Hi ! You can call me Arisha, or Risha ! (She/her) I'm a 29 yo French bi nb/girl(??) who's struggling with english grammar lmao 😐 Sorry for the NUMEROUS typos. They will exist.
Everything I post myself is under #personal tag.
You can see my stuff in #my art and #my writing tags. I take some times to translate / write in English so bear with me :)
You can send as many asks as you wish about my OCs ; I have a #ask game list tag you can access easily. The answers are put in the #ask game answers ! (+ tag game when i am... tagged)
And if you have some ideas for something to draw with them, just send an ask 💖 You can also tag me in games, i love it !
My original DA characters under the cut 💖 (with links)
Despite them vastly being in heterosexual-looking relationships, nobody here is heterosexual lmao. 😔 I have some OC introduction posts in preparation but there's a looot I want to show you, so I'll take my time ! (Also i'm distracted and sometimes i forget)
The link directs to their respective tags if it exists.
Kallian Tabris, HoF-Rook, f!rogue, Warden-Commander of Ferelden, romanced a King Alistair in DA:O. Demisexual. They had a really difficult relationship because of all of their traumas (her origin, the blight, Morrigan's ritual) + Alistair's new title and marrying Anora + being this young. They separated a bit after DA:A ; she had a child she hid from him and that Zevran helped to raise. She's also my canon Rook and romances Davrin. Her story continuing in DA:V helped her go past her regrets and find some peace. After everything ended, she let go of her duty as a warden (because she's traumatized enough).
Marian Hawke, f!rogue Hawke who romanced a trans Anders. Bisexual. They helped a lot of mages to flee the falling Circles but ultimately also separated after DA:I, because they grew apart and Marian hated that he lied to her. She's very pro mage rights. Kallian helped them with the Circles in between DA2 and DA:I. After that, she goes back to Kirkwall and romanced Varric after a few years. They are both okay (for now ??).
Ennera Lavellan, Inquisitor f!mage quiet and joyful, but also deadly furious with everything that is going wrong with the world. Bisexual. She lost almost all her clan (because I can't make good decisions on this game) but her best friend survived. Their clan was also a victim of the Blight and she fought at Denerim with the other dalish hunters. She romances Cullen and later on builds a family of 3 with him. They are shy and very autistic (+ADHD for her) and also happy. I love them dearly.
Aodren Lavellan, m!rogue a bit cocky but fun and deadly. Gay. He considers himself Ennera's brother and bodyguard. He survived the attack on their clan and joined the Inquisition after the Winter Palace and the Adamant Fortress. Aodren romanced his beloved Dorian and later on accompanied him in Minrathous. He has 2 little twin sisters who are a nightmare to raise.
Tahlen Tabris, m!mage/warrior, fun and joyful, can't stay in one place. Probably bisexual ?? He's Kallian and Alistair's son, so a royal bastard as was his father. He has cute little pointy ears indicating his father was not as fully human as we thought. He inherited Theirin's blood, which I headcanon as being a cure / giving some sort of immunity to the Blight. Since he is born, his mother can't sense darkspawn if they are not extremely close to her. He loves dearly his big brother Kieran and his little royal brothers and sisters, is the beloved child of the Grey Warden Order in Ferelden, and has too many parental figures : Zevran is his dad, Anders is secondary dad and Nathaniel is his secondary dad-in-law. He almost hates Alistair so he's not even at the 3rd place lmao... He's very interested in technomagic and in healing magic and adopted too many traits from Zev and Anders. I imagine him joining some of Veilguard crew after the Double Blight to explore the world with them. Bellara and him will surely bond over destroying repairing artifacts. I have too many things to tell about him.
More secondary characters / those I developed less.
Nirie Surana, f!mage who helped Kallian and her crew during the Blight, became a warden after the beginning of the mage-templar war. She's a blood mage and infiltrated Clarel's mages circle during the whole Corypheus thing. She's romancing Leliana. Or trying to ?? Still didn't thought too much about it. She's the first crush of Cullen, but she never reciprocated his feelings as she is a (mean) lesbian. (Mean with Alistair, not with Cullen. Cullen was her... kind of friend.)
Charles Reeves, m!rogue/warrior and former Templar. Bisexual. Everybody calls him Reeves because there are too many Charles everywhere. He's one of Cullen's brother in arms who joined the Inquisition after the beginning of the mage-templar war and one of his lieutenants. He's happily married and the father of a little girl, and is judging quietly everyone around who is struggling to flirt with their beloved one. He only exists because I KNEW Cullen had a second in command but I couldn't find his name..... so now he has two, and they are both bullying him. I grew attached to him :(
Steph, f!mage who romanced Solas, charming, wise, but also teasing. Bisexual I think ?? She's one of my friends OC and part of my canon universe ; I'll probably show some art of her sometimes ♥ She's Dorian's and Ennera's best friend. She also hates Vivienne's guts but only because they are weirdly similar and is in an unhealthy competition with her lmao. The woman loves ancient magic and would totally be okay using blood magic... just for... science. She does not. Yet. She ultimately has 2 children with Solas. Surprise pregnancy, not fun. And I'm not even to blame !! (My friend would probably love to see someone being interested in her so if you have some questions, let's go !)

