Veilguard Spoilers (Harding)
So, I’ve decided I’m always gonna take Lucanis on Harding’s personal quest, because she says this little line:
“We will thrive, in spite of you.”
Which reminds me of the Hebrew proverb:
“Living well is the best revenge.”
And to me? In my mind? As my Rook and Lucanis both embrace her as she’s having this revelation and in saying that? It feels like Spite was there, too. Giving her the little nudge she needed to power through the bulwark of her grief, as Lace Harding. Not just a Child of the Stone. To live her life as a wholly free Dwarf that no longer requires the presence of the Titans in order to be “enough.”
To become her own person and truly be.
Because it’s hinted/shown in the art book that the Dwarves already existed when the Titans were walking around, but solely served as the caretakers of their giant bodies. Sort of swarming out of them like ants to clean up the hive after a storm.
So, maybe the sundering of the Titans granted them freedom? Free will, even if it came without dreams or magic? Certainly something to think about.
A little datv doodle dump: it’s been a while, and I hope to get to more story doodles of these two and more characters, but for now they take up a good portion of my brain so enjoy!
