🐍 ✨ Dorian Week 2026

[I didn’t hear about @dorianweek until quite late, but wanted to submit something! Here’s a little description I wrote and submitted for a fan project application earlier this year.]

The Archon’s grand study is alive with the whirring and buzzing of dozens of arcane gadgets. Delicate constructions spin in tightly controlled circles, drawing lines on what appears to be a map of some sort, though the parchment isn’t graced by any typical evidence of land or oceans. Another device emits steam at regular intervals, making a popping sound before a viscous green liquid drips into a crystal vial, the entire solution disappearing just when the vial seems like it might overflow. A third device quickly scribbles out messages in what appears to be a code derived from a combination of ancient Neromenian script and Tevene syntax.

Even more impressive than the completed works are the mountain of ideas in various states of progress or abandonment, resting beneath the high vaulted ceilings and intricate mahogany paneling of the room. The majority of these artifacts have purposes that can only be guessed at, though it has been said that the Archon is more than happy to give tours of his study himself, particularly to enterprising young students of the arcane.

Pages and pages of notes, references, and scholarly works line the shelves of every available surface and the size of this personal library alone would put many academic institutions to shame. Notebooks are numbered, yes, but in a scheme that has apparent meaning only to the author himself.

The study, overall, is best described as “loosely controlled chaos”. Of course, the Archon himself needs no true organization to the room; anything he needs he can simply summon with the wave of his hand.

@dorianweek Day 3 - Night at the Ball

Dorian misses his chance to dance out on the balcony at Halamshiral, but the Inquisitor makes it up to him later that night.

Dorian has to get something off his chest from the travel back in time at Redcliffe, and the Inquisitor isn't prepared. Leliana discovers she is up next.

Written for @dorianweek with the First Impressions prompt as a bit of a play on it with the time travel quest.
