Gateway or Door

To surmise, when we all inevitably leave this plane, we don’t go somewhere new. We go home.

Ursula Ovion, very pointedly, wanted to be the first person to die. With the people of Anaz tucked away in their Arks and crashed to their Earths that Allode gave them, immortality slipped from their grasp like loose sand. So, when the people of Anaz were beginning to feel the sluggishness of age- which usually signified the beginning of reincarnation- Ursula Ovion very  quickly hurled herself off of the highest point of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, making her the first ever person to die.

When the Blade of Diae fell from the sky and erased all of the fingerprints of humanity, it also flooded the now-abandoned reality by several feet, the whole planet a massive ocean. Ursula found this out by crashing into the sea at several hundred miles per hour from dying, the first shooting star to cross Anaz in almost ninety years. The sky had been dark for a long time.

Treading water she called to the familiar home that stood still beneath waves, and like magic, a small isle of rock rose to establish surface. She smiled, her hands on the earth, tears streaming down her face; magic had been absent from her life for eighty-six years,and she hated every last one of them. It’s why she named her outpost Sumer, it meant ‘Steaming Dump’ in her old tongue.

She got to work. Creating islands and palaces, castles and coves, establishing hundreds of different places she liked to call ‘Nesta Mine’. Happily Home. The spaces defined physics and logic, an endless plane of clouds and gold, which she called ‘Hai Vahn’ or Winged Cloud, occupied the physical space of an observatory. Another one she was proud of was ‘Elli Saium’, or Opulent Field, and was an endless field of luxury hiding amongst golden fields of grain.

 She also decided to create places where those who, after a trial, would face judgement, called ‘Monte Mine’, or Vile Home. A cavernous labyrinth of fire and acid was simply labeled ‘Heyel’, an abstract term that reflected a scream of anguish.

Finally, she created a headquarters for the magical and gifted. This one was easy. ‘Auro Reynauld’. Golden Key. A soaring palace that boasted windows and doors to every reality that Allode had created. The power of the Universe was, at this point, awake in her veins. And so, Ursula Ovion, the first Deity of Universe of the Afterlife, hearkened to the great Karma to judge the souls of all who came in, promising help as needed, and enlisted the people idolized as creators in their realities to send souls to their new lives and bring them into this new harbor, which she realized had no name. Anaz was too...something. This-whatever this was- was not Anaz. But she decided to call it the ‘Apocro Fine.’ The Home of Harbors.  For every soul was a ship and would eventually dock at this loving harbor.

hey so I'm not sure if you've talked about this before, but why/how did mahon learn to sign? (I teared up seeing him signing to his mom not gonna lie.. i love seeing representation for sign language)

OOH GOSH! i love seeing it too! it’s a really underrated language imo and.. so expressive and good.. i’m sorry i made you tear up LMAO

as to why and how Mahon knows sign:

I like to think any community in Thedas has their own sign language to some degree, bc hard of hearing/Deaf/nonverbal ppl are all over the place, and for the most part Lavellan clan uses asl so that hunters and scouts can communicate silently while away from camp. (My version of Lavellan clan is in the Frostback mountains, so sound carries oddly enough without added voices bouncin around)

Unnnfortunately a very bad sickness hits the clan during a particularly hard winter, and a number of elves who were able to sweat out the fever end up mute or deaf or both, in cases like that of Mahon’s mother. So in the ensuing months, the majority of the clan brushes up on their sign to bridge the new gap in communication. Mahon is around 10 years old when this happens, so he spends the greater part of his life using asl daily!! (I wrote something here about Mahon seeing his mother for the first time after her fever breaks, if u wanna read it.)

Even outside of the clan he signs while speaking (if he’s nervous, mostly, bc sign is sofamiliar to him. they’re more subtle and contained but still there)

i also like to think that Sera knows sign, and Bull (in a more military/tactical sense)
