Wardens: Alienage

Description

Fourth and final in a series of my Grey Warden shots. These are the guys I'm importing for my four planned Hawkes, so there's no Cousland or Aeducan.

Soraia Tabris is, as you can probably tell, full of rage. She started out fairly content - happy to help her fellow alienage elves, and occasionally get into a little mischief thanks to the rogue skills her late mother imparted. She always held a sore spot about elven mistreatment by the local humans, and more often than once got into trouble for talking back to the guards.

Though settling down wasn't Soraia's ideal life choice, she looked forward to her wedding - a way to give back and serve her community, and her groom seemed nice enough. Soraia looked forward to her new life.

Bann Vaughan changed all that when he kidnapped Soraia and half of the female wedding party. Raping her cousin Shianni was the last straw. Soraia left the Arl of Denerim's estate in chaos, bathing in blood as she cut down any shems in her path, including Vaughan himself. Only Duncan's recruitment saved her from the hangman's noose.

Now she has a life of adventure she always desired, but the bitterness is still there. Darkspawn aren't the only beings that need fear her. Redcliffe lies in ruins from her refusal to aid a human village. Only her journey to the Urn of Sacred Ashes and the companionship of people like Leliana and Alistair helps quell some of Soraia's bitterness towards the shemlen, though she still distrusts most humans by default.

With the archdemon dead, Soraia alternates her time between helping Shianni represent the alienage at Landsmeets, and traveling the countryside with her stalwart companion and lover, Zevran.

Though I'm overall happy with this piece, I admit this one's a bit rushed because yesterday a mod was released on the BSN forums - a mod that unlocks the character creator in the DA2 demo. Well, and difficulty settings/the inventory, but I don't really care about those right now. Sooo... Now that I've been able to create Declan and my other Hawkes in-game, expect to see some art of them very, very soon. :P

Hehe, thanks for the heads up to that mod. I had fun with it yesterday and I can tell you did too. >:3 I wish you could make the hair longer or shorter as you can in Oblivion, but oh well; hopefully there's more features in the finished product of DA2.

I don't see how anyone wouldn't be full of rage after having to go through what a fem!Tabris had to in the Origin stories. I think it looks great. Dagger point is a bit tilted, or maybe that's just me. ^^;
