so i know i never actually made a whole post about it (and frankly i am far too lazy to make it multi para+ length and pretty) but i wanted to throw back out there that i DO have a warden cailan verse for the dao folks if anyone is Inchrested
main points are below the cut (if u care); as a warning it is extremely canon divergent
rather than succumb to his wounds (and the blight. he is blighted; if he didn't die from the wounds, he would have died from the taint), cailan is very much (unfortunately, sufferingly for him) alive following the ogre attack at ostagar, but just barely. actively dying, though. surviving out of sheer spite at that point.
upon the army's retreat, flemeth swoops in to save alistair, the warden, and subsequently, cailan. but she keeps the latter a secret.
when the warden & co arrive in the wilds to retrieve the grimoire and kill flemeth, she uses the "assumed late-king" as a bargaining chip. she's kept him alive, just barely, and on purpose. if the warden were to kill her, cailan himself would die shortly thereafter. but if flemeth is allowed to live, they can take cailan, perform the joining, and maybe he lives. maybe he doesn't. either way, it's a chance they didn't know they had before.
he survives the joining (something juicy about alistair performing the joining from memory for a second time, this time on his older brother 👁️👁️) both theirin boys are now tainted. yaaaaay. 🎊
ofc once it becomes obvious that loghain betrayed him/wants the wardens dead (thanks, zev), they decide to keep his status a secret.
upon their journey to the circle, redcliffe, and orzammar, rumors begin to spread that king cailan did survive, but they spread slowly. by the time anything concrete has reached denerim, it's late-game.
if bhelen becomes king and restores the aeducan rule in orzammar, he is easily recruited to the warden cause, as king endrin and maric were once friends.
during his time on the road, cailan realizes that he was not the king ferelden deserved, nor one that even came close to the legacy his father left him; the warden can either a) encourage him to abdicate and leave the throne to anora or b) maintain his role as king, but use the knowledge and perspective he's obtained as a warden to be a better king, man, and husband.
edit: or, secret third option, he can sacrifice himself to kill the archdemon teehee (thank you, @bloodlaurel)

You made this man. now create another. create his double &&. let the two contend. let stormy heart contend with stormy heart that peace may come to Uruk once again. Aruru listened &&. heard &&. then created out of earth clay &&. divine spittle the double, the stormy-hearted other, Enkidu. the hairy-bodied wild man of the grasslands, powerful as Ninurta the god of war, the hair of his head like the grain fields of the goddess, naked as Sumuqan the god of cattle. he feeds upon the grasslands with gazelles; visits the watering places with the creatures whose hearts delight, as his delights, in water.

thinks about how much of teru’s personality is his actually identity versus how much of him is constructed by his family. being an idealistic representation of the family’s expectations.
verse development :
the white tiger ( bái hǔ / byakko ) is the protector of their village, of their land, crops && people. every generation a vessel is chosen, that individual will become inhabited by the tiger’s spiritual essence && for that generation is considered the protector of the people.
the vessel inherits innate abilities of the tiger such as enhanced speed, reflexes, heightened senses of hearing, sight && taste but also, have the ability to interact && speak with the spirit on a different plain of existence through meditation, often the vessels will seek counsel from the tiger deity in times of peril.
the person, as the beast that inhabits their body are revered by the people, often celebrated in festivals, they are bestowed gifts by the people && sometimes even their guests or travellers ( these are infrequent as only the elders are permitted to invite outsiders into the village && do so with great care ) even having shrines dedicated to the tiger where they will gather in mass to pray for things such as a bountiful harvest.
