TENETS & GUIDELINES

▍  001    TLDR BASIC RULES.
• 21+ only
• ooc bigotry as a whole is an auto block
• no drama
• mun ≠ muse
• roleplay is meant to be fun, so just don't be a dick
• no personals
• mutuals only
• no overt godmodding / metagaming
• oc friendly (I love oc's please throw them at me!)
• crossover friendly, always open to new verses

 ❗ things that I will NOT roleplay and will hardblock if you do :  pedophilia, incest, bestiality, descriptive/in-depth abuse or bigotry or sexual assault (in replies/threads specifically).I know these rules seem like a lot to read through, however I cover both hard rules and boundaries as well as some info on what you can expect from me as a blog and writing partner. I don't have any passwords or anything like that. We are adults, and I trust that if you follow me you have at the very least skimmed through everything on this page.I will also be very liberal with the block button on this account. This is not personal, I'm just going to be incredibly picky with interactions here.

▍  002    TRIGGERS & CONTENT WARNINGS.
❗ Common squicks, triggers, and intense topics will always be tagged as #topic //, and any posts that contain descriptive or in-depth scenes with darker topics or acts will be cut with a read more and tagged appropriately.My blog explores a wide variety of dark and sometimes disturbing and/or morally questionable themes and topics that you would expect to see within Dragon Age, BG3, and D&D canon, so please exercise caution and don't follow if you'd prefer to avoid these. Canon-typical violence, fighting, blood, and injuries will also be present (and tagged accordingly) in some threads. I am a horror writer at heart and this is reflected in a lot of my muses, their backstories, and their themes.Many of my muses have suffered a lot of very heavy shit in their past such as slavery, child trafficking, physical and sexual abuse and assault, torture, brain washing & manipulation, suicidal thoughts/attempts, and grooming. These may be referenced in threads and I am interested in exploring the aftermath of their trauma, however I won't be writing any threads specifically depicting the things they have gone through (or putting them through anything similar in new scenarios).All that said, mun ≠ muse. Trauma and recovery is very rarely pretty, and my muses may sometimes lash out or display toxic and/or questionable coping methods. Please let me know if ever I do genuinely cross a line in a thread, but keep in mind that I am not my muses and I do not inherently condone their behaviour, thoughts, and/or actions.On a related note, I always read about & rules pages for everyone I follow and do my best to tag mentioned triggers (and obviously won't write something in a thread with you that you've expressly mentioned to tag or avoid), but please let me know if I miss something! You can also DM me if there's anything specific you'd like me to tag.

 
▍  003    ACTIVITY.
This is not my main blog. You will usually find me on chaos--mode as that blog is my priority, with reedification and strange-sapphic being my other two favourites. I'm here when the muse for these guys strikes me, so my presence here will be sporadic at times. If I disappear from here for a while, I can pretty much guarantee you'll find me over on chaos--mode, or at least that's where I'll post any explanation if I'm taking a hiatus.On the flipside, I'll never pressure anyone to respond or get mad if you're "too slow," so don't feel bad if you take a long time to reply or just aren't feeling a thread we have going, an ask I've sent in, etc. Roleplay is supposed to be fun, not stressful, so I'm not going to hold it against anyone or get mad at slow replies, deleted asks, or dropped threads.

▍  004    MUTUALS ONLY & FOLLOWING.
If you do not respect this before you start interacting I will hardblock you (an errant like or something similar is fine, I know the dash can be confusing at times with non-mutuals). It usually takes me up to week to check out your blog, read your rules, about, etc.If you do not have a rules page easily accessible from your pinned (on a linked carrd is fine) as well as your age either on your pinned or an about page then I will not follow you. If you are a new blog and are still setting up I will generally give you 1-2 weeks to get some rules / about written out before I softblock. If you get your rules up at a later time, as long as you aren't hardblocked then you're welcome to follow again so that I can then take a look at your rules / about.If I don't see us interacting, don't vibe with you, etc. then I will softblock to remove you from my followers (I know some people prefer hardblocking, if you have this listed in your rules then I will do so instead). I do sometimes hardblock instead of softblock if I 100% don't see us interacting, I don't see us as muns getting along / our writing doesn't mesh, or my boundaries have been disrespected. This is not personal, I'm just going to be incredibly selective on this blog for my comfort.

