies, afraid tha they would imprint on her. The next time she saw him, he was bleeding from a wound inflicted by Anders. She healed the wound, and he became aware of her gift of sight. And so on.....her story carries her to Denerim where she meets Rywick, the elven Hero of Ferelden who realizes that she has magic and brings it forth through an effective but cruel method. Her budding love affair with Nathaniel is stunted by this. Later to play an ancillary role in the Kirkwall rebellion (at the behest of Asha' bellanar), she and Nathaniel meet again....and the rest is my Headcanon History.

[kal_reegar]

I really hope that DA4 is set in northern Thedas, btw.

 

My southern Thedas is (almost) perfectly pacified... the situation is practically identical as it was in the year 9.29 D.A.

 

- a male Therin rules Ferelden

- empress Celene rules Orlais

- an Aeducan rules Orzammar

- a Vael rules Starheaven

- Kirkwall has a new viscout, with Hawke the Man at his side

- a powerful and conservative Divine (Vivienne) rules, with a new, powerful military order at her service (the inquisition incorporated the templars -> the inquisition was put in service of the Chantry)

- the mage ribellion ended, all the mage leader have been killed and the circles have been rebuilt

- Corypheus, Urthemiel and Architect are dead

-  the grey warden presence is never been stronger

 

please dont' mess with this again... leave the good southern people at peace!
