we know that the dalish believe that humans—or at least the first humans—came from par vollen in the north. there’s no information on if they originated in par vollen (which is an island chain. that’s crazy. for some reason i totally thought it was just the edge of a northern continent) or if they came from anywhere before that. we’re told par vollen was home to an ancient human civilisation before the qunari ever arrived there, people who built pyramids and “vast cities”. the humans of par vollen are so disregarded now by the andrastian world that it’s interesting to think of them as probably the first defining human culture that the elves and dwarves of thedas glimpsed across the sea

i’m inclined to take the dalish elves’ word for it that the first human settlers in thedas were from there, as starting from the north does seem to geographically make sense, since the first humans settled in the tevinter region, along the coast of the nocen sea. these were a particular tribe called the “neromenians”

I've gone. Not one for goodbyes, I thought it best to slip out quietly. Love to you all, Giles.

“Yet it is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till. What weather they shall have is not ours to rule.”

but then I realised that same challenge would be infinitely more funny with folks who have atypical or horror OCs