 
▍  005    LET PEOPLE HAVE FUN.
I have a zero-tolerance policy for any sort of nonsense involving shaming or making fun of other writers for doing stuff for fun on their own blogs. If you send anons shaming people / publicly make fun of others for writing self paras, shipping oc's with canon characters, writing oc's at all, or anything else you think is "cringey," just block me now because we will not get along and I don't want that kinda energy anywhere near me.

 
▍  006    NO DRAMA.
Some people suck, I get that, but the block button exists for a reason. If you have a problem with me or someone that I interact with, feel free to block whoever you need to. My DM's are also always open to have a conversation about any issues you may have, if you're comfortable with that.If someone is doing something genuinely shitty and/or harmful then I do want to know about it, but we can 100% deal with it without acting like petty teenagers or schoolyard bullies.

 
▍  007    FORMATTING & LITERACY.
I use icons (sometimes) and basic text formatting, small font, bolded text/dialogue, and I also like to play with grammatical rules for emphasis and style depending on the muse and verse. Let me know if you have trouble reading my replies and I'll adjust as needed!I don't expect anyone to match my formatting, and I'm fine with different reply lengths. That said, I personally tend to write multi-para to novella length replies.

▍  008    SMUT & SHIPPING.
I won't be writing smut on this blog, it's just not something that I'm comfortable writing with others generally. Fade to black is fine if we have an established ship, and I'm totally okay with allusions/references to sex, innuendos, etc. Feel free to send in any flirty, suggestive, or nsft memes I reblog! If it's in my memes tag then it's fair game.I am super open to (and excited about!) most shipping – familial, angsty, enemies, you name it! I just ask that we chat a bit about it beforehand if you have a specific dynamic in mind that's more than just passing friends/acquaintances.That said I will be somewhat picky with romantic shipping here depending on which muse we're talking about, so if you're only looking for romantic ships then I am not the blog for you. Both Zevran and Fenris are my pickiest muses when it comes to shipping as they have a lot of baggage and complicated, messy feelings about both themselves and any potential romantic/non-casual sexual relationships. They are finicky and it takes a lot to get them to truly open up and be vulnerable. They're more likely to engage in casual flings than anything deeper, so it will take some work to get there if you're looking to legitimately ship with them.I have default romances for each of my Dragon Age heroes in-game, but if you're interested in shipping please feel free to reach out about it! I ship based on chemistry and prefer that we as muns know & talk ooc, but otherwise I am multiship and don't do exclusives unless my writing partner does.

 
▍  009    DEFAULT WORLD STATE (DA).
The default world state for each muse is generally the "best" outcome and siding with mages, with a handful of exceptions. I also assume default PC's (my Warden, Hawke, and Inquisitor) if your muse isn't one. If you are writing a Dragon Age PC then I will assume your world state for our thread(s). We can also work out a custom verse between our muses if you'd like, just hit me up either in dm's or on discord if we're mutuals.

 
▍  010    ORIGINAL LORE (DA).
This blog features some pretty hefty original lore focused around my beloved DA2 oc, Ashkaari Maraas, as well as my main muse, Ren Harley (specifically her Veilguard verse). Both Ashkaari & Ren and their lore (along with an original faction) are pretty intertwined with my portrayal of both Zevran and Fenris, and Harding to a certain degree. All this to say, unless we establish a custom verse between our muses then I will consider this lore canon to my portrayal.

MEMENTO MORI

Memento Mori, a latin phrase meaning "Remember you must die" ; an artistic or symbolic trope reminding of the inevitability of death. 
❝  ENTERTAINER    →   born in Baldur's Gate.Born alongside her twin sister – Tavi'leth "Tavi" – in the depths of Baldur's Gate's lower class, Tava'arith "Tava" has a very... unique upbringing. What is first introduced to the twins by their parents as a  "fun game"  soon turns into a grueling, difficult, tiresome routine.For reasons unknown to the girls until much later in their lives, their parents hide the fact that they have two daughters from the world. As far as everyone else is concerned, there is only the one; Tav.And so, the twins grow up forced by their parents to take turns existing in the world. On one day, Tavi is allowed to leave their home. On the next, it is Tava's turn. And they pretend to be the same; at school, in the market, with their friends. So it goes, round and round in circles, for  nearly fourteen years.  Tava takes to performing for crowds, a precocious and charismatic child, natural entertainer. Her sister, Tavi, prefers to keep to the shadows, skulking about and keeping out of sight as much as she possibly can.

