30 Day Warden Challenge - Day 11: Spirituality (aka UH NO LMFAO)

Master post.

11. Spirituality. What does your Warden believe in? Describe your Wardens Religion or their Atheism. 

Brosca doesn't have time for religion, let alone the Ancestors. What did they ever do for her, anyway? She was rejected by the Stone at birth, so she holds no particular fondness toward it either. 

Go into detail about how they practice their beliefs, if their beliefs cause conflict among their companions and how their beliefs guide them morally.

The closest thing Brosca ever gets to "practicing her beliefs" is swearing on the Ancesters, Paragons and the Stone. 

The only conflict caused by Brosca's beliefs (or lack thereof, rather) is defiling the Urn of Sacred Ashes, which causes Wynne to permanently leave the party. As I've mentioned, Brosca continues to not care. 

Bonus Question - If your Warden has any superstitions describe them.

She doesn't, but she does manage to make everyone else convinced that she thinks humans and elves knock their heads on the sun and moon when they walk. Alistair tries to explain to her that this doesn't happen and with a completely straight face she tells him to "sod his human logic".

CONFESSION: Whenever I got my Mabari hound, I would spend close to an hour picking out its name because I felt it gave my Warden a poetic air about her

Ugh. 

I need a hug pls or a bucket of kittens or naked pictures of Fenris or something.

'How do I know I can trust you?' she said finally. ‘That’s the thing about trust.’ He crunched an ice cube between his teeth. ‘You don’t know.’

Salroka Mine | Brosca & Sigrun

[stonesembrace]

There were so many things that she wished she had the luxury of doing. Wished that her exiting the town was done on the heels of nothing more than her own determination and desire to carve her name into the memories as something other than ‘just another duster’. It wouldn’t be that way now though. She had allowed the wool to be pulled over her eyes and believe blindly that a duster might’ve been able to make even a half legitimate living in that town. 

It had been a foolish idea from the get-go but some part of her had wanted so desparately  to believe that Behrat gave her a chance. Gave her a chance to do something that would benefit her and the rest of the carta- if they could prove that their presence wasn’t going to be a detriment… but no, she’d thought too highly of it. She’d been so naieve. And now she was paying the price. The last bit of her clothing, tattered and worn as it was, is shoved into the sack as she releases another breath. The loaf of bread that had been wrapped within it rolling into the floor and left abandoned.  It was better this way. Better to leave with fire at her heels and never look back- never wonder what her friends thought happened to her. Better to let them believe whatever story Behrat chose to tell them about why he wanted her dead. Better to not say goodbye…. As if queued by her thoughts she hears the voice behind her, jumping as if shot. The pack in her hands hits the ground with a resounding thud as she spins on her heel to face her friend. ”He sent you didn’t he?” There is no confidence in her voice, and the silence that follows them for a moment only adds to her concern. Eyes cast downward and she nods dejectedly, “Of course he would.” Send the person she trusted most- send the others who were stepping out of line… successfully either whipping them back into their places with her blood or adding two more heads to the chopping block. "Salroka, please.” She doesn’t know how to respond to Brosca’s question, and the fact that she has no ability to do so paints itself clear in her expression. “I just-” she pauses, hand lingering maybe just a little too far from her knife that would be safe were this anyone else… “Where’s Leske?” Surely they wouldn’t go so far as to stab her in the back. No.

"He's not here." Brosca answers absently and in her usual laconic manner, then fixes her gaze on the loaf of bread. Because it's safe. Because it's not her friend leaving in the dark of night without a proper farewell or an explanation. Because she doesn't want to look Sigrun in the face. When she does look up, she immediately regrets it. Eyes flick between the hand and the blade several times, slowly making the connection between the two. 

"Duster, it's me. You know me." she says, voice high with disbelief, brows furrowed in a sharp V. If she was hurt before, she is crushed now and in typical Brosca fashion it quickly turns to anger. Fists ball up at her sides and jaw clenches with ill-suppressed rage. She has never been very good at hiding her emotions, all two of them.

"I came to warn you, for Stone's sake! I wanted to know how deep the shit you're in is." Apparently deeper than I thought - she does not say, but thinks to herself.

How can Sigrun possibly think that she might betray her, Stone sister, dear as blood? Is there anything that Beraht can't corrupt? In this moment, he may have created the caste system himself, branded her face, filled the Deep Roads with Darkspawn. Brosca would not be a hint more angry or shocked than she already is. 

But then, this is Dust Town. 

"I'm sticking my sodding neck out for you. Least you could do is tell me what happened. I think you owe me that much."

I’ll always want him. Until every sun goes dark in every sky, until I am nothing more than long-forgotten cosmic dust, I will want him. And even then I suspect my particles will long for his.

//Maybe you didn't see earlier because it was sort of hidden in a wall of text but

Brosca making Zev promise to end it when the time comes, because she doesn't want to become a Broodmother and she trusts Zev to do it cleanly. Zev keeping his word even though it kills him to do it.
