Game: Dragon Age: Origins
Pairing: Cauthrien/Zevran
Chapter Rating: NC-17

Warnings: References to past alcohol abuse.
Summary: There are darkspawn in the way, the River Dane is overflowing, and Zevran has decided against wearing a shirt. Luckily, Cauthrien is back in top form. (ff.net & Ao3)
Notes: Post-game. These chapters keep getting longer! Hopefully, this will be the longest one. Otherwise I'll start having trouble posting it all at once.

The title translates to, literally, cut the pear in two - an idiom for compromise, or meeting halfway. All the "Orlesian" in the fic is being translated by Adrienne and IrishLassie. All the "Antivan" is courtesy of smaragdina.

Thank you so much to smaragdina for being my beta! ♥

LORE TALK! May the Chant reach the Maker's ears...

[amhran_comhrac]

This is the first in what will hopefully be an ongoing series of group discussion posts focused on major aspects of the Dragon Age lore.

So... let's talk.
Let's talk about the Chantry

No, not that specific Chantry, mind you. I mean the institution. The belief system. The enormous, glaring, inconsistencies.

A few things are certain. We know a woman named Andraste, born in Denerim, was married to a man named Maferath. We know she was an escaped slave, and led an uprising against the Imperium. A successful uprising, perhaps because she was the "spiritual bride" of the Maker... or perhaps because the Tevinter Imperium was still in shambles from the first blight.

Her husband betrayed her and she was burnt alive.

But beyond that.... It seems like mythology shuffle.

( Seriously, I went to Catholic school and even I'm confused now... )