 
  
❝  ON THE HIGH SEAS    →   the two-headed calf.Tava has friends, just like Tavi has friends. Even if their parents make them pretend to be the same, they aren't. And despite what most would likely believe, Tava's friends are a touch more rough around the edges than Tavi's.Pirates. Tava's friends are pirates. And they have a plan. But do plans ever really stay their course?Tava  sets fire to the docks.  It's not a part of the plan, but there isn't really much to be done about it at that point. Time seems to stand still, just for a moment, a heartbeat, as the twins lock eyes through the flickering flames. They were meant to go together, to escape, to find a  life of their own  out of their parents strange, restrictive (and yet still remarkably loving) grasp. Instead, Tava flees Baldur's Gate on a pirate ship, a blazing inferno scorching the earth at their heels; she chooses  her own freedom  over staying with her sister.It's a choice that haunts her for years to come ...

 
❝  THE FIRST CUT    →   blood of betrayal.Tava's new crew refuses to return to Baldur's Gate to help her sister. ❝It's too dangerous,❞ they say. ❝We can never go back there,❞ they tell her. Tava is too young to truly understand. She convinces herself that if she stays with them, trains herself and proves how valuable she is, that she could sway their captain's favour; show them why her sister is worth the risk.Instead, Tava spends years plagued by guilty nightmares. She spends years learning the craft, learning to fight, learning to use her tongue as a weapon. She spends years  falling in love. Tava loves her like a child loves a new toy. It is a fickle sort of love. No less genuine, for certain, but always threatened by the prospect of a newer, more interesting love. It's a shame, really. Tava doesn't want to kill her second love. But, well;  her sister comes first.  Always.Which is why Tava  takes the deal,  when a mysterious coven of witches appears and offers her a way back; a century in their service in exchange for power enough to lay waste to the whole of Baldur's Gate, to  get her sister back.  But their deals are not signed in ink; they are signed in blood. Blood borne of betrayal as a proof of loyalty (fucking riddle me that one).She thinks, later, that the person she was died on the ship, that day. Tava slit her throat and left her in the waves to stay with her first love.

 
❝  BIRTH OF AN OMEN    →   remember you must die.The coven of witches is not, in fact, a coven of witches; they're fucking hags.But Tava has signed a deal. A pact, as she comes to find out, making her a  warlock to the fathomless;  sea hags. They aren't the strongest, as far as hags go, but as a coven? One powerful enough that they sail the trackless sea aboard a massive ship (their lair), sending their countless warlocks to complete covert and targeted assassinations?  Tava doesn't stand a gods damned chance. And so she serves. The years slip by, day by day, week by week, month by month. And then the years slip into decades. Tava counts the time left on her deal, on her pact, biding her time to collect on their ultimate deal, to the day she can see her sister again (she figures they're long past any sort of rescue operation, at this point). The hags know this, of course, keeping her far away from Baldur's Gate. Tava doesn't step foot on the Sword Coast again for nearly fifty years.And by then? Well, by then Tava is no longer Tava. The sea has a habit of hardening even the softest of sailors, and she hasn't exactly had it easy, acting as the sword arm for a coven of sea hags. She becomes cold, calculated, almost brutal. She never fails, never falters, and is never caught. She becomes an omen, a warning, a symbol of death to be delivered wherever she roams.Tava becomes Memento Mori (Storm Siren comes later).

 
❝  PORT TO BALDUR'S GATE    →   and so it begins ...Mori's patrons do not want to let her off her leash. They don't want to send her to Baldur's Gate. They don't want to send her to  assassinate Enver Gortash,  to foil the disruptive plot they can sense him (and select others, though they are less easily accessible to the coven) brewing.They do not want to.But, in the end, the hags decide they have no choice. Or, at least, that they have very little choice. They have many capable fighters and assassins among their brood, warlocks that could most likely complete any task the hags would set before them. But not every species lives as long as elves, or can offer as much experience as elves inevitably gather. And, of course, there is the fact that  Mori is special  (though, they haven't let that little secret slip just yet).So Mori is given her next task; go to Baldur's Gate, and  kill Enver Gortash. It should be simple, she thinks. Easy. Murder some haughty noble idiot? She could do it in her sleep. She has done it a hundred times before, in a hundred different ways. It may not be the life she ever would have pictured for herself, but she would be lying if she said she didn't excel at it.Mori doesn't even make it to her target, plucked from the streets that were once her life. The next time she steps foot on the Sword Coast she has a rather unwelcome little visitor.

