thoughts on bellara? c:
Love her design! I agree orange and green do belong in each other’s arms. Very tender about her apple cheeks.
I know people love to grill her for her MASSIVE hair but I do think there was an asian influence to that choice. Look at some of these recreations of ancient chinese hairstyles! Very big and very bold.
big heavy hair was a quintessential look in korea also! so much so that it got outlawed lol. 얹은머리 👇
and her halla pin reminds me of our 비녀. they were historically carved into animals too like dragons and ducks!
Let's start from the easiest ones: Bellara, Emmerich and Neve.
In particular: Bellara (her color scheme, Elven decoration, machinery, the symbol of the Veiljumpers), Emmerich (second chair for Manfred??, skulls everywhere) and my favorite: Neve (a secondary prosthetic leg!, Tevinter serpent symbol, the same windows used in her romance scene).
Now, we are left with Taash, Davrin, Lucanis and Harding.
This is 99% Harding, a bit because of exclusion but also there is camping equipment and as a Scout she might be too used to camping!
About Davrin and Taash:
I explained here at length why I think Taash is in the "prison" like room, and Davrin has the room with the window. Also thanks to egistential on twitter for first opening my eyes about Taash's room and for noticing the Qunari curtains! And thanks to @commonunknowns for noticing that poor destroyed chair in Davrin's room!
And this leaves us to... Lucanis....
I went by exclusion because this room has nothing... The only thing is that it has no windows, and I suppose it could be perfectly sealable if Lucanis is a "dangerous creature"??
Nice try Bioware, but I know the state of Southern Thedas better than you do.
First off, it matters if the Hero of Ferelden is alive or not. When the First Warden recalled all wardens, our hero knew that was a bad call and refused, finally splitting off from Weisshaupt after years of mismanagement and taking scores of wardens with them. Their presence and leadership makes all the difference, rallying southern Thedas once more against the blight. If you have only an Orlesian Warden Commander in Amaranthine they’re less inspiring, but as long as you’ve done Awakening they are a boon nonetheless. There is someone to lead the fight against the darkspawn while other focus on the Venatori.
If you 100% completed Awakenings and also Soldier’s Peak, the Ferelden wardens have never been so prepared. They’re organized, they’re outfitted and they’ve been ready for this for years. Also, if you allied with the Architect then you have scores of strange research to give you an edge.
If Merrill completed her Eluvian then she moves south once again and joins the effort. She’s managed to cleanse the blight before and she’s ready to try it again. And her knowledge of the crossroads gives the south an edge on their movement and supply lines. If Hawke’s sibling is a Warden they accompanied her.
If the Inquisitor let Briala have power in any way, the Dales become the leaders in the war against the Venatori, forming a formidable alliance with Ferelden, Orzammar and the Marches, the likes of which have never been seen. And if you completed Jaws of Hakkon then their alliances with the Avvar and Chasind are stronger than ever.
Of course, if the Inquisitor kept the Wardens around after Here Lies the Abyss then their numbers are bolstered. It may cost Wiesshaupt later, but that’s Rooks problem. And if you completed the Descent, then the Inquisitor and Warden had a much better idea of what was coming and spent ten years getting ready.
They will not be broken.
They will weather this storm.
