The Veilguard in color! 🌈
froggos got you covered for those low spoon days.
Vellore is an elven Antivan Crow, who fought her way from the gutters of Antiva city to the ranks of house Valisti. Using her beauty and charm Vellore disguises her intelligence and blades beneath a flirtatious persona waiting for the right moment to strike. Secretly she is conficted between the power and security the Crows offer her and a life free from bloodshed.
Eurydice is a young Dalish Veil Jumper fascinated by the mysteries of ancient elven technology. Inspired by the Inquistor, she left her clan to travel to Arlathan forest where she could dedicate her life to exploring the fade and building a new future for the People. Deep down she is lonely person, and perhaps finds too much comfort in the oddities of the fade.

so pumped after seeing the new dragon age trailer. maker, the character designs, the setting, even the music makes me want to yell!
I mean in this trailer alone we saw half a dozen new factions, THREE whole new nations and settings to explore, seven new companions as well as uhhh red lyrium infectet darkspawn, the return of griffins in Thedas, and the freaking EVANURIS!
I'm honestly so excited
It's been one day and I already love Bellara so much. her hair is so big, she has too many pockets and she carries a bow as big as she is. what more could you need in a woman?
One of the craziest things about Dragon Age (and this might help those of you who don’t go here kind of understand what people are yelling about in the coming months) is its lore. But I don’t mean that in the way you’re probably thinking.
I mean, quite literally, the way it presents its lore to you. In picking up notes and books as you go along and sifting through the codex, the game effectively asks you to act as an anthropologist. You’re met with a host of primary and secondary sources, some many hundreds of years apart from one another, written by anyone from the highest Chantry scholar to John Farmer, and you’re meant to constantly be questioning every piece of information you’re given. What biases are present in what I’m reading? What is fact and what is complete fabrication and what is, potentially, a slightly twisted version of a fact? How does one source potentially contradict another? The lore is one giant mystery-puzzle that you get to piece together across three games, and what conclusions you draw are going to be entirely different from someone else’s, and so on.
And yet, the series still does something even cooler than any of that. You realize, at a certain point, that this idea you have been engaging with on a meta-level — this idea that history is biased and fallible, that it’s written by colonizers and conquerers, genocidal racists and religious zealots, that the ability to control historical narrative is the prize you win for spilling the most blood — that idea is one of, if not perhaps THE most important, overarching theme of the series. The way that we remember history — what we remember and what we don’t, and why — and the impact that has on people on a sociological, political, cultural and psychological level, on both a macro and micro scale. It’s the entire thesis of the series’ main villain’s whole motivation.
And there’s gonna be a lot of people that don’t care about all that but me personally it makes me want to gnaw on a cinder block and scratch at my walls
Dragon Age 4: Solas succeeds in tearing down the Veil. Hawke tumbles out like “whatever just happened IT WASNT ME i didnt do it” and everyone blames hawke anyway
hate solas or not romance him or not whatever like. i dont understand how he doesnt drive everyone CRAZY as a character.
like. have you ever just sat and thought about. what it must be like. the trauma. the shakespearean sadness of being the only person that remembers DEATH not being a thing.
and you feel so insane because youre going around telling people “no you dont understand the world as it exists now is fucking horrible people used to not DIE.” and theyre like “its fine as it is just let it be and let us live and die as we are”, desperate for you to acknowledge their personhood. Meanwhile your entire race is the victim of genocide and slavery and cultural erasure, what little magic remains in the world is shunned and mages are systematically imprisoned for being fucking born and people die of old age and its because of you. and now its your cross to bear to atone for ALL of that and justify to people that the world could be better but no one else knows anything different so they dont get it and just know they dont want to die.
And so the only way you can cope with the trauma of that is by treating the world and everyone in it like it’s a bad dream.
Its just so existential. It’s like what if you could talk to God and ask him why he made the world but he was just some vaguely pathetic dude and his answer was “it was a mistake and i regret it every day”.