JOURNAL UPDATED: ACT I

▍ ❝   Contact your patrons. 
What a fucking mess. I’m alive, which is something I guess, but I’m now stranded on some stupidly picturesque beach in the middle of who-knows-where with a godsdamned tadpole wiggling around behind my eye. Knowing my luck, I’m halfway across the continent from Baldur’s Gate at this point. I need to find a way to get in touch with my patrons before they think I’ve gone and broken my pact.
 

▍ ❝   Tread carefully. 
It’s probably best if I keep the details of my past and pact to myself. It wouldn’t benefit the others to be privy to who I am or what I’ve done, or my business in Baldur’s Gate. I should watch my – and my tadpole’s – steps around them.
 

▍ ❝   Speak with Auntie Ethel. 
My patrons mentioned another hag in the area, and Auntie Ethel certainly fits the bill. She marked her house on my map, and it’s clear she knows something about my… predicament. I should probably pay her a visit.
 

▍ ❝   Make some progress. 
That damned druid is a traitor to her Grove, the hag was of no help, and we still have yet to find this fabled Halsin everyone keeps talking about. I need to figure something out, and soon. We can’t keep stumbling around in the dark like this. Our luck is bound to run out eventually.
 

▍ ❝   Eliminate all distractions. 
There’s too much to do. Lae’zel seems to have run out of patience on the matter of her damned crèche, and Karlach won’t let me forget that she’s being dogged by false paladins. We may as well head north to deal with their distractions, and maybe we can stop by that pitiable hag’s swamp and lop her head off while we’re at it.
 

▍ ❝   Find Halsin. 
Enough is enough. The hag might have been of no use (hells rest her rotten, putrid soul), but this ‘Halsin’ has been talked up enough I’m starting to think he may be Ilmater incarnate. Or just some overblown pansy that gets too much credit. It’s time for us to finally head to this goblin camp and find out for ourselves, once and for all.
 

▍ ❝   Destroy the goblin camp. 
Well, the druid was of no help. Not with the tadpoles, at least. ‘Moonrise Towers’, he says. ‘Kill the goblin leaders’, he says. When did this Grove’s problems become mine? Whatever. May as well deal with this now so that it doesn’t come back to bite us in the ass later.

ARACHESIS MAE'VIR

❝  ACOLYTE OF LOLTH    →   background.
Born and raised in the Cult of Lolth under a noble drow house, Arachesis always felt as if something was pulling them away, clouding their mind from the brunt of the Cult's indoctrination. As a young child they wandered off on their own, following a trail of glittering lights and beautiful mushroom clusters. In a remote ruin far from their homestead they found an ancient and empty temple of Eilistraee. For the first time in their life they felt at ease ; peaceful ; calm.In the years following, Arachesis would return to the ruined temple to meditate. Though Eilistraee never spoke to them directly, they would sometimes see visions of life, nature, and beauty during their meditations. While the propaganda of Lolth's Cult and Arachesis' upbringing wasn't quite so easily unraveled, they learned bits Eilistraee's teachings, enough to develop an appreciation for life and beauty that was usually foreign to the Lolth-sworn.But Lolth, goddess of cold cruelty, does not take well to even the possibility of treachery...
 

❝  BETRAYER OF LOLTH 
Arachesis, barely into their teenage years, was reported as a betrayer to Lolth's high priestesses. They fought viciously, not understanding what it was they had done wrong, but were overwhelmed and outnumbered. When it seemed as if there was no hope, a divine light enveloped them and they could feel a burst of power erupt from them. They barely managed to escape, leaving a trail of blood and corpses in their wake.Bruised, beaten, and barely clinging to life, Arachesis fled into the depths of the Underdark. They eventually found themselves in a field of glowing mushrooms, collapsing as their strength finally waned. They stared up at the darkness, dotted with the twinkling glow of phosphorescent flora, and felt the fear and anger and unsurety that they were born with begin to fade;  Arachesis was ready to die. There was a strange sense of calm to them, as their consciousness slipped away...

❝  DEATH IS NO ESCAPE 
Lolth does not take kindly to betrayers, and Lolth does not willingly relinquish Her claim on Her children. Instead of the peaceful embrace that Arachesis expected of death, they woke to nothing but pain and suffering. Their goddess is nothing if not retributive, and for their wandering faith Arachesis was to be punished, even in death.They awoke to the mortal realm some days later, bandaged and relatively safe. A collective of priestesses from the Church of Eilistraee had been called to them by their shared goddess and brought Arachesis back to their temple, caring for them until they awoke. Feeling a debt to those that saved them from death (and Lolth's clutches), Arachesis remained, relying on the priestesses to protect them from those that might still seek them out in Lolth's name.
 

