I Love Grey Wardens Who Are Visibly Tainted And Under A Death Sentence And Dark-veined And Hollow-eyed

i love grey wardens who are visibly tainted and under a death sentence and dark-veined and hollow-eyed <3 i love grey wardens whose eyes gleam like a predator’s when they sense darkspawn and whose heads snap in that direction like a bloodhound catching the scent <3 i love grey wardens who move too fast and hunger for too much and whose jaws unhinge a little too far <3 i love grey wardens who hum under their breaths a song you don’t know that sends chills up your spine <3 i love grey wardens who move in impossible synchrony and who scream when one of their number is injured without even having to turn to see it <3 i love grey wardens who have forgotten all the loyalties they once had in favour of the hunt <3 i love grey wardens <3

So depending on how complex non-awakened darkspawn communication is, i want to see them have a linguistic distinction between their alphas and the dwarven/human/elven commanders, but only if uniquely among the non-darkspawn military leaders, Warden-Commanders are referred to as alphas instead of commanders

The Wardens and the darkspawn are kin, and the darkspawn know it

researching parrying daggers as a fun little treat and i'm delighted by how much every single one of these things looks like it's designed to be as annoying as possible

Y'all might've found this already, but I figured why not share it here as well?

I just found this post in r/acecombat where user ALDO113A made a google doc transcript of all of Ace Combat Zero, and I figured this would be super handy to also share here :)

(Within the doc, there's also a link to a google drive folder containing transcripts for other ace combat games)

(And I also found a shortcut(?) to a folder titled "Lore entries and resources", and there's a pdf of the 2019 Aces At War inside that folder)

FIRST OF ALL y’all need to show Anora Mac Tir some love, because if you stay true to your word, she flips that ride or die switch for you REAL QUICK. She comes out in support of you as long as you promise to support her (rightful!) claim as monarch and just do what you can to spare her father. And when you do spare him, Alistair will say Fuck you, go die alone, I’m not just leaving the Wardens, I’m not even going to Redcliffe as King (which, if you’ve romanced him, cuts like a knife). So, what does Anora do? Laces up that armor and says We ride at dawn, bitches. Then hypes you up to all your troops at the gate.

PUT SOME RESPECT ON HER NAME
