I did come up with a beautiful one for a possible Dalish Elf I may consider playing at some point and how she came to have a human name rather than an Elven one. The basic story was that she was adopted by humans when she was born and they cared for  and loved her as if she was human even though she was clearly an elf. 

Her human parents got killed unfortunately during the Fifth Blightbut she managed to escape and get to Kirkwall along with many other refugees she then travelled to Ostwick and found the Lavellan clan who after a lot of deliberation decided to welcome her into their fold and teach her elven ways. She quickly rose through the ranks to become one of the clans most trusted and she grew very close to the keeper who saw her almost as her daughter who she really cared for and trusted her implicitly despite the fact she had originally been raised by humans.

 

The rest of her story pick upm at the start of DAI. I was thinking the name Lara Lavellan but I might change that

The cancelled DLC was going to end with the revelation that the EM wasn't against Hawke's participation in the Chantry's destruction but for Varric's latest novel.

 
Yes that is one of the largest unanswered questions at this point, I think, and one I'm worried will never be answered. Unless they have a role with awakened darkspawn and Weisshaupt. Nathaniel seems like a writer's pet so I'd be surprised if it's the last we hear from him. But I'm afraid both Sigrun and Velanna will never be heard from again, since they weren't even mentioned in the Keep.



For me, I only headcanon small things since subsequent games usually negate anything larger. For instance, I headcanon that my Hawke sent a romanced Anders away after blowing up the Chantry due to his disgust and betrayal. Sebastian still left for Starkhaven vowing revenge. But Anders eventually found his way back to Hawke and they set out to find a way to remove Vengeance. Maybe after the events of JOH they go to the Avvar and are successful.

Same here really the background I've typed in my last post is the firs ttime I've tried anything as big as that. But I have to admit I've developed a liking for  that background so will likely use it next time I play an elf.

Cassandra and Varric finally work out their UST.

That's all I got.

 

Cassandra loved being included in Varric's book... right until the moment she found out that everyone had picked up on the UST between her and Varric and was horrified to learn half of Thedas were now convinced the two of them were engaged in a torrid love affair.

 

She's not sure whether she wants to hunt down and burn every copy of the book it, be sick, or kill Varric... or if she decides to go for broke and do all three, what order she should do them in?

Be sick, of course! Only... the sweat on her brow, that horrible clenching feeling in her stomach... she thought she was gassy or going to puke. It turns out she's in love.

The Dalish vallaslin is not only on the face, but a full body tattoo. I keep it simple with headcanons.

Oh, and Solas and Lavellan totally did it at the Winter Palace...in Celene's bed. May she rest in peace.

There's a sound of a little girl giggling in the alley when you turn in the painted box in DAO. Now I imagine it's Sera.

 

The borrowed longsword in the city elf origin is actually the same longsword Duncan uses... even if the graphic doesn't change. I delete it when I get to Ostagar and gimp myself (I steal Ser Garlan's sword anyways). Later, I get the real sword back in Return to Ostagar.

Only head cannons for me:

 

Main one: Human Male Warden x Morrigan romance : with ritual baby - follows her through the eluvian

 

Minor ones:

 

Warden is a berserker/reaver who drank Avernus's potion to become an unstoppable greatsword wielding warrior

 

Hawke is a male mage

Those aren't exactly headcanon... They can actually happen. So they're just your canon. I think the thread meant stuff where you filled in the blanks and imagined.

 

Err.. or so I thought.

I headcanon Morrigan having stolen Lady Eleonor Couslands mirror during one of the Lady's travels through the Corcari Wilds. Years later, Eleonor's son gives Morrigan a fine gift - a replica of the same mirror.

I also ship Morriganders, don't hate me. Seems like they would get along quite well. Mage rights, freedom and apostates things. Plus, she is fascinated by the darkness surrounding the Grey Wardens and their endurance *cough*... to win him over, she shapeshifts into a cute little kitty

Also, she is Alistair's older sister (aka King Arthur's legend). We don't know exactly what Flemeth and Maric did in that old shack when they met.

I have a cute headcanon that it is Cole who helps Blackwall reunite with Josephine after Trespasser when he feels their pain.

