You know all those beautiful posts about the solavellan legends that will live after datv?
> Something inspiring for the elves. Something to help them turn the page and leave all the false stories behind. A new beginning.
The Dreadwolf and his Heart. Fen'Harel is not the god of lies anymore, now he's the god of atonement and endurance. And the mortal soul who fearlessly stepped into the abyss became his goddess of love, hope and forgiveness.
The word "god" would change itself too. Now it's not some powerful beings to kneel before. Now they are wise advisers and keepers of life; someone who doesn't demand sacrifices or begging but gives their blessing freely to anyone who's in need.
Ask Fen'Harel to guide you through the dark woods and protect you from the nightmares - and he will grant you strength to endure. Ask Heart of the Wolf to bless you - and she will gently touch your heart to grant you hope.
(What her new name would be is an absolute headcanon so it's on you)
Beautiful legend to tell around a campfire in dalish camps.
> People who weren't there at the time, people who were fighting with darkspawn in the south or the people far beyond the sea - they would see the story another way.
For them it's the story about betrayal. The one who was their shield against darkness; the one who protected the world when the sky ripped apart - betrayed them.
Inquisitor betrayed Thedas.
She joined the Dreadwolf tempted by promises of power and immortality, or was simply fooled by him. Killed by him.
It would be a grim story about cruel gods and weak mortals who aren't strong enough to win.
> It would be another kind of story for the Chantry too. Andrastian faith was built on the stories about resignation and sacrifices. Religious cage made of the bones of those who went through baptism by fire.
«The Herald of Andraste sacrificed herself. She gave her life in exchange for peace for those who can't stand for themselves. Dreadwolf's heart was made of darkness, it never felt a soft touch of a divine light. Blessed Herald knew it, and she knew what had to be done. She was led by faith and has no fear before the blighted monster. Dreadwolf ripped her faithful heart; he wanted to kill the divine light and leave the world blind in the darkness. Maker's Bride, our divine Andraste, didn't let him. She shielded her blessed Herald, and the golden light blinded Dreadwolf. His blighted soul burned to ashes in that light. Herald of Andraste gave her life but saved the world»
It would be a propaganda story, a new canticle in Chant of Light. Canticle of Sacrifice?
> And only for those who were there; for those who know - it would be a story about mistakes, struggling, hope and atonement. An understandable story. No true gods, no religious symbolism, no Deus ex machina.
