What did you do today in DA? [Spoilers]

Aerland's name sounds cooler, but Hawke is more fun as a char/game. Heh, see which one drags you into the game.

Psh, Hawke. Obviously.

I reinstalled the DAO, and continued Aerland Amell 's story

So I arrived at Ostagar with Duncan, and met with Alistair an ex-Templar Grey Warden. I was afraid we will not the best friend, but fortunately, he told, he hated to be Templar, and Duncan saved him – the Grand Cleric didn't really want to let him go. Poor guy, I thought the Templars did their own choice, but someone of them just as forced as we are. Of course, this doesn't mean I like them better, but this Alistair guy okay... more than okay, in fact... sigh... anyway, back to the task. I also met with two Grey Warden aspirant, Ser Jory, a warrior, and Daveth. Ser Jory seems not that interesting, but Daveth! I like him! Seems we will be good friends (those eyes!). Duncan said we have to gather some darkspawn blood, I'm curious: for what... and we need to search for some old warden contracts. Let's go. But as we went out of the camp the hound trainer stopped me. He asked for a herb for a mabari war hound, who injured from the darkspawn. Nice dog, I want to help him. I would like such a friend when I was a child, I remember, I got a puppy... It was before they took me away... to the Circle.

Daveth told something about the Witch of the Wild. Seems, he fears, no problem, I will protect you, trust me! I'm sure just some apostates behind the legend... Daveth is funny and brave.

We acquired the blood and found the place, where the contract should have been, but there was nothing just a weird apostate woman... she's that "Witch of the wild"? Haha, not that scary. But Alistair and Daveth warn caution. Alistair assumes, she will conjure us into a toad, if we're not vigilant. Oh my! I like him! I confronted with her about the contracts, and she told, her mother took them away, to save them.

So: go to her mother. The old Witch of the Wild... I suppose she's just a strong mage, but who knows, perhaps a bit more... She got us the contracts. I don't think, she's malevolent.

Go back to the camp. Oh wait, the herb! The dog needs it. Okay, I found one.
At the camp, Duncan awaited us. So about that secret "joining ritual"... this isn't a trial. This is a fucking sacrifice. Anyway, better than the Circle... and as Daveth said if this needs to stop the Blight, then worth it. Seems Ser Jory already repented he wanted to join. Daveth was the first... but the poison in the darkspawn blood killed him. Rest in peace, mate, you could have been a good friend. Fuck.

Ser Joy panicked, and pulled his sword. Duncan killed him. Okay, I'm the next one...

(Joining – video)

It's over. And I'm alive. I saw a strange ...dream? A weird dragon. That was the Archdemon? Probably.
Duncan said, King Cailan wants to speak with us. I already realized that, but now it was clear: the King fond of Grey Wardens. And the heroic battles. And seems, Loghain doesn't happy about it.
The battle plan was not that difficult. Cailan and the Grey Wardens start the battle, and when the time comes, Loghain will attack the Darkspawn with his army. My task with Alistair to ignite beacon on the top of Tower of Ishal. Let's go!

We ignited the fire, but the darkspawn in the Tower defeated us.

I woke up inside a hut – the home of the Witch of the Wild. Again. She and her weird daughter saved us. Why? And how? I have many questions. 

Aerland Amell

Flemeth's grimoire:

Morrigan asked Aerland to kill her mother. She suspects, that her mother is an abomination who kept herself fit and young with a method, that when her body becomes old, she's moving into her daughter's body. Leliana told a tale about Flemeth, the Which of the Wild, and this tale was disturbing, but still... Morrigan's version was so... unbelievable. So, he decided, Flemeth will alive. Perhaps a bad choice, but to kill an "Abomination" who has such a fine, sarcastic humour – is just a waste.

Zevran approves, while doesn't deny, a little violence always a good fun, seems, Alistair happy with becoming "bad guy", and Wynne worries.

Anyway, Morrigan's grateful (Aerland hopes, she was not right about Flemeth...)

Aerland:

LOVE IT!! I will savor every read but after a few cups of coffee and when Gasper is dead. 

Hawke's mother and father met in 9:05 Dragon, they left Kirkwall a few months later, and Leandra already was pregnant, so: Hawke born at the end of 9:05, or in 9:06. Hawke ~24-25 in 9:30, when the Blight destroyed Lothering, and they went to Kirkwall.

My really angry guy rather Ralph, he's the most problematic among them – Reinhardt is a hotheaded sweetheart, a devoted lover and friend – Willard more distrustful, or rather he wants to believe, but don't want to be naive, if this has some sense – he already lost many whom he trusted sometimes.

Abram and Anduin probably would their good friend. And you're right, not a chance against Anders.

I never felt conflicts about the Circles. They must be destroyed – at least as prisons. As education and research centres, they're useful – but not necessarily in one place. The Inquisition paints a grotesque picture about the Circles. Vivienne absolutely wrong – the truth is the Kinloch Hold, The Gallows and the White Spire, and that the mages' children become the Chantry's properties, like Wynne's son.

I'm glad you did read their stories – and you found them interesting, especially Ralph's (He's my first red!Hawke, I didn't expect that a red!Hawke can be my favourite, but the character grew on me). I didn't expect you'll like him – he's a little bit different than your characters.
I just found that place and started to gather the pieces of information and stories about my characters here. Easy to put everything in the character sheet, and to find it later. Do it, what you found more fun, of course. I like your dialogues, by the way.

Back to Aerland Amell PT (Old one, unfinished but I like him).

Blood Mage.

Saved Redcliffe and Connor (tricked the desire demon),
freed Jowan, and protected the mages,
cured the werewolves,

agreed with Caridin, and put Bhelen to the Throne – for the radical change
Zevran about Harrowmont:

Protected Zevran from Talesien and got his reward

Freed Anora,

but captured, with Alistair.
They managed to escape:

“Oh, fuck!”
“You’re okay?”
“Don’t worry, but we should go, this place too much reminds me to the Circle… did I say already how I hated it?”
“Yes, yes… Do you have a plan? A Guard’s coming…”
“Our key coming…”

“Hey! Good to see you here! We’re bored. Do you want to play with us?”
“Well, I could enjoy your company…”
“Can I help you take off your armour?”

“Much better… the helmet… eh… that will not bother our joy…
So, let’s play!”

“Go! We wasted enough time here!”

(It was weird, at the end of the escape the game sent Leliana and Morrigan to help, it's random?)

SO: go back to Aemon Arl and try to put Alistair to the Throne, if possible, with Anora... and to recruit Loghain...
