    Summary

    When Viago had promised Lucanis to ‘keep him out of trouble’, Illario had been expecting the typical Crow fare, had been prepared for imprisonment and torture - but somehow, the reality of life under the Fifth Talon’s roof was a thing much more difficult to bear.
    Somehow, it changed her life entirely.

    Summary
    Teia was naked, and Viago was not.

    He sat rigidly upright on the edge of the chair in her sun-drenched bedroom in Rialto, his back to the elaborate vanity crowded with cosmetics. He had considered poisoning something at random to teach her a lesson about allowing anyone near her personal effects, but chose instead to keep his hands to himself.

    Completely to himself.

    Summary

    Caterina has no patience for politics, feelings, or the mess that happens when the two collide. So when she’s ordered to assassinate someone she barely knows, she expects a clean job and a quick exit.

    Forced to work with the man she was sent to kill, Caterina clings to her unattached approach, even as Javier’s calm steadiness and relentless flirtation act as a soft edge to her sharper instincts—pulling her, inch by unwilling inch, toward a trust she never meant to give.

    Summary

    “Hey, Formless One,” Emmrich said, his tone as casual as he could make it. “Do you want to come to the Fall Out Wisp concert in the Crescent Fane with me tonight?”

    The silence hung in the still air of the chamber. Emmrich could see Johanna’s face twist into a mocking expression, ready to laugh at his attempt.

    Then, a faint vibration trembled the ground beneath their feet.

    “Oh. My. Fucking. Maker,” said the Formless One.

    Summary

    “Are you..." The end of Bellara's question is lost to the air. “You are not okay,” she concludes on her own.

    Rook groans and rests her head in Bellara's lap. It's being selfish, greedy — Bellara isn't built to be a lap pillow, stillness to her a foreign quality, but it's the only comfort Rook can imagine for herself, and she's desperate to have it for the few minutes that she can.

    Then, her stomach spasms again, not to the point of throwing up, but to remind her that the clock is ticking. Every second spent not thinking about how to address the issue is a second wasted, and she's wasted enough.

    “I can't keep it.” Her mouth is dry. She'd kill for a glass of water, and for a chance to never have to get up from this bed. “Well, I can birth it, but I can't raise it.”

    Deep at night at Wesshaupt, Rook must contend with the fact she's pregnant with Lucanis's child. That doesn't go well - physically, or emotionally.

    Summary

    Ashur has snake-like characteristics as a result of his magical bloodline.

    “What time is it?” Ashur muttered.

    “Early, go back to sleep.”

    He stretched again and nodded. Sunlight turned him into a lizard on a warm rock. That nod was friendly and agreeable. Agreeable, Ashur. That was a rare thing. Tarquin smiled and traced the tendril of scales on his arm.

    Summary

    The Feast of Redemption is a chance for mages of all caliber to show off both officially and impulsively. Tarquin hates the week of celebrations, mostly because a fireball shot into the air really doesn't sound all that different from a gaatlok cannon and old habits die hard.
    ---
    Tarquin knew that tone, Ashur used it when he wanted to get his way. It worked on Dorian, it worked on Mae, it probably even worked on Knight Commander Lenos. Tarquin grit his teeth, because he knew it also worked on him.

    Summary

    Minrathous has fallen. In the ruins of a collapsing cathedral, Tarquin holds the body of the man he loved—Divine, saint and stubborn fool—and prays for a miracle that will never come. There’s no magic left, no rescue, only memory and ash. But even as the end creeps closer, Tarquin chooses to stay. To love. To be grateful.

    No dialogue. Just grief, devotion, and the last breath shared between two men who were never meant to last—but did anyway.

    Summary

    This is a collection of essays because many of my friends have found elements of 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 a note, as I work on this, some of the individual words in the translations may change. That's not because I don't know what I'm doing, but I'm also learning and solidifying more as I write the guide, and I'm going to be tweaking it until I'm satisfied, but I want to share what I do have with you!

    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...

    Summary

    ossuary (ˈäSHəˌwerē) noun 1. a container or room in which the bones of dead people are placed. 2. the final resting place of skeletal remains.

    Thought dead by his family, Lucanis Dellamorte, the infamous Demon of Vyrantium, spends over three hundred days languishing in an impenetrable Tevene prison at the bottom of the sea. But he doesn't do it alone—and like it or not, his new demonic cellmate may be his only hope of escape. Sometimes the only way to fight your demons is to make a deal instead.

    Summary

    It starts, as it so often does, with a touch.

    Tarquin knows himself well enough that he can count on one hand the number of times anyone has touched him recently. It's frustratingly few, outside a pair of average and unremarkable fucks with casual acquaintances that he would very happily assign to the dusty halls of memory than anything he looked back on with fondness.

    But the Viper is touching him now.
