“Haunted” is the best act 3 quest and if you haven’t brought Isabela then you are missing out

"He was a mage, she did red lyrium.

What more can I say?"

[calcium-draws]

"...those who have touched red lyrium—or even come near it—report that it "sings" to them, like whispers in the mind that slowly drive them mad..."

Codex entry: Red Lyrium

Playing the Colour Wheel Game over on twitter (between commission work-- to cooldown with ) but thought I'd open it up to tumblr as well.

So if you wanna play along n suggest some Orange characters to pick from for this next round, feel free to do so in the comments 🤗🧡 -- Kofi | Patreon

Finally done with this one. It was inspired by the theories of Solas getting himself corrupted with red lyrium.

Everyone is accusing Varric of being the worse viscount of Kirkwall. Read the codex entries! He literally cut off the gallows and forbid anyone from the city boating over to them. Most likely he's either completely unaware that this was happening or he has eyes on the situation and is waiting for a chance to fix it.

There's no way he would ignore this problem after he's spent so much time and money repairing the city and trying to get rid of red lyrium.

Worse Viscount in history. Hawke wouldn't stand for such slander.

It turns out that when you paint the red lyruim idol from Dragon Age 2, you realize how actually horrifying it is up close. I read it’s supposed to be “two lovers, or a god mourning her sacrifice” (I wonder who that third person is?)

continuing my red lyrium musings, the main options I see are:

it's titan blood/comes from a titan's heart - it's so potent, so powerful, that it contaminates and changes all it touches, consuming anything with even a hint of itself (magic? which is why the dwarves are safe? except I don't think based on dagna's precautions that red lyrium IS safe for dwarves... I also assume varric gets infected in the bad magic timeline but I haven't brought him before)

the evanuris deliberately altered lyrium to make it stronger and in so doing, made a horrible weapon of it that would destroy the world, including them - this may also be the connection between the evanuris and the dwarves, they might have split the dwarves from accessing magic to make them able to harvest lyrium for their purposes

OR the evanuris altered lyrium in a way that they and only they are safe from it - perhaps they bound their own blood and will into it. this would be the best of my explanations for how mythal could place an aspect inside the red lyrium idol without being destroyed/destroying it. and it's interesting... blue lyrium = titan blood; red lyrium = titan + evanuris blood, so the strongest things in the world (titans) combined with the power of the strongest mages in the world (evanuris) which might have required harvesting the heart of a single or multiple titans (trespasser mural)