❝  ONCE A BETRAYER... 
Several years were spent in this temple. While the priestesses encouraged Arachesis to embrace Eilistraee and Her teachings, they remained distant and aloof, resisting their attempts to integrate them into the temple and Eilistraee's Church. While they grew stronger as a monk and would lend aid to the temple's day-to-day chores and affairs, they grew frustrated and resentful. The head priestess, Rhyl'Im, was strict with them (understandably so, considering the circumstances), limiting their training, access, and privileges in the temple.While Arachesis was hesitant to truly convert and declare themselves a "follower" of Eilistraee, they still saw value in many of Her tenants. They became enchanted by the idea of Sword Dancers, specialty priests in Her service. Rhyl'Im – a Sword Dancer herself – entertained Arachesis' interest only to a point; eager to discuss details of the order, but unwilling to train Arachesis in any of its talents.Arachesis grew tired of this eventually, wanting more. And while it would be a simple thing to simply leave and pursue the training they sought, their spite beckoned them.  And so they stole away in the middle of the night, carrying more than just their own belongings. 

❝  A CULTURE OF PAIN    →   homebrew lore.
Note: This lore was written for my personal campaign specifically for Arachesis – if you write a muse that is involved with Underdark drow or Lolth (or is one themselves) then I  will not  assume that this is canon for my portrayal unless you expressely tell me that you'd like to use it. The  same goes for their "Sculpted Features" feat,  since this assumes further lore that we wrote for drow culture in the same campaign.The drow believe that suffering is a personal right, that pain and torment help forge them into the people they become. They do not necessarily seek it out or intend to inflict it upon others without undue process, but they embrace it when it does come. They see someone stepping in to prevent suffering or pain as an infringement, prevention of the suffering person's growth, a stifling of their potential strength. They are not unlike worshippers of Loviatar in this regard, though most of drow culture focuses on the endurance and overcoming of pain rather than the pain itself or pain simply for pain's sake.The goddess Lolth knows this, sees this, and uses it to her own cruel ends with Her sworn.

❝  SCULPTED FEATURES    →   custom feat ft. more homebrew lore.As a member of a noble drow house, Arachesis' facial bone structure has been carefully carved to emulate the desired features of their house. While not recognizable to anyone unfamiliar with draw customs and each house's signature features, those that are familiar would know their origins at a glance.
 

❝  SMALL BUT MIGHTY    →   custom feat.Used to a life of balance, Arachesis is both disciplined and yet not unfamiliar with the luxury of decadence. While they take their training very seriously and are incredibly quick and agile, they don't look particularly muscled or intimidating. They're more worried about their ability and skill than the vain appearance of strength and aren't concerned with either the definition of their muscles or the fullness in their figure.

INVENTORY

❝  SILVERTHREAD    →   legendary wondrous item, Artifact of Eilistraee (stolen).A set of two cloth hand wraps, the material shimmering with an ethereal purple glow.

ASHKAARI MARAAS

❝  BACKSTORY    →   c. 9:07-9:24 Dragon
“Found” as a babe by a Tal-Vashoth smuggler who decided to keep them, all Ashkaari knows of their parents is what their “mother” told them; they were Dalish elves, their camp was razed by a rival smuggler operation, and their “mother” could save only them from the blaze.Ashkaari was used as a tool to help with the smuggler’s various criminal activities. They were trained as a rogue and proved to be very agile. Their mother was always distant, more focused on sculpting Ashkaari into something useful.
 

❝  INCITING INCIDENT    →   c. 9:24 Dragon
When they were 17, their smuggler’s den was raided by the local guard and almost all within were killed. Ashkaari was struck across the chest and left behind by their mother, who seemingly made it out alive. They were left to bleed out, alone.A crate of lyrium was knocked over and spilled out over them, seeping into the wound on their chest. Ashkaari passed out from the pain and their soul manifested in the Fade. They met a spirit there who offered its condolences, saying that they could be free from their mother’s hand if they let go, but that it was not yet their time. It introduced itself as "Grace" and told Ashkaari that they’d be okay, that pain was temporary and it would pass, but that they must go back and endure.Pain brought them back to themselves. They awoke to the left side of their face screaming in pain, a container of lyrium having exploded and been embedded in their skin with the force of the fire, which also cauterized the wound across their chest. But the spirit – Grace’s – words echoed in Ashkaari’s mind, and they forced themselves to escape the blaze.

