  1. Summary

    Tarquin returns from the war: bitter, broken, and lonely. He joins the Templars thinking that he'll be helping the people of Minrathous but after five years rotting away in the city's archives he's resigned to the fact that the Templar Order have no use of his sword. But then he meets the Viper... the mysterious vigilante mage fighting injustice in Minrathous, and before long, Tarquin finds himself picking up a sword and fighting alongside. Tarquin feels more alive than he's felt in years but as he falls more and more in love with his partner in crime, there's just one small question remaining: who the fuck is this guy?!

    TIMELINES: Act 1 (The Viper) is set approximately 3 years before the events of Veilguard, Act 2 (The Divine) is set about a week to six months after that, and Act 3 (The Blight) follows canon if Minrathous gets blighted.

    Summary

    Inside the box, was a man in the full armour of an ancient centurion. For a moment, it was too incongruous to make sense. The Imperium and risen and fallen since this man had died. The box had been sealed before Andraste’s birth, before the assault on the Black City, before the first Blight. It was supposed to be a box of bones. Ashur had felt the magic as it had dissipated and it had been intricate and expertly woven blood magic, but this? The man himself was just as untouched.

    Summary

    “Do you have two fucking cats?”

    “Of course not.” Without looking up, Ashur checked something off on his own report and flipped to a new page. “I have three.”
