Little knowledge remains of the great war the Tevinter Imperium waged upon the elves of Arlathan. Many human scholars believe that Arlathan was the only elven settlement of note, and that if elves existed elsewhere on the continent their forces were at best negligible. My conversations with the Dalish, however, indicate that there was a time when the elves had many cities, and it's possible that the elven civilization declined long before the Imperium entered the height of its power.

@enasalin‘s Inquisitor Elera, resolved on what’s to come and prepared for whatever the outcome. 

This card was such a thrill to work on. I was really inspired by the colors of  Stev'nn Hall’s paintings (check them out, they’re just gorgeous, though the ones I like best are the 2015 paintings). I wanted to make something really vibrant, especially since it’s in the Fade. All the color made this very challenging, but I’m so happy with how it turned out!

Little knowledge remains of the great war the Tevinter Imperium waged upon the elves of Arlathan.

An example of such a place is Sundermount in the Vimmark Mountains near Kirkwall. According to Dalish legend, this was a burial site for elders and the location of a great battle between Imperial and elven forces-- nowhere near Arlathan (if one believes the city was near the forest of the same name in northeastern Thedas).

The arcane warriors that remained at the mountain to defend their slumbering elders were known as Enasalin'abelas or "sorrowful victory". These elves knew they were going to die, but were bound by duty to protect their charges. The enchanted armor that belonged to these warriors was looted by the Imperial victors, so pieces that resurface today are considered relics of great importance.

Enasalin

Here’s my take on Enasalin, a character from @lafaiette ‘s Solavellan fanfic Var Lath. 

Enasalin struck me hard. He’s such a selfless, cheerful character and I love how compassionate he is towards Scarlet and firm (at times) towards Solas. I won’t get into much detail, fearing I would spoil it for those who haven’t read it yet. Please read it, here’s the link for the fic on Tumblr, and here’s one on Lafaiette’s AO3! She also has loads of other Solavellan fanfic that I always go back to, as well as reading other ones on the daily.
