All Soul’s Day -- Once called “Funalis” and dedicated to Dumat, [...] the holiday is now known across Thedas as All Soul’s Day and [is] spent in somber remembrance of the dead.
A gift for @ohhitherecommander as part of the @thedaexchange Halloween Exchange. The prompt was the mythos and traditions of Thedas that touch on the passing of souls, and the honoring of the dead across cultures. I had to do quite a bit of research for this one.
For the illustration, Alistair seemed an appropriate choice to represent All Soul’s Day. He grieves so heavily for Duncan, and with unmatched faith and sorrow. Behind him, Falon’Din, the Elven god of Death and Fortune, guides souls into the Beyond.
