#codex game

Omg Hi!! Tysm for asking :3 Sorry for the delay {IRL has been BUSY this week} {Answers Under the Cut} So, I already answered 13 & 16 which is posted Here !

25 is such an interesting idea, I know Az's younger backstory but haven't had a chance to write it yet so this was a super awesome chance to start that process with some of Az's journal entries! {1 is from when he was 12 and the 2nd from when he's 15} 25. Notes taken by Rook when they were young/in training!

2 - An entry from Rook’s journal

Emmrich asked me what I want him to do with my body after I die. Am I supposed to have an answer? Why is everyone I meet so godsdamn weird? I love them all, but kaffas.

I never really had to think about it until now. I always kind of assumed I’d be dead in some back alley or bleeding out on the beach. Maybe the Lords would find me and give me a proper funeral. Maybe not. I just told him I’d get back to him on it. I’m not planning on dying anytime soon. Boy, would that be awkward.

5 - A conversation between Rook and a companion

Davrin: Antoine sent word about the samples we collected. He needs us in Hossberg to talk.

Rook: (groans)

Davrin: (laughs) You’re the boss, you have to go.

Rook: I know, I know. It’s just…

Davrin: Gross, blighted, and cold?

Rook: And wet. Don’t forget wet.

Davrin: It’s the Wetlands. It’s in the name.

Rook: Let’s try to find the dry lands next time? The warm lands? The “strong drinks and a nap” lands?

Davrin: Let’s see if Harding can scout for some on the way back.

Rook,

Thanks @bubblecat-co for the ask. I am slowly making my way through these. I may switch lanes for a bit and answer a few dialogue asks because these codices are tricky.

28 - Propaganda for or against Rook

*Excerpt from The Minrathous Mirror*

Trouble in the city? Is Minrathous under attack? Suspicions arose when seeing known enemy of Tevinter, the Inquisitor meeting with a runaway slave at Dock Town’s famous tavern, The Cobbled Swan. Who is this “Rook,” many are asking. Several magisters reached out to assure my readers that rumors of a slave uprising are false and that the city is safe from Inquisition influence. If anyone has information on the identity and whereabouts of this “Rook,” citizens are encouraged to report them to Knight-Commander Lenos, who assures that they will answer for their transgressions against our city.

30 - A note/letter that Rook never sent

Mom,

I’m not even sure why I’m writing this. You’re gone. You’ve been gone for years. A letter won’t change anything. Emmrich said talking to the dead can help ease the living. Not sure if that’s still true when it’s been this long, but I promised him I’d try.

You’d like Emmrich. He’s one of the friends I made. Remember when you’d tell me to make some friends? Well, I don’t know if you can really remember things. I’m still shaky on how all of this really works. But that’s not the point. I finally made some damn friends (language, I know.)

I joined up with the Lords of Fortune. They’re good people. Mostly. Isabela’s their leader. She’s that pirate woman I used to sneak off to talk to on the docks. She remembered me and everything.

I know you really cared about our culture as elves. I met some Dalish. They would’ve talked about their culture and their gods with you for hours. Probably showed you some weird ancient elvhen artifacts too. Things are…complicated with them now - the gods, I mean. It’s hard to tell where all of us stand on it - elves, I mean. You and Strife would’ve talked about it until your lips fell off. Strife’s another friend of mine - sort of. He’s a friend of Bellara’s, who’s a friend of mine.

I’ve changed a lot since you died. For better or worse. I don’t know if you’d be proud of everything I’ve done. Probably not everything, but it all got me here, so that can’t be too bad, right? I’m saving the world so that’s pretty crazy. I hope I get it right. If I do, I promise I’ll make it better than it was when I lost you. If I don’t, I guess I’ll see you again soon enough. Here’s hoping I figure it out.

Your favorite kid,

These prompts were hard for my brain. So I have, against my usual habit, answered them out of order. Thank you @larknnightingale (one of your prompts anyway) and @teamtakagi for the asks
