The Lost Codices of the Third Blight

WHO: Caspar Pentaghast II (along with Alia Pentaghast & Raziya Nadhari)
WHEN: 3:65 Towers
WHERE: At sea, nearing Cumberland
WHAT: Coming full circle
WARNINGS/DISCLAIMERS: None

( In the distance and the dark, Cumberland waited. )

WHO: Rosalind Margrace & Pilar Pentaghast
WHEN: Some time later
WHERE: Cumberland
WHAT: Life goes on
RATING: PG?
WARNINGS/DISCLAIMERS: Angie and Sil write another birth scene...

( I think I'll be awake for a while )

WHO: The Nug King, ft. some familiar faces (and names)
WHEN: Spanning from 3:25 Towers to 9:44 Dragon
WHERE: Throughout Thedas
WHAT: Codex entries about the nug king, all lost to time… except for one. Okay maybe two.
RATING: Tame
WARNINGS/DISCLAIMERS: Hi, Vicki here with my Big Dream Pet Project I had for this game since August, which is basically tying in the Nug King stories from this game to the actual game, as in “Dragon Age” game canon. This canon is definitely used throughout these series of scenes, most in forms of little easter eggs. So… spoilers? And also actual legit disclaimer time: there is a codex in here that I did not write myself, and it was, in fact, written by the writing staff of Bioware. I included a link to the Dragon Age Wiki to make it very clear that it was not written by me. I also took creative liberties with another part of game canon, and I hope Bioware and Varric can both forgive me. Also, there is a small snippet that was actually written by Maaya way back in the levrin First Day log, so credit is due there too!

( All praise the Nug King. Sate his appetite with cheese. Older is better. )

WHO: Bastien & Sorin, ft. Victoire
WHEN: Between 3:27 and 3:30 Towers
WHERE: Primarily Orlais
WHAT: Because family is forever.
RATING: Tame
WARNINGS/DISCLAIMERS: none tbh

( Shall we return to your camp? I suspect a ridiculous story about a marquise who very publicly in the streets of Val Royeaux announced me as her lover come back from the dead will keep us entertained on the journey back. )

WHO: Rosalind & Alia
WHEN: Early Bloomingtide
WHERE: Necropolis
WHAT: Time, eventually, heals all things.
RATING: PG-13
WARNINGS/DISCLAIMERS: talk of death, depression & other things

( It was a promise. )

WHO: Asmund Astyth & Bastien Montbelliard
WHEN: 3:48 Towers
WHERE: Deep Roads
WHAT: Every life ends, every warden’s duty must be set down
RATING: D for Death
WARNINGS/DISCLAIMERS: Death. *stab stab stab*

( If it ended here, he had no regrets. )

( sent to Audra Ghrian )

WHO: Godric & Lev Tagaris
WHEN: 3:29 Towers, not long after this
WHERE: Qarinus, Tevinter Imperium
WHAT: Some unexpected news.

( His exhale was of relief. )

WHO: Clan Tagaris
WHEN: 3:25 Towers to 3:26 Towers
WHERE: Mostly in the Imperium
WHAT: A year in the life
RATING: Tame!
WARNINGS/DISCLAIMERS: Mostly light fluff, but be aware of explosions, the aftermath of violence, and one discussion about Stockholm Syndrome as your one bit of dark. Swearing but that’s par for the course. Lots of feels.

WHEN: 3:25 Towers through 3:29 Towers
WHERE: Minrathous
