Summary
Emmrich Volkarin spirals into despair when he faces his biggest regret: choosing to save Manfred instead of pursuing Lichdom. When all else fails, he seeks the counsel of his old friend, Johanna Hezenkoss.
-
Emmrich remained in the bath for an unspecified period, basking in the silence, detaching from reality, tangling himself in possible timelines where he hadn’t forsaken Lichdom. In contrast allowing Manfred to rest—as it should’ve been, what was the natural order of things—remorseless at how often he’s brooded over his biggest mistake. He had been so close to his aspirations, moments away from grasping it, cradling it in his palms, from savouring the sweet taste of athanasia. All the years of work wasted by a mere lapse in judgement. How could he have been so pliant, bringing in a stranger to help him make such a momentous decision?

Summary
For decades Emmrich Volkarin had been the gold standard of what an alpha should be, composed in the face of instinct, unshakable under pressure. Across all four major universities in Thedas, he was one of only three alphas permitted to hold full tenure. Trusted to lecture in rooms thick with scent, to remain unmoved through every stage of designation flux. He had built a reputation on control.
He had even written the definitive text on the subject. Instinct and Intellect: Navigating Designation with Dignity. It was still used in half of the academic circles from Starkhaven to the Free Marches.So why, at his age, with all his accolades and experience, was this becoming so Maker-forsaken difficult?

Summary
Forensic pathologist, Emmrich Volkarin, meets the woman who has been hired to landscape the cemetery that neighbours his home. As their paths intersect and they grow swiftly closer, Emmrich finds himself battling his feelings. Battling his feelings, and growing dangerously close to failing, something Rook only seems to encourage.
And it wasn’t just her forthright, sometimes clumsy, always charming physical overtures, which were already staggering: to be desired by someone young and splendid. It was her trust. The way she looked at him like he had all the answers. The way she opened her heart to him, even as he held his back by a leash. It couldn’t be as it appeared: it simply wasn’t possible. No matter how pure her intentions, women like her did not settle for men like him.

Summary
An in-game story showcasing the untold moments beyond the cutscenes, shuffling and tweaked the narrative juuust a little bit to help fill some of the gaps and plotholes in the original story.
Rook Ingellvar's journey began as a rogue child raised by the "village" of the Grand Necropolis, drifting from house to house and eventually from town to town. Her path led her to the Lighthouse, where she now stands as the new leader of the Veilguard. But the arrival of the renowned Professor Volkarin, Senior Mortalitasi, along with Varric’s unexpected presence, leaves Rook wondering if her eagerness to lead just wrote her a check her ass can't cash.
