Description Page 2 of the first chapter.

Since the artist comments in the first page were so long, I decided to save some for this one.

The story is set between Origins and Awakening, because I felt I had to tell what were they doing in those 6 months. And the idea, as in the story, came to me from a dream I actually had, in which Yllwenn was back with Valendrian. It was me who woke up and wondered "But... wasn't Valendrian taken away by Tevinter slavers?" I mean, in the City Elf Origin, instead of Valendrian, you save Cyrion, the City Elf father, so Valendrian somehow disappears of the story... And that seemed quite an interesting start point for me... so the story just came alone after that.

These are the credits for this chapter. Please go and check their profiles and stalk them and give them all your love because they are awesome beyond words!!!:

This is a work for fun inspired on a character created on the Role Playing Computer Game Dragon Age Origins. The world, settings and most of the characters depicted here belong to Bioware. My vision of Yllwenn Tabris, though, is only mine, as it is the story I'm creating about her and some of the visions of the Lore I'm going to reflect in this story.

Text in the comic has been kindly reviewed by and . All typos and mistakes, however, are mine, as well as the story itself. Text in the comments has not been reviewed and I apologize if my English tears your eyes out.

Thanks for all the support Yllwenn and me are receiving from all the Deviant Art community. I wouldn't be doing this if you weren't there!!!

Sii! Es una espnita que me queda... ΒΏporque lo han de cambiar de un origen a otro? Ya se que asΓ­ implican mΓ‘s al elfo de ciudad, pero es que Valendrian simplemente... desaparece... se supone que se lo han llevado antes... y a mi me quedΓ³ esa espinita...

Ay, sΓ­... tuve como un pΓ‘lpito, que el color de Den-chan le iba a ir bien al estilo de Zin... pero los resultados son asombrosos... Me encanta sobre todo el pelo que hace esta chica, parece que tenga luz propia (por que ellos lo valeeeen )

Well it was the option I chose for the epilogue... and since they still were in peace at the moment...

I think Sten convinced Zev telling him about the wonderful beaches

This is true. But we all know what happens next

I personally liked my Awakening epilogue best: The Warden in a romance with Zevran, some claim that she went to Antiva chasing him. One rumor suggested the pair engaged in a terrible showdown in the Antivan capital, and others say that they took over the Crows. Perhaps they adventure together still.

Yeah but I think Sten left a few things out in his discription

Tehehe, I got that epilogue too and I loved it, but somehow I WANTED to know what those adventures were (and I plan to write them, actually). Also, I think it fits better to their relationship that it is him who comes back to the vigil when he learns what has happened...

But this story is between Origins and Awakening... so there's still time for them to adventure until he comes back to Antiva

I was hoping they might do more with the DLC but sadly my hopes where crushed damn you Bioware why do I let you keep on doing this to me? oh wait I know why cause you supply my fandom crack

Now lets go save some elven salves! Go team!

SoniaCarreras In reply to A-Redheads-Ramblings [2011-09-05 08:54:28 +0000 UTC]

Yes, I thought the same, specially when they said they'd do more companion focused DLCs. Expecting a DLC to help Zevran with the Crows would be too much (since that would interest only to those of us who had romanced him), but one like Leliana's about his past would have been nice. When they said they had changed their mind and that the Warden's story was over after Witch Hunt I just stopped trusting them (which has been confirmed with DA2) and now I'm writing that adventure myself.

yeah! Saving elven slaves is just the beginning you know!

A-Redheads-Ramblings In reply to SoniaCarreras [2011-09-05 09:36:33 +0000 UTC]

They could of done a Crows DLC as the people who didn't romance Zev would go as his friend (kinda like Witch Hunt with the options) and if you didn't want it you dind't have to buy it. Bioware could of done DLC for all the companions between Origins and Awakening which would of kept us happy and given them more time to work on DA2 and more of my money I'd of even be happy with something like Leliana's song for each companion but instead we get Darkspawn chronicles and the GoA but thankfully there are people like you out there where I can get my fix

Let the adventures begin! But first some shopping! XP

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

SoniaCarreras In reply to A-Redheads-Ramblings [2011-09-05 09:58:22 +0000 UTC]

Yes, actually I think so too. They did a DLC for Leliana and one for Morrigan (clearly aimed to male public ). They neglected the male LI's. Zevran's could be like Witch Hunt (helping him with the Crows) and Alistair's like Leliana's (something about his past with the templars). And whoever is not interested, just don't buy it.

But they've already shown us they're a bunch of liars unable to keep their word. A year of DLCs. Ha!

*goes back to write how Zev and Yllwenn took over the Crows together*

A-Redheads-Ramblings In reply to SoniaCarreras [2011-09-05 10:17:26 +0000 UTC]

I think we'd probably find that almost everyone who played DAO would agree with us and ooooooh I wanted Zev and Alistair DLC like that so baaaaaaaaaaaad!

If you add up all the DLC it kinda makes a year's worth ........ yeah I'm not gonna win with that argument am I?

They would take over the Crows like badasses

SoniaCarreras In reply to A-Redheads-Ramblings [2011-09-05 12:30:48 +0000 UTC]

I guess that's what they intended to do (and failed completely) with the cameos in DA2 . Specially Zev's useless and bugged quest (and they don't even plan to fix it anymore T_T).

Mmh, not sure, because they apologized for having changed their mind. When Witch Hunt was released I think there was still room for 3-4 more DLCs.

Yesssss... well, with some humour... This story will have some comedy scenes

I agree there was more to tell after Witch Hunt, maybe some of it will get covered in DA3?

Yay I like da funnies

Dunno, they say DA3 will be focused in a different character, and if the Warden is only going to be referenced at by bugged cameo Love Interests, they can keep it where the sun doesn't shine.

Me too!

I'd say it's Yllwenn's merit... I have never had any leadership skills

But I'm starting to believe Yllwenn has some fans out there... and I'm feeling very very proud!!!

Funny thing is I had never thought about it until I had that dream myself. That was what made me develop the complete story...
