All Praise the All-Father, Elgar'nan! First of the Firstborn! Lord of the Day and the Night and his perfected... elegance. Told you I wanted to put him in a suit. I guess I went a bit too extra with it, my wrist didn't appreciate the hatching technique. Writing in the DA elvhen was funny tho.

Apparently Elgar'nan was BALD ALL ALONG! (the many secrets of the artbook, among the fact he wears clothes under the armor and chainmail like a sane person. Apparently the crown has a wig attached.) With a touch of Elgarook because yes.

[diesvitae]

The many lil faces Elgar'nan does in my brain. He's so funny to draw... his crown is def less funny /sobs

Chu!😘

As I keep working on bigger illustrations my time is limited but every now and then I gotta draw some Elgarook for my sanity.

Yeah, yeah, Elgar'nan is a monster, tyrant and all of that, but by how he was animated and portrayed in Veilguard makes me believe he's completely capable of affection, softness and love 😌 He's not so different from Solas after all. Try changing my mind if you dare! >:))

I DECLARE THE ELGAROOK SEASON: OPEN!!!! (they're in love, your honor...)

[experimentalmadness]

Thoughts about Elgar'nan that are spoiler-ific if you haven't finished the game:

We know he's a spirit of Tyranny, but if we read into how demons and spirits have always been described demons are only the shadow forms of a spirit who's purpose was twisted or corrupted.

Tyranny is already a darker version of other emotions and concepts and so cannot have been Elgar'nan's original spirit form. So that being said I posit that he was either originally Command or far more likely, and much more tragically (and let's be real we're here for the angst) he was Protection.

To me it's obvious in the way he know very perversely demands love and the need to be allowed to protect, shield, and shepard his followers. His is not the same beneficent protection that we associate with Mythal (who I actually think is more akin to Motherly Protection, or Parenthood in general). It's the all consuming protection. The need to keep what is yours safe, the easiest version of Protection that can be corrupted with the right fear.

It's the protection that turns to obsession then the need to control. To keep, to possess regardless of what others desire.

And if you led a new people into a world suddenly thrust into a war for survival...how fast would that protection turn into something far darker?

Last fanart of my fanon design for Elgar'nan, I cannot wait to see the canon one! Commissioned by the lovely @xdevil-kidx who I cannot thank enough 🥺

[eonianshadow]

"The pages of this book—memory?—describe a monument made in a single afternoon by a thousand-thousand toiling servants swarming over a lump of fallen stone as large as a collapsed mountain. By the end of the day, the stern figure of Elgar'nan stares down into a valley, carved out from the foothills of the rock. The slaves have disappeared. Light radiates from the eidolon's narrowed eyes and its open, snarling mouth.

"Hail Elgar'nan, first among the gods! Mark his victory eternal!"

New Elgarook for those into this blooming side of the fandom👀 Headcanoning my Rook is a mage but he's also hella scared of the destructive nature of his powers. Nobody knows power as good as daddy Elgar'nan. He's a good teacher.

(I also headcanon he created whatever technique the Arcane Warriors / Knight Enchanters / Spellblade use so…)

There are many reasons it’s called the "Well of Sorrows". Solas knows it best but never wanted to tell you about it...
