The Damned

Here’s a duo I haven’t drawn in years. Enjoy this cameo of Aurora Lavellan and Dreshad Adaar, our Inquisitors from Dragon Age, as they appear during their not-doing-so-good phase in life. Another drawing from the Advent Calendar I’m making for @singingofwinter this year! This is also the first piece where I don’t have access to a scanner, so sorry for the decreased quality.

A redo of a piece I did in 2016! My Warden, Hawke, and my Inquisitor!

I haven’t animated in ages, but here’s a very rough and quick try on a surprised Aurora!

Mistress Aurora Lavellan; Herald of Andraste to the Inquisition

I decided to finish up that initial sketch from yesterday! This was so much fun to do. I just kept thinking “What would Orlais do? How would Dorian, Viv, Leliana and Josephine especially dress her?“ Royal golds and greens to symbolize her Dalish heritage. The jewels at the bottom remind me of fireflies or stars! I feel that Viv would have her pull her hair back from her face. “Show them who you are, Darling. Do not hide it.”

Same to you buddy, all three acts. :p

hm. okayAct 1!1. Who did your Inquisitor believe they saw in the fade? Did they think it was Andraste or if they believe in other gods, did they think it was a god of their own faith?Aurora honestly never stopped to think about it, whatever it was was helping her.2. Did your Inquisitor want to seek the Chantry’s aid or did they do it grudgingly? What relationship does your Inquisitor have with the chantry and why?It was absolutely grudgingly. She hadn’t exactly heard good things about them before the events of the game and was not impressed with what she saw.3. What drove your Inquisitor to track down either the mages or the templars? Was it a personal decision or solely what your Inquisitor believed would be best to close the Breach? She knew from the beginning that she was going to go with the mages. She saw it as an opportunity to truly help them and her best chance at closing the Breach4. How did your Inquisitor react in the aftermath of either Champions of the Just or In Hushed Whispers? Were they shaken by the confrontation with the Envy demon/dwell on the dark future they saw in Redcliffe or were they unfazed?She was deeply shaken by the future she and Dorian where sent to. She hasn’t mentioned it to Dorian but she still worries about it. She wonders if just because she may never experience that world if it doesn’t still exist. 

5. What did your Inquisitor do to the templars/mages? Conscription, alliance or banishment/disbanding? Why?

The mages where allied with. She figured it would bother the humans but proposed that it be like probation. If they can seal the Breach and in general fight for the inquisition with hardly any trouble than it proves what the mages where trying to tell them all along.

6. Was your Inquisitor uncomfortable with their title or did they embrace it? Would they have chosen to join the Inquisition if they had been given the option?

She didn’t really like the title herald of andraste. It felt weird to be the herald of a woman she didn’t believe in. Inquisitor was a lofty title that she wasn’t sure she deserved but one that she felt suited a bit more. She would have likely joined for the sake of closing the breach.Act 2!1. What did your Inquisitor think of the Hawke they met? Did they clash? Were they friends? Was your Inquisitor in awe of the champion?

She was a touch starstruck but did her best to hide it. She wanted to hear all about Vixen Hawke’s adventures but played it cool. They got to be pretty fast friends thanks to Varric starting the two on the topic of Cullen’s hair.2. Which warden ally (Loghain, Stroud or Alistair) did your Inquisitor meet? What became of the warden ally and why did your Inquisitor choose to spare/sacrifice them?She thought that Stroud was a brave and decent man. A shining example for Wardens to follow. But she still couldn’t let her new friend stay. She knows Hawke will be frustrated, but once Hawke sees Fenris again she’ll forget all about it. 3. How did your Inquisitor react to the Nightmare and the spirit of the Divine? Did these encounters affect them in the long-term? If yes, how so?She was more pissed than anything. Yes, the prospect of her failing was terrifying but to go after her companions was infuriating. The spirit of the Divine was actually really reassuring. Something positive from the fade wants her to do this. And she was thrilled to be able to help Leliana afterwards.4. What was your Inquisitor’s final impression of Warden-Commander Clarel? What happened to the Wardens, banishment or an alliance, and how did your Inquisitor decide what to do with them?Her heart broke for Clarel. Yes she made terrible desperate decisions but when faced with the truth she gave her life to right them. She debated banishment but if she extended a chance at redemption to the mage rebellion then it would only be right to ally with the wardens as well. She pretended to listen to the ass-chewing she got about blood magic from almost everyone. 

 5. What did your Inquisitor think of Orlais before going to the Winter Palace? Had they crossed paths with The Game or any Orlesians before?She thought they where all stuck up Shems that built a kingdom over a graveyard. Other than Leliana and Viviene her experience with them and the game was very minimal. 6. Which potential leader of Orlais (Celene, Briala or Gaspard) did your Inquisitor approve of the most? Which one did they end up backing? Was it a choice based off of personal wants or the necessary choice to win the war?She didn’t quite approve of any of them honestly. She ended up backing Celene and reuniting her with Briala. This gave her the stability she needed from their ally and opened a door to furthering the rights of elves in Orlais. 7. Did your Inquisitor stay in contact with any of the Orlesian leaders (if they weren’t killed)? Would they ever consider willingly returning to Orlais?She stayed in contact with Briala. Both out of personal interest in her as a friend and to ensure that she’s being treated well.8. Does your Inquisitor have any regrets about their decision on the fate of Orlais, who they chose to rule? What would they have changed if they could?

She wishes she could have arranged a marriage between Celene and Briala rather than a secret relationship. She’s well aware that its wishful thinking and fantasy but the prospect of an elvehn woman as Empress Consort! Act 3!1. What became of Corypheus’ generals, either Calpernia or Samson? What did your Inquisitor think of them? Misguided but redeemable, or evil?She found Samson pitiful honestly. When told of his dependencies and disgraces she couldn’t help but feel this was a misguided attempt at redeeming himself and a chance to get another hit.2. How did your Inquisitor react to the Well of Sorrows? Did it mean anything to them? Did they feel a connection to the history it contained?She was completely awed. The mere idea of it would be enough to make her tear up but to look at it sitting right in front of her. Hear its whispers.3. Who drank from the well, Morrigan or your Inquisitor, and what were your Inquisitor’s reasons for who drank? Were they fearful of Morrigan? Did they desire the secrets of the well?Despite being begged not to she drank from the well. It wasn’t about a distrust of Morrigan, infect she quite liked her, but the promise of knowledge about her people. As someone who was raised with the intention of becoming a Keeper it was impossible to deny. 4. What did your Inquisitor think of Flemeth? Were they suspicious of her powers? Are they curious about her?She’s incredibly curious about Flemeth but also quite wary. Anyone with the amount of power that this woman wields is dangerous. Even if she truly is Mythal.5. What were your Inquisitor’s plans after defeating Corypheus? Did they intend to abandon their role as Inquisitor or remain with the Inquisition? After defeating Corypheus her ideal was to right the wrongs done by him. Continue working as inquisitor while removing the red lyrium, restoring peace, and helping people.6. Was defeating Corypheus a personal goal for your Inquisitor by the end of Inquisition? What was their first reaction/emotion immediately after the death of Corypheus?Absolutely. She wanted to end the ass with her own hands. He’d claimed too many lives for it to not be personal. The first thing she felt was relief. Complete and total relief. It was soon followed by worry and crushing heartbreak when she notices who wasn’t there to congratulate her.
