EYSTEINN SIGURÐARSON as SIGTRYGGR THE LAST KINGDOM 5.06

We finally semi-officially got the confirmation for which tattoo stands for which faction, thanks to @pinkyjulien's folder! Last two are vallaslin, and thus empty!

i think it’s easy to only think of mages when we look at the mortalitasi but the mourn watch has elite non-mages too. here are some descriptions of mourn watch aligned items that we’ve seen in the gameplay videos, which i think speak to where a non-mage mourn watch rook might be coming from

Enchanted Longblade, a sabre: “Imbued with necrotic energy through carefully managed rituals in the Grand Necropolis, this blade is deadly in the right (or wrong) hands.”

Cryptwood Bow, a shortbow: “This bow is crafted from the ancient death-touched trees that grow deep in the crypts of the Grand Necropolis.”

Duelist’s Blade, a rapier: “This razor-sharp blade, plucked from an ancient hoard, is surrounded by a deeply menacing aura.”

Necropolis Defender, a targe shield: “The elite guards who stand watch at the gates of the Grand Necropolis use these shields to guard against both the living and the dead.”

The Iron Cast, heavy armour: “This armour’s vividly sculpted musculature is a testament to Nevarra’s unrivalled knowledge of anatomy.”

JAMES NORTHCOTE as LORD ALDHELM THE LAST KINGDOM 4.09

We've talked about Ghilan'nain and her monster making experiments.

And I saw a post somewhere about how the Dalish consider the halla "brothers and sisters" to the clan, and what if that is actually literal? Like, Ghilan'nain experimented on elves to make the halla?

And while that is horrifying, I want to point out the concept art for the varterral.

That torso certainly looks like it might have once been a fucking person to me!

Let me just drop my new gif here.

@lord-aldhelm an extra aldhelm for you

anyway anyway anyway fellow Leliana kissers, do we all have the headcanon that when she and the Warden went to visit Justinia/Dorothea after the Blight (before Justinia was Divine), they got married? because that's definitely what I'm been going with in my head since Inquisition but I don't remember anyone talking about it ever.

but like in my case with my Warden, Leliana showed up and was like "I need to get gay married to this elf right now" and like what was Dorothea gonna do? tell her no?

it would be kinda hush hush secret for that reason tho (why Leliana is very intentional with how she refers to the Warden in Inquisition), but I feel like Leliana would appreciate like the Chantry sanctioning their relationship in some way, even if its just one Revered Mother doing it secretly and also my Tabris--who wouldn't care what the Chantry has to say--would maybe heal a bit marrying someone who she actually knows and loves and wants to be with and doing so quietly in a more intimate ceremony.

but also like the fucking power play if Leliana becomes Divine and the Grand Clerics are like 'you have to stop seeing your lover now' and she's like "That's not my lover that's my wife *pulls out the marriage certificate signed by the previous Divine*"

thinking about the parallels between leandra and malcolm’s relationship and the relationship between a warrior/rogue hawke and anders.

how leandra left every comfort she had in kirkwall as a noble to elope with an apostate

and how a warrior/rogue hawke romancing anders could very well leave every comfort they had in kirkwall as a noble and a champion to go on the run with an apostate
