    Summary

    本帖是与我的同人版DA4项目相关联的所有原创codex entry的合集。

    我对Veilguard极其失望。在一言难尽的失望原因之中,Veilguard的lore表现水平和codex写作方向给我带来的失望夹杂着最多的滑稽色彩。
    如果说前几作里铺垫好的北塞各国风貌初始设定、续作主干情节和矛盾走向、以及关键角色刻画延续性的彻底丧失是我锥心痛恨的主要来源,而Veilguard对北塞各国看似全覆盖实则打卡敷衍的刻画则令我发笑。故事聚焦在了北塞达斯,但对北塞达斯各国的政治、地理、民情、社会面貌等等方面的具体介绍却乏善可陈——就拿塔文特举例子吧。谁敢相信呢,主角都在塔文特皇国首都逛街了,(尤其是精灵主角)都喊得出for minrathous了,都能莫名其妙地钦定大执政官了,游戏给出的有关皇国安教会、皇国体制运作细节、皇国地理文化概况、皇国世情面貌之类的信息却依然无限接近于零;塔文特皇国安教会的体系是什么样的,有没有特色职位?皇国法环和皇国安教会之间的关系是怎样的,Laetan法师在理想情况下会如何升迁?法师的人口比例是多少,有没有成建制的法师作战部队?哈哈,竟然什么都没有!
    Veilguard在对应领域的写作质量简直烂到了一个 我 上 我 也 行 的地步。因此,我将毫无愧怍地直接编新Lore,而对于Veilguard吃的那些书和用核弹暴力“填平”的那些坑,我也将毫无愧怍地直接扔了重写。

    Summary

    Inquisition Corp. functions as the invisible hand of the Divine in New Haven.

    Yet when NEO, a company out of Tevinter, revolutionizes the entire world with their Automaton invention: spirits bound into the mechanical bodies of automatic beings... Thedas enters the new "Electrical Age."

    All but one seems to question the promises of these tech giants. When a strange new automaton is brought in for diagnostics, with freckled skin that betrays the manufactured mass of wires lying beneath, Evelyn finds that everything she thought she knew will be turned upside down, head over heels.


    Evelyn stares blankly into the stormy sea, their gaze meeting.

    “The difference is that my central nervous system isn’t a mass or wires and code.”

    “No,” it grins again, a slight upturn. “I suppose it would not seem that way to you.”

    Her eyes sharpen to a glare. “So, what– there’s no difference between us at all?”

    “None more than the sum of any other creatures, when compared.”

    Summary

    ‘Yes,' Solas says quietly. 'I believe that everyone on this boat has a secret.'
    Felassan raises an eyebrow. ‘Even you?’
    Solas looks out across the river, and for a moment he is dizzy with the way the waves beckon him, the little lies they tell in every shift of the tide. He should deny it, but he finds that he cannot.
    ‘Most especially me,' he says heavily.

     Solas is a famous detective with a troubled history dating back to the wars that destroyed his homeland. When he embarks on a cruise along the Enavuris River to pursue a lead in his most recent case, he encounters a passionate love triangle which comes to a fatal end.

    Complicating the tragedy is the fact that the victim Justinia, heiress to the Chantry fortune, was murdered with Solas’ own gun. And then there’s the problem of his extremely inconvenient attraction to the prime suspect, Jacqueline Lavellan.

    As the cruise continues through the wilderness, rapidly approaching the Veil that separates the south of Thedas from the mysterious north, Solas races to uncover the truth before the killer can strike again.

    Summary

    In Thedas, a slew of wildfires cause massive death, destruction and famine about 200 years after Solas swore his life and power to preserve the veil. With the mass suffering drawing the attention of spirits, the pull of the veil leaves him drained and desperation has him turning to uthenera for respite.

    Written for day six of Solavellan Week 2025: I will always come back to you.

    Summary

    Three hundred years ago, Fen'harel successfully tore down the Veil he created to sunder the physical world from the Fade. Since then, he has tried time and time again to heal some of the damage he's made to the world and to himself, to no avail. His heart remains in the past, with a mortal woman who he loved for so short a time—Inquisitor Ellana Lavellan.

    Three hundred years later, Ellana should be dead. Instead, she wakes up to a foreign and destroyed world full of spirits and elves living harmoniously. Humans and Qunari are a dying race, and the land is being ruled by two gods who hate one another. She finds herself being used as a pawn against the man she's certain has forgotten her; after all, what are three centuries against a year-long affair?

    ~

    There are some spoilers regarding the lore that was revealed in the Veilguard, but otherwise this is canon-divergent from that game.
