Fur Coats

Say what you want about Ferelden ; mostly “blant-taste” food, practical wear or otherwise.

Orlesian dresses may be beautiful and extravagant but their fashion changes every season, it’s rather wasteful tbh. Most clothes might have not even been wore more than once (amongst the nobility, bc apparently the second time is a disgrace).

Ferelden with their more conservative culture, on the other hand, has simple yet most classic and elegant designs of fur coats in all of Thedas. Treated with care and reverence and are often family heirlooms that pass down in generations.

Commissioning for a new fur coat/cloak are often deem with much gravity and importance ; synchronising with it’s actual physical weight. Such as for War heroes & Veterans, performed a significant feat for the Crown and the people of Ferelden, and/or the Coming of Age birthday present for the heir(ess) to a noble family.

The gold &red fur cape used for royal coronations has existed since Calenhad and has been one of the most important relic in the Theirin line.

The staff is not a staff

You know how like Dalish, from Bull’s Chargers (DAI) keep insisting her staff is not a staff but a bow (tho with a focus crystal ....lol)

You know what else would be amusing?

Mage! Hawke keeps insisting their staff isn’t a staff but simply a pike or a lance, or any halberd type weapon.

Well, at least for the duration of Act 1 before the Deep Roads Expeditions if not later also. For practical reasons, the Templars for example.

Giving their previous rural life in Ferelden as being likely a farm boy/girl using a pitchfork for work or otherwise and their father who taught them magic as well as basic weaponary (bc magic can’t be used out in the public) It could be quite quite convincing tbh.
