why does nobody ever talk about tyrdda bright-axe I mean she was a female leader of an Avvar tribe, a lesbian mage whose lover was an elf. she kept her people strong and took no shit from anyone like??? what a woman
Because her story was spread out over 20 landmarks in the hinterlands
Me, constantly whispering at my computer screen: but Dorian my boy as we move through this area surrounded by the people who live in this area can you be chill, sensitive, and cultural respectful for ten fucking seconds
Dorian, in the middle of the avvar village: EVERY AVVAR STATUE I SEE IS THE UGLIEST ONE THAT I HAVE SEEN YET
Me, just tired, not even surprised: but Dorian my boy can you be yourself but quiet
That Dorian becomes an ambassador is buckwild considering the sheer amount of elegant tactlessness he extends to literally every culture, country, and individual he encounters
Dorian walking into the Thedas UN like “what up your countries are all rustic, cold, and destroy the flavor of every meal you touch, but on the other hand, my country is decadent, corrupt, and evil, and they kicked me out again. What a shitty continent we share. Could someone please direct me to a spare bedroom, I live here now”
I have never in my life heard as much complaining than when these three are together
I don’t care that it’s cold, or that you don’t like trees, or that its spooky, or your outfit is ugly- WE ARE IN A FOREST, NO ONE IS LOOKING AT YOUR OUTFIT. NO ONE BUT THE DEMONS ARE LOOKING AT YOUR OUTFIT.
SERA, STOP PICKING ON VIVIENNE– VIV, I SWEAR TO THE MAKER, IF I HEAR ONE MORE SMART ASS COMMENT FROM YOU– DORIAN, NO
i will no longer be inviting my enemies to ‘meet me in the pit’ from now on you are all expected to meet me in the hinterlands, a far more terrifying prospect due to the fact you must first FIND me in the hinterlands, which may take years
