aaaaahhhhh thank you!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Always open for gushing! Please, send me a 🖊 anytime!

rapidfire round on some family stuff that I've been playing with/fleshing out lately~

I didn't think that the way the Shadow Dragon Rook's relationship with their family came up in the game fit Ver, so I'm kinda twisting it: I've only recently decided that in my canon, the "Mercar" that's mentioned in-game is actually Ver's uncle by marriage, and he is the husband of Abelia (maiden name Caeso), her paternal aunt.

Abelia (one of the reasons Ver also has a floral name!) was very close with her brother (Linnaeus Caeso), and unlike most of the family, loved her sister-in-law (Melisa Bayart), so she was the one who talked her husband into adopting their orphaned niece. (Ver doesn't call them mom and dad- to her they are still Auntie Abbie, and Uncle Valerius or "Sir".)

The person who filled in sort of the "paternal" role in her life is an old surface dwarf, Brogan- she's been renting the flat above his little restaurant (or I guess "eatery" is more accurate, it's just a little hole in the wall that's been the same since before she was even born) in the district I call Catsbane for literally over a decade now, and would have had a lot more hungry nights without him. (He was also the one who gave her ex/roommate Adris a job as a dishwasher when he lived there with her, and the only reason the Templars got in to arrest Adris as an escaped slave was because old Brogan with the meat tenderizer is... well, not much, against three soldiers armed to the teeth.)

(he still calls her "columbae mea", an old Tevene term of endearment I made up- it means "my dove/pigeon" in Latin, and he started calling her that because in her early 20's, she only ever "came home to roost", sleep and/or metaphorically lick her wounds.)(let me lean into the "old queer man nurturing the young queer woman like a daughter he never had" trope okay, it makes my heart so happy)

Tristan is/was the eldest of five siblings, and all of the others are still alive by the time Veilguard rolls around: he has two little brothers, Adam and Henry, and two little sisters, Edith and Matilde (Matty for short).

I want to say that they (along with his parents, Wymond and Margaret/"Meggy") are the reason he wanted so bad to fight at Ostagar originally, even though he was poorly trained, and only 17 years old: to protect them as best as he could.

He's not kept in touch with them since his death (his family was informed that he had died on the battlefield, though they weren't updated that while that's still kinda true, he also kinda got better in the meantime), and unlike many Fereldans from the area near the area affected by the Fifth Blight, his parents and youngest sister stayed in their old home until the 9:52 combined Blight chased them north too.

The one thing that Wymond laments in the move is that from now on, he will no longer be able to visit his eldest son's empty grave on Tristan's birthday, which was kind of a ceremony he had been doing, faithfully, for 20+ years now. (I'm toying with the thought that Meggy was hit even harder by Tristan's death, and even to this day, she can't even stand the sight of the headstone- but if he were to show up today, she would be the only one to recognize her son in this tower of a warden, lol.)

Marcus canonically doesn't have a family so it's difficult to talk about that, but since there is that skeleton you can find during Emmrich's recruitment quest that sounds like he left the Ingellvar Rook behind, I did come up with a little story for his background!!!

I though that originally, he was born to a minor noble's daughter who was engaged to be wed to someone else, and one of the family's (free, but poor) servants, in a very classic, tragic love story. (Originally it was far darker, but that piece of dialogue made me want to pivot to a more sad than horrifying one, lol.)

In a nutshell, his mother managed to hide the pregnancy from everyone while she was carrying him, and the child was to be raised by his father's nearby, though estranged family (under the condition that the mother secretly sends them money to support her son), but then she unfortunately died in childbirth, and Marcus' father was left in a very difficult situation: either he could unceremoniously get rid of the body of his beloved (against all Nevarran custom), pretend not to know what happened to her, and raise their child alone and in secret (with no help, because there was no support coming, and the family pulled out), or to come clean, give his love the honor and the burial that she deserves, and have the child be taken away- or, potentially even to be accused of having murdered her, and get imprisoned, or worse.

So, he did the only other thing he could think of to give the both of them the best chance: he stole into the depths of Grand Necropolis with the infant, left him (along with a piece of his own heart, so to speak) in a place where he knew that the Mourn Watchers would find him, and then flee the country. The circumstances of his death are still quite unclear, but he was found dead soon after, still within Nevarra City, so.... well, he didn't get far.

So yeah, while he's no bastard prince and this has nothing to do with anything regarding him, Marcus is technically of noble birth- but nobody knows it, not even him, and there is nobody alive who could confirm it.

As far as anyone is concerned, he's just a soft-spoken, pretty boy with considerable magical and academic talent, and no familial ties to speak of.

"When considering authority, it is important to realize that all authority ultimately stems from force – from the barrel of a gun, as the old saying has it. Those who claim authority and yet are unable to back up their orders with force have no authority, even though it can take time for others to realize it. The teacher forbidden to punish his charges, the policeman forbidden to make arrests and the CO forbidden to discipline his men have no authority." ~Professor Leo Caesius, 'Authority, Power and the Post-Imperial Era'
