Thank you!

Canonically, Armand chose the Mages. (Though in terms of gameplay, I prefer the Templar route. Haha.)

If Kieran joined the Veilguard, how would he get along with Rook and the other companions?

I think he’d generally get along well with everyone. He’d probably come across as very polite and maybe a tad bit too inquisitive.

My headcanon with how he ends up joining the Veilguard : it’s entirely a random event wherein he chances upon Rook and company. Perhaps in Arlathan while they’re trying to investigate some sort of Elven artifact that could help them. And he just casually dumps legit elven lore and information to them like it’s nothing.

As a companion, he’d be totally vague about his parents. Until one day, they do bump into Morrigan with him in the party. And he just casually drops “Hello, mother”. (He just doesn’t understand how much of a Big Deal ™ his parents are.)

Bellara - I could see them geeking out over artifacts together. Probably has a big crush on Bel.

Neve - Kieran is really inquisitive and would probably pester Neve about her adventures. He’d find her work fascinating.

Davrin - davrin might get a bit suspicious on how Kieran knows a lot about Grey Warden lore. But eventually, they end up bonding over Grey Warden stuff. Kieran would probably just casually say “oh my dad is the Hero of Ferelden”.

Lucanis - Lucanis may or may not get weirded out by Kieran trying to figure out how the thing with Lucanis and Spite works. They’d probably bond over cooking, and Kieran would end up learning a lot from Lucanis.

Harding - Kieran knows how it feels to deal with something intertwined with oneself and not totally understand it. So he offers to help Lace come to terms or at least try to figure out what is going on with her. Lace doesn’t recognize him at first since they didn’t really talk when Morrigan and Kieran were in Skyhold.

Taash - lmao I imagine Kieran could potentially creep out Taash at first. Especially when he’s a bit cryptic.
