Codex Entry: Inquisitor Ambeth Lavellan (9:12 Dragon - Present)

Tw: Ambeths backstory involves a cohersed relationship with a human noble and thus sexual assault. Please do not click the 'read more' button if you are uncomfortable interacting with such content.

Born 9:12 Dragon to Clan Lavellan, Ambeth grew up in the Free Marches, predominantly in the lands surrounding Ostwick. At this time in history Clan Lavellan rarely travelled far and had good trade connections with the Eastern City States as well as many friends in the alienage's in the area.

In 9:29 Ambeth caught the eye of a married noble man from Wycome who had a 'thing' for elves. He threatened to have the clan 'dealt with' if she didn't co-operate/accept his courtship. In 9:30 she fell pregnant and the clans keeper finally found out about the coerced affair. Clan Lavellan moved further west in order to get Ambeth away from the situation and to protect themselves from retaliation from the nobleman or - after Ambeth decided to keep the child - the possibility that he would try and take the baby from her. It was common practice in noble circles at the time for half-elven bastards to be taken on as serving staff or simply 'dealt with' to avoid any societal shame that came with having such offspring.

Ambeth had her son in 9:31 Dragon near the southern Navaran border. A half human child who - after Ambeth fought to have him accepted despite his half-elf status - was raised collectively by Clan Lavellan with the rest of the clans children. Unlike practices in human cultures, Clan Lavellan is one of a number of dalish tribes who collectively raise children rather than leaving the responsibility solely up to the parents.

Throughout the 9:30's Ambeth grew and finally accepted her Valislin in 9:35 at the age of 23. She chose to accept it in honour of the God June, God of Crafts and Building. She became a well regarded hunter of her clan, proving to have remarkable skill with a long sword, something that would help her grateful when she became the leader of the fight against Corypheus in 9:41.

Known for her angry streak, Ambeth had an intense sense of duty to her clan and worked tirelessly to protect them even during the events of 9:41 - 9:42. This duty is speculated to have been born from the guilt of having to move them from their usual trade roots and the safe spaces they'd scouted for good spots to camp. While there were no recorded attacks on Clan Lavellan during their time in the West, it is well known that the Navaran Boarders and surrounding areas have operating slave rings which aim to capture elves and sell them to Tevinter.

The events that led her to the Divine Conclave are not confirmed but rumour persists that in 9:40 she found out that the nobles of Wycome would be taking a trip to Haven for the Divine Conclave. She decided to go so she could kill her sons father. This would allow her clan to go back to the East, allow her son to continue to grow without fear of ever having to deal with his biological father, and allow her personal revenge.

Before she joined the inquisition Ambeth was justifiably distrustful of shemlins and there are eye witnesses reports of her many arguments and disagreements with Seeker Cassandra Pentaghast about accepting her role as Herald and Inquisitor and her discomfort at living in such close quarters with so many humans (though this presumably changed, as not only did she lead the inquisitions armies to victory in 9:42, she also eventually married Commander Cullen Rutherford in 9:44 Dragon shortly before the Exalted Council and the disbanding of the Inquisition).

Welcome to my blog! Here you'll find OFMD brainrot (particularly Izzy/Ed/Stede) and Dragon Age ramblings.

For context, some of my Dragon Age OC’s. From right to left, top to bottom, we have:

Ambeth Lavellan: an elven warrior, Ambeth has no interest in being the inquisitor. Unfortunately, her protestations have fallen mostly on deaf ears. My only inquisitor who is also a mother, Ambeth is keenly aware of her son back with her clan. Her romance with Cullen was a slow, soft thing.

Alexandria ‘Alex’ Hawke: A soft, diplomatic girl who holds the world on her shoulders and always sees the good in those around her, Alex Hawke has a group of friends that would kill to keep her safe. She is immensely in love with her wife Merrill.

Merripen Lavellan: Merripen Lavellan was born a twin, and when his brother died from the plague, he devoted his life to Falon’Din, Elven God of Death and Fortune. Now, he lives a supposedly quiet life with The Iron Bull, although rumours abound about his close contact with his previous Spy Master and one Dorian Pavus, and what plans he may have for the future.

Aiden Hawke: my canon Hawke, my beloved, my angry boi, my favourite. Full of rage, Aiden started ripping the world apart when his sister was taken to the circle. He fell in love with Anders because of the work Anders was doing for the mage underground, a course he violently believed in. He was very, very tragic and very, very angry and I loved him with my whole soul.

DeLila Cadash: my canon inquisitor, my beloved, my girl, my favourite. The youngest of six, a warrior and a closet nerd, DeLila found a family in the inquisition she never thought she'd have. She misses them all dearly, but loves running rooftops with her wife, infamous Red Jenny Sera (extra pics and info: x x x)

Queen Lillian Hawke: A power hungry blood mage, Lillian finds it mildly funny that her friends, even her biographer, all also kinda hate her. Her relationship with Sebastian led to her claiming the title of Queen of Starkhaven, along with Champion of Kirkwall and Provisional Viscount of Kirkwall.

Aban Adaar: my sweet, shy mage qunari who loves gardening and his wife Lady Josephine Montilyet (extra pics and info: x x x x)

Jenny Hawke: Crazy, sacrastic, and a little obsessed with gold coin (if prone to over-spending with them), Jenny deflected all her problems with sarcasm. She also had a weakness for pirate queens.

Rust Cadash-Rainier: whatever her original name was, it's been lost to time. Now she goes by Rust and is learning to cook eggs with her husband (who, rumour has it, may once have been a war criminal, if one can believe the kindly man who spends his free time making toys for children is the same Thom Rainier that Orlais tried to execute), and also fighting to put a stop to Solas's stupidity (fightings in her bones, she could never put down her daggers) (extra pics and info x x x)

Thank you to everyone who puts up with me talking about these idiots, and the many more I'm no doubt likely to create and talk about in the future - my asks are always open if you have any questions about any of them, from which songs I think fit them to their backstories to the choices they made in game x

Some links to other things you may be interested in (because tumblr only lets you pin one post at a time):

I run two discord groups: a Dragon Age one, and an OFMD SteddyHands centric One. Both are 18+. If you want a link to either, please message me and we'll sort something out. Both are v chill communities.