Storvacker cannot sleep quietly without the Inquisitor hugging her as a huge teddy bear. Moreover she follows her Inquisitor into battles and they send Cory into the Fade together.

Meredith's statue comes to life as the slave statues im the Gallows did due to Red Lyrium smuggling in Kirkwall and its proximity to the Black Emporium. She tries to hunt down Hawke, Cullen and Varric, but is stopped by the mighty Enchantment by Sandal.

O.o Oh no. That would mean incest would be used when they have the DA. What a disturbing thought...

[Sifr]

Morrigan actually encountered Hawke briefly when she briefly visited Lothering, a year or so before the events of Origins.

 

Despite finding Hawke surprisingly easy and pleasant to talk to (especially compared to most people she tended to encounter), Morrigan ended up slipping back to the Wilds before Hawke was able to learn her name. This mostly was due to Carver's interference ruining their conversation, after he took his sibling speaking to someone outside their family as a cue to add his regular charming self to the mix.

[SgtSteel91]

Headcanon is something I do sparingly. Nothing too farfetched or that tries to change anything important.

I like to think that the mabari dog is travelling with the HoF in his quest to cure the Taint. That even after the years spent with Morrigan in the eluvian crossroads, they still met again.

 

I have a similar one, except the Dog went through the Eluvian with them 

 

Other Headcanons I have:

• My Warden was a Cousland, the family sword was broken during Howe's massacre but later reforged into Starfang
• Avernus modified the Joining Ritual to reduce the fatality rate, and as a result Mhairi survived it.
  • The modified Joining also gives the Awakening Companions and further Fereldan Wardens the Power of Blood talents
• Velanna became The Warden's liaison to the Architect. As far as the Wardens in Weisshaupt know, she disappeared into the Deep Roads looking for her sister.
• The Warden and Loghain joined Alistair in his quest to find his father
  • Alistair and the Warden reconciled at the end
  • On the quest The Warden finds the lead that sends them West
  • Loghain learns about Corypheus; the Dragon Cult that held Maric was a faction of the Venatori who broke off
• The reason Leliana can't find any of the Fereldan Wardens is because they all joined The Warden in their quest to cure the Calling.
• The Southern Wardens break off from the Wardens in Weisshaupt and form their own Order. They name The Warden their First Warden after they come back from the West.
• The Inquisitor, with Dagna's help and unknown to their inner circle...
  • Constructs Blue Lyrium armor similar to Samson's Red Lyrium armor and repeatable crossbows reversed engineered from the Revered Defender Bolter's weapons fought in The Descent. 
  • They are used to utterly crush the Qunari at the Daravved and the Dread Wolf's shrine
• The Inquisition becomes Divine Leliana's Peacekeeping Force and the rebellion that springs up to oppose her is rumored to be brought down by them regardless if Leliana is Hardened or not

I headcanon that:

Mage Hawke learned Blood Magic from Torpor (this was his reward for helping him).
He is not identified as a Mage by the Templar authorities 'cause he disguises as a TH Warrior, using his bladed staff as a spear often.
Nobody notices Garrett is a Blood Mage because nobody knows as he never uses those spells in public nor in front of his companions.
As he helped the Templars deal with the Orsino/Meredith/Blood Mage threat, he is pardoned and named Viscount.

I think my Hawke would've hit on Morrigan to be beaten up by my Warden, lol.

Exactly, Arthur and Morgana have a son too (Mordred).

No. Cause that'd would... Be really cringeworthy

[kimgoold]

I've had a few that I've seen and liked, but the one that immediately springs to mind (despite the fact that yes, I realize it's since been explicitly contradicted) is the idea that Mahariel and Tabris are half-siblings by way of their mutually absent mother.  It's pretty pointless, especially since at least one of them is definitely dead in canon no matter what, but there's just something about it that I like.

 

Mine was that Surana was related to either Tabris or Mahariel especially considering she or he doesn't remember their family or where they come from. This is an option when Surana talks to another elven apprentice in the tower. And that an elven mage child would be forcibly taken from its parents, perhaps these parents killed by overzealous templars who wouldn't be held accountable for killing a dalish on her own. Not very likely but it could happen.

