also that post made me suddenly realize like, what is zev’s endgame for the crows?? do we have any idea?? it’s gotta be more than just “dismantle the crows” – especially if the crows really run antiva as characters keep claiming, then their collapse would surely just create a power vacuum for something else to swoop in and take advantage of, and zevran isn’t stupid so he’d have to have thought of that.
his subsequent codices say that he’s good at finding other crows as sick of the guild as him, and that he either kills guildmasters or bribes them to his side – so he’s got “a side”, and he’s willing to leave people alive if they join him.
what is he planning!! is he going to take over and turn it into a nice assassin’s guild where they don’t purchase and murder children?? his whole issue with the crows was ultimately only that the assassins were treated as expendable, he has no problem with actual assassination (”some people just need killing”) so maybe he’ll introduce an employee union system
op was so smart and beautiful and insightful i think she should be crowned queen of dragon age and all of her thoughts made canon
