DA — In my alienage... [Animatic]

(Briar Tabris, Denerim Alienage, 9:52 [Post-Veilguard]) — feat. Yvonne Mercar (Melody's OC), Lorelei (DATV Shadow Dragons seller), Vaughan Kendells (DAO noble in the Tabris origins) & random elven NPCs. With her previously sealed memories unlocked, Briar felt the need to visit the place where she grew up, two blights later. Walking down the streets that raised her alongside her new friend, Yvonne Mercar, she takes a moment to accept this reality and mourn what's been lost. It's been 22 years. She isn't the same teenager who accepted an arranged wedding to save her family. She isn't innocent, anymore. Well aware of her indirect contribution to this, as a Venatori, she gets submerged by culpability. But as always, since the day she's been sold to the Empire, her face expresses little no nothing.💔

WIP Wednesday! - Thursday Edition

My gratitude for the tag from @biowaredisasterbisexual

After running a bit of a quick poll on Discord about what "WIPs" I should work on while I'm between Gift Exchanges, the vote was overwhelmingly in favor of a piece on Shianni/Skinner that's been sitting in my "Idea" Pile for about a year.

So here's a blurb from There's a Settled Score staring everyone's favorite Alienage redhead.

Actually written on Wednesday no less!

“I, Shianni Tabris, promise on my good name I will be faithful to the Crown and country of Ferelden,” Shianni spoke as clearly as she could. She hoped the trembling in her chest did not echo in her voice. “I will never cause them harm, and will observe my homage to Crown and country completely against all who would do harm. I have made this promise in good faith and without deception.” She stopped speaking. As best she could remember, that was all there was to say. Maker, she really hoped that had been all there was to say.

The next couple seconds before the Queen spoke again were an eternity.

“We accept your oath, Ser Shianni Tabris. Rise, and join your fellows in the Landsmeet.”

The 4th of August will be the first day of City Elf Appreciation Week!

The optional theme is..

✨️Marketplace✨️

Denerim's marketplace is just outside the entrance for the alienage, and that's where you can meet Slim Couldry, a half-elf pickpocket.

What about other cities? Where are the marketplaces there? What do the City Elves get up to? Do they have stalls?

Do some alienages have their own markets just for them?

There's a shop near a small marketplace in Dock Town run by Lorelei, a City Elf sold into slavery by Loghain and Howe during the Fifth Blight. She was rescued by the Shadow Dragons.

In Orlais, elves must obtain permits to trade in the human market districts.

Just some thoughts and prompts within a prompt <3

Rating- T Summary-

Warden Commander Zukal Tabris has returned home for All Souls Day, but it's not a happy return. The alienage is on the verge of riot as the scent of souls day bonfires fills the air. Zukal turns to an unlikely source for advice.

Written for City Elf Appreciation Week @cityelfweek! Please enjoy a bit of angst for your Wednesday!

So I was reading up on what happened to the Denerim Alienage after the epilogue and my eyes were not pleased with what they read.

[sinizade]

Brianna Tabris 19 Years (beginning) // 28 (The Calling) Rogue - Sword and Crossbow Romance: Zevran Best Friends: Lelianna and Alistair Friends: Wynne and Sten Colleagues: Oghren and Morrigan

Brianna is focused and serious, the time she spent on Alienage was enough for her to learn that life is hard and it can be even worse if you're not careful. Even trying hard, she still holds a certain "grievance" that Duncan didn't go to help her, didn't help Shianni, but she avoids thinking about it too much because Alistair is her best friend and he was very close to the older Gray Warden. Her relationship with Zevran seemed to surprise even herself, she never saw herself with anyone romantically and is now with an ex Crow. Always exchanging romantic letters and sometimes with a little more horny writing, with her lover she looks for a cure for The Call
