tracklist under the cut

Dust To Dust - WILD

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust I get knocked down then I get right back up Burn this shit down because I’ve had enough

Second Child, Reckless Child - The Oh Hello’s

See, I was born the second child With a spirit running wild, running free And they saw trouble in my eyes

These Streets - Bastille

These streets are yours, you can keep them I don’t want them They pull me back, and I surrender To the memories I run from

Someone You’d Admire - Fleet Foxes

After all is said and after all is done God only knows which of them I’ll become

I feel the worst and hope the best will come to see us blessed. 

Finally Forever - Chris Cornell

A woman like you I could not replace And it took some patience to catch your eye Patience to win your heart

From dust to glory we live Oh, from dust to glory we live

8 and 10 for your Brosca?

8. What did Brosca plan to do after defeating Beraht, not knowing they would be recruited as a warden?

She didn’t really have a plan, to be honest. She ruled out returning to Orzammar as a possibility, besides to grab Rica and head to the surface - but Rook would rather die than lose her connection to the stone. She played with the idea of claiming Beraht’s place in the Carta, but she’d always hated the thought that she’d always be a criminal. I think Rook probably decided that joining the Legion of the Dead was her best option... 

10. How did Brosca feel about returning to Orzammar, amid the fight for the crown?

Rook was hesitant about returning to Orzammar. She knew she had to, but she kept putting it off until she couldn’t avoid it any longer. She really hates politics, since she knows no noble truly cares about the lower castes, and the fight for the crown was a whole mess that she’d been hoping to avoid.

Are any of your characters religious?

A good portion of them are!

Rook Brosca does the whole Stone-and-Ancestors dwarf thing. Haralt Cadash does too, but from a reconstructed academic approach.

Theneras Lavellan and Revas Tehera venerate the Dalish pantheon.

Lanval Trevelyan and Aleida Amell are Andrastian.

Ulfric Ar Hriegfel, who isn’t listed on my OC page yet, is Avvar & does that whole thing.

I’m sure I’m forgetting to mention some...

💍💎 for Rook?

💍 Would they ever get married?

I don’t think Rook would have ever thought about marriage before the Blight - she didn’t expect to live long enough to get married back in Dust Town, to tell the truth, and she’s not really one for ceremony anyway, so what would be the point? After meeting Leliana though? Rook would get married in a heartbeat, with all the splendor and Leliana would want. She’d even get married in a Chantry if Leliana asked.💎 Would they rather propose or be proposed to?

Rook would rather to be proposed to, I think. She’d be worried she’d mess it up, not say it right, get the wrong ring, you know? The pressure of making a proposal special would freak her out. But while she would rather be proposed to, I do think Rook and Leliana would propose to each other at the same time, and it would be adorable.

I’ve been toying with the idea of Rook actually making a ring to give to Leliana from scratch, actually. Maybe I’ll write a small fic about it sometime.

F for Rook?

Thanks so much for sending this in!

F: Fun

What do they do for fun?Back in Dust Town, “fun” was Rook and Leske finding a roof to sit on or an alley to lurk in and grumbling about their lives, or the two of them running from guards after doing something stupid.With the Wardens, Rook picks up an appreciation for card and dice games and is more likely to think of fun as sitting around a campfire telling tall tales with her friends.

What is their ideal party?Rook doesn’t really party? She’s uncomfortable around alcohol because of her mother, so her ideal party is more of a quiet night-in with friends. Lots of gossip, probably a game of Wicked Grace.

Who would they have the most fun with?Leliana & Zevran! And Horse the mabari, naturally.

Can they have fun while conforming to rules?Oh, sure. Rook really enjoys chaos, but she’s willing to tone it down if it means everyone will enjoy themselves.

Do they go out a lot? No, not really. Rook isn’t exactly a homebody, but if it’s more convenient to stay in, then that’s what she’ll do. Unless all her friends are hanging out, of course, in which case she’ll definitely go out with them.

☯️, ❌, and ❓for Rook and/or Endrike

Grey Wardens

Rook kind of fell in love with the Wardens through the legends about them when she was a child, to be honest. She’s finding that actually being one is ... a lot harder than she thought, but it’s definitely worth it to her. She’s approaching the Order with a lot of reverence and a fierce ambition to prove herself/climb through the ranks.

Endrike thinks being a Warden is certainly a worthy lot in life, though he’s not nearly as enamored with the Wardens as Rook is. It’s just another dangerous way to spend his time. Though a Blight does offer an unparalleled opportunity to gain some glory...

Caste System

Nothing makes Rook madder than the caste system. She hates it. Hates it so much. It’s old and contrived and too many people suffer because of it. If she could, she’d tear it out of society completely - but she’s not sure how things should be structured instead. 

Endrike really ... hadn’t thought about it that much before. It’s just something that had always existed to him, and as an Aeducan he was at the top of it. He’s a bit of an asshole because of this.

Religion

Rook follows the Stone! It’s not really a religion per se, but she adamantly refuses to acknowledge the majority of the Ancestors out of spite. She’s terrified of not being buried properly and carries a pebble from the streets of Dust Town in her pocket so that home is always close. She’s curious about the religions of the surface, and enjoys learning about them.

Endrike is ... something of an atheist, I think? He definitely honors the Ancestors, but he doesn’t really concern himself with the Stone or with Andraste or any of the other faiths present on the surface. He just doesn’t feel the need.
