Solace 16, 9:31 Dragon

Okay, I just gotten back from the Kirkwall Docks helping out a new friend of mine and I can't fall asleep right now, so I figure I'll right in this journal till I dose off or make it through the night. Whatever comes first.

Where to start..? Well a week back, Shadow and I finally made it to Kirkwall! Kirkwall! In the brick and walls! I mean this city is truly amazing, and it looks very similar to the city of Rome during the Ancient times! Then again Kirkwall was part of the Tevinter Imperium who are Thedosian Romans so... makes sense I guess. Man Bioware has been holding out on me! :(

One of my first stops was, you guessed it, The Hanged Man, which was bigger and more exciting than depicted in Dragon Age 2, for one reason they don't replay the same tavern song over and over AND OVER again, and two, I've seen a coupled of good brawls. That's where I also met my favorite dwarf: The world famous Varric Tethras. For even human women, Varric has that rugged handsome look to him, not to mention pretty strong looking and very agile in a fight. I would say if Varric was human, he would draw quite a crowd for his chesthair :P but Bianca is known for being the jealous type XD

We later on went up to Hightown, which is where the wealthy and powerful live and relax obviously, and it can span for miles! Much like Lowtown, which is not as bad as it looks and it's not all brown an clay like but more run down stone like texture. Hightown buildings and the surroundings had a new and sterile white look to it. Hightown is also the place I got to meet the future Champion of Kirkwall: Marian Hawke (But she prefers Mari) And Bethany (She doesn't mind Beth though) :)

Mari is a fellow tomboy, with her black short messy hair, badass armor, and a pretty sick claymore. She's also taller than me. I'm like 5'5 ft tall, but Mari's like... I dunno... 5'8? She's sassy, tough, and probably the last person you wanna mess with, but she's a nice person too don't worry :P

Bethany (thank god she's alive) is a shy, kind-hearted, and knows how to cast some spells, but she's also an apostate, which makes her a target for templars, but she hides herself very well because she doesn't have a staff on her and she's pretty good with a sword. She's my best friend, and there is no way in hell I'm gonna let be sent off to the Gallows.

Their mom, Leandra Hawke is a nice beautiful middle-aged lady, but also sad. Losing Lothering and living in her brothers junk house can do that.. :( I'm glad me and Beth helped her recover the will her dad made for her, and pretty pissed at her younger brother, Gamlen.

Speaking of which, Gamlen is the exact opposite of Leandra: hideous, selfish, smells like shit, breath smells like bad ale, and looks like he hasn't slept in two weeks! That's pretty much sums him up right now. Let's see later on if he has a more selfless side.

The future Guard Captain of Kirkwall: Aveline Vallen is a lot prettier than Bioware pictures her. Her red hair is tied in a knot due to Guard regulations, but she's shorter than Mari, about Beth's and my height. But even with that armor on, she looks like a freaking battering ram! like with Mari, Beth and Varric, Aveline is good friend and we all hung out at the Hanged Man one night and it was a pretty good night.

The last and latest addition to our would be group is the infamous Queen of the Eastern Seas, Former Captain of the Sirens Call, and an unmatched duelist: The voluptuous Isabela. Yeah I went with voluptuous! I mean if you thought Isabela was hot in Dragon Age 2, oh man all those poor gamers back on Earth haven't seen ANYTHING! Yeah she's that hot! I dare say beyond hot! Hotter than Miranda Lawson. Yeah I went there too (sorry Miri) XD Oh she's also the tallest out of all of us, even taller than Mari like 5'11. But in my travels when I was in Rivain, the people their were pretty tall, and a different dialect than Isabela (like more... tropical tribal like) Plus Rivian, the free Rivain, is such a beautiful place. Getting sidetrack. Yeah Isabela is beyond hot, tall, graceful duelist, and she is really flirtatious and teases me (then again she does than with everyone) but during some serious situations, she expresses care and she's also wise due to her travels. It was sad to watch her toss her tricorn hat into the ocean, and the look on her face.. she really missed her ship and her crew. But on a happier note, we got Castillon off her back for now, and she agreed to be apart of our expedition. Bells already met Av and I can tell already that they are going to be at each others throats like sisters would be. Catfight bets? All on Isabela! She also became quick friends with Varric and Bethany too, but hasn't met Mari yet. Somehow I just get the feeling Mari and Bells would be together maybe it's just because I romanced Bells in the game. Well.. back when I thought it was a game.

Bottom line is I met these awesome people, and now I am freaking tired. Have a good night and peace out! :)


I know a lot of the punctuation is off but that's on purpose because it's Raven's (Chris's) journal and she can get away with that. I hope I could capture more of this world with this journal and hope you guys like tweeks I made :P
