"Love" originates from "Lavellan"

Did you know BioWare made individual heraldries for the elven pantheon? Because I didn’t, until I was looking at all the heraldry textures in the toolset. I really wonder why they weren’t used!

h_gddofhhma_0: I think this one is for Sylaise. It was Sylaise who taught the elves how to use herbs for healing.

h_gdofhunta_0: Obviously by the file name this is Andruil. I love this one. because I love the ever so popular dancing lion heraldries. Especially ones decorated with fleurs-de-lis.

h_gdofdhfna_0: I think this one is Falon’din. It very much resembles his vallaslin in all variations, (DA:O and DA:I). The Dalish also believe in life coming from death, which could be the symbolism of the flower growing with the roots below.

h_gdofgnava_0: Again, based on the file name, this must be Ghilan'nain. Interestingly enough this heraldry was repurposed as a symbol for the Sabrae clan. Their alternate one used in DA:2 is also of a halla, which makes me wonder if perhaps they have particular reverence for Ghilan’nain? 

h_gdofcrfta_0: The file name makes this clear it’s June. That, and the way the trees shape into a frame is very similar to June’s vallaslin too. (In DA:O and DA:I.)

h_gdofvenga_0: Bless some of these file names. I think this is Elgar'nan. It’s very thorn-y, and also has a similar shape as this sculpture for him.*

h_gdofsekna_0: It’s easy to assume this is Dirthamen. It’s a book, so, knowledge. Plus the file name might be short for ‘secrets’. 

*But this leaves one question. Where is Mythal? Maybe I missed it, or maybe they never made one for her. But there is one alternate idea I have: Maybe the one for Elgar’nan is also for her. Given that they’re both at the top together, and also the whole justice/vengeance duel nature theme the series has had since forever, it’s quite possible.
