Death to all pigeons!

Apparently, the pigeon population has taken a nose dive in Ferelden. @burkgolden's nerd sideblog: D&D, Dragon Age, Mass Effect, and more!

There would literally be nothing more Fereldan than letting a mabari decide the fate of the monarchy this is bullshit Eamon.

Arl Eamon confirmed for an Orlesian

[peredurthefool-deactivated20200]

Didn’t he marry an Orlesian? Not saying that’s suspicious, but that’s suspicious.

Whimsy vs Hater

[stonesense]

i’m having to reevaluate my opinions on the realism of the couslands surviving for centuries cockroach-style despite being an obvious threat and canonically involved in rebellions, because i just learned about a real historical noble family who are somehow still fucking alive to this day despite centuries where they were involved in literally every plot rebellion and civil war and they were constantly getting killed or imprisoned about it and still holding on as a family line. and broadly speaking, the reason was that they kept getting reinstated no matter what, because nobody else could or would defend the border they were in charge of. so i’m having to come to the conclusion that the theirins have killed imprisoned and executed the correct number of couslands, but they just keep putting them back next generation because the couslands defend the northern coast which forces orlesian armies to struggle over the mountain passes when they come. and the couslands are unfortunately really good at that and the only ones who can get it done, meanwhile theirins are allergic to the sea, they get on a boat and you never hear from them again. so they’re stuck with each other

[dryad-of-the-dogwood]

the Couslands are also like… by and large pretty heavily in favor of whatever is good for their people, which seems to be what earns the loyalty of their freeholders. the original unification of Ferelden under Calenhad was opposed by the sitting Teyrna Elethea Cousland which tracks because why would she imagine that would be needed, but after defeat she swore fealty. the rebellion where the Couslands supported Sophia Dryden was noted to be because the king she wanted to depose was a tyrant, which seems like a good enough reason to rebel, despite losing and having the teyrn and a bunch of the family executed. and the Couslands of course supported the rebellion against Orlais. they were literally well loved enough the Landsmeet wanted to make Bryce king instead of Cailan, which is frankly incredible given how well loved Maric was himself and how much everybody seems to care about Calenhad’s bloodline.

the Couslands are honestly the best example we have in Ferelden of a family in power that seems to have consistently held that attitude toward their people since the Black Age, and I’d wager it stems from the fact that they weren’t originally a noble family at all! the Couslands only wound up in power because Flemeth (yes that Flemeth) killed the previous teyrn Conobar Elstan, and his captain of the guard, the first Cousland teyrn, took the title since there were no Elstan heirs. the Couslands are second only to royalty by the time DAO starts, sure, but they’re a scrappy line that descends from knights, not nobles, and I think that’s pretty damn cool too. (also Eleanor’s a freaking pirate raider admiral so the Cousland HoF just had no chance not to be like that imo)
