friendly reminder that Orsino was aware of Quentin’s research and could have stopped him, thus preventing Leandra’s horrific death, but chose not to. ✿◕‿◕✿

friendly reminder that the elven people were once a powerful and peaceful civilization that was brought down by the Tevinter Imperium and are now reduced to second-class citizens forced to live in squalor, having their culture and history pretty much erased in the process. ✿◕‿◕✿

Hello, faithful Dragon Age fans! It’s time for the first annual DA Reverse Big Bang!

What’s a Reverse Big Bang, you might ask? Well, it’s the opposite of a regular big bang - artists/fanmixers create a piece of work based on Dragon Age characters/pairings/settings, and then authors claim one of those pieces of art to write a 5,000 word story inspired by it. 

Sign-ups will once again be held at our LiveJournal community - you don’t need an LJ account to sign up, but you will need an account (LJ or Open ID) eventually for claiming/posting.

Oh Hawke. 

Soooo, I signed up as an artist for Wave 2 of the Dragon Age Big Bang and ended up working on arbryna’s A Legacy of Truth, a Dragon Age/Legend of the Seeker crossover. It combines the lore of LotS and DA beautifully - Hawke is a Confessor, which means her touch can enslave other people. While it sounds useful, it kind of sucks when you can’t touch your favorite pirate without brainwashing her into mindless devotion. 

I used to watch LotS a lot when I was younger and the crossover concept sounded intriguing, so I picked it not realizing just how amazing this fic was going to be. There’s a lot of really great friendship/character development, and holy shit the Marian/Isabela - can you tell I liked that? Because I adored it. 

I had a lot of fun reading and coming up with art for this - I only wish I had the time to finish some other ideas I had! (I did include a little half-painted sketch of Marian protesting against the Arishok taking Isabela though.) I’ll add a link to the fic when it gets posted, because you should super definitely read it (: 

DRAGON AGE CLASSES: mage
Mages are capable of manipulating the basic elements, such as conjuring gouts of flame and small localized ice and electrical storms. There are also spells that allow for the temporary reanimation of corpses and the draining of an opponent’s life-force. More altruistic Mages can use their powers to help and heal, or summon benevolent spirits in times of need.
