Okay but AU where the Herald of Andraste is a mabari who saw the orb go rolling and fetched it like a good boy and now shoots fade beam magic shit out of his mouth
This would be the one Inquisitor I truly believe was chosen by Andraste. They get to the fade and the spirit is just like “who’s the smartest boy? Who’s Andraste’s favorite?”
The companions are like “wait the dog is really the Herald? We thought the Fereldans were just fucking with us.’
Spirit, rubbing the Herald’s belly: You are the reason the Maker forsook your kind.
