some sneak peaks of the pieces i’ve been working on for @worldofthedaszine.bsky.social!

had a lot of fun spending more time in Thedas with a bunch of talented artists & writers. you’ll be able to check out everything in its entirety very soon 👀

excerpt from Brother Genitivi’s Travels of a Chantry Scholar about Antivan festival foods: “One of the most common fares are, of course, little breads and pastries meant to be taken with a cup of fine coffee. Particularly, little spiced cookies tasting of ginger and cinnamon, and cut into the shapes of crows; these are appropriately referred to as “cornejitas” which means “little crow” in Antivan. Another notable mention is a sweet bread covered in streusel that cracks in the oven and gives the appearance of a shell. I’m told that these are most popular in northern and coastal Antiva, and the recipe is originally of Rivaini make.”

excerpt from an Antivan nursery rhyme entitled “The Mad Crow”:

A feather here, a feather there,
have you a feather spare?
For the Mad Crow keep a pair,
and never again will you nightmare.

Inside your pillow, under the bed,
Stuffed in a poppet dressed in red,
wherever a nest of plumes reside,
From the Mad Crow you cannot hide.

On two legs the Mad Crow dost walk,
for a bounty of quills they do stalk,
Enough plumage for wings to make,
is alone what will her hunger slake.

I've been lucky enough to join the talented folks at @worldofthedaszine.bsky.social as one of their writers for the Anderfels/Grey Warden section! Here's a sneak peek of some of the pieces I'm working on 👀 #DragonAge #zine #fanfic

I must warn you that the Wardens and I parted on less than amicable terms. Isseya’s gift of returning the griffons came with strings—ones that the First Warden was quick to ignore, in favor of his ego and delusions of grandeur. Whatever use my information may be of to you, or to those who seek the safe return of the griffons, I will give it only if they are truly willing to listen.

Isseya trusted her legacy to me—not just the griffons, but the reminder that the Wardens betrayed them. That this is an improbable, precious second chance, and there will not be a third. The people in Hossberg speak well of you and your partner, but if your allies are unwilling to face the mistakes of Wardens past, there is nothing I can do to help you, or them.

A letter, dated 9:52 Dragon, from the elven mage Valya to Field Commander Evka Ivo

However, the farmers who raise the pigs and collect the truffles rarely occupy the same social standing as the patrons who enjoy the fruit of their labors. Truffles are largely harvested in small patches; enough to consistently maintain a meager living, but nothing beyond that. This leaves many farmers dreaming of the pig who will stumble across a rare cache of truffles large enough that they could elevate their status with the profits.

Rumors out of Hossberg suggest that the dish is sometimes made with gingerwort truffles and served at the King’s most exclusive events; officially, the palace chef advises against this practice.

Previously, nations across Thedas found themselves caught up in the relief of a Blight ending— no one thought to question where the dragons vanished to. Though, one might perhaps wonder that the Fereldens did not notice whatever means the Wardens used to transfer such a large corpse from the top of Fort Drakon across the continent to Hossberg.

Discovery of the The Cauldron raises many questions: why did the Wardens need to keep all of the corpses? Were they trophies, or for study? Certainly it was not just for the blood, as a single corpse must hold enough blood for all Joinings into eternity. Perhaps which archdemon the blood was drawn from had some significance, or perhaps the makeup of the blood was altered with time, but given the fate of Weisshaupt and the devastation of the Order, it is likely that these questions will never be answered.