❝  FORMATIVE YEARS    →   c. 9:24-9:27 Dragon
Betrayed by their “mother” and more curious of their past than ever, along with their newfound abilities and conversation with a spirit, Ashkaari sought advice from Dalish clans. While the clan was wary, they welcomed the elf and taught them what the Dalish believed of magic and the Fade, though they could not help with the question of their true family.Over the next few years, Ashkaari developed strange abilities owed to the lyrium in their skin and blood. The burn on their face that scarred and half blinded them gave them the ability to see manifestations of the Fade in the waking realm. The lyrium that had seeped into their blood through the gash across their chest gave them resistances and immunity to most poisons, venoms, and diseases, as well as the ability to manipulate or bolster the power of mages. While Ashkaari could not cast magic, they could dispel magic from others, turn it into something different, or make it stronger by the force of their will. The former two were contestations of the original caster’s will, however, and Ashkaari could not overpower those stronger than they.At the Keeper’s behest, Ashkaari began to reach out to Grace in their dreams, eventually managing to find and speak with the spirit again. While it could not provide any answers, it proved to be a friend and helped them understand how to use and manifest their abilities.Ashkaari eventually left the Dalish, wanting to make their own way. They traveled western Thedas near Orlais, drawn to the beauty of the noble and elite. With no real direction they became a nomad, traveling from city to city and scraping together what coin they could.

CONTACTS

❝ + Marian "Mar" Hawke. Female mage. Purple is her favourite personality trait. Has a red outer shell, but a heart that bleeds blue.❝ + Zevran Arainai. They are close friends, having first met when Zevran came across the Dalish clan that took them in after their death. He introduces them to the Guild of Hunters and often offers tips and leads for their work.❝ + Fenris. They met when Ashkaari (on a tip from Zevran) made their way to Kirkwall in 9:30 Dragon to eliminate a Tevinter Magister rumoured to be chasing an escaped slave. They stick together after Kirkwall as Ashkaari introduces him to the Guild of Hunters.❝ + Renée "Ren" Harley is a fearsome and powerful mage from Tevinter allied with the Friends of Red Jenny in Starkhaven, colloquially known as the "Blighted Mage."

FACTIONS

❝ + The Guild of Hunters was founded in the northern reaches of Nevarra as an offshoot of the Shadow Dragons. They operate across Thedas, though most are clustered from the Tevinter Imperium’s borders down to the Free Marches. Guild members, also known as “Hunters,” eliminate slavers where they take root and seek to abolish all slaver groups and activity outside of Tevinter's borders.❝ + Shadow Dragons. While not an "official" Dragon, Ashkaari often works fairly closely with them considering their employ with their offshoot organization. In their early days as a Guild Hunter, they often corresponded with Shadow Dragons and carried out smaller jobs involving slavers around the borders of Tevinter that recently fled just outside of the Dragons' network.

OPHALA CHELDARSTORN

 
❝  Born in the rough streets of Luskan along the northern Sword Coast,  Ophala finds her escape in her early 20s as an apprentice, whisked away to the illustrious city of Waterdeep. She proves to be a rather talented wizard, particularly adept in the study of bladesinging. While she excels in her studies, she also finds time to hone her talent for roguish activities, acting as a spy for various less than savoury contacts she maintains back in Luskan.Ophala eventually settles in Neverwinter after a brief stint as a rather talented adventurer. Ingratiating herself with the upper echelons of society and the fine art world, she makes a name for herelf (and a rather lot of coin). She joins the Order of the Many-Starred Cloak after just a few short months in the city and cuts ties with her old Luskan contacts, preferring to lend her considerable talents to the Order and their friends, the Harpers.

 
With the breadth of her adventuring and spying days behind her, Ophala settles into the new normalcy of life in Neverwinter. She eventually builds a new establishment in the City Core, slowly transforming it into a staple, a must-see stop for any traveling through the city. The Moonstone Mask might be a brothel by name, but its hallowed halls trade in many other things, too.Nobles drown their sorrows in a night of companionship, their wedding rings forgotten at home or hidden away in the depths of their pockets. Visiting dignitaries stop in for a taste, just to say that they did. Most of Ophala's courtesans are, in fact, quite skilled in their own right, persuasive and charismatic, the perfect recipient for every precious secret that passes through the brothel's walls. There is more than one way to make coin in the Jewel of the North...

