Its actually so upsetting how many cool 'factions' i guess are completely under utilised in dragon age. Like i've talked about the legion of dead many times and the fact they're not in veilgaurd is a joke. But another group of people that should have been used is the bards.
When i think about it a new faction made up of bards would have been the perfect rook faction. Like leliana sets up a faction of bards independent of the inquisition/chantry to gather info and the like and make moves across thedas. Like this makes way more sense for rook to have joined up with varric than any of the other factions bar the shadow dragons and the veil jumpers.
And before anyone says that the bards are rogues, it was a rogue specialisation may i draw your attention to the crows. Just cause it was used as a specialisation doesn't mean that all the spies are rogues look at iron bull and who better to infiltrate tevinter than a mage.
I really like all the factions in veilgaurd but rook feels secondary to the companion from their faction. Rook should be the character of their faction.
Also if they made this faction we could have more of leliana's spies from inquisition show up. I think she wouldn't be the faction leader whether she was made devine or not i think it would and should be charter. And i don't think lace would be offically apart of this faction, maybe she'd join once her mission with varric was done or have planned to🥲. I think to her until solas is dealt with she's still on inquisition business.
