[midnightwind]

[leo-regulus]

Man, knowing that I'm less than two weeks from my last final is really shaking me because I have so many things I said I'd do after I graduate and they're very close now!!!

One of them is going to be leaving all the discord servers I don't talk in and also pruning following / friends lists like hell and back. This will allow me to finally come off invisible on discord, and it'll be nice to have discord statuses available to me again ;~;

THORA CADASH

triggers: drug use/drug trade

Notes

I write Inquisition as having been about three years, not one. I do make the time between Trespasser and Veilguard shorter for the sake of the timeline, so Veilguard still takes place in 9:52 Dragon.

Thora's criminal past becomes common knowledge, although what she did is subject to rumour.

Her default Hero of Ferelden is an f!Paragon Aeducan (Tamar Aeducan) written by Joly. I am happy to write with others, naturally.

Iander Lavellan (@theshirallen) is a canon companion/agent in her story.

Any choices she made in-game can be changed to respect the other writer's choices/preferences regarding their character (for example, Thora will always recruit the mages, but if you prefer human!Cole I would defer to the Cole rper).

Basics

Nickname(s): Sunflower, Salroka Title(s): Inquisitor, First-Thaw, Cometesse, Herald of Andraste Profession: Carta smuggler (formerly) Age: 32 (in Inquisition) Birthday: 4th Solace, 9:9 Dragon Race: Dwarf Gender/Pronouns: Cis Woman, She/Her Orientation: Bisexual

Personality

Faith has always been one of the driving motivations in Thora’s life. Faith in the Chant, faith in the Stone, and faith in the people around her. Her willingness to cooperate and spread work around aided her when she found herself leading a small team of smugglers. As a leader she’s personable, and inspires more loyalty in her subordinates than she often realises. The one person she has very little faith in is herself. She has a tendency to second-guess herself and rarely takes credit for her accomplishments, preferring instead to spread the praise to others.

History

Born in Ostwick to the infamous Cadash family. Thora was given two choices: marry rich, or join the Carta. She had no interest in finding a suitable husband, and so as soon as she was physically capable she joined the Carta alongside her brother, Tetrak. For most of her teenage years she was used as a unassuming mule for lyrium deals, a non-threatening presence that rarely drew the eye of the authorities. It was among the Carta she received her casteless brand, the mark meant she was as good as dust, but at least she was apart of something.

Her first real assignment was in Amaranthine. After the Fifth Blight the Cadash family were ready to get a foothold in Ferelden, with the Ferelden Circle decimated and the Templars in disarray it was easy enough for her team to move in. In Amaranthine she witnessed the the destruction of most of the city, but her team were able to make it out with a tidy profit to show for it.

From Ferelden she was sent to Kirkwall alongside her brother. They arrived at the height of tension between the Chantry and the Qunari. Her brother, moved by the purpose and acceptance the Qunari offered, joined their ranks. Thora was left isolated, establishing ties in the fracturing Templar and mage ranks. She didn’t hear from Tetrak until months after the Qunari attack, in a letter which urged her to join him.

Thora remained in Kirkwall, withdrawing a few months before the Chantry explosion set the Mage-Templar War in motion. When the Conclave was called in 9:41 Dragon, she and a team of Carta dwarves were sent to the summit, knowing the decision would impact the lyrium trade as surely as it would the mages.

Verses

v; once more unto the breach ( thora | inqusition ) default. open.

She was a mistake, an oversight- she was supposed to be dead. Whether it was sheer luck that saved her or divine intervention Thora stumbled from the Breach, broken, but breathing.

Before that day she had never been anyone, at least so far as everyone else was concerned. Most days she was lucky if people used her name, she'd been trained to answer to 'dwarf' and worse, 'Herald' took some adjusting, and 'Inquisitor' took more. Yet Thora is determined to do the most with her newfound power, knowing it was broken before any holes tore the sky in two.

