#elora aeducan

[thenugking]

My Dragon Age PCs are such mess like hi these are my Inquisitors, Kas Surana and Rem Brosca, and this is my Hawke, Rose Amell.

Also Corinne is a Hawke but is actually dithering about whether she wants her surname is Amell or Vael or Montilyet.

Mihren’s surname is Ghilain. Not surana.

Elora doesn’t actually use the surname Aeducan anymore and refuses to answer to it. I just have to call her that so that she has one, and so she doesn’t get confused with her alternative Time Lord self, Elora of the House of Whiteriver who refuses to answer to the surname Whiteriver.

Meanwhile Mahariel won’t ever use his first name, L. Hawke will fight you if you call her Lucy instead of Hawke but needs to be differentiated from other Hawkes somehow, and A. Hawke’s first name has become a deadname and now just has to have A. as a weird first name, which just makes things more confusing for Amber Hawke and Amity Hawke.

The games have given Rynessa the surnames Andras and Lavellan but neither of these are her actual clan, and she doesn’t actually use a surname.

I hate them all.

oh gosh i spent a really long time trying to come up with a good scenario to ask you about....i dunno, i think the one scene for me that always kinda DEFINED my wardens was their first impression of duncan so like???? you could talk about that if you want! :3

Huh, I never really felt that defined my Wardens for me. But ye, is still nice question!

Therlia was mostly just interested in having a person from outside the tower around, and asking him about life outside the tower. She liked that he didn’t look down on her for being a mage.

Vari disliked him quite a lot, because he’s a dick at the start of the Tabris origin and she feels he could have done a lot more to help rescue Shianni and the others.

Elora is quite impressed by him, and thinks Grey Wardens sound great. (Not that she’d want to join, she’s just been given her first military command.)

Isaline sees him as a Proper Person, because he’s not a mage, and therefore treats him with respect. She’s a little confused and nervous about the fact that he’s treating her like a person too.

Mahariel hates him because he blames Duncan for Tamlen being gone. And unlike Vari, he doesn’t mind being a dick about Duncan in front of Alistair, too.

Lacha doesn’t really care who he is when she sees him at the Provings, and ignores him because she has a job to do and Beraht won’t be happy if she gets distracted talking to a a human. After their actual first conversation, she quite likes him because he treats her with respect and lets her bring Rica with her, but she’s also suspicious of the fact that he’s treating her with respect.

Annabeth thought he was hot, and that it would be fun to fuck him on her first day in charge of Castle Cousland.

Lorrel I’m not sure about, because I know they’ve met before the origin story. So when he turns up at that point her impression is “hello friend it’s good to see you, please don’t recruit any of my grandchildren into your cult”, but idk how their actual first meeting went.

Elora Whiteriver /Elora Aeducan (she/her) - Punchy asshole is actually so much better than she thinks

I can’t sleep so have some pretty pictures of all my DA OCs, part 1

pls tell me alllll abt ur aeducan wrecking bhelens shit in paragon of her kind

OKAY so first off, Elora Aeducan’s main ambition was to be a great heroic warrior and she has absolutely zero interest of ruling Orzammar or anywhere, but she really loved her little bro Bhelen and honestly would have absolutely sided with him against Trian. Bhelen was too suspicious of everyone to believe this and thought she was secretly plotting against him too. 

So anyway Elora gets back to Orzammar, stops outside and tells her companions, “Soooo I guess I should mention. I was lying when I said I was warrior caste and exiled for killing a noble,” and tells the truth, and that she didn’t want them treating her like some poor betrayed princess, because no thanks, she’s decided being a Warden is better than that anyway.

But she gets back to Orzammar, finds out what’s going on, sees how people view her now and that Bhelen’s hiding at home and won’t talk to her unless she proves her loyalty and goes “OKAY so I’m going to go and talk to Bhelen and then I’m going to BRING HIM DOWN and show him that I can be more manipulative and sneaky than he ever could be.”

