Beyond the Western Wastes

by Dagon Fell

Set during the time of Dragon Age Inquisition and just before the Goddess of Destruction. OC Characters but based on in game customizable protagonists. for Dragon Age I went for The Path of the Seeker -look, while for Lineage II I prefer the original art that ended with Hellbound. This is a Tale of what would happen if Thedas had Gracia, Elmore, and Aden to the West...

1. Chapter 1

"BEYOND THE WESTERN WASTES"

LINEAGE II - DRAGON AGE INQUISITION

Aden & Elmore being to the west of Orlais

Preface:

Dark elves were once the first elves, fair skinned but physically as they are today. but Gran Kain's rape of Shilien brought a cure to elves. part became dark elves, while others became thinner and more girly and stayed as elves. Shilien's younger sister Eve tried to save as many elves as she could but being younger are more lithe - her saved elves started to share her features.

The Godswar was fought between Shilien, her six Dragon Children and her Dark elves against Grand Kain and her Humans Later Einhasad and Eva joined on Grand Kain's Side the Orcs and their God came to save the Dark Elves and Shilien from total destruction and the dwarves with their god sold weapons and armor to both sides

Antharas ravaged the south while Valakas burned the north, yet two dragons died besides them: one felled by Grand Kain and another by Einhasad.

that made both elder gods to refrain from affecting the war any longer

two of the remaining four dragons linked their souls to Gracian constructs

and became dark elf and human

thus the Goddesses of Dusk and Dawn were born

but instead of these two sisters staying together, the Gracians had placed a curse on these constructs... dawn and dusk would always fight one another

thus Asakim the human of dawn would fight Lilithe the dark elf of dusk

the dark elves and orcs were winning against the elves and humans, as the humans had no mages they begged the elves to teach them magic. the elves had no other choice but to do so. or else the war would be lost

this shifted the tide

at the end of the war, the orc god was tied to a mountain literally became a volcano around him as the fire god would be freed eventually by his own fire over the earth that bound him. and since the dwarf god bound him there the orcs started a holy war against the dwarves... until the great empire of humans: elmorhedd was founded

elves never stopped fighting the dark elves. even if Shilien was split in half by eve

the warrior and the sorceress were now separate. to combine them would bring forth a goddess of destruction.

the time of the great empire was that of wars unification war then Baium the emperor challenged the gods and the empire fell as the heavens sent their legions to punish the heretics

ironically this happened the same time as tevinter mages entered the golden city

but from the ashes of elmorhedd came the kingdom of elmore, the dark empire of dark elves, the lake kingdom of elves, the kingdom of giran, the alliance of gludio, the duchy of aden, the covenant of the talkng island, the duchy of heine, the duchy of rune and both the dwarven alliance and the orc kingdom

all that changed when the second unification war was fought, but not one kingdom was found from this... but two: Elmore stayed and Aden became the southern kingdom Dwarves and Orcs were part of Elmore

Elves and Dark elves were part of Aden

and yet... humans ruled over them in each Kingdom

Author's Notes:

This is merely the Preface, not the Prelude, nor the Prologue which will all come before Chapter 1.

All Main Characters are Original Characters based upon what you could made in each game, but with a strong RPG flair to them.

I do not own either franchise: NC Soft Owns Lineage II and Bioware/EA owns Dragon Age.
