The Lost Stories of Arlathan

by Nightranger45

"The Dalish have myths and legends of the gods; Of how Fen'harel locked the Evanuris away or how Ghilan'nain became the youngest of the pantheon. But they don't tell of Mythal's eldest child. Of how she rejected the attentions of Dirthamen or won a game of wits against Fen'harel without even speaking to him. You wish to know of your people dalen? Let me tell you of Lady Lavellan."

1. Chapter 1

A baby was crying.

Mythal looked at the spirit's pleading expression without remorse.

"My Lady this is a mistake. Please." the spirit was begging, something that it had never done before.

Mythal raised a perfect eyebrow, "Oh? How so?"

Knowledge's pleading posture went away she took a deep breath, "The child will be exactly as you want it to be. Proud, bold, she will care for her family and be an excellent replacement for you were something to happen."

"That is not bad."

Knowledge shook it's head, "It will come at a terrible price."

"What is it?"

"Your people. They will hate you and the others of your family, you will be dethroned and avenged, then you may gain your titles back, if the right decisions are made."

Mythal looked at her with a frown, "Is that all?"

"No. But it is the only thing that affects you."

Mythal crossed her arms, "Tell me, what is most likely to happen if I go through with the ritual?"

Knowledge stiffened visibly and lowered her head, and said something in a deathly whisper.

Mythal raised an eyebrow, "I'm sorry? I didn't hear you."

The spirit looked up, "Peace."

Mythal gave a cruel smile, "I thought so."

Her magic flared up, and the spirit of Knowledge one of the oldest spirits in Arlathan, was gone.

The baby stopped crying.

Right so end of the super short story. I'm planning on doing more, kind of wanna get this idea out of my head. So a few things you need to know if you plan on keeping up with this.

1)I am changing canon familial relations (Other than adding a person) Obviously Mythal and Elgar'nan are the elven equivalent of husband and wife. They have two children, Anduriel and Atisha'ni. Elgar'nan and June are brothers, Sylaise is their mother. She also is the official guardian of Falon'din and Dirthamen. HOWEVER they are not considered family to her birth children or any related to them (ie. Elgar'nain's children). Ghila'nain is like canon, with Anduriel but they have not gone through an official joining.

2)This will not stick to the small amounts of lore we have on them so if you are expecting that then be disappointed.

3)This is NOT a Solvellan story. Solas will make several appearances due to his interactions with the Evanuris but Atisha (Lavellan) and Solas will have no direct contact.

4)This will be more or less a drabble series but if you squint reeeeaaaalllyyyy hard you might see a plotline.

5)I put my schoolwork first and won't put a set date on updates. However I will try hard to update frequently.

6)If you want to see something specific put your prompt in a review. The highest rating I will go is T.

7)Stories will vary in length

8)I love making these points. It's like a number than shift then zero and BOOM it looks official. OK I'll stop now. Bye.
