What Happens After A Few Days???????
Nothing Overly Exciting, Besides The Obvious
Word Had Reached The World Of Thedas Of The Newborn Twins Of Inquisitor Trevelyen and Josephine Montilyet and Every Person Who Held Andraste In Their Heart Rejoiced That The Inquisitor Had Brought A Child Into The World, But Especially Two. A Son Who Could Follow The Martial Way Of The Maker and A Daughter Who Could Follow The Faithful Path Of Andraste Was A Good Combination For The Maker's Chosen. Josephine Already Began Planning Their Education At The University Of Val Royeaux, Despite Being Extremely Premature and Early.
Anasterian Was In Val Royeaux To Raise The Inquisition Honor Guard For A Trip To Antiva, Divine Victoria Was Planning To Stop There, Before Joining Anasterian In The Free Marches For Talks Of Reconciliation Between The Tevinter and Orlaisen Chantries. It Had Been Decided That The Talks Would Be Taking Place In Starkhaven Where Neither Side Had An Advantage Over The Over, Many Important Nobles On Both Sides Would Be In Attendance, and Every One Of Them Would Need To Be Registered and Examined By The Templars Under Barris To Ensure The Safety Of All Involved and That No Assassins Were Hidden Within The Midst Of Each Group To Harm The Members Of The Other.
The City Was Neutral Ground, It Was Fortified By A Sizeable Host Of Inquisition Soldiers and Ferelden Troops Sent There To Protect The City In The Face Of A Potential Free-For-All Between Tevinter and Orlais Should The Talks Go Right South. Anasterian Would Be In Charge Of Security and Keeping Things Civil Between All Parties, Which Included Keeping The More **** Or Hotheaded Participants Clear Of Each Other.
Anasterian Stood At The Helm Of His Ship, The Inquisition Had It's Own Naval Fleet, Stationed For The Most Part In Ferelden, Specifically Caer Bronarch. Anasterian's Ship Was A Massive Dreadnought Of A Qunari Design, But Only In General Shape and Defenses. The Ship Was Called The Solas Regret, and Was Making Use Of The Gaatlok Formulae Anasterian Had Recovered During The Exalted Council, In Their Cannons and Defenses, Which Also Included Several Mages. Inquisition Ships Had A Standard Four Mage and Four Templar Group To Each One Kept Them Balanced and Defended. Anasterian's Dreadnought Was So Massive However, That It Could Only Be Crewed By Host Of Men Totalling At Around Forty, While It's Mage and Templar Compliment Were Around Ten Each.
The Solas Regret Had Since Anchored Itself In Ostwick, Where A Standing Ovation Awaited Him, Josephine, Aurelian, and Lucia. The Trevelyen's It Seems Had Set Things Up Well In Advance. Though Anasterian's Father, Antares Trevelyen Had Joined His Son At The Wedding Between Anasterian and Josephine, Josie Had Yet To Meet Anasterian's Seven Other Siblings, Not Including Evelyn-Cyn. These Siblings It Seemed, Had Joined Their Father In Welcoming Their Brother and His Wife and Children, As Did Many Many Others. At The Head Beside His Father, Stood Anasterian's Eldest Brother, Dracko, Followed By His Sisters Anna and Tallia, His Brothers Anter and Bren, and Of Course The Twins, Lucilla and Druella. Evelyn-Cyn Was Still Ferelden Bound It Seemed.
Anasterian Disembarked From His Ship After His Guard Made Sure Everything Was Safe. Antares Trevelyen Stepped Forward, Embracing Anasterian. Dracko Soon Followed His Father and Embraced Anasterian. One By One, The Elder Siblings Followed Suit and Embraced Anasterian, Until At Last, Anasterian Could Greet His Mother, Lady Hanira Valmont, Distant Cousin To Celene. Hanira Embraced Her Son Longer and More Deeply Than His Father Or Elder Siblings, For He Had Always Been Her Favorite. Hanira Had Groomed Him For The Stewardship Of The Trevelyen Residence, Gotten Him A Job In The Teyrn's Office As A Castellan Before The Conclave. "Father, Mother, My Wife Josephine and Newborn Son and Daughter, Aurelian and Lucia." Says Anasterian As Josephine Hands Both Children To Their Grandparents. Eve-Cyn Was Yet To Conceive A Child With Cullen, But That Would Happen Eventually, Even Now, Anasterian Was The First To Provide His Parents With Any Grandchildren, Something Both Were Quick To Remind The Once Womanising Dracko.
