    Summary

    The ancient elvhen were formed in pairs. They called it the dirthara’elgar – the truth of the spirit. One soul in two bodies, their love for each other written across their skin in flowing lines of pure mana. All except one, whom the elvhen named He Who Hunts Alone. A pretty name for an ugly truth.

    When the veil was formed it cut the material plane off from the fade. The elves lost their empire, their magic, and their markings, their souls separated and diminished.

    Until Ellana Lavellan fell from the fade with a butchered soul marking on her palm.

    Summary

    Everything was bathed in blood-red hue. She saw remnants of what could only be described as Arlathan. Beautiful cities are now laying in ruin. She slowly walked through the torn streets cautiously, constantly looking around thinking something was going to pop up and ambush her. But her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a monstrous roar. Several actually and the sound of a wolf. Amanatha sprinted towards the sounds, leaping over and sliding under the debris until she found herself blocked by what appeared to be mutated plants. The roars sounded again, and she spotted the source ahead. She saw what looked to be several corrupt dragons, even more massive than the dragons in the waking world. Something stirred within her. Something familiar and terrifying. A dark howl ripped through the sky. It was defiant but singular and radiated a power she had not felt before, yet it was familiar. Her eyes widened in surprise as she rounded a corner. A wolf as black as night with six eyes as red as a burning fire stood before the several dragons.

    Summary

    What if, instead of a normal Lavellan at the Conclave, an immortal elvhen went in their place and became the Herald? What effect would this have on the budding Inquisition and Thedas? And what effect would this have on everyone's favorite bald apostate? Will Halia inspire Solas to save Thedas as it is, or tear it down to its foundations and build anew?

    Summary

    The Forgotten Ones weren't always... well, forgotten. The stories were likely partially true, the tales of cruelty and hiding in the darkness. They were everything they shouldn't have been - those who caused terror, pain, despair. The woman the world would eventually know as Inquisitor Lavellan was, in fact, a Forgotten One. Somehow Isathe was not imprisoned by the Dread Wolf in the abyss with the rest of them. Whatever the reason, the former spirit of Curiosity coaxed into physical form was stuck in the aftermath of that event. She felt the moment the Veil was created and pulled her even farther from her home. Then she slept. Slept for thousands of years until she woke in a world where elves were no longer what they had been. She had to find a way to stay alive and adjust to the world that formed from the Betrayal so long ago.

    Isathe was an ancient elf, a member of the Forgotten Ones and awakened years before the Breach before being pulled into the Inquisition. Hiding herself from the prying eyes of those who would condemn her for her past, the wolf that haunts her dreams and the unsettling gaze of the apostate elf who appeared to know more than he let on.

    Just another elf come to serve the Inquisition... That's what you hope to be, anyway. But you're an elf with a secret, and a little bit too much pride to just blend in peacefully.
