Description The tragic origin of my Cousland. XD

Yeah, I racked my brains out trying to figure it out realistically. Considering that in a medieval sort of setting a bastard son for a man means a stain on his honor at most, while a woman who cheats on her husband gets to experience a quite more gruesome fate – and how to fit it in a quite happy Cousland family format…

Oh well, I imagine that on his way of becoming a total villain in DA, Rendon Howe was gradually pushing moral boundaries …and seducing teyrna Eleanor was just one of them. Elen never confessed this to her husband and Bryce may have been suspecting that his younger heir is not really his (but not who the father may be), but out of love for his wife he never brought it up. Harvey, the unfortunate fruit of the affair was always treated kindly by Bryce, though with a bit of hesitance that did not go unnoticed by the boy. And not to mention with a lot of living up to expectations shit. Which Harvey didn’t most of the time.

If Rendon knew Harvey was his son I’m guessing he did not really care. He did not care about his legitimate children enough not to go batshit crazy and screw the whole Howe family over.

Well, I guess Eleanor being beheaded or Harvey being sent to the Howe family is still more probable...but I guess stranger things had happened. Never underestimate a man's love for a woman.

(Haha, for the life of me I can’t draw Rendon. He looks like a hammer just smashed his face or something XD)

RENDON'S FACE IS A HORSE-FACE WHEN HE'S AN OLD MAN, but I aged down his face with the toolset to make him about 30 years old, and he is sexyfine like whoa. [link] I see now why his children are all hot.

Stupid sexy Rendon. He didn't age well, though...I always headcanon that it was his inner greed and wrath that distorted his features as he grew older.... Because I do imagine he was quite charming when he was younger and with that voice >:3.
Yep. His children are all hot.

AGREED; if young Rendon Howe was not a snarky, smarmy, sassy, altogether schmoozingly charming young man, then they're not using Tim Curry's voice properly. STUPID, SEXY HOWE.

And in the end, only voice remains out of his former glory. xD

Pff now I understad it better xD okay...I hope they were really drunk, I can't bear Howe, I just can't (yes, yes, I have a Cousland and that is one of the reasons xD). So complicated things happens in noble families...so why not? Bryce is a cool papa :3

Well, I guess he does give slight reasons for not liking him... XDD But he's a villain I love to hate, if you know what I mean. :3 Yeah, it was kind of a mistake on Elen's part...and a one time thing. There was some flirting prior to that and then the alkohol did the rest. XDD

Yes. Bryce was a cool papa, I guess Harvey didn't realise how cool...until he was dead. (THE DRAMA!! DDDX)

Yes, I think Howe is a great character in the game, evil, but great as a villain (one of the things I miss so much in DA2, in fact, is a true bad guy to defeat :/ ).
Ohh...alcohol makes people do so many mistakes xD People, don't drink that much!
It breaks my heart every time I see the Couslands die Y^Y

I like the look on Harvey's face. "How what happened, dad?"

If I was Elena, I would of said my great great grandmother had a big nose or something rather than admit to of slept with Howe.

:'D

Oh, she didn't admit to anything...that would doom her and her son. But Bryce did never ask, so...

Because Bryce is awesome. *nodnod* And I bet Elena steered clear of Howe after that.

Bo to w sumie parodia ma być. Cała sytuacja jest absurdalna, bo gdyby się dowiedział, to pewnie własnoręcznie wykastrowałby Rendona (przyjaciel czy nie). Matkę z dzieckiem też pewnie by nie spotkało nic miłego. To mialo być coś w stylu "dwójka niegrzecznych dzieci na dywaniku u dyrektora". Nie wiem ile z tego zamysłu udało mi się tu oddać.
