Ferelden, 8:82 Blessed.

The Orlesian occupation rules the land with an iron fist while revolutionaries fight and die under the Rebel Queen's banner. As the recently promoted Knight-Corporal of Kinloch Hold's Circle of Magi, you are a proud member of the Templar Order, a 'politically neutral' force for good in this time of great darkness. So when your Knight-Captain absconds with a heavily pregnant mage, you are assigned the arduous task of hunting them down—as quickly and as discreetly as possible.

Yet all is not what it seems. Malevolent forces prowl both the dreaming and waking worlds, and a betrayal from within your ranks forces a choice: deliver the child to a distant safe haven, or die. Now saddled with a newborn and with no real alternatives, you find yourself leading an eclectic group of outcasts through a land torn apart by civil war, where loyalties, allegiances, and faith will all be put to the ultimate test.

Story & Features

A story-rich interactive fanfic set during the Orlesian occupation of Ferelden, about fifty years before the events of DAO.

Make choices and face outcomes, but be warned: the consequences are not always yours to pay.

Customizable PC including appearance, name, and gender identity.

Choose from four different backgrounds to determine your surname and unique starting origin in the Prologue.

Are you merciless or empathetic? Loyal or rebellious? Devout or questioning? Unlock special dialogues and actions through sheer force of personality.

Balance your lyrium gauge to utilize powerful templar abilities...or don't. Only good dogs heed the leash.

Multiple endings for both the main story and individual companions, including romances.

Companions & Romance

Lead a group of five companions through civil war-torn Ferelden and beyond. Form connections: influence and be influenced in return.

Will you cultivate an unbreakable bond with a friend, or earn the begrudging respect of a rival? Featuring a DA2-inspired friendship/rivalry system.

Pursue one of four romance options with or without your pants on (ace friendly). Two options for PCs of all genders, one for male & nonbinary PCs, and one for female & nonbinary PCs.

Sometimes a crew is six strangers, a weird baby, and a dog. The dog's name is customizable; the baby's is not.

I get really frustrated by the argument on Tumblr of "voting is just one step, it's not the only thing you can do!" because I can never tell if that person is saying "your activist credentials aren't hurt by voting, you can still do all those other things!" - which is true! and good! and some people need to hear it! - or "it's just one of many types of activism that you can do, it's one option" - BAD. It is not. It is the foundational step. You can't really do all that other stuff, or can't do it as well and as effectively, if you don't have the infrastructure in place that you create by voting in the right people and voting out the wrong ones.

This is especially weird given that the Republican Party is increasingly flirting with the idea of violent retaliation against peaceful protesters - and that our history is replete with examples of that happening when they did it in places with hostile politicians, e.g. the civil rights movement in Southern states. Yeah, that imagery ultimately helped them, but it's not the 1960s anymore, we don't have three TV channels everyone watches, you can't guarantee that the people who most need to see it will, or without it being filtered through a bunch of bullshit demonizing the protesters. And a lot of people died or were otherwise hurt in the process, and their lives should matter to you. And a lot of how we ultimately defeated that was because the federal law forced Southern states to comply with all that. Because the people in the federal government making these decisions (like LBJ) were open to the cause of civil rights - which was one of the reasons that civil rights activists made voter registration so key to their efforts in 1964! It wasn't a thing that the activists in those states were able to force on racist, hostile politicians in places like Alabama without help from other people they voted for in the federal government.

There are lots of dedicated activists in Texas who want to help women there get abortions in every way they can; they still could only do so much once it was totally banned there, once Roe fell, and now their work is largely focused on helping Texas women travel out of state. The nationally-celebrated abortion clinic where I lived in Austin had to close and move to New Mexico after the Dobbs decision. Who is in power matters. The laws they pass matter. The way you do something about that? You fucking vote.

Likewise, a lot of this website and the broader left-wing Internet seems to acknowledge that trans rights are way worse in red states like Texas, Florida, Oklahoma, etc. than in blue states like on the West Coast or in New England/the Mid-Atlantic, or even in purple states with Dems in power (e.g. Michigan, Minnesota, Arizona, Pennsylvania). Same with reproductive rights. Okay, why do you think that is? Do you think the activists in Michigan or Massachusetts just care more than the ones in Montana? Or do you think it perhaps has something to do with who's passing laws? And why do you think this pattern holds so consistently in terms of whether that state is run by Democrats or Republicans??? In Michigan and Arizona in particular, they got where they are specifically because voters rejected extreme Republican policies en masse.

Hi. My name is Elsa Fogen, no it's not a real name. You can also know me as Queen of Angst and Goddes of HyperGlass. I love hurting people 😇

NO AI USED TO CREATE ART HERE, AND I FORBID USING MY WORKS TO TRAIN AI.

Masterpost of my Hazbin AUs and comics

This blog is 18+, be aware (but there is no sexual content, and won't be ever) (i lied, there is like one comic now that is kind of?? you'll know which one)

In this house we respect ace, aro and aroace and it's a safe space for sex- and/or romance-repulsed aro+aces. I'm aroace btw (at least i think so), and tend to headcanon my favs as such as well (shout out to aroace Icy, Bill Cipher, Rumi and Hunter)

Apparently, I'm chaotic neutral. Also i have ADHD, so, bare with me. I can get carried away in the middle of the post.

I sometimes use words like bro, man, dude, girl/gurl, lad in a gender-neutral way, don't take it personally.

Also, english isn't my first language (first language is russian), please be patient with me, when my sentenses sound weird or i make stupid mistakes. I can't consult with google translate over every word all the time 🤣

Sometimes i can be sarcastic or sound passive-aggresive and i'm sorry in advance, i didn't mean to be mean. If i mean to be mean, you'll know it from other context clues. Most of the time.

Currently in my 2nd Hazbin Hotel obsession era. My other fandoms, that you can find here were: Winx Club (Icy), The Owl House (Hunter), Kpop Demon Hunters, Hollow Knight + Silksong, Undertale, Murder Drones, Gravity Falls. Also i have a side-blog about Rain World: @elsa-rain-world-stuff
