Forever will think about how Quizzy lost their castle, arm, their army, in the span of like two days.

Thedas heroes really can't have shit. (Yes I'm aware that you can become a Comte/Comtesse in Kirkwall, but that's conditional and you don't get to see it).

Andraste is disappointed, Ferelden and Orlais. She is...disappointed.

I love to think of the Mark as something close to cryptic and nightmarish as something borne from the vast mind of a Darkspawn Tevinter Magister who had access to an ancient elven foci. I want the Inquisitor to here distant murmurs crawling through their mind, nearly driving them mad. I want Andrastian-believing Trevelyans to believe they hear the voice of Andraste; Lavellans hearing the voice of their gods.

I want the Mark to be terrifying, accursed and blessed.

I’m currently in my Leliana hyper-fixation error/my Leliana Renaissance era.

So please ask my questions or my thoughts about her. 🥺 👉🏽👈🏽 It could be questions about my specific Inquisitors with her, general Leliana/Inquisitor thoughts, or simply some Leliana headcanon.

I also want to talk to more Leliana fans ❤️

Leliana thinks of the Inquisitor and the little smile that only barely graces their face, one that whispers of relief and peace when the storm of rulership lessens for just a moment. She thinks of the tired look in their eyes, the deep shadows whispering underneath. They come to her, with the deep darkness that only she seems to see, and when they tuck themselves on the little cot, they talk, about small things and large things, important and not.

And when she finds their eyes are closed, it’s only then does she realize she’s humming.

We don't talk enough about Leliana's conversation about herself post-Redcliffe.

I know fundamentally, that her saying she would do so again for the Herald is about her self worth. What is a single life for that of the world?

But the firmness of her tone when she says it, as if denying the Herald any right to claim against that.

"No, Herald. I will die for you. You can't stop me."

But you also have Redcliffe!Leliana giving the Herald the look of a plea, begging them to save her, to give her a chance. It's just ahhhh.

Please just kiss her, Herald. lasdnadas

In 9:41, the Herald of Andraste, Alexandra Caera Trevelyan, began to preach her new Chants to southern Thedas. With the crippling of Chantry authority due to the Mage Rebellion, Orlais' fall into civil war, and Divine Justinia V's assassination, many in Thedas turned to the Herald as their new guiding light, and held fast to her as Andraste's blessed daughter, even with the passing of the Mark.

"Praise be to Your Lord and His Bride, and Their Herald, who bears the Mark, and peace be unto the Believers, who bear witness. They ask of you [Alexandra], 'Surely our Maker would not send a mage, a child nearer to damnation. Surely, he would not send the blood of the murderer that slain His Bride.' Ah, that is but only their desires! Wise is your Lord, who would send a daughter, a daughter who is blood of the two Realms, of Andraste and ancient Elvhenan, of this world and the Unseen." Wise is your Lord, who bore witness to the death of His Chosen, and has arisen something greater, more precious, and has given to all Worlds [to all the people], a gentle Mercy, a fierce Reminder." - [The Disputation, 2:1-21]1
"O', you who Believe, when you come across one of the Elvhen, be of the Dalish or of the Alienage, greet them with Peace, and say onto them, 'Our Lady remembers the Blood of Shartan, and sends Her Love onto her Daughter and onto you. Truly, she [Alexandra] is among the Blood.' [or, truly she is a part of you; or, she is part of the Elves.] Forbidden are the Believers to drink the wine of injustice. When you were of the oppress and among the lost, did your Maker not sent Guidance? Ordained onto Our Herald verily is this: when you see oppression, slay it utterly, and cast it into the Flame, so not even it's ashes can be reborn anew. A covenant is granted, to the elves and Andraste's Daughter. Restored are the Dales, and protected in trust by Andraste's Chosen, to the children of Elvhenan. Forbidden are the Lesser Thrones [Orlais, Ferelden, etc.] and Sanctified Seats [the White and Black Divines] to deny the Throne [the Maker] of anything, which They have revealed onto you [Alexandra]. Among the Elves who ascend such a covenant, with their hands clasped onto Our Herald, Our Hands are clasped onto theirs, and Truly We know what is in their hearts. So let all broken oaths before you [Alexandra] become fallen leaves cast away by the wind, and let any who make oaths, unto the Maker, and unto the Flame-veiled Bride, and Her Blessed Daughter [the Herald], and whose heart is free and aware, retain their oaths, evermore. Love and Peace and Justice and Compassion, We have ordained onto those who believe. This is the near insurmountable pass, of which we have revealed onto you. Engraved this into your hearts, for your Lord is All-Aware, All-Knowing." - [The Covenant of the Elves, 10:1-43]2

  • Note 1: The Disputation occurs when the Herald of Andraste first arrives at Val Royeux to meet and treat with the remaining Grand Clerics, which ultimately leads to the Chantry's condemnation of the Inquisition and Alexandra as heretics. Alexandra denies their claims and condemns the Chantry for denying her divinely-sanctioned role, citing the wisdom in Andraste choosing a half-elf mage to be her Herald, especially after the Mage Rebellion.
  • Note 2: The Covenant of the Elves occurs after the Inquisition establishes control over the Exalted Plains. Here, Alexandra reaffirms to the Dalish, and elves in southern Thedas, that the Dales belong to them, and that no nation or religious authority outside of Alexandra, as Andraste's Herald, has any right to remove the Elvish claims to the Dales, or have any right to dispute Alexandra's decisions. Alexandra also forgives any broken oaths that were made before her Heraldship, especially the commitments of the Mages to aid the Chantry and reside in the Circles. She also tactfully installs the theological belief that she must also be called upon when oaths are made. Pledging onto the Maker and Andraste is not enough. Pledging onto her as Andraste's living representative is also significant. Alexandra also discusses, briefly, on matters of ethics, referred to as the "near insurmountable pass", such as being compassionate and following justice, and that creation will struggle to follow through, but will overcome it in time.
