#injector

For those of you that want to avoid this comic, I’m putting anything that becomes graphic under #Trigger Warning. Also, until I get a better idea of what to call these I’m listing it as #SU AU Gone Wrong.

Not everything I have planned is going to be as messy as these first pages have been. I’ve noticed that there isn’t a lot of ‘gore’ art in the Steven Universe fandom, at least that I have seen in my searches. I understand that this all can be a bit jarring to come across for those who don’t expect it. Some of that is intentional, I’m trying to mimic the show style as much as possible to have that double-taking nature to it. That being said, I also don’t want to deeply upset anyone.

So again, if you want to avoid pages with graphic material the tag is:

#Trigger Warning

If you want to avoid the story entirely:

Darvaarad Barracks

As we continue exploring this place, we see that they have a Vault door system that made me remember the Dwarven engineering we saw in the Awakening expansion when we reached the gates built by the dwarves under Vigil's Keep to keep the darkspawn at bay.

Cole drops here one of his lines, implying what we will know by Solas' words: the energy of the Anchor is the energy of the Veil, accumulated by millennia, so this piece of energy that the Anchor is and the Veil try to be together.

The exploration of the barracks have not much to offer. 

There is a unique statue that according to the book Art of Inquisition, they belong to Ferelden art, even though I was a bit inclined to think these were part of the Qunari decoration. Of course, there are banners of the Qun everywhere.

The interior architecture of the fortress keeps showing Ferelden style. Haven had a lot of these details, specially in its basement.

Study

We find a study room where more artefacts can be seen:

We find elements that we had seen a lot in DAI, DA2 and even DAO, like these books with the windmill drawing. There is an elvhen artefact, and a very strange ball which glows in green and one may suspect it related to the Fade.

In this study we read several codices: Letters and Replies, where we see a series of letter that Josephine sent to the Triumvirate of the Qunari, who claims that the Viddasala took her own initiative to lead the operation of Dragon Breath without their approval. We also find the Dragon Breath Plan  and Orders Posted in the Factory where we learn the recipe for the primers of gaatlok [big secret along the whole series of DA games].

On the main desk of the study we see a Tevinter mini-Inspector in front of the skull of the dragon.

Leaving the study and heading to the Factory of Gaatlock, we see along the corridors some side cells where we find objects like “injectors” which glow with a yellowish energy, so they may have still some kind of power, and Dragon skulls.

Gaatlok Factory and Venom Extraction Chamber

At the end of the corridor, we find a big room where a dragon is kept prisoner. Close to this place we find  Animal Handler's Logbook: written by a human woman recently joined to the Qun. Here we learn that one of the components of the Gaatlok is dragon venom. We see again that the qunari appreciate the dragons, calling it Ataashi, as Iron Bull did in the game.

Once we deal with the Dragon, we cross the bridge where we find the Viddasala and several qunari in front of the eluvian that will direct us to the abandoned elven City. Behind the eluvian there is a Golden Ring and a pair of mosaics of Fen'Harel.
