Vasa, the blood elf holy paladin, kneels in front of memorial candles honoring her fellow paladins who fell in battle. Her armor is a mixture of gold, white, & black with fur lining. She carries the Silver Hand, the legendary mace of Tyr, as her golden redeemed eyes stare forward.

Vasa as a Blood Elf Holy Paladin in the Warcraft universe.

And just like that I’m back in the building again.✨

My love of paladins started with WoW over 16 years ago & my blood elf holy paladin is in fact one of the earliest renditions of what would become Vasa.

Who knew such a goofy Grey Warden could charm her so much?

Vasa in Dragon Age Origins dressed in signature golden armor.

Meet Warden Vasa ⚔️✨

My kingdom for a good CC scar mod. Alas, I shall pretend this is a younger version of her, which is fitting seeing how this is first in the series.

A reluctant but passionate mage traumatized by what he carries inside him? Now where have we heard this story before? 😏🤍✨

Anders with a few mods (hair down, variation of robes) in DA2

Anders & Isabella look at Vasa as she talks to Cullen in DA2

Vasa calls out to Anders to break the blood magic that is about to force her to slit her own throat.

Anders disrupts the blood magic controlling Vasa.

And it seems Vasa has a type - Anders has definitely struck a spark with her.

I’m enjoying DA2 so far! Curious to hear who everyone thinks she will romance. 🤍

Sometimes the Watcher needs to do more than observe.

Oh, where to begin - putting the obvious one with Mystra aside, Vasa is connected unwillingly with the god of lies & trickery, Cyric.

I've attached excerpts from her lore pages of how she was forced to enact his schemes.

Gale Dekarious kisses Vasa’s hand as he proposes to her in their room at the Elfsong Tavern at the end of the game. His hair is graying and half pulled back into a bun and wears a new earring of gold and pearl.

Cullen hugs Vasa as the Inquisitor tightly before the final battle, after praying she returns to him. He wears his fur shawl and armor as he embraces her in her detailed golden armor.

Utter devotion is such a good look on a man. 🤍

I’ve finally finished Inquisition. While I have the 3 DLCs still to do, I can definitely see myself playing the first 2 games & this one again in the future. This last scene with Vasa & Cullen is just 🫶🏻.

[ #vasa | #cullen | #luminary | #vasaverse | #dai ]

The fearful whisper of “I can’t” at the end…Cullen why would you do that to me? 😭

[ #vasa | #cullen | #luminary | #dai | #vasaverse ]

Maker Vasa, how is the man supposed to work with you looking at him like that?

[ #vasa | #vasaverse | #cullen | #luminary | #dai ]

Cullen, my sweet lion, all of Skyhold knows how much you love her after that night since you refuse to fix the hole in your chamber roof!

There is a rule one must observe if romancing Vasa: thou shalt always climb over her for the first time. It is known. ✨

[ #vasa | #vasaverse | #cullen | #luminary | #dai ]

Oh hearing this song just takes me back – Emily covered this gem exquisitely.

WoW will always be special to me, it’s been a part of my life for over 16 years.

Fun fact: part of Vasa’s D&D design & class inspiration started with my blood-elf Holy Paladin. ✨

[ #vasa | #vasaverse | #WoW | #hpal ]

I’ve 𝒇𝒊𝒏𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 updated my Carrd with Vasa’s lore. It’s…a lot, I know, but I tried to condense it as much as possible (full length versions are linked too).

This is the first page; I’d love for anyone to go take a glance & learn more about her story. 🤍

[ #vasa | #vasaverse ]

If you see this, quote to show me your Tav(s)/durge(s) in #HeroForge!

An old Vasa creation from about 10 years ago for D&D that needs a bit of updating but I still love her. ✨

They are the worst kept secret in Skyhold – even the tavern keep has an opinion.

Vasa’s eyes are usually what others question upon meeting her for the first time.

While born with the same golden coloring of her elven father, her distinctive right eye’s purple hue & scarring are a twisted keepsake from her past with the trickster god, Cyric.

[ #vasa | #vasaverse | #tavqotd ]

I’ve decided that the ship name for Inquisitor Vasa/Cullen will be called Luminary.

It references her light and leadership as the Herald while the word is also synonymous with lions, which Cullen is often associated with. ✨

I’m smitten with Inquisitor Vasa’s relationship with Cullen.

Now I need to think of a name for them.

[ #vasa | #cullen | #cullvelyan | #dai | #vasaverse ]

Why must they both be so awkwardly shy about their feelings for each other?
