do you ever think about how learning to fight in a family of three mages must have affected carver’s fighting style?

if he joins the templars, he gets yelled at for charging onto the battlefield without waiting for his squad to catch up. they call him dangerously reckless and it’s not like he can say that he’s used to having three healing spells ready for him and at least one barrier already cast.

on the other hand, he’s very popular with the mages in the wardens. he’s the only person on the entire continent for whom run into battle and absorb as much damage as possible is an intuitive strategy. tanking was always his job! he knows to pull the battle away from the mages as much as possible.

he also knows how to be buffed. most warriors need practice to be able to use haste without tripping over their own feet. carver? carver was the guinea pig for hawke and bethany’s support spell training. it takes at least three haste spells stacked on top of each other to faze him. he’s not thrown when the heroic aura wears off and suddenly his hands are slower and his sword is heavier. he’s got a sixth sense for when a mage is about to cast an aoe spell right on top of him and he needs to move. 

you ever think about how no one outside of the dalish elves grew up fighting with mages?

the warden commander probably puts him in charge of training new warriors, is what i’m saying.

Kirkwall, also known as The City of Chains and historically as Emerius, is a coastal city-state and a major population center located in the Free Marches.

Long ago, it was part of the Imperium, slaves coming from far and wide to work the quarries. 

Kirkwall has changed hands many times since then and has always been a valuable port, the nexus of nearly all trade that flows between the Free Marches and Ferelden.

We all love to joke about how the Warden keeps bringing up griffons but I’ve been reading a lot of Merrill’s dialogue and let me just say I’m happy Wynne never met her because

…on the other hand, I now have this bittersweet headcanon that a warden Mahariel had heard all about griffons from Merrill, who would spend hours going on and on about them to whoever would listen (namely, Tamlen and Mahariel.) and then eagerly urging Wynne to tell them more about griffons, excited at the thought of bringing back all these stories to Merrill, picturing her excitement, thinking, “Oh, Merrill would absolutely love this!” only to remember that they may never see her again.

…and feeling slightly relieved at that possibility, not wanting to see her face when they tell her all the Wardens’ griffons had died out.