She goes around chatting to and helping everyone. She acts like an arrogant princess to the people who will respond well to that and like a grudging admirer of Bhelen for people will respond well to that and like a passionate idealist who wants to make Orzammar better for everyone for the people who will respond well to that, all while refusing to say whether or not she really killed Trian so no one can claim she’s lied. She does Bhelen’s mission for him, but afterwards takes the forged papers to the Shaperate and asks if they can be looked into it. And she gets Harrowmont’s men fighting for him in the Proving again, and then fights in it for herself, and wins, (and refuses to fight with a second in the penultimate battle because nah, she’s got this) and everyone cheers her on and her popularity grows.

And then she goes to speak to Bhelen and they snap at each other and he says she would have done the same thing to him if he hadn’t done it first, and she scoffs. And then the next day she heads down to Dust Town and helps some dwarves out down there, and spares the lives of all the carta members who attack and asks them to tell Jarvia she’d like to speak to her, because she has something very interesting to say. Elora tells Jarvia that if they work together, they can turn Orzammar around, make things better for all the Casteless and make everyone more scared and in awe of Jarvia than they are already. They just need to hide away for now, maybe send someone out screaming about how everyone’s been slaughtered. Tomorrow, Elora can walk with Bhelen through the Commons and Hall of Heroes, to show their alliance, and have as many nobles there to witness it as possible. And then, the carta will spring out and fight, and open the doors, and get every dwarf they can onto the Surface to make them lose their caste.

Elora gets people there by indirectly spreading rumours of how the great Prince Bhelen will be out to greet his people, or how the day will be a great humiliation for him. He comes out with guards, but they’re not enough for the carta and Elora’s companions and the threat of being conscripted into the Wardens and having to leave Orzammar for good and oops, a significant amount of dwarves are now suddenly casteless, and Elora smirks down at Bhelen and tells him that she never wanted to be Queen, that she would have supported him, but he made her be this instead. Thanks Bhelen.

And then she makes the announcement that she’s heading into the Deep Roads to find Paragon Branka, and that anyone of any caste who wants to rule Orzammar can come too, and they will ask the Paragon who most deserves the throne, instead of playing with politics, and people like her enough that they will follow, and it is the most incredible moment. (And by the way, can everyone stop calling her Lady and Princess and Aeducan please? She’s Warden Elora now and that will do.) She ends up handing the crown to Rem Brosca, who has been the Actual Best Person on their quest. Bhelen tries to hold his coup when they get back, of course. Elora kills him. She only feels a little regret. And then she walks out because she can do so much better than Orzammar now, and it’s so much better to be a Warden than a Queen.

10/10 best Paragon of Her Kind Warden ever.

Tumblrs my Dragon Age OCs would have

because I accidentally spent far too long thinking about it while in the shower so have some thoughts

Therlia Surana Spends a few days almost constantly on tumblr, then doesn’t touch it for several weeks. Mostly posts/reblogs politics and social justice posts, and often leaves a lot of commentary on her reblogs. Goes into intersectionality a lot and gets into long conversation via reblogs. Also a lot of personal posts, polyamory positivity and occasional aesthetic.

Vari Tabris One of those people who reblogs loads of posts one after the other. A massive variety of blog types, depending on whatever she’s currently interested in. Nsfw blog. Uses too many emojis and goes on massive tag rambles that go way off topic. Always reblogs her friends’ selfies and comments on how beautiful they are. Shoutouts to how great Shianni is several times a week. Doesn’t usually reblog political posts, but reblogs every one of Loghain’s posts on his own political views with “Okay but remember when you tried to sell loads of the elves in my alienage, including my father, into slavery?”

Elora Aeducan Basically blogs Grey Warden propaganda and tries to pretend her blog is professional. Also thinly veiled backhanded compliments and passive aggression like, “Truly incredible how Prince Bhelen went from an unpopular loser standing in his siblings’ shadows to a prominent political figure. And all it took for the king’s son to reach this place was his siblings not being around any longer!” Occasional posts on fighting and self defence advice. Follows several fashion blogs and dog blogs but never reblogs from them.

Lucille Caron Doesn’t understand tumblr and uses it like a serious blogging platform. Actually professional Grey Warden posts. One time Sigrun gets hold of her tumblr when she leaves it logged on and shitposts. Lucille can’t bring herself to delete them.

