The First Mabari in Skyhold

Description

As the leader of the Inquisition roams across Thedas with seeker Cassandra, Dorian Pavus and a strange young man in tow and many inquisitorial things on her mind, let's take a little glimpse into the not-so-little tavern of Skyhold, somewhere deep in the Frostback Mountains.

- Looks like the boss’ got herself some serious competition, eh Cullen?
- Nothing to worry about, Tiny. It’s a Fereldan thing.

To me, there is only one logical explanation as to why there isn’t a single mabari in Skyhold: the inquisitor is afraid of them. :B I mean, let's be honest. How on Thedas else can anyone in their right mind frolic through the Hinterlands, humming along while collecting elfroot and embrium... and occasionally butcher these adorable creatures on sight?!

In my head canon, my magequisitor has had a traumatic experience with a mabari before she got sent to the Ostwick Circle at a very young age - so she never got the chance to work on overcoming her fear. At some point in 9:41, Cullen stumbles upon this little puppy during one of his ‘dealings in Ferelden’. The mabari instantly knows what’s best for him and imprints himself on the Commander. PWND. Not that Cullen minds, of course, being Fereldan himself. dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Mabar…


In case you’re wondering, the two random excited girls are exactly that - random. No one in particular.

And the pole-hennin-chicken construction thingy… felt totally legit to me. It was also extremely fun to put together, in a fiendishly malicious-schadenfreude kind of way. :devilish: :D


Now excuse me as I FINALLY launch Jaws of Hakkon. DL'ed it on the release day and had to put myself in proverbial chains to keep me from opening up DAI until I finished this. Thedas, prepareth thee nao. :B
