For the Grey Wardens!

My blood has never been important to me. I've spent my whole life trying to forget about it and being told that I would never sit on the throne.

Darkspawn... they just crop up everywhere, don't they?

alistairisms @alistairisms.bsky.social · 20h

But how does Morrigan even know how to even do such a thing? What kind of ritual is this, anyway?

alistairisms @alistairisms.bsky.social · 1d

He did. He said he felt the archdemon's presence. Everyone just assumed he was guessing.

alistairisms @alistairisms.bsky.social · 1d

It’s a generous offer. I doubt you’re going to get a better one from us.

alistairisms @alistairisms.bsky.social · 1d

Maker's breath, I hope not! I don't think so... you don't think so, do you? I'm a bastard, and nobody even knows about me.

alistairisms @alistairisms.bsky.social · 1d

No? Huh. Good to know.

alistairisms @alistairisms.bsky.social · 2d

I guess you could try. Duncan doesn't usually recruit cowards.

alistairisms @alistairisms.bsky.social · 2d

So what's the deal with you and him, anyway? Dare I ask?

You can find lyrium and more mages at the Circle of Magi--if they would even do it.

alistairisms @alistairisms.bsky.social · 2d

That's true. We can sense the darkspawn. Conversely, they can sense us.

alistairisms @alistairisms.bsky.social · 3d

I did! Or I think I did, anyhow.

alistairisms @alistairisms.bsky.social · 3d

Marrying Cailan's widow? How could she even...? No, never mind. I'm going to not think about it now.

alistairisms @alistairisms.bsky.social · 3d

And dry. We're not exactly traveling in the lap of luxury, here.

alistairisms @alistairisms.bsky.social · 3d

Yes, I'm quite sure. At any rate, I don't look anything like him... you'll see for yourself. Not that that stopped the rumors any.

I know Arl Eamon doesn't hold you responsible, but he's a good man who had a lot to absorb all at once. You and I both know you could have done something else!

alistairisms @alistairisms.bsky.social · 4d

Yes, because that's what I want. Someone to find attractive the one thing I hate the most. Gosh, watch me swoon.

alistairisms @alistairisms.bsky.social · 4d

Ah, yes, but I heard you often seduced your targets. They'd remember you.

alistairisms @alistairisms.bsky.social · 4d

I remember I had an amulet with Andraste's holy symbol on it. The only thing I had of my mother's. I was so furious at being sent away I tore it off and threw it at the wall and it shattered.

alistairisms @alistairisms.bsky.social · 5d

Excuse me.

alistairisms @alistairisms.bsky.social · 5d

Still, you never told me you were betrothed. What happened?

alistairisms @alistairisms.bsky.social · 5d

Look, you made me king and I'm... grateful. And Duncan would have been happy the Blight is over.

alistairisms @alistairisms.bsky.social · 5d

Why? Are we under attack?

alistairisms @alistairisms.bsky.social · 6d

I know! That's what I said! (Laughs)
