Varric Tethras

And I just think Dolly would, would, she's done the exact same thing with her life and she's basically turned herself into something bigger than legend.

And I think Varric would absolutely adore that.

But I do also hear Liliana

as well.

Mm-hmm.

Because he's crazy like that.

Yeah, that's such a Varric thing to do.

This kind of leads me into my next question, which is, what country would Dali be from in Thedas, and why?

She's not a paragon, though, so we're not talking about her in this episode.

Right, but she is one of the big tensions in her relationship with Varric is that she's in consideration for paragon.

Well, I think the biggest tension in their relationship is that she's engaged to another man.

Well, married to another man.

Legend also tells us that Oryk changed the name of his house from Garen to Tethras as a tribute.

However, Varric disputes this and claims that the heirs of House Garen took the name when one of them became Paragon, and that's how House Tethras was founded.

Interesting.

Also, it's just really funny to me that Garen, Gwerin, you know, like...

That was my only thought.

Fair.

Other than Varric, come on.

Why were you busy being Viscount of Kirkwall when you could...

All bad things, all bad things.

So before we head off to the island, we have a quick chat with our boyfriend or our girlfriend, as well as a little chat with Varric.

Varric does his same old thing where he's like, you've got this, Rook.

You're a leader.

Being a leader is tough.

And Rook's like, cool.

Thanks, Varric.

I appreciate that.

And I think Vivian and Sarah are very much added on.

I think Cole and Varric were the rogues that were intended for D8.

D, AI, and I think that Solas and Dorian were the mages that were intended.

Is there a way to see the most common used companions? Because that would affect people's perspectives on certain companions as well.

I think we'll go to the next one and this will be our last one before the mid break.

I was really mean with this one.

This one says, I don't want a companion slot wasted on Varric as in Inquisition.

It felt cruel when I took him into the wilderness far from his comfy desk.

Okay

... yeah, she's the vic- sh- after, after, after Varric left-

Yeah

... leading Kirkwall.
