"All wars started over women." - (с) mother of the four winds

She was one of the ancient elves, Mithal's loyal and personal servant. Beautiful as the first rays of dawn when the moon and the sun meet in the sky.

Solas steeped in remorse after cutting the titans off from their dreams while the rest of the Evanuris, including Mythal, celebrate a war won. The light of wisdom leaving his eyes, hiding behind guilt, shielded by pride.

"He did not want a body. But she asked him to come. He doesn't want to be chained, tied together wracked and raging. He left a scar when he burned her off his face."

(im still not good with backgrounds so for now i've been blurring out, blending, and changing the lighting to pics i find on pinterest just so that the background isn't plain.)

I'd like to offer a gift

I've been very fortunate to have a positive experience on Tumblr since joining just before DAV came out. I've been a DA fan for 14/15 years but never engaged in fandom till then. I had one goal - cultivate a space of respect, joy for creation and open-minded engagement. A byproduct of that goal has resulted in a wonderful community that is joyful to engage with.

This blog just hit 700 followers and while it's not what I came here for, it's very, I don't know what the word is. Humbling? Crazy? I don't know but it makes me grateful.

So, the gift. If you would humour me - I'd like to offer some creative writing. I'm not an artist where I can offer you a beautiful sketch, but what I have is writing.

Writing Giveaway

The winner will get some form of creative writing - a short fic (minimum of 1000 words), codex creations, meta of a topic of your choice, even screenshots/gifs of your OC with something written (see here for example). Winner's choice!

How to Enter

Each action below gets an entry:

Comment on this post with your favourite DAI character and why

In order to write creatively I need to write about what I love, so for this gift I will focus on Dragon Age Inquisition - my favourite DA game. I offer to write:

Any Dragon Age Inquisition companion/character and relationship - either friendships or ships (taking place during DAI, Trespasser or DAV)

Solavellan

Anything Solas (i.e Solas/Inquisitor ships in general)

Ancient Arlathan setting/Evanuris

The winner will be randomly picked on June 15, 2026.

(For the winner I'll have a few more guides around what I'm not comfortable writing about but for now, this is what's important.)

The Scorpion and the Halla

Written by: Joly Illustrated by: Gin

Rating: Mature Content Warnings: Graphic Descriptions of Violence, Mild-to-Moderate Body Horror, Fandom(s): Dragon Age - All Media Types Major Pairing(s)/Character(s): Felassan/Original Nonbinary Ancient Elf OC, Felassan & Solas, Solas & Original Ancient Elf OC

In the ancient days of Arlathan, the fight for Elvhen freedom has waged for centuries, and beside Fen'Harel stand his general, Felassan, and his spymaster, Miraen. When an important informant misses a meeting, Felassan and Miraen discover an eerily abandoned estate on Ghilan'nain's lands. Questions pile up more rapidly than answers can be found. Miraen must assemble clues to learn how the fate of their friend is connected to the latest horrors imagined by the evanuris.