FANTASY VERSES

▍ ❝   D&D – FORGOTTEN REALMS    Main / default.
A ❝ retired ❞ spy and adventurer residing in Neverwinter, Ophala spends her time wheeling & dealing fine art and running the esteemed Moonstone Mask brothel. She is rather settled in her version of normalcy, content to send the odd adventurer to deal with whatever disagreement might be plaguing her.
 

▍ ❝   BALDUR'S GATE 3    Companion.
Ophala does not do favours. Not typically, at least. Her services tend to come at quite the cost. But Elminster is an old friend, and old friends have many favours passed between them. When Mystra tasks him to deliver a message to her old Chosen, Ophala is dragged along and subsequently asked to keep an eye on him.
 

▍ ❝   DRAGON AGE    Kirkwall.
A talented mage and infamous apostate, Ophala was born and raised in the upper courts in The Game of Orlais. She is later present for the mage uprising in Kirkwall, lending her aid to First Enchanter Orsino and helping to organize the remaining mages and willing apostates after the dust settles.
 

▍ ❝   DRAGON AGE    Inquisition.
She finds herself further south just a few years later, lending aid to Ferelden's mages in Redcliffe. While she's concerned at the arrival of the Tevinter mages and their subsequent takeover of the small village, she leaves to seek help with the fledgling Inquisition.
 

▍ ❝   DRAGON AGE    Dreadwolf.
Once the Inquisition's work is done and Solas starts wreaking havoc across Thedas, Ophala can't bring herself to leave. She sticks with Varric and Harding in the hopes to help stop the threat of the Dread Wolf ripping the fabric of reality apart.
 

▍ ❝   DRAGON AGE    Veilguard.
Harding was closer to Varric than Ophala was. She still feels the weight of his absence, even as the weight of the world bears down on them. She sticks around despite her better judgment, unable to leave Harding to deal with the end of the world alone.

LACE HARDING

❝  BACKSTORY    →   c. 9:16-9:41 Dragon
Born just outside of Redcliffe in the Southern Hinterlands, Harding grew up on farmland, more drawn to wilderness and adventure than the life of a pretty, delicate ❛Young Lady❜ (besides, who ever said there was only one way to be a lady?) Her mother was a seamstress and her father a trader, both surfacers.
 

❝  THE INQUISITION    →   c. 9:41-9:42 Dragon
Harding was quick to volunteer to help the Inquisition when they first began to build a presence near her home in Redcliffe. Knowledgeable of the area, quick on her feet, and eager to help, she quickly became indispensable to the Inquisition's forces. She eventually became the organization's Lead Scout, coordinating surveillance of locations throughout Southern Thedas and providing their report to the Inquisitor.
 

❝  TRESPASSER    →   c. 9:44 Dragon
Two years after the Inquisition manages to defeat Corypheus and seal the Breach, they're called to Orlais for the Exalted Council. The Inquisition's fate hangs in the balance, but before the Council can complete their business, the negotiations are interrupted several times over.The Ben-Hassrath mount a coordinated attack on the proceedings, only just barely thwarted in time by the Inquisitor and their companions. Even worse; Solas returns, revealing himself to the Inquisitor as the feared Fen'Harel, Dread Wolf, ancient elven god of lies, betrayal, and rebellion (depending on who you ask).In the end, the Inquisition is transformed into a peacekeeping organization serving the orders of Divine Victoria. Harding parts ways with all but one of her friends. After all, things aren't over quite yet...

❝  CHASING THE WOLF    →   c. 9:44-9:53 Dragon
After the events of the Exalted Council, Varric means to pursue Solas and Harding insists on joining. They spend the better part of a decade chasing the Dread Wolf, running all over Thedas as he works to tear down the Veil;In the Deep Roads they meet Evka Ivo and Antoine, two Grey Wardens that help them discover Venatori involvement on Solas's heels.Vyrantium introduces them to two Antivan Crows, Andarateia "Teia" Cantori and Viago De Riva, as the dwarves discover that both Solas and the Venatori are after an ancient elven artifact lost in the Arlathan Forest.There the two meet Strife and Irelin of the Veil Jumpers, who offer to help them keep the artifact away from Solas and the Venatori. Unfortunately, when the group finally finds where the ancient artifact should be, in its place is a note to Varric from Solas.Harding and Varric then head to Tevinter and meet with famed detective Neve Gallus, who gives them a lead on Solas's recent activity in Minrathous. They rescue some slaves from the Venatori, though this allows Solas to get away. “ Solas knows everything about us. Who we are. How we work. Our strengths and weaknesses. ”  “ Then we find people he doesn’t know. ”

Chasing Solas couldn't last forever. Harding and Varric – along with Rook, a new recruit lending their help at Varric's behest – get in touch with a contact in Tevinter that offers her help as they finally catch up to him. It all goes sideways, and now Solas is trapped in Rook's head and there are two brand new problems to deal with. According to Solas (questionable at best, but who the hell else are they supposed to ask about this?), Elgar'nan and Ghilan'nain will bring ruin to Thedas unless they can stop them.
They're gonna need some help for this one...

