THIS BLOG IS FULL OF UNTAGGED SPOILERS I made this blog for me to keep a collection of Dragon Age Inquisition posts. FOLLOW AT YOUR OWN RISK. ESPECIALLY FOR SOLAS ROMANCE.
A spicy Rookanis commission for my dear friend. These lanterns… Treviso was definitely made for romantic dates.
If you are interested in a commission please send me an email to [email protected]
Solas removes the anchor from a romanced Lavellan through a kiss.
A kiss.
In other non-romanced Inquisitor endings, Solas grabs their hand and with his other hand, does a magical snap and boom, anchor gone - no magical glow to his eyes.
But with Lavellan - he doesn't hold the anchor hand, instead his eyes glow as he leans in for that kiss. His right hand is holding their right hand and his left hand is holding the side/back of their neck.
Like, can we just give it up for Lavellan here? Survived grabbing his orb and it's explosion, survived the power of the anchor running through their body for years, and now just kissing the Dread Wolf with more of his power surging through their body while he's in the process of magically extracting the anchor from their being through Fade tongue.
And Solas is just a freak. Oh, I'm a strange spirit being who's in love with a mortal and can't handle it and I shouldn't but I want to kiss her and so I'll just remove the anchor while I kiss her.
He pulls back and is sad to leave because her freak just matched his.
Translating Thedas: A List of Thedas Languages From Veilguard and Links to Decoding
This has been a long time in the works and I'm so glad to finally have this posted. Some talented people on discord and Bluesky have been doing some HARD work and decoding the languages in both Veilguard and the series in general. While I've working on cleaning up the scripts where I could, a lot of credit for this work belongs to:
Blishtar on Bluesky
Kiranox on Bluesky
Ginkys on Bluesky
@calwyne
@vabonesyart
Ghil Dirthalen on Bluesky
Pundromeda on Bluesky
Jay on Bluesky
Bomble
Languages they've managed to decode + fonts!
If you want to check out the entire thread posted by Ghil Dirthalen (Caitie) here is the Bluesky link!
Here is the link to the script pdf that they have shared!
Some of these alphabets are incomplete! But they may be updated in the future. To which I will make sure to do so then! There will be additional posts sharing all of the things that have been translated.
With all that said! Here are the alphabets!
Ancient Elven/Elven
A note about this that Caitie mentions, while the alphabet works for datv and there is some cross correlation with dai elven script, it seems that dai has some extra rules. It is unclear if the dai script is still canon. Eitherway Caitie and the others have made a font! Link below.
Elven Font datv + dai | Bluesky Thread Link
Complete Elven Alphabet from datv, with notes on the difference from dai elven script, where it used a character to indicate when a letter was doubled underneath. datv elven does not share this trait.
Ancient Tevene/Tevene
The script for ancient tevene and modern tevene are the same as far as we can tell. I am uncertain if like elven and dwarven if its changed from dai.
Tevene script, left is the collection from in-game images, right I cleaned up to make it a little easier to read.
Anders
Anders script, left is the collection from in-game images, right I cleaned up.
Antivan
Antivan script, left is the collection from in-game images, right I cleaned up.
Dwarven
A note on this, is this is different than the runes we see in the Descent dlc.

Tomb-script
An important fact about tomb-script is that it was introduced by Emmrich's writer Sylvia Fekekuty, and is specific to the Mourn Watch, it is not the script for Nevarra in its entirety. As of right now in the series we have not seen Nevarran script to her knowledge, nor have we found script we could deem to be Nevarran.

Conclusion
All text in the game is translatable, unfortunately for us, some of it is just Lorem ipsum or just fake latin. It is thanks to all these talented people that we've discovered it and fleshed it out. A big thanks to them and for them sharing their work with me so I can bang on about it. I will be providing translated works in separate posts organized by language. There is a lot and I'll easily hit the image and text limit.
As things develop, whether in updated/completed alphabets or releases of fonts, I'll keep this post updated. If I missed anything, you come across updates, or have questions, please feel free to drop an ask!
You'll likely notice that most of the site is full of links that go nowhere or lead to dead-ends. I haven't had the chance to reformat much to fit the site yet, but wanted to get it live and running!
Please be patient as I continue to work out the kinks in my webdev and html skills. In the meanwhile, I've made a very small, basically read-only discord where I will continue to post updates on the site's progress and you can contact me via submission form. Please use these to send QA feedback (asks are always fine as well)! These early stages are the most critical for me to fix problems such as accessibility or ease-of-use.
What does this mean for the future of the blogs?
They'll still be here, and I'll still update them! I'll still respond to asks and keep an eye on comments/replies, but the formatting will no longer be optimized for tumblr's layout, as it would be a lot of work to make both (and formatting is what has always taken the longest). I'll keep tumblr in the loop on site updates as well, and if you don't like discord, you can follow the DA Transcript bluesky for more frequent news!
Cassandra: the conclave is destroyed, the Divine is dead, there’s a giant rift in the sky with demons falling out, and we’re pretty sure you and your glowing hand are responsible
Thedas: *broken and bleeding separated by the Veil, Elvhenan ruined, magic is weak, chatting with spirits and demons is some form of heresy now, and everyone's talking about some rando guy named Creator*
