wisp on the wall

dragon age side blog for @zodiac-rave, likes and follows come from there 🥸

📌Hi! I call this a Dragon Age blog but it's like 70% Veilguard at this point because that's where my hyperfixation roulette landed.

Some tags:

doodles

fics (sometimes I put stuff on my Ao3)

stuff about my Rook (Ivy Mercar, early 30s, Shadow Dragon rogue and Nevemancer, former Tevinter military and current disaster)

Veilguard

[flowersforthemachines]

charmed by the scene where Lucanis complains about Neve's coffee in her office from the perspective of a nevemancing run because it essentially goes like

rook: chaos in minrathous, you say?😏 sounds fun 😏😏 though everything is fun with you 😏😏😏

neve: is it now 😏😏😏😏

lucanis: this coffee tastes like ass I've GOTTA make viago try it

Fun Fact; I've been doing crochet for several years now, making my own simple patterns and stuff (mostly small plushies).

Anyways I made this

Because apparently I have an Obsession and no better use for my time.

IT'S MIDNIGHT BUT I JUST REMEMBERED I HAVE A GRIFFON PATTERN

(Old pic as example because I don't have one on hand at the moment;)

I need to go through yarn colours...

Useless Veilguard fact of the day: Day 420

Veilguard's model of elfroot is almost 5 times more complex than its Inquisition counterpart (6510 vs 1374 vertices).

THM Mini Bang Reveal: Stone Song of the Mountain's Heart by Jarakrisafis & Bring-TheLight

Stone Song of the Mountain's Heart Writen by @jarakrisafis Tumblr

The year is 9.29 Dragon, 6th month Justinian and the Orzammar city guard investigations unit has a small issue, and they're making it the Shaperate's problem. It might not be how Shaper Talis wanted to spend his day - but on the plus side, at least Shaper Valta won't be bored anymore.

Full art below the cut

a part of my personal neverook vision is that Neve constantly stifles her own hope that things can get better, or, gods forbid, good, and carries that persistent fear of losing someone she cares about. which is a fear that she knows and think she's used to, but which unexpectedly gets embarrassingly worse now that's she let someone into her life against what she considered her better judgement. and gets constantly worsened by Rook's recklessness and the amount of shit they regularly get pulled into

32: neve and Rook with bellara watching.

32 + 🎲 22. A french kiss/kiss with tongue

(That will probably go in her new book)

Send me some more requests if you are willing ✨

Emmrich Week 2025: Day 7 - Free Day!

I decided to depict Emmrich's wonder for travel, how he always wanted to get out of Nevarra and see the world but never took the opportunity to do so before now.

Thedas' Most Wanted

Thanks for the tag @sorcerousadventurer @redaresss @sandcastlekings @in-the-drowning-deep and @kogarashi-art! I loved seeing what crimes your Rooks get up to 👀

Every Rook is a Criminal to someone, and I will not believe otherwise. Who wants them? What did they do? Tag your gang. Steal the Dividers.

Ember "Rook" Mercar ⚔️

Fugitive slave. Last seen working with the Shadow Dragons, a violent terrorist organization in Minrathous. Trained combatant - assume armed and dangerous.

Crimes: Mass murder. Theft. Destruction of property. Arson. Assault. Inciting to riot. Insurrection. Trespassing. Espionage. Illegal possession of a weapon. Treason. Terrorism. Vandalism.

Reward: 75,000 gold

Authorized by: Sevina Paratus, Acting Primus of House Paratus

First of all, Ember is insulted by the reward amount! 😤 She thinks her (re)capture should be worth DOUBLE that, at least! Perhaps she needs to up her crime game...

Anyways, I don't think I've mentioned Sevina here before 👀 She's the daughter of the lanista who bought Ember.

After the events of Veilguard, Sevina is running the ludus and resurrecting the Venatori gladiator games as a way to boost the cult's morale (and funding) after their devastating losses in Arlathan and Minrathous.

Sevina continues to raise the reward for Ember's capture, as Ember was one of her favorite and most prized fighters...

Rion de Riva 🌹

Crimes: Assassination. Obstruction of justice. Espionage.

Reward: 115,000 gold for capture / 20,000 gold for accurate information on her location

Authorized by: Butcher Dathraata

The Antaam are still pissed at Rion for slaughtering their patrol. Over a decade of never being caught, and this what gets her face on a wanted poster 🙄

Embarrassing as the poster may be for her as a Crow, Rion will absolutely preen and brag to Ember about how the reward for her capture crossed the 100k threshold 😂

Rion: You just need to get good, Em 😏💅🏻 Ember: 😡

[flowersforthemachines]

I recently stumbled upon people discussing headcanons on this topic under another post and now I'm Curioise. (rbs for reach are appreciated!! and please share details in the tags I'd love to know!)

if you have multiple Rooks, vote for whoever is your main/favourite!

so why does *your* Rook wear that shoddy starting armour?

they literally just dress like that. it's their style (or lack thereof)

sold their old armour to get money while on the road

trying to look inconspicuous (of their own volition)

trying to look inconspicuous (varric and/or harding made them)

act of fashion defiance towards whoever kicked them out/solas/varric/the world

I headcanon/mod them into wearing something different (like what?)

Secret nth thing/Rook is bald/etc
