My Favourite Mass Effect Companions (Part One)

All of my dragon age inquisition companion portraits together 🥰

You guys remember the epilogue slide from Trespasser if Dorian and the Iron Bull are in a relationship?

"On one occasion, Venatori forces ambushed Dorian, who likely would have died... had not an unnamed mercenary band led by a Tal-Vashoth warrior crossed Tevinter's border and mounted a dangerous rescue operation. The mercenaries left a trail of freed slaves and dead Venatori in their wake, enabling Dorian to escape. When asked about the Tal-Vashoth in question, Magister Pavus declined to comment."

"Far from Home (The Raven)" by Sam Tinnesz has the following lyrics in the second verse:

"I'm sending a raven

With blood on it's wings

Hoping it reaches you in time

And you know what it means

Cause out here in the darkness

And out of the light

If you get to me too late

Just know that I tried"

Dorian knew the attack was coming, but didn't have enough time to get himself out of harm's way. In a last, desperate attempt, he sent a raven to the Charger's last known location, knowing that they would probably not receive the message until well after the ambush was over and he was dead. He didn't have time to write much, so he just wrote "Venatori" and his location. And then all he could do was pray to the Maker for the raven to reach its destination in time.

This is the closest he gets to dying, the most successful plot to stop his efforts to reform Tevinter. He's alone, fighting several Venatori on his own, and he's losing. He's tiring, he's out of mana, and he's hurt.

He thinks of the Iron Bull, how Tevinter is still his homeland, but it isn't his home anymore. His home is in Bull's arms, and he'll never be there again. He tries to keep fighting, as long as he can, but he's slipping. The Venatori know it, they've started penning him in, drawing out the last of his power and aiming to neutralize, not to injure. This is it.

And then he hears "Horns Up!" and watches several familiar figures charge his opponents. One of them, the largest, barrels down the cultist in front of him. Dorian collapses, no longer able to support his own weight, but that's okay, because Bull is there to catch him. And he’s home now.

Had to be shared XD

Had Hozier lived in Thedas, perhaps he would have written a song for blood mages in love, beneath the Chantry’s watchful gaze. A cover of "Take Me To Church" for the Dragon Age series. 

Original Song: “Take Me To Church” by Hozier Background Track: Michael Gaffney Lyrics and Cover: FeatherWriter

Lyrics

My lover’s not hurtful She’s a smile in the Circle Her rivalry or her approval Laid claim upon my soul If a Herald ever did speak She’s the Fade’s new mouthpiece Every spell draining ‘til I’m weak Cultivating her mystique Power’s our curse They say there’s none worse

Chantry offers no absolutes Tells us worship our tormenters The gilded cage that we’ve been sent to Disappears when I’m with you Pay your price quick Can barely feel it Enthralled beneath your spell

Amen, Amen, Amen

Sing me the chant I’ll howl like a dog with each dissonant chord I’ll smile as I burn, and you can sharpen your sword Take from me this lifeless life Oh, Maker, let this be my reward

Abominations of a new kind Don’t let them come to light Hold the secrets deep inside Paint your lips with perfect lies Forget what they teach Embrace the Fade’s reach

No more wasting our potential Bare your soul to the essential Why hold back if we’re able? Binding demons into faithful Let the veins bleed Raise a new creed Bless this holy work

(Chorus)

No passions or fear when the ritual begins There is no sweeter innocence than our desperate sin In the shadow and blood of that sad, fallen scene Only then I’m made human, only then I am clean

Amen, Amen, Amen

(Chorus)

Exploring a bit the body language of the clan cats, most of them based on the books and a few that I invented (like that the cats have signs exclusively for the preys).
