Tales from the Fade

@talesfromthefade / talesfromthefade.tumblr.com

"Any building strong enough to withstand the rigors of time has a history. Every battlefield is steeped in death. Both attract spirits. They press against the Veil, weakening the barrier between our worlds. When I dream in such places, I go deep into the Fade. I find memories no other living being has ever seen."

So, in the last few weeks I made a new Inquisitor/baby to cosplay on TikTok, started a new DAI game/file for him, and now I’m writing about him because he took on a life of his own, I never learn, and this franchise clearly owns my soul. Hope you enjoy! <3

Hamin Lavellan (DA:I, prologue), for @dadrunkwriting & @aly-the-writer

They get it wrong. They always do, of course. Solas may not be Dalish, but even he must know from the bow and quiver that’s strapped to his back, and without an ounce of magical blood running through him that he wasn’t First to the Keeper for Clan Lavellan. Hamin doesn’t bother to correct them, though, and the strange elven wanderer seems content to follow his lead. They’ve already decided on a narrative too, these Shems. Pigeon-holed him into a story that features him saved and designated the messenger by a God he doesn’t even believe in.

Hamin doesn’t bother to say much where he can help it. Cassandra is hardly the first human to brandish threats or weapons at him, but unlike a good deal of his and his fellow hunter’s scrapes in the past, she seems quite capable of backing them up, could probably best him. He’s trained the same as any of their Clan’s hunters, knows his way around a dagger or two as well as his preferred bow, but Hamin has always seen and fought better at a distance.

So, he does as his Keeper had advised him before sending him off, and tries to remain, if not unseen, then, at least, unheard. He bites his tongue so often there’s a rumor that their “Herald of Andraste” may be mute. Hamin may not in chains anymore, but the abrupt change of heart in the Seeker and the rest of this Inquisition, its followers, and even the pilgrims is less a comfort and more a reminder of the mutability of the minds of Shems, particularly in large numbers. Those hearts and minds that smile and clap for him now could be changed again, turned once more against him, whenever it suits them.
