Does anyone else remember how in trespasser you can agree with Solas? Beg to go with and help him? Anyone? Because I do

And I know people change over a decade, however

100% could have had the option to have the inquisitor working independently of but in cooperation with Solas I'm JUST SAYING that could have fucked so hard

I don't remember if that's a romanced Lavellan exclusive dialogue branch tho but could you fucking imagine

Yo so I have no idea how to get a twitch link (I've genuinely exhausted all options I know what do)

[wyrmgrass]

one more day and as he returns to streaming, you'll be able to return to your natural state of blaming everything on the enemy

It’s been scary out here without him. I can blame things on his absence as well but it’s just not the same. Absence DOES make the heart grow fonder. It also makes wyrmposting stocks go up crazy style.

Hello I come with many thoughts

Solas's plan with the Veil and what went wrong

Demons coming through the tears wasn't exactly unexpected, but it was going to be a situation that was remedied when the veil came down fully

Solas put transferring Elgar'nan and Ghilan'nain into a stronger prison because he was unsure how the original would hold up given age of it, and hence he needed to sort that out before taking the veil down entirely

We never get to see how he rallied spirits to help protect the people because they couldn't do what they needed due to the veil not actually coming down in the end due to Rook and Co interrupting the ritual during the prison transfer

The Veil and how it works

So in Inquisition, there's those elven artifacts you can activate that strengthen the Veil right? Solas explicitly states in banter that triggers upon activating them that they're wards

As someone who very much studies and practices magic, wards essentially act as barriers. You know what else acts as a barrier?

The fuckin Veil

The Veil is basically one GIANT ward

You can always supplement a ward with more wards. Hence the artifacts are kinda like bandaids or mending stitches

The Veil being a ward explains why it's weakening on its own, because you have to refresh wards and maintain them

They also weaken more when they sustain damage, which explains why it wears down far quicker around battlefields

And much like any other spell, wards take energy to put up (depending on the ward, it's exhausting and I so understand why Solas needed a fuckin coma after a ward that the size of the Veil would be)

With that in mind, how the veil being removed would affect things:

It'd be akin to taking down a wall or opening a door

Yes, there would be chaos at first. But given time, it would all balance back out

Because the Veil would no longer be in place to be rough on a spirit to come through, demon count would likely go down somewhat. Not completely mind you, but still

This would actually lead to far more accurate study of spirits, given one would no longer be risking themselves to travel beyond it just for a small while of study

This could specifically open a branch of study that would lead to helping demons become spirits again, or at the very least help them recover from being demons

There's many possibilities having to do with researching now readily available echos of time and history

Many possibilities generally speaking

been thinking about worldbuilding solely on the basis of my next art project but I’m unsure how to get it to even partly work: namely that the best comparison I can think of is what if warhammer 40k but without the whole grimdark eternal war thing going on, but the occult, and supernatural were still there (and also theres magic and its based on stars)

The Pale Wyrm looks remarkably untroubled by the concept of such small, fleeting bugs holding such large, important troubles. Its eyes blink slowly again, mulling over the question asked of it, before it speaks again, in its hissing, whispering voice.

“They mean nothing to one such as I. Without a kingdom, there are no queens, nor are there any lords to serve under them, or knights to pledge oaths- and I have yet granted the free mind and will for such scholarly masters to seek their arts. Such titles may one day come to mean of things to great importance to me, but even then, I shall reign far above them, as god-ruler of the land, and they will listen and advise and squabble as they see fit, provided it holds no blasphemy against my name.”

The wyrm lowered its great body to the sands again. Flurries of stinging sand gust up from around its bladelike mandibles as it sighs, but it hardly notices, the great, leathery crest along its back raising slightly as it thinks. 

“For now, though...they are food.”