Isaline Amell Makes an intellectual blog on theory and history of magic, and abandons it after a few months. Makes a new, more personal blog after another few months where she mostly talks about her experiences as an abuse survivor and offers support and advice. Reblogs lots of inspirational quotes and things. Challenges popular posts with social justice issues. Still some posts on magical theory, as well as aesthetics, cute animal videos, fandom and memes.

Ilris Mahariel Mostly a mix of long complaints and venting about his life and posts about animals and nature, with a few memes. Doesn’t give real life friends his url for a very long time because he doesn’t want them to see what he’s said about them, or how much of a failure he feels. Corrects posts on animals that give misinformation.

Lacha Brosca Only gets a tumblr because her friends encourage her to, and abandons it after a few days and about three posts. Still ends up watching Zev on his tumblr and laughing at terrible memes.

Lucy Hawke Constant memes and shitposting. Jokes about how doomed the world is and makes snarky comments after political events. Makes personal posts while drunk and talks about how she misses her family and pines about Isabela, usually followed by lmao. The only serious posts she ever reblogs are Anders’ mage rights ones. One time she gets an anon asking for thoughts on Anders, as Champion of Kirkwall and a friend of his. She responds, “anders is a top lad”. It gets millions of notes.

A Hawke Doesn’t use tumblr much but always shows up when someone argues with Anders and gets into a big fight with them. Mostly reblogs social justice posts and memes. Lots of ace pride posts and Down With Cis.

Amber Hawke Aesthetic, fandom, social justice and lots of cute animals. Posts about how she loves and appreciates all her followers and reminders that her ask box is always open if people want to talk about anything <3 <3 <3.  Always reblogs things her friends created, whether it’s Anders’ manifestos or Bela’s smutty fanfiction.

Arnauld de Serault Has an intellectual blog where he discusses and reblogs culture and history. Some political posts but stays out of controversial issues. Also has a passworded personal blog he only shares with his best friends. It’s full of snarky comments about Serault/Orlais/Ferelden/the Chantry and “this meeting is so dull someone assassinate me”. He also posts a lot of photos and videos of his cats.

Kasiara Lavellan Mostly blogs and reblogs things about daggers, but also visual stims and things she finds pretty. Always reblogs Cole’s musings. Reblogs a lot of posts on bees, just to @ Sera in them. Hardly ever makes personal posts. Used to make posts going “I am not the Herald of Andraste, I do not even believe in her” but stopped because no one ever listened to them.

Veena Very controversial blogger who aggressively posts about elf rights and mage rights and has “Don’t follow if you’re a non-mage human or your name is Sera” in her description. Reblogged Kas’ posts on not being the Herald. Occasionally gets into long discussions on blood magic or Dalish elves which shock everyone with how frank and well thought out they are.

Estella Trevelyan Willing to fight the whole site and constantly tells people to meet her in the pit. Blogs mostly about mage rights. Sends Vivienne several asks a day going “CIRCLES ARE TRASH” until Vivienne blocks her. Lots of posts about how the Inquisition is evil and people shouldn’t listen to them but grudgingly reblogs Josie’s Inquisition propaganda when Josie asks.

I HATE BHELEN HS

Bhelen is awful and my Aeducan Warden loved and trusted him soooo that was fun.

But then she came back to Orzammar and started manipulating everyone in the city, before getting the Carta, who she’d allied with, to drag every noble they could find up to the Surface. “Oh, looks like you’re all technically casteless and now none of you can be ruler! Well, since I just wrecked your whole society, is anyone of any caste brave enough to come with me into the Deep Roads to find Branka and maybe see who your Paragon thinks deserves to be ruler, because your caste system is bullshit? Oh and thank you Bhelen, I’m far happier as a Warden than I ever was as a noble. And you’re to thank for all of this honestly, because a year ago I would have absolutely supported you over Trian, because I never wanted to be queen.”

And anyway eventually Caridin tells her to give the crown he made to whoever she wants and she crowns the sensible and fair minded lifelong casteless she brought with her and that is how Brosca becomes Queen of Orzammar. And then Bhelen is killed because fuck Bhelen and Rica moves into the royal palace with her little sister and dates someone who actually deserves her and is happy forever and no one misses Bhelen because he fucking sucks.
