<div class="floatleft">(http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2013/165/7/1/qunari_by_victoriadaedra-d690fc0.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Arisehan<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Skyhold bridge => Gates of Skyhold<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Kain Valerian<br/><hr/><br/>A lone figure with thick fur lined cape walks upon grand arch bridge which leads to gates of Skyhold, the guards in the gate look curiously on the figure. They had seen figure approach in steady stride from the horizon for long while now....it has traveled all this way unmounted? As figure approaches they start to make out the figure is very tall, no doubt a qunari. They see gleam of steel underneath the cloak and also from figure's back, handle of a greatsword which is carved resemblance a grinning dragon skull. The figure looks up onto Skyhold, gleaming steel is shown even under the hood....a steel mask covering top half of his face.<br/><br/><em>Very defensive position, single bridge while canyon and mountains surround it. Almost impossible deploy siege weapons onto mountains because logistics. Has stand well over the years so it's regularly repaired. Single well guarded gate and lots archery towers and tall walls. Good fortress.</em><br/><br/>Thus so lone qunari warrior, mercenary, summarizes the fortress. The wind is refreshing and view is calming, but he would dismiss both for sake of comfort what such solid fortress would provide while living there. This reminds the qunari how he wound up here; weeks ago Inquisitor, fresh and new, had gone to Ferelden to handle some bhaalspawn sightings and folks already rumoring about new Blight. But what was found that there has been a earthquake which had reached all way to Deep Roads and resulted a open passage into it. Even today Deep Roads were infested with bhaalspawn even without Blight going on, so no new Blight but there was open passage to dangerous parts of Deep Roads which needed plucked close.<br/><br/>Inquisitor had too few men handle that scale of a job so he had hired mercenaries help block the passages which led to main chamber where was support pillars which when exploded off with Lyrium charges would make chamber and thus passage sealed off from further intrusion by bhaalspawn. There was one Grey Warden present in operation, leading the mercenaries in defense while Inquisitor handled deploying the charges, a aged old geezer who was hard as steel nails. Arisehan had liked him, man bound on duty till death.<br/><br/>And to death he went with duty, as everything went swell for while despite bhaalspawn pressed constantly on mercenaries but there was no losses until a armored ogre (http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20141016174047/dragonage/images/2/25/Risen_ogre_HoDA.png) showed up to butcher mercenaries left and right, the Grey Warden without hesitation jumped and plunged sword on ogre's neck...and ogre jumped off the bridge which they were holding and grey warden's final orders were as he fell along with the ogre;<strong>"Hold the bridge until horn blows!"</strong><br/><br/>Yet loss of grey warden had demoralizing effect on mercenaries, as swarm of bhaalspawn surged from the depths ferocious as ever and mercs started running and abandon their posts and run where Inquisitor was. Inquisitor Kain Valerian was forced to leave his leading post and leave it for second in command as he rushed into bridge, thinking he has to guard the bridge alone and stall bhaalspawns....but he was not alone. As Arisehan was blood soaked, both from his own wounds and bhaalspawns, yet he held the ground alone against the swarm. He had to retreat to the narrowest passage in the tunnel so not that many bhaalspawn could get past him, without being cut off by his sword which compared to his armor was well made....and despite endless swinging it had no notch nor scratches on it's blade. Together with Inquisitor Arisehan held the bridge until horns were blown for retreat. Then they ran fast as they could and horde of bhaalspawn behind them, they reached surface and then lyrium charges were activated and they did the job done.<br/><br/>It was good job for Arisehan as he was only mercenary getting paid the entire sum of money from the job, as fleeing mercs were not paid from job they did not complete till the end. But what surprised that Inquisitor then gave him invitation to join Inquisition, he told him he considers it. And Arisehan had deep pondering on that discussion while enjoying his spoils from the battle. More as time passes the offer became inviting....as Arisehan did not consider offer with gold in mind, but more about following<em>Qun</em>, code of qunaris which he had no obligation to follow at all as a outcaste (but yet he did so, much as he was able to). He had never belonged to anywhere and Qun had very central ideal around belonging to somewhere in the society and he had no place at all expect lowest rank possible. A rank which he was born into and not by his choice.<br/><br/>So he took long journey, by walk as he refuses mount horses and cart ride only when necessary. Sea voyage was nauseating experience and one which he wishes not to repeat any time soon. But the sea voyage brought him quickly closer to Skyhold so he had endured it but rest journey he walked on his two legs. So after weeks of journey he reaches Skyhold and guard shouts from small hatch in the gate;<strong>"Who approaches! No step further until you identify yourself!"</strong>There were crossbow men and archers ready on stand by to shoot him down if he takes further step. Arisehan raises his head up and pulls slowly hood back, reveal his onyx colored flesh, curved black horns and pair of pitch black eyes peek through steel half-mask as he speaks with deep but calm voice; "I have come meet with Inquisitor Kain Valerian, tell him a<em>Tal-Vashoth</em>Arisehan has come answer the offer he gave."<br/><br/>The guard in gates send one the guards move into the Skyhold Fortress....to ask a okay from Inquisitor to led in a lone qunari from the gates.
