No one knows who makes the candlehops in Minrathous.

Found these little lovelies while poking around in the game files. One for each companion, and they’re all carved by Davrin, if the filenames are to be believed.
As far as I can tell, they only show up in the team assignments cinematic for the final quest (and pretty briefly at that).
Would have loved to see Davrin actually making them, instead of whittling at the same wooden block all the time. :’(

one tiny little detail i love about Veilguard is the absolutely random Memento and codex entry – one of the shortest in the game – that simply notes that if the Chantry ever tries an Exalted March against the elves again, the Antivan Crows (and thus Antiva itself) are going to fucking throw hands. Functionally, it’s a conditional but perpetual declaration of war.

No long-winded sanctimony about their guilt, no long annoying thinkpiece, just: “If they or anyone else ever try anything like that again against the elves, either The Chantry (or whoever else) won’t be left standing or Antiva won’t.”

Got new commentary this time around. post internal ossuary odyssey. “Rook, if there’s anyone I trust with my thoughts, it’s you.”

Is this a Crows only comment?

I have a dragon age: the veilguard question that is burning me up. I have several actually, but this one is most pressing. WHO RUNS PAST while you are in Kal-Sharok?

If Treviso is devastated.
Lucanis can’t look at Crow Rook when he breaks up with them.

Oooooh, and I was non-Crow devastated. Ouch. Ouch. Ouch.

I have a theory that the game, the narrative, wants you to save Treviso. It is SO much worse in Treviso than in Minrathous. SO MUCH WORSE. Blight in the water. Ugh.
