I see Bioware&Shadowhunters talk, I immediately follow. Just saying. Because I've been thinking about a story involving a First Enchanter Magnus and a newly appointed Knight Commander Alexander for a while now, but never got to writing anything down.
OH MY GOODNESS YOU HAVE GOOD TIMING
I prefer the Grey Warden Alec because the sacrificial impulses balanced by morally questionable actions fits Nephilim so well, but the Chantry and the Clave bear more than a passing resemblance to each other, so I can see the appeal. (The power dynamic can be hard to navigate though, which again would fit the original setting to a point.)
OH, Grey Wardens to replace the Werewolves maybe? So Luke could still be a former Templar who is now a Warden and you’d get all that interesting dual-perspective going on. And Valentine is obviously a power hungry Templar then. That does work.
Seelies as the Original Elves? Immortal, weird magic, interdimensional travel?
(Does that make vampires into demons? I feel like I’ve just made vampires into demons/fade spirits. oops. sorry Raphael & Simon.)