Main choices: Mages allied, Celene rules alone, took the Well of Mythal, redeem Solas

v; and then the dawn came ( thora | trespasser ) plotted.

(veilguard spoilers - anything veilguard is a wip)

In the wake of Corypheus's defeat, Thora spent most of her time negotiating and going to banquets. As time went by most of those she considered among her Inner Circle moved on with their lives, with a few exceptions. Though she and Divine Victoria put off the Exalted Council for as long as they could, soon the time came when she had to face them.

She arrived, resolved to keep the Inquisition intact despite Ferelden's call for dissolution, ignoring the ever-present sting in the middle of her left hand that had been getting worse by the day. Considering the revelations of corruption within her own people, and the realities of Solas's plan, Thora disbanded the Inquisition.

In the years since the Exalted Council and Solas's ritual, Thora resides in Kirkwall. Her half-sister takes her family's seat at the Merchant's Guild. She presides over a small network of spies, scouts, and more, and commits to research in her hope of understanding Solas's plans and how to save him from himself.

When the Blighted hordes are at Kirkwall's door, with Merrill's (or Morrigan, if writing with a Merrill who has a different verse) help, Thora takes refugees to Cadash Thaig through an eluvian. It was discovered during Inquisition by herself and Solas, and now lies under the protection of ancient Elvhen spirits who seek to guard what Kal-Sharok had destroyed long ago. For now, it is safe, and from there she redoubles her efforts to see if there is a better way for her friend's story to end.

v; dust to dust ( thora | youth ) plotted.

Thora is born in the city of Ostwick. She is the eldest daughter, and grows up with an expectation of marrying above her station put upon her by her father. Instead, she joins the Carta when she is old enough to carry a weapon. Though initially she's little more than a kind face to smooth negotiations, she becomes a part of the organisation in her own right.

Over time, she creates a reputation for herself and is given her own team, small though it may be. She deals, for the most part, with breaking deals and pushing lyrium. In the wake of the Fifth Blight the Cadash clan decided that it was best to get their foot in the door of Ferelden, so to speak. They sent several groups, and Thora, now twenty-two, was given a postion in Amaranthine. She was there when the Darkspawn attacked the city, and while the city burned the Carta hid, their swords drawn, but unwilling to fight. She remained just long enough to see that the Carta turned a profit before she left for Kirkwall.

v; because of these souls we sang ( thora | companion ) plotted.

Before or after the events of In Hushed Whispers / Champions of the Just Thora can be recruited as a means to bring more lyrium into the Inquisition. She joins the party, and boasts the powers of a dwarven beserker, albeit an untrained one.

As a companion she is less confident than as Inquisitor, and without the affirmation of a whole organisation is not inclined to think of herself as anything more than a Duster. If befriended, she can be encouraged to leave the life of a Carta agent to pursue other goals. If Leliana is crowned Divine, she may join the Chantry as either a Sister or Left Hand. If it is someone else, then she will put her services to use in some other way.

[ahhvernin]

Autocorrect and grammarly freaking out are starting to make me miss CLIPPY. And I HATED THAT mother fucker. in case of you youngsters who don't know Clippy. Clippy was this annoying piece of stationary that would show up every time you opened a word doc and snark at you with every incorrect use of grammar and miss spelling. And I would have to turn off my speakers because I didn't want to hear him go "TINK TINK" as though he was tapping the glass screen to tell me the UMPTENTH TIME that I spelled my non English name incorrectly. Also the red and green squiggles under your mistakes were basically confetti. Though I do NOT want Clippy back because I've heard some people are now trying to merge him with AI. If several generations were able to banish and exile him from Microsoft's OS systems then he should stay there in the yellowing pages of my WIPs and burn in my refusal to correct my last name to CENT.

Also where is that librarian post about people no longer knowing how to use a dictionary-thesaurus?

googledocs you are getting awfully uppity for something that can’t differentiate between “its” and “it’s” correctly
