The Warden ✠ wardensplight interaction links ▲▲▲ ●★☀ The Hero of Ferelden, Azmariah Cousland, the Warden who gave her life to defeat the Archdemon and end the Blight. Dead in Thedas but in Somarium she's alive, not sure how that must be seeing as she seemed so damned surprised to hear of her title rather than just being known as a Grey Warden. A warrior even stronger than Hawke thanks to that Grey Warden thing, a good ally and hopefully I'll be the one to hear her tale and tell it the way it should be told even if it's only in Somarium. She's got a lot going on in her head - why the hell wouldn't she after what she's been through - but she's a Warden, you don't coddle them. I wasn't expecting the sense of humour but it's there, I just need to keep poking away. Nickname: The Warden, The Hero - she needs nothing else |
Alistair Theirin ✠ swoopingisbad interaction links ▲ ◆ So the King of Ferelden is here, must make good companionship for the Warden with someone else who knows her around. Might be good for a tale or two so long as he's not like a King of Orzammar Nickname: pending |
interaction links ▲▲ ◆Φ Whatever Garrus is, it's not something I've ever seen but it's a damn sight more welcoming than a Qunari (even better looking too). There's something about that face that says there's a story (the face itself, the scars, the blue paint/tattoos) and I want to know more. Interesting voice too. Definitely a resourceful type who probably knows what it's like to be up shit creek without a paddle judging from the last conversation. Keeping in with him as much as possible. Nickname: pending; possibly Scars |
Bela Talbot ✠ onsilksheets interaction links ▲ ◆ She reminds me of Isabela, well, if Isabela wore trousers but that sense of adventure is there, damn good thing too. Definitely a lady I'd like to know better if she's into information and adventure - whenver I give a retelling of the Tale of the Champion I'll be sure to invite her. Nickname: pending |
Lloyd Irving ✠ redcladidealist interaction links ▲ ◆Φ Raised by a dwarf but very different dwarves to any that I've ever known in my life. Seems like a good kid, real shining ray of idealism going on there and well I hope it pans out better than Daisy's did seeing how that one ended. Worth keeping in touch with especially with this Dwarves Code thing. Nickname: pending |
Hubtert Oswell ✠ detonationbloom interaction links ▲ ◆ Interested in the Tale of the Champion and I am always happy to indulge. One of the folks who comes from a land where Mages, dwarves and elves are the realm of fantasy that seems to manifest mostly in the form of literature (not sure on the popularity, I'll ask about that later.) Nickname: pending |
Morty ✠ bellchimetrail interaction links ▲ ◆ Things were said about pokemon (nothing at all like abominations or demons or anything of that nature) and about some sort of magic he possesses. I don't think he's ever had to fight the way anyone else has because he seemed damned clueless about it. Still, death and doom sort of visions might come in handy down the road. Nickname: pending; possibly Spook |
interaction links ▲ ◆ coSpoke to him in Ob Holm when he arrived and looked like he was in the slums. Got friends or acquaintances here but what I'm really interested in (besides the crossbow, can't let Bianca know or she'll get jealous and no one wants that) is the creatures he spoke about. Sounded worse than the Darkspawn and that's really saying something. Nickname: pending |
Barristan Selmy ✠ barristanthebold interaction links ▲ ◆ Don't know too much yet but he's a knight to the true Queen of somewhere I've never heard of. Honestly he seems too damn old to be swinging any swords, probably hear his joints creaking a mile off. Nickname: pending; possibly Serah Joint Pain |

The Tale of the Champion
Jun. 18th, 2012 07:40 pmYou'll need to hear the whole story...
T he Blight had been unleashed on Ferelden. Darkspawn poured out the Wilds, clashing against the armies at the ruins of Ostagar. The battle was a disaster. King Calian, died on the field with his men, betrayed by his most trusted general. Unopposed, the horde marched on the village of Lothering. The village burned, and many innocents were slaughtered. The champions’ family barely escaped in time...
♞
T he witch kept her word and got them to Gwaren, where they took ship. They sailed north across the Waking Sea, lashed by terrible storms. Two weeks they spent in that dark hold, packed in with the fearful and the desparate. And then they saw it: Kirkwall, the City of Chains. Long ago, it was part of the Imperium, slaves coming from far and wide to work the quarries. Now it's a free city. But I use the word loosely. Sail through those black cliffs and you'll see what the slaves of old saw: the Gallows, welcoming you. That's where their ship landed with all the rest.♞
T hus begun the Champion's first year in Kirkwall. Word arrived from across the sea that the Hero of Ferelden had defeated the Blight. But Lothering was destroyed. Kirkwall was the Champion's home now. So he remained, paying off his debt. Made a name for himself in the underworld. It was a busy year in the city. That's when the Qunari landed. A great storm caught their ship and left hundreds of warriors stranded in the city, waiting to return home. That's also when the trouble began with the mages. The Templars had become very powerful under Knight-Commander Meredith. But most importantly, that's when I first met the Champion.♞
♞
C hampion of Kirwall, that was the reward. A fine title. Every noble at the Keep owed the Champion their lives. He wasn't just a hero; he was now the most important person in the city. Except for Knight-Commander Meredith, of course. With the Viscount dead, she stepped in to keep order. Things quickly got out of hand. The more she squeezed the mages, the more they resisted. The more they resisted, the tighter she squeezed. After three years of that, it all came crashing down.♞
W ord of the slaughter spread quickly. The Champion's name became a rallying cry, a reminder that the mighty Templars could be defied. He had defended the mages against a brutal injustice, and many lived to tell the tale. The Circles rose up and set the world on fire. More Templars arrived at Kirkwall to restore order, but we were already long gone. We vanished into the hills, and circumstance eventually forced us all to leave the Champion's side. Well...all of us except for Anders. You still hear the stories of course. With each telling they grow, even if at the core remains the truth. A new legend had been born.The Tale of the Champion
Act I
Act II
Act III
Interlude - Legacy
Interlude - Mark of the Assassin
So that's it. That's the whole story.
[[ooc: This is the Tale of the Champion using the background I used for Varric. Hawke is a male mage who is charming/sarcastic, Carver is a Warden, Anders was romanced and friendship was achieved with all party members (which is possible albeit with enough juggling).]]
