oh i'd like Elgar'nan to feel for some modern elves his authoritative "love" (maybe some Dalish clans swored allegiance to him (there should definitely be such clans, as the elves who followed Solas in the end of Inquisition, but developers decided not to create conflict between the elves))

Alanis Mahariel - Dalish warrior / alive / Leliana
Helen Hawke - Warrior /purple and red / alive, Loghain sacrificed / Merrill
Lirana Lavellan - Mage / went to the Fade with her war criminal man / Solas

They all go by she/her #dragonage

It was a little out of sight out of mind for Zecky, and by the time he started using magic he was with the Dalish so he didn’t have to experience it himself. The idea of it disturbs him because of the enforced aspect.

What does your OC think about the Circle of Magi?

they’re also all characters of color too (like even outside of being Dalish for merrill, bc she was whitewashed in DA2) so…

i’ve primarily seen it on reddit (unsurprising)

My latest Inky Effy (the second Effy) for my first Nightmare level playthrough of #DAI #dragonage

She’s a Dalish mage, on the outskirts of her own clan, she cares for them but has been excluded her whole life, the Inquisition is her found family, the place she truly calls home 🥰

Teleri De Riva is glad it was disbanded as it was a cage for those gifted with magic. She grew up Dalish in a clan that cherished its mages, whose brother was a mage, so she'd heard rumours of the prisons shem made for theirs and was horrified.

Joa doesn’t know much about it but he does wonder how he would have turned out if he had been sent to study in a circle instead of being taught (or not taught) by the dalish and veil jumpers. His control over his magic is very poor. A circle education might have fixed that or he would have failed +

I hope nothing has happened to him….Thank you. *hops out of his wet boots and starts to put on his dalish foot wraps*
Yes, he said…I do a good job… standing against the darkspawn…more than anything, I want to protect…

also dalish, the ma-- i mean archer, is clocky af. are trans people just flocking to the qun like we do marxism and islam in the real world?
January 15, 2026 at 2:55 AM
Since there doesn't seem to be a very clear answer, other than maybe a line or two here and there about the Dalish specifically, I am going to take initiative and say harts (elk stags) are also considered "halla" (but like, halla you can ride/do work with vs the smaller ones) and Elvhen rode them

As a dalish mage elf; "why do they need that? Gross. You shouldn't cage mages like animals"

STOP what you're doing and post your fave companion from Baldur's Gate, Dragon Age, and Mass effect!

(Excluded romanced companions in DA just so I could praise my true love + wanted to give some love to MEA)
January 14, 2026 at 10:12 PM
Despite the dalish valuing their mages greatly and him being proud to be one, he's been nervous about the day his daughter might come into her magics, dreading that day quietly within. Thus far, she hasn't. (and won't, girl's a rogue through and through <3)

Does anyone ever just struggle to get good pics of your Warden? Fighting for my life for good angles.

Meet my OC: Leith

Dalish, Rogue, romanced Morrigan and Zevran ;3

Vallira learned about the circle during the canonical events of Inquisition. At first she was largely indifferent. It didn't affect her as she passed as a "Dalish" for a time. Plus it sounded like balance.

The more she learned, the more disgusted and upset she became over it.

This is even more glorious (#cailantherin) than I imagined, excellent egg. Also your necklace is giving Dalish/Elvhen realness 🦌

I just love the concept of the Emerald Knights and the Fade Hunters. Very likely Dalish warrior traditions evolving directly from Solas' rebellion. When a great wolf stood amongst and fought alongside elves.

Teleri De Riva can speak 'modern' elven/Dalish and Antivan fluently. She knows enough Tevene to chat, less so Orlesian (enough to sound like a well educated tourist). She is learning Nevarran from Emmrich and picked up some Ferelden from Varric and Harding when travelling with them.
January 14, 2026 at 12:09 AM
i think it's also why i can't simply like faction-swap for an au for most of them either

like pasco removed from the crow child assassin machine is no longer pasco. it informs how he interacts with the world vs if, say, gav raised him dalish
January 13, 2026 at 10:14 PM
Kina, same as Sorin (both learned Tevine for sake of spying on Venatori even though she’s isn’t as directly involved)

Jade—Orlesian, Dalish (but he doesn’t practice Elvhen) trade, Antivan, Tevine, and some Nevarran. He can understand sign language, and *some* qunlat (learned so many languages+
January 13, 2026 at 8:13 PM
(Imma save this, cuz I forget my own notes on this somehow)

Zecky fluent in Orlesian, Trade, and Dalish (he’s been learning Elvhen over last few years)

Fox O’Wilde—trade, Nevarran, and knows various ancient languages or studying

Sorin—fluent in Antivan, trade, and Tevine. Knows a little Orlesian
How many languages does your OC speak?

elven from Merrill to greet a Dalish without asking to sleep with them, *Isabela*. 😆

Irena knows Trade. Some Orlesian from her studies, though her pronunciation is mid. Learns some non-offensive Antivan from Josie.

Clay: Trade. Some Elven from Merrill, some Qunlat and Tevene eventually.
