All of my world states already intertwine #KitaDAOC

A flowchart showing how various Inquisitors and Rooks are related via multiple Dalish clans and extended family.

My main world states look like a family tree. They start from one Warden (Cyrus), branch into three Hawkes (blue, red and purple), each Hawke has one Inquisitor, and each Inquisitor has three Rooks.

(Ignoring Harellan and Arjun who exist in their own little world state bubble.)

All three Hawkes die during DAI, so I consider them kind of irrelevant. If I had to pick a canon one, likely Quinn, my purple Hawke Merrill-romancer.

Canon Inquisitor is Mato. Clans Lavellan and Eilir have a good relationship, and so Maya and Kana join the Inquisition later to help out.

Canon Rook is Yama, but every other Rook either also joins the Veilguard or helps out in some capacity, as they are still members of their respective in-game factions.

Regardless of world state, all of my Inquisitors and Rooks are related, either via clan, family or faction:

Mato, Yama, Maya, Enassana, Amatia, and Caramia are extended family

Tatsuo, Mirisa, Kanari, and Yukina are extended family

Maya, Enassana, Amatia, Tatsuo, Mirisa, Kanari, and Yukina are from the same clan (Eilir)

Akimi, Caramia (formerly Clan Eilir), and Harellan are from the same clan (Elfed)

Akimi and Haikina are siblings

Haikina and Arjun are both Lords of Fortune

Thank you for the opportunity to have a print of my Rook (Yama) and Lucanis signed, @willynilly123.bsky.social 💚 I can't wait to have it in-hand. The quote is from the Cameo that I previously requested: "For the rest of our lives, I'm going to tell you what roast you are"

there is one explicit reference to Calivan as "them", but this is Rook responding with a gender neutral term as Calivan's gender has NOT been established yet. afterwards Calivan is always he/him. other "they/them" references are about the Venatori as a whole. likely where confusion is coming from.

Rook: Calivan. You said he's the one in charge?
Lucanis: No. He's a lackey. He runs this place for a powerful magister.
Lucanis: He was my target a year ago. Now we both want him dead.
Rook: "We" meaning...?
Lucanis: Demons don't forgive.

Calivan: Come forth, prisoners!
Calivan: Venatori, bind them!
Calivan: I am the right hand of Zara! You will fall!
Calivan: I will not be defeated!
Calivan: No! I will not be a victim like the others!
Calivan: Fool! Their blood only makes me stronger!
Lucanis: We need to take out the barrier first!
Lucanis: I can handle that.
Calivan: I am in control here!
Calivan: I will have order!
Calivan: Venatori, to me!
Calivan: You are a failed experiment, not worthy of my time.
Calivan: By blood, I command you!
Calivan: I refuse to fall!
Calivan: Demons! Your master calls!
Calivan: Now, Venatori!
Bellara: Oh, that shield's a problem! We can't touch him while it's up!
Calivan: You will pay for your arrogance, Crow.
Calivan: What did they offer you in exchange for my life, Crow? Was it worth it?
Neve: Calivan's shield needs to go!
Calivan: The Ossuary is my domain! No one leaves here!
Harding: He's shielded! We can't touch him!
Calivan: Venatori, cage this rabble!
Calivan: Oh, you brought ruffians with you. Were you lonely?
Calivan: You will return to your chains!
Calivan: I will put you back in your place!
Calivan: You are nothing to the Venatori!

Rook: You're the best mage-killer in the Antivan Crows. So how'd the Venatori catch you?
Lucanis: Someone set me up.
Lucanis: I had a contract for Calivan. In the Ossuary. I took a ship from Treviso to Minrathous.
Lucanis: They were waiting for me. Knew which ship and when it would arrive.

Rook: So, first order of business...?
Lucanis: Blood first, then my target. Calivan. The prison warden.
Rook: Where do we find them?
Lucanis: In the tower. There's a bridge.
Rook: Not anymore. We'll have to find another way across.

One Rook, Tatsuo, had a child, Mirisa "Miri" Thorne. He and his family were attacked by Darkspawn and he was the only survivor, leading to him becoming a Grey Warden. In another universe, Miri is the only survivor and becomes a Grey Warden instead. #KitaDAOC #daOCqotd

An image of 2 tables in 2 rows.

The first table has 3 elves:
- Rook, Age 50 (9:52 Dragon): Tatsuo Thorne
- Wife, Dead at Age 38 (9:40 Dragon): Emiri Thorne
- Daughter, Dead at Age 20 (9:40 Dragon): Mirisa "Miri" Thorne

Emiri's and Mirisa's photos are greyed out.

The second table has the same 3 elves:
- Father, Dead at Age 38 (9:40 Dragon): Tatsuo Thorne
- Mother, Dead at Age 38 (9:40 Dragon): Emiri Thorne
- Rook, Age 32 (9:52 Dragon): Mirisa "Miri" Thorne

Tatsuo's and Emiri's photos are greyed out. Miri is now dressed in Grey Warden armor.

Two Inquisitors, Maya and Kanari "Kana", have children: Enassana "Ena" Lavellan and Yukina "Kina" Rainier-Lavellan Both were "surprises" conceived during the events of DAI and grow up to become Rook during an altered DATV timeline taking place in 9:57 Dragon, where they are 15. #KitaDAOC #daOCqotd

An image of 2 tables in 2 rows.

The first table has 3 elves:
- Estranged Father, Age Unknown: Solas
- Mother, Age 40 (9:57 Dragon): Maya Lavellan
- Rook, Age 15 (9:57 Dragon): Enassana "Ena" Lavellan

The second table has 1 human, 1 elf, and 1 half-elf (using the elf lineage):
- Father, Age 57 (9:57 Dragon): Thom Rainier
- Mother, Age 40 (9:57 Dragon): Kanari "Kana" Lavellan
- Rook, Age 15 (9:57 Dragon): Yukina "Kina" Rainier-Lavellan

finally an excuse to post the alignment chart (includes all of my Inquisitors and Rooks, and even the AU versions of my Rooks) #daOCqotd

An alignment chart with four boxes laid out in a 2x2 grid. The labels from left-to-right and then top-to-bottom are: "Is actually a cinnamon roll", "could actually kill you", "looks like a cinnamon roll", and "looks like they could kill you"

Icons of Rooks and Inquisitors from Dragon Age: The Veilguard are placed appropriately for each character on the grid, denoting their "cinnamon roll" status.
