And those who slept, the ancient ones, awoke,
For their dreams had been devoured
By a demon that prowled the Fade
As a wolf hunts a herd of deer.
Taking first the weakest and frailest of hopes,
And when there was nothing left,
Destroying the bright and bold
By subtlety and ambush and cruel arts.
For their dreams had been devoured
By a demon that prowled the Fade
As a wolf hunts a herd of deer.
Taking first the weakest and frailest of hopes,
And when there was nothing left,
Destroying the bright and bold

Illustrated by paragonraptors
Panel 1: [An establishing shot of the Fade. The Inquisitor and their companions are in Nightmare's Lair from Here Lies the Abyss. The silhouettes of Varric and Solas walk towards a graveyard.] VARRIC: A graveyard. This keeps getting better.
Panel 2: [A full-body view of Solas walking behind Varric.] VARRIC: This demon isn't very creative, is it?
SOLAS: Must it be? Death is a common fear.
VARRIC: Spiders, graveyards....Nothing to spice it up. Typical.
Panel 3: [Varric looks behind his shoulder.] VARRIC: None of it is getting to you, Solas? Not even a little?
Panel 4: [Solas looks down at Varric.] It is unsettling perhaps-- but the Fade and the spirits within are nothing to be feared if one is vigilant.
Panel 5: [Varric from behind, scratching the back of his head.] VARRIC: Must be nice. To like the Fade, that is. Can't say I'm fond of it.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mlcd7vkvavrp6jrog2x7tk4t/bafkreiesaocstuwxmk5p7li5yp4cwbwwglblkpvcv5m3l46b3hozt2tzqa@jpeg)
![Page 2 of a 3 page comic.
Panel 1: [Varric and Solas stand in front of two headstones.] VARRIC: Creepy.
Panel 2: [A headstone with the Kirkwall emblem and text in Elvish.] CAPTION: Varric Tethras: Become his parents.
Panel 3: [Looking at Varric and Solas from a high angle. Varric's arms are outstretched towards the headstone with incredulousness.] VARRIC: You've gotta be kidding me. SOLAS: Not what you expected?
Panel 4: [Varric steps forward, looking back at Solas while pointing at the headstone.] VARRIC: This is what the demon came up with?
SOLAS: You'll have to elaborate.
VARRIC: It's basic. Vague. Tells you nothing you didn't already know.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mlcd7vkvavrp6jrog2x7tk4t/bafkreidm7n3rit3hgr5qpqi6tgupiqa2kxznaxbwrg4jtbhe3biktwckle@jpeg)
![Page 3 of a 3 page comic.
Panel 1: [Varric looking up at Solas.] VARRIC: Does it think we'll be more terrified of our friends knowing our fears than the fears themselves? The scary part isn't who knows, it's facing it. Working through it.
Panel 2: [Solas looking down at Varric with an expression that is left up to viewer interpretation. His brows are slightly furrowed and his lips are parted.] VARRIC: Shouldn't have said that out loud. I'm giving it ideas.
Panel 3: [A reverse shot. Solas looks over his shoulder as Varric walks away towards the camera. Varric's speech bubble is stylized as he mutters.] VARRIC: All this shit is weird.
Panel 4: [Solas continues to watch Varric walk away.]
Panel 5: [Solas looks down.]
Panel 6: [There are flowers in front of Solas' feet where Varric walked.]
Panel 7: [Solas steps through the flowers. They wither under his feet.]
Panel 8: [The headstone Solas had been standing in front of. It has the theater mask of Fen'harel with Elvish text. The flowers in front of Varric's headstone remain while they're withered in front of Solas'] CAPTION: Solas: Dying alone.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mlcd7vkvavrp6jrog2x7tk4t/bafkreia4vmp7fadk554hn3un4kl3gbbxy7pukwkesa4k2r4ykftyur3mby@jpeg)

Tawana and Alistair: toxic co-dependency
Hawke and Anders: fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me thrice... Just keep going, okay?
Shivalle and Blackwall: grief denial rebound (it's fine for your dead husband if it's not another elf)

Tawana eventually links the cure back to the dragon blood of Calenhad and figures Keiran's old God blood is the only cure around. Morrigan gives her two vials, but since Wana off herself in the Fade, she gifts it to Anders and Bethany instead. It's the only and last cure.

Alistair and Tawana wanted kids, but were unable to (taint on taint infertility, as well as Warden duties). Once they live in the Fade however, a spirit infiltrates their lives as their daughter. They love her a lot (they don't know she's a spirit).

Tawana Surana was my first DA protag since starting these games this year and my best one. Blood maging too close to the sun, having everything and losing it just as easily... An elf without any culture and friends and doing everything for her silly boyfriend. I love her so much.

Inquisitor Shivalle and HoF Tawanna hate each other (Alistair got killed, Blackwall is recruited in revenge), Hawke is dating Tawanna's bestie (Anders) and is besties with Shivalle's bestie (Varric). He ensures no one gets hurt when the girls are together in the room.

After 4 months and 15,000 stitches, I'm super excited to get to share this piece I stitched for @inkyblackfire.bsky.social inspired by the artwork in Skyhold's barn! This was such fun to work on and I love that I was able to finish in time for Dragon Age Day 🥹

Only got into it around spring, but it's something I can connect to my fiancé's childhood with, and the settings and characters scratch that perfect part of my brain. It's been helping a lot through some mental blocks. It's helped me a lot this year and refinding my passions through games.
In honor of #DragonAgeDay and because I genuinely love it when people gush about #dragonage, what does Dragon Age mean to you?

Tawana feels absolutely at home in the Fade, ever since going there for her Harrowing and while dealing with Connor's demon in Redcliffe. If she were a dreamer she'd have been unstoppable. It's no wonder she ends up staying there with Alistair after his "death" in Inquisition.

Writing some fic, coming to the realization that if Alistair had not been alive in the Fade still, Tawana would likely be fine and end up with her teen crush Cullen. How does one deal with such knowledge...

HoF Tawana Surana is an amazing leader after years of ruling Amaranthine + Wardens, but she is way too rude and blood magicy for the Inquisition. Her only saving grace is that she's a devout Andrastian who doesn't mind helping the Chantry (but please let Alistair take charge for once).

Happy birthday to Inquisition!
Ironically, today's question kind of excludes your canon Inquisitor. How would the Inquisition fare if your Hero of Ferelden or Hawke (or somehow, your Rook) became the Inquisitor instead?
