A set up where a Bard lures people in and has their way with them, then lets the Assassin kill them in their sleep, and gives the bodies over to a Necromancer to make an army with...

@Donut Look Now I also did some work in Closed Captioning, and this is how companies shaft us now - they use AI to machine translate, then throw it at us for "proofreading" so they can pay us less.

We were planning to have Cetra have an extremely well-maintained border.... rigorous seas, and a big wall along the border. Kinda can envision a North/South Korea type of divide there.


Whoah... ok. I now have this sudden idea where maybe... I could take a page from N. Korea defectors.

Considering having my Regalia working for your theocratic Templar force to clean up some secrets but eventually she couldn't take it anymore and she went to the other side (Votara). Was almost killed in the escape, but that's when the Dominant came to her.

Again, just spitballing here, open to ideas or reverting to others if you're not into it.

So it's funny you should mention that, and I'd be happy to work with you as well, but I have also already been writing Votara as having the Regalias of Ramuh (Lighting) and Garuda (Wind) working together, with the Regalia of Garuda an NPC unless they get nabbed by a player later. I'll send you a DM and we can put our heads together on this one!


Sounds great, looking forward to it! Though, are we permitted to do something like this, @Mirandae? I worry that having all three in one nation might run counter to something you had planned.

Though! If Votara is some sort of border / buffer standing against @Tlaloc's prosperous theocratic nation, maybe it makes sense to have them there? Perhaps my Regalia is also harvested for resources alongside being used as some sort of soldier-y person (as she is a criminal and may have less rights than your usual upstanding citizen).

Just brainstorming, very open to suggestions!

I'm currently writing up Votara for my character


Would you like to collaborate? It might be interesting if a nation has 2 Regalias in its clutches.

Also, I like how your Regalia is into disaster cleanup - would you like a relation/connection? One angle I ca
see here is that my character is forced to work alongside yours as a form of community service, and Leviathan being all about water, it sounds like it works well hand in hand.
Is anyone considering Votara or Dalmasca? Am considering changing my character's home to a place with more rivers.






"I look just about like everyone else," he hissed back, though he made an effort to step deeper into the shadows at her observation. Cullen watched her work -or rather, he struggled to do so, as he could barely see her- and gained a new respect for all Leliana's agents. The speed at which they disappeared into darkness like they were made of it was astounding. "Multiplying...? So the previous gathering was much smaller than this, I take it."

It was difficult to hold his tongue throughout the proceedings, hearing all the complaints hefted upon the Inquisition's vulnerabilities and shortcomings. The worst of it was that they weren't wrong in their suffering. He racked his mind for ways to solve the problems without aggravating the situation by rationing, and the only solution that came to mind was to simply find ways to get more of the lyrium, even if it meant expending a few forces to secure it. He had considered putting together a group to raid some of the Circle towers for stores, but given the carnage that Templars have dealt, the veil was no doubt thin in those places. Demons were all but a guaranteed presence there, making whatever efforts at reconnaissance there a costly gamble.

He waited and looked around, not at all pleased with the boldness of those who had gathered. He had to wonder if the same was happening to the few Templars who worked beneath the Inquisition's banner. His eyes tried to identify those whose hoods fell as they made their impassioned cries; were they healers? Or those who worked to support field agents in combat and defenses? Perhaps their services could be turned away from the arcane as they managed this tricky situation. That's all this was, he reminded himself. The situation was the problem, and not the people.

As soon as the gathering dissipated, Cullen would follow Hyacinth away from the crowd, but not without looking over his shoulder. Was he really that out of place?

"Do you know any of them?" he asked the elf, fatigue etched all over his face. "I'd like to find the ringleader of this... this gathering. There's always a leader in these things, and once we get them to stop, the rest should fall into place. The last thing we need right now is our own agents raiding the Inquisition's supply lines." He sighed, crossing his arms. "But this is hardly the place nor the time to discuss. And I suspect you'll have to report to Leliana before anything else. Tell her what you heard today, exactly as you heard them. It should make sure we're on the same page, when I suggest the raids on enemy supply lines."

It was a desperate effort, to be sure, but these were desperate times. They had to use all that they had, and unfortunately, those happened to be the lives of the very agents of the Inquisition.

"I intend to oversee the first one, personally." His hand instinctively went for the dagger at his belt as he said the words. "I will show them that we are doing all we can."







"Well, that was frightfully quick," whispered Alba, as she awoke to the sound of people coming down to open her cell door. "This must mean something very good, or this is the end of the line for me." The pirate eyed each of her imprisoned crew as she passed them, and she mouthed a farewell to all, with a grin. "Addio! Take care of the ship for me, Giuseppe. And you, Alessandra... make certain the sails are repaired. Marco! Do not forget to - agh!" A well placed hit to the ribs silenced the captain, and she was forced to make the rest of the walk to the court with a gag.

Her eyes adjusted to the strange warmth of the hall's abundant sunlight, after hours in the cell, and as soon as they caught sight of the Inquisitor and her advisors, they widened with fascination. Here were the very people who held her life in their hands; Alba wondered why they seemed so much smaller than she thought they would look. Ophelia herself was dwarfed by the ugly throne she sat upon; far better for her bottom to be seated on something more regal than this, thought the pirate. Finally, her gag was removed, and as soon as it was done, the pirate immediately spat on the ground, leaving spatters of blood upon the stone floor. A palpable ripple of disapproval moved through those present.

"This is Alba Selvaggio of Rialto, present here for associations to murder, coercion and the threat of violence," announced a graceful voice, one whose sounds were familiar to the pirate's ears - a fellow Antivan. "She has claims that she and her crew are innocent, but there is plenty of evidence to suggest otherwise. It did not take much time to find out that this woman is the leader of a crew of raiders; I have some old records from my associates that happen to mention her... particularly, as a great leveler of any merchant company's balance sheets. In a word, she is a pirate, Inquisitor."

Alba licked her lips, giving the people before her a bloody grin. Unlike most who appeared before the Inquisition's judgment, the captain stood tall, as if calmly awaiting for death was a common affair. Despite her apparent disdain for the proceedings, she still held her tongue and had enough tact to let the Inquisitor speak first.
@sweetestsins i'm dying. i can't believe she's sitting in judgment this quickly 🤣
I love how the scenes have two different vibes. Hyacinth would give Ophelia a run for her money as Inky!
