Probably one of my biggest complaints about Davrin's whole storyline is that Eldrin should have been black, I fully expected him to be, and if you don't understand why that's so important or why it would have hit differently then that's on you.

DATV — Davrin Week 2026

A week of pens & highlighters doodles, made for @datvcompanionweeks ♥

✦ Day 1 — Hope & Gloom (Davrin & Assan in Arlathan Forest, after defeating the Gloom Howler and freeing Assan's siblings) Proud and happy griffon dad✨ ✦ Day 2 — Monster & Halla (Davrin facing Ghilan'nain in Weisshaupt, in front of her Archdemon Razikale) In War, Victory✨

✦ Day 3 — Oath & Corruption (Davrin post-Veilguard, in my first World State where Calico "Rook" Aldwir continued to search for him, and freed him from a Blight cyst) It was not time for his sacrifice yet✨ ✦ Day 4 — Vir Tanadhal & Turlum (Davrin post-Veilguard, showing his daughter Cay'dan the way of three trees, and making sure her bond with her brother Assan grows) Family outing in Arlathan Forest✨

✦ Day 5 — Sword & Wood (Davrin & Kataqun "Rook" Ingellvar, sword training in the wilderness) Because Kat is taller in game, I keep forgetting he's canonly shorter than Davrin. With the angle of this piece, he looks extra smol and I love it haha ✨ ✦ Day 6 — Heritage & Legacy (Young Davrin & uncle Eldrin, listening to his stories around the campfire) Oh, to catch younger Davrin sing to Hallas♥ Lucky Eldrin. ✨

✦ Day 7 — Free Day (Future & Family) (Davrin, Assan, Cay'dan & Kataqun "Rook" Ingellvar post-Veilguard, exploring a safer Thedas) The unexpected family that wasn't in their plan, but now they wouldn't have it any other way ♥ ✨

The mod worked! It's so wonderful, the voice matched so well; I cannot believe Bioware chose otherwise. His design is so believable, like I swear I've seen a man like this IRL.

Everyone go add Uncle Eldrin Redesign Mod!!! Credit to @bluerose5 for the mod, and their lovely patience with my mod inexperience.

Last pic for the general whimsy, lol

"davrin, who is Rico Nasty"

With the griffons safe, Isabella convinced Davrin that they would be happiest in Arlathan, protecting the natural order there.

Eldrin agreed to train them, which he had some trouble with until roping Isabella into it. She got more than she bargained for there!

There are a couple times in Veilguard where I thought they were setting up something that would've been more interesting and then they just didn't and chose the most generic boring options.

The first is when you're going to meet Uncle Eldrin. I thought they were gonna have an older black man. Everything about it seems like they're gonna sey it up for that and then they chose an old white elf. Sure in universe skintone doesn't mean much, but in the real world it does. It hits very different to have the wise old elf that calmed down an angry young Davrin be a white guy. Other's have explained why that's a problem better than I.

The second is in Taash's questline. I thought they were gonna set up The Dragon King to be a trans man. Something that not only makes all the "that's a stupid name" dialogues less annoying and boring, but also shows some of that qunari gender binaries and makes him a more interesting and less generic foil to Taash.

The Titans' Calling - Chapter 2

While Rook hadn't actually prepared herself for the evening, the celebration of life Evka had planned turned out to be perfect. She'd invited everyone who had ever known Davrin, even Uncle Eldrin, and had made sure they all felt welcome in the halls of Kal'Sharok. Stalgard, the stalwart dwarf they'd met some ten years ago, was there to officiate the evening and introduce everyone who wanted to speak on Davrin's behalf. There were so many tales being passed around about the monster hunter elf that Rook wasn't sure the evening would ever end. But one look at her partner and she knew that there was one. He saw it. With every story, he saw his end. They would all remember him as the dedicated hunter who was up for anything, and he would only be able to cling to those memories until they were no more.

Her heart broke for him with every glance they stole.