[Nixou]

The reason that Oghren, Sigrun, Nathaniel and Velanna aren't in DAI even if they're all still alive is that they're traveling with the Hero of Ferelden or the Orlesian Warden on the quest to find the cure. (I mean, I don't know about your Wardens, but my 'canon' archer rogue definitely needed a party with her to operate effectively.)

 

Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if this particular hypothesis ends up confirmed once things become Wardenny again.

I headcanon that my Warden and Anders were very close friends. He gave my Warden his earring as a gift. That was my headcanon and then in DA2 I noticed that Anders actually no longer had that earring. 

 

I headcanoned that my worldstate's Warden was deeply involved in Anders' underground railway: all those mages fleeing the Free Marches had to go somewhere safe, and Amaranthine was a perfect haven: it was ruled by a former Circle Mage who Anders and Justice trusted, the last Templars who had tried to capture a mage had ended lacking their heads.

 

Plus it fits elegantly with the rebel Mages fleeing to Ferelden: by the time the Mage-Templar wars started, Ferelden would already have had well established reputation as a safe haven for mages.

 

I also imagined that part of Anders fall into murderous madness was due to his interaction with the Warden Commander: after years trying to evade the Circles, he saw a fellow peer standing her ground and violently forcing the Templar Order to behave and imagined he could emulate her methods. Alas, lacking the all-mighty plot armor that insulated his former boss and protector from the harmful consequences of her most questionable decisions, his attempts backfired and he grew more and more desperate as time passed.

 

Moreover, King Alistair's visit wasn't simply about meeting Hawke, but about bringing him back home, by force if necessary, because Anders' allies in Ferelden realized that the situation was getting out of control, but Meredith got wind of it and intervened first.

 

To conclude with that hypothetic tale, the whole "Quest for a cure" thing wasn't simply about finding ways to counteract the Taint, but the result of my (very selfish and always prioritizing self-preservation when pushes come to shove) worldstate's Warden deciding that she'd rather be very far away when people would come knocking at her door to demand explanations about her protege's actions.

*My Canon Hawke tried to steal a Griffin from Weissaup; not his grandest plan ever. He was caught immedately, though they let Hawke go for some reason *cough* Queen Cousland caught him and decided to be merciful towards Hawke *cough*

 

THAT should be made part of the actual story. Way too funny to go to waste.

Anyway, my favorite headcanon, the one I would love to see confirmed in the actual series... is that Mabari's lifespans are much longer than ordinary dogs': the Warden's Mabari is therefore still traveling with its master, expanding the Empire of Mabaridom one tree at a time, while Hawke's Mabari is still in Kirkwall, where he serves as the de facto vice-captain of the guard.

[Master Warder Z_]

That this happened between my Female Templar and Cullen.

 

 

Replace Crack with Lyrium and it seems plausible...

[Sifr]

Dog is the grand-sire of the Mabari that Cullen decides to adopt in Trespasser.

 

According to Dog's codex entry in Witch Hunt, the reason that Dog was absent during Awakening was because he was put out to stud and repopulate the Ferelden kennels that had been hit hard by the Blight.

 

Cullen's Dog being descended from those litters would be even more of a reason it might end up in Orlais, due to the original owner wanting the bragging rights that would come with a dog with such a lineage... and why he might have been abandoned, after the owner found out that there were hundreds of dogs who could claim the same?

[Witch Cocktor]

My male Adaar is a power bottom.

[Patchwork]

Hawke started looking into the red lyrium in Kirkwall because Aveline asked her to which lead her to the wardens, she made a deal with Carver to keep investigating if he agreed to go somewhere safe. Fenris was furious as their daughter had not long been born but eventually came around because he knew Hawke was only trying to protect what was left of her family. 

 

Hawke lied to the Inquisitor, Fenris knows exactly where she is but the DA2 gang are doing everything they can to make sure the baby isn't used against Hawke.

Not headcanon exactly, but I haaaate the fact that Morrigan's apparently been wearing the exact same outfit for the last twelve years, so I like to pretend she's wearing one of her concept art outfits in DAI.

Spoiler

Sooo much better.