I was born far away from it, surrounded by forests, fields, rivers and lakes. I didn’t see the sea for the first time until I was about seventeen, when I finally traveled to the Black Sea.
Before I got married, I traveled and spent my holidays by the sea whenever I could. I never needed a swimming pool. I could spend hours by the water, watching sunrises and sunsets. It never felt too hot or too cold. I simply loved being there.
After I met my husband, we started spending more time at lakes instead. I adapted to his interests because I wanted us to spend more time together.
And then the children came, and I brought the sea back into my life ,but in a very different way.
Anyone who has children will probably understand. Sand gets everywhere, the sea is salty, their eyes sting, the beach is too hot… and somehow the swimming pool always wins.So for almost ten years now, most of my holidays have been spent by the pool.But wherever we travel, I still try to find my way back to the sea. Even if it’s only for a short walk, just to look at it, or to sit quietly on the shore in the evening and watch the sun disappear.
This painting came from one of those evenings in 2021.
Some things in our lives change completely. But somehow, we keep finding little ways back to the things we love.
“But I wanna know!” You’re gonna have to learn to be ok with not knowing some things, especially when those things involve personal details about strangers that they’re not comfortable sharing.
“But it’s confusing!” If you take the time to educate yourself it’ll no longer be confusing. Otherwise you’re just gonna have to learn to be ok with being confused.
“But it’s weird!” You probably do weird things all the time. Everyone does weird things sometimes. Life goes on.
“But it scares me!” Is it hurting you? No? You’ll be fine. Being scared and being harmed are not always the same thing. Learn to tell the difference and then act accordingly.
“But I want it!” And I want a million dollars. You can’t always get what you want.
"But it makes me uncomfortable!" The world is an uncomfortable place and complete strangers are not required to fix that for you. Learning to endure harmless discomfort is a life skill for existing in public.
"But I don't like it!" There's plenty of things in the world and not all of them are fun or enjoyable or For You. This applies to everyone and we all have to deal with that in a mature fashion.
"But I want to do the thing!" You can't always do what you want. Most people learn this in preschool. Wanting something does not entitle you to be inconsiderate to the people around you.

in peak conditions, you could comfortably get up to 150 m/day
these boat speeds include some margin for days when little progress is made vs days when lots of progress is made
for bad weather, just add on a day or two i guess
other modes of transport
horse & cart: 10 m/day
fully laden soldier: 15 m/day
rowing: 3 m/hour (quite fast, 1 mile can be covered in anything from 15 to 45 mins depending on how experienced you are/what type of boat you’re using)
pigeons can fly for up to 60h without stopping, but they’re migratory birds & therefore used to flying long distances, which ravens are not
so let’s say for the sake of argument that ravens can fly for 20h without stopping. while some days it may fly for more or less time, over a course of a journey this should even itself out
Quick addendum: the Waking Sea and the seas north of Tevinter are inland seas, which mean galleys become a viable mode of transport. They’re less economical than pure sailing ships because they’re powered by manpower, but under combat conditions they can reach dash speeds of up to 10 knots, though that can’t be sustained for more than 20 minutes – less if you expect the rowers to be in any condition to fight afterwards. Still, 10 minutes at 10 knots makes galleys veritable lightning bruisers under good conditions, and military powers bordering on those inland seas would use them. Travel speed at an average of 3-4 knots (under sail with intermittent rowing) would be about 5-6 km/h or 3-4 miles/h. Since you probably wouldn’t be sailing your galley at night, average distance travelled per day would be determined by latitude and season. For a 12 hour day, that’s 66 km or 42 miles, so about 1 1/3 units on your map.
Your average laden medieval cog would probably make only about 5 knots on average, with 11 being the absolute maximum under peak conditions. Again, sailing at night may not be an option, so distance travelled in a day would be about 116km or 68 miles. The downside compared to a galley is that you have no alternative means of propulsion and cannot simply go “speed her up, I want to ram that motherfrakking bastard” but have to rely on the wind. Since winds change with seasons, at least on earth, that makes sailing a calendar-based endeavour. On the other hand, cogs do not need nearly as large a crew to man, can take on more cargo, and have more draught for more turbulent waters.

Thanks go to @alder-berry for pointing out this lovely and interesting speculative ethnolinguistic map of Thedas by Bardofrosenheim on Deviantart. It should be noted that while this is derived from canon sources, it is debatable, but it’s a pretty amazing bit of work and a fantastic starting point to look at while thinking of languages in Thedas. Since no date is included on the map, we assume this is meant to be circa ~9:40 Dragon.
To go along with, here’s the DA wiki’s page on languages in Thedas.
