an eclectic group of wardens trying to figure out why they arent being swayed by the calling all the other wardens are getting and figuring out they were all joined either with the substitute archdemon blood from soldiers peak or by this one specific guy who apparently may not even be a warden. and then once anders meets up with them he hears this and gets visibly five times more exhausted and then he opens his mouth to finally start laying out the surana deep lore he has pieced together and well, its good news and bad news.

#also baffling news revelatory news and terrifying news.#tldr up at soldiers peak avernus has what he and surana says is zazikels heart. its in a complicated apparatus that keeps blood pumping #through it. by using draconic blood they can make substitute/postmortem(?) archdemon blood. this would have been fine if zazikel was #inactive the way the rest of the past archdemons are (aside from urthemiel whose soul went into kieran). instead surana is Connected to it #in a way that he has never coherently explained but which he has seemingly-contradictingly claimed is not entirely unlike the situations of #kieran and the magisters sidereal and the sentinels of mythals temple. functionally this amounts to him being the acting #leader of zazikels horde (which they partially comprise) as a semi-separate thing from the general darkspawn horde. fun fact the real #actual canonical term for this is 'omega'. surana has been taking psychic damage from this term since before the veil went up.#none of this is even getting into the really crazy parts yet. anyway yeah bad news we are technically a darkspawn horde good news our boss #isnt interested in obliterating our personhoods beneath his call. but we are still sort of instruments of his will and if any of you here #have not met this guy let me assure you this is going to be a bumpy ride bc on his best days the guy has a death-grip on what few hinges #he can scrape together. but if you want to get paid for all this tell him that and he will definitely try. okay ted talk over'
