A Song For Usurpers by ZianaV

Summary
Rook has failed, and everything is in ruins. Everyone is dead, and she stands amid the destruction, knowing that nothing can be done or undone.
Against all odds, she used to say, no matter what, she used to believe, never look back, she would repeat to herself. None of that mattered or made sense now when the future was crushed.
Just as she accepted her fate and was ready to surrender her life, her path was changed. Mythal intervened, casting her millennia into the past — to the gleaming gates of Ancient Arlathan. Changing the will of gods is a heavy burden to bear, but Rook is haunted by the dying words of those who fell for her, and she knows she must not stop. Cannot stop.
But is duty all that matters? Is duty above love, or desire? Or is duty merely the veil that covers the pursuit of the deepest, darkest of desires? Will her heart stay untouched and hardened, while her duty is to unlock the heart of another?
Rook, whose original name is Idunn, is my original D&D character, and the story will blend Dragon Age and D&D lore. The blend is subtle and well-explained, and you will not need prior D&D knowledge.

The Sacred And The Arcane by ZianaV for virevas

Summary
Aurora is an ambitious young art historian with a mysterious past she doesn’t fully understand. Her desire to find a place in the world leads her to a group with hidden agendas, gradually revealing a reality she never thought possible. Myths turn into truth, dreams take shape, and a figure once thought to be only a legend from a troubled, fabled past stands before her.
In other words, Solas is once again spinning his schemes and donning masks, much to the misfortune - or perhaps fortune - of an unsuspecting MC.
Aurora belongs to my beloved friend

Summary
In the clash between the Dreadwolf and Lusacan, both were slain. No one was strong enough to keep the Veil from falling apart. No one, except Rook's final nemesis, Elgar'nan. In a last effort to prevent an inevitable catastrophe, the remaining survivors of the Veilguard tie Elgar'nan to the Veil and send him back to Prison. All seems well, and they go on with their lives, mourning and honouring the fallen and rebuilding from the ashes. It is a bittersweet peace, but peace nonetheless.
Rook, though, cannot go on. Rook cannot heal and cannot escape the past. She cannot forgive and cannot have enough vengeance. There is no future for her, and the memory of those who have died because of her is keeping her tethered to the past, regrets, and wrath.
Elgar'nan is there to take advantage of that, while she takes advantage of having him weak and powerless. In a grim twist of irony, they only have each other and neither wants to let go. A snake eating itself, dark twin flames that would rather watch the world burn than let go.Or what grew from a simple prompt by https://archiveofourown.org/users/nananarc/profile

Summary
The border between dreams and reality is as thin as the one between life and death. In this liminal space a Half Elf, who is neither-nor, can find a red thread that will lead her to absolution.
Astarion is well accustomed to life between veils, where you can be anything and yet nothing, but meeting a kindred soul is a challenge he didn't expect, nor asked for. -

Summary
«Who understands better than Astarion the reasons one would wake up before dawn just to get ready? Even though they have to camp on the outskirts of the city like a traveling circus, they don’t have to look like vagabonds.
Elves, at the end of the day, have standards.»

new life by phoenixhowl for ZianaV

Summary
After a strange storm tears Idunn from her world, she is cast into a land of twin moons, gilded spires, and magic that thrums like a second heartbeat. In the heart of the Elvhenan Empire, where every word is a weapon and every glance a promise, she must relearn to wield her power. The Emperor's court is a gilded cage of whispers and want, where the line between ally and enemy is drawn in the thinnest of inks. And beyond the palace walls, the land itself bears the scars of a battle not yet finished, a darkness that hungers for her return.
But this strange new realm is not the only thing that compels her. In the quiet moments, in the brush of a hand or the heat of a gaze, something else stirs - something wild, something forbidden, and something dangerous.

Dictionary of El'vhen/Elvish (Dragon Age) by Kaija Rayne (KaijaRayne)

Summary
I broke down El'vhen into component parts and replaced the elided apostrophes. This is still fan fic, because despite having a linguistics minor, I could be very wrong. But if I'm not too far off, it should give us the tools to make new words.
It's mostly all translated from canon sources, Katiebour's Cypher, and the wiki.
This dictionary, as much as I adore it & will continue working on it, is an absolute time sink. I could put more time into it if I had supporters for my knowledge & the time I use for it. My patreon is here: https://www.patreon.com/kaijarayne even $1 a month is more than I had before.
I am violently against AI. Do NOT put ANY of my work into ANY AI system, including Deep-L. I'm happy to provide phrases and translations if you ask.

kaija.rayneI can't do anything about scrapers. But willfully putting my years of work on this project into any variety of AI is absolutely offensive.
AI is *awful*. Putting someone else’s work into one is not only copyright violation, it means you should take a good, hard look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself what are you doing?

Summary
This is a collection of essays because many of my friends have found this work more useful and complete in its original "special interest infodump" stage than Project Elvhen, so I thought it might be helpful to non-linguist fans who might also be left scratching their heads about some of FenXShiral's work. In the manner of many academics, I have both borrowed from and expanded upon the original. As I work on this, some of the individual words in the translations may change because I'm also learning and solidifying more as I write the guide. I'm going to be tweaking it until I'm satisfied, but I want to share what I do have!
I have been fiddling with this labor of love for years. It's my ultimate goal to make this a speakable language, pushed beyond the cipher, with words that are useful to your average speaker trying to learn it. I apply a radically kind perspective on the Dalish throughout the work, not tainted by the Chantry's perspective of this ancient and beautiful culture.
Ready to learn to really speak Elvhen this time? Let's do this.
Update Nov 2, 2025: Now will be a part of a series! Stay tuned...
Update Jun 23, 2026: Soon to be entirely reworked...Series