ZEVRAN ARAINAI

❝  BACKSTORY    →   c. 9:05-9:30 Dragon
Born to a Dalish woman and an elven woodcutter, Zevran's father was killed by an Antivan Crow, leaving his mother to turn to prostitution to pay off his debt. Zevran was raised in the brothel where his mother worked along with other orphans including Taliesin, alongside whom he was purchased by the Antivan Crows when they were less than 10 years old.The two eventually became a trio of assassins along with Rinna, with whom they also became romantically involved. Rinna was eventually killed by Zevran and Taliesin at the order of the Crows, orchestrated by a member of another House to prevent her from presenting herself as a legitimate heir to the King of Antiva.
 

❝  ORIGINS    →   c. 9:30-9:31 Dragon
Zevran was heartbroken following these events and accepted a contract to kill the remaining Grey Wardens in Ferelden with no intention to succeed on the contract. He did indeed fail to kill Alistair and Shill, who offered him a chance to defend himself and ended up recruiting him to their cause.After the team traveled to Denerim for the Landsmeet, Taliesin caught up with them and offered to take Zevran back to Antiva. The assassin refused, and Taliesin was killed along with the other Crows he brought with him. Zevran stayed with Shill and helped defeat the Archdemon to end the Fifth Blight.Anora Mac Tir officially claimed the throne of Ferelden during the Landsmeet. Morrigan and Alistair completed the dark ritual, allowing him and Shill to slay the Archdemon without sacrificing either of their lives.

❝  DEATH TO THE CROWS    →   c. 9:31-9:37 Dragon
Zevran returns to Antiva with the intention to dismantle the Crows from the inside. He spends years wreaking havoc, managing to kill his and Taliesin's House master, Eoman Arainai, along with four other members of House Arainai, Grandmasters Runn and Availa, Guildmaster of Rialto, as well as having at least two Guildmasters in his pocket.There is much turmoil and tumult within the Crows as a result of Zevran's vendetta. While some of the Houses remain mostly unchanged or are nearly entirely wiped out (House Arainai is greatly weakened following Zevran's targeted assault over the years), other branches of the organization get the message. While the Crows are not fixed by any means, some of their absolute worst practices are abolished among some cities and Houses. It is slow, and the work is not done,  but it is a start. 
 

❝  THE FREE MARCHES    →   c. 9:37 Dragon
Zevran encounters Hawke and co. while hiding from Nuncio, a Crow assassin attempting to track him down and kill him. Hawke doesn't turn him in, instead helping him dispatch of his hunters. In return, Zevran assists Hawke during a later battle against Knight-Commander Meredith after an apostate mage destroys the Chantry in Kirkwall. Varric remembers the assassin, later.

 COMPANIONS . ❝ + Zevran Arainai, Mahariel's vhenan.❝ + Alistair stayed with the Wardens.❝ + Morrigan performed the ritual w Alistair.

 BIOGRAPHY . Feeling rather unmoored and directionless after ending the Fifth Blight, Shill works to bolster the Wardens along with Alistair. By any means necessary. While the two Wardens were fairly close throughout their previous journey, their friendship begins to fracture as Shill's decisions become less and less merciful, and their disposition less empathetic.On top of Shill's work with the Wardens, they also aid Zevran in his pursuit to challenge and dismantle the Crows and keep in fairly close touch with Morrigan and Leliana. Thanks to both of these connections, Shill is able to create contacts and network within Orlais, Ferelden, and Antiva.Driven by their loyalty to elves and increasing frustration with their people's oppression, Shill becomes an Agent of Fen'Harel not long after the mage-Templar war breaks out. This is the last straw in their continuingly-strained relationship with Zevran. Despite their adoration for the former assassin, Shill refuses to abandon their convictions. The two part ways, each heartbroken in their own ways.