"Well, Well, Little Anasterian is All Grown Up? Grown Up and The Inquisitor? I've Missed You Sweet Man." Says The Teyrn's Daughter, His Former Lover. "First Of All, I'm Happily Married, Second Of All, I Missed You As Well, At Least Until I Met Josephine." Replies Anasterian. "That's Enough! Inquisitor Trevelyen, You're No Longer That Young Pup Are You? Welcome Home." Says Teyrn Holder Hartwraithe. "Thank You Teyrn Hartwraithe, I Truly Miss The Days When Life Was So Much Simpler." Says Anasterian. "We've Prepared A Grand Festival, For Your Deeds and Adventures Inquisitor, We Hope You'll Stay For The Inaugural Event?" Asks The Teyrn. "I Can't Stay Long Alas, Because I Have Been Asked To Ride Soon and Quickly To Starkhaven, Where We Must Ensure The Reconciliation Between The Orlaisen and Tevinter Chantries Remains Peaceful. The Divine Herself Commanded Me So." Says Anasterian. "Then Let Us At Least Show You The Best Sites and Activities." Says His Father.
Anasterian Was Siting Atop His Mount A Draco-Horse, Of Exceptional Breed. The Mother Horse Was Of Ferelden Forder, Imperial Warmblood, Orlaisen Courser, Taslin Strider, Amaranthine Charger, Asaarash Stock. The Father Dracolisk Mount Was Breed To Inherit The Traits Of The Abyssal Hang-Tooth, Basking Longma, Desert Lightning, and Hunter Shade Dracolisk Variants. The Cross-Species Were The Brainchild Of Anasterian, He Had An Expert Horse Master, and Crossbred Various Mounts. But He Also Crossbred Various Species. Harts and Horses, Nuggalopes and Harts, Dracolisks and Horses, Dracolisks and Harts, and Everything In Between. Because These Cross-Species and Crossbreeding Was Unheard Of and Hard To Perfect, The Produced Mounts Were Limited To Use For But A Few Elite Operatives. He Had Toured The City Of His Birth Briefly, Before Now Starting His Needed Traveling To Starkhaven. Anasterian Rode Ahead Of A Carriage Carrying Josephine, Varric, Vivienne, and Thom Rainer. Beside and Behind Him Rode Cassandra, Barris, Fiona, and Bull and The Chargers. Of Course Bull Was So Huge The Only Thing Capable In The Slightest Of Carrying Him Was A Nuggalope, and One Nuggalope Was Just Wierd, So Cassandra Rode One Two. Fiona Rode Atop A Frostback Elk Hart, While Barris Rode Atop A Red Hart Hart. Their Procession Would Rendezvous With The Ferelden and Marcher Forces To Ensure War Didn't Break Out, and The New Spies Of The Inquisition Led By Charter, But Trained By Bull, Would Search For Infiltrators.
The Inquisition's Restructuring Was A Still Ongoing Work In Progress, Evelyn-Cyn and The Other Inquisitor's Hands Secured Allies Far and Wide, Cadash and Karras Adarr Secured Dwarves and Mercs, Mahannon Secured The Dalish, Who Were All Too Happy In Opposing The True Fen'Harel, Ellana Still Searched Far and Wife For Solas, Her Beloved. Evelyn-Cyn Searched For Mages and Templar Allies. Anasterian Knew A Reckoning Would Come For Him and Solas Very Very Soon, and One Way Or Another Solas Plan's Would Be Stopped and His Friend Would Be Redeemed. The Inquisition and Indeed All Of Thedas Had To Be Ready, But Someone Needed To Take Anasterian's Place, Even With This New Arm, He Could Never Truly Be The Inquisitor Ever Again, The Anchor Was A Part Of That Identity.
No, Someone New Had To Take The Reigns, Anasterian, Edric, Evelyn-Cyn, All The Other Heralds Needed To Train and Find New Successors. Beings With The Fearlessness To Take Back What Was Lost, The Skills To Protect Others, and The Tenacity To Endure Any and All Punishment. Anasterian Didn't Know How Long He Had, But One Day, He Would Seek Solas Out, and If He Achieved His Plan, He Would Compel His Old Friend To Stall His Plans For Fifteen Years. Time Was Of The Essence, One Way Or Another..............................

God's Experiment
Or his Stooge
I figured this would be simpler than if I did it in Khan's Gods Apprentice, so I decided to do something similar
