## Early Life

Beathag was abandoned as a child by her Tal-Vashoth parents, she was found by a wandering merchant on his way to Starkhaven, who took pity on her and gave the infant to the Chantry.  It was uncertain what race she was until she turned two when she was far larger than children her age.  The Revered Mother was unsure what to do with the child as she got older until she showed magical talent and off to the Circle Magi she went.

The Grand Enchanter was presented with a Vashoth child with magical talent and the decision was made to teach her, if she proved to be a danger like her brethren the Rite of Tranquility was always an option.  Given a human name, Beathag, meaning life, she took  her to studies like a sponge.  She surprised everyone with her intelligent and inquisitive mind.  At five years old she was reading books at a much higher rate than others her age.

Beathag had to work harder than the other students because of her stature.  She endured the insults and would-be bullies because she knew that her life outside the Circle would be far harder than being called Ox-man or some other name, she read about what Qunari did to their mages and if living under the constant scrutiny of the Templars meant she didn’t have her mouth sewn shut, drugged into a stupor and treated like an animal she’d deal with the Templars and their rules.

Beathag also grew up a devout Andrastian.  For one she was raised in the Chantry until her magic manifested and after that she remained devout, seeking solace in the maker while in the Circle Tower.   Her instructors allowed her and the others to go to Chantry services with the Templar, in which she did religiously.

She completed her Harrowing successfully and was one of the first or maybe the first Vashoth Circle Mage.  She didn’t mind remaining in the Circle Tower, to her she was safe from others and couldn’t be a danger to others.  She grew up reading about the Heroism of the Grey Wardens.

***The Fifth Blight (9:30-9:31)***

During the Fifth Blight Beathag was still in the Starkhaven Circle, where she remained until the Mage Templar War.   When the Starkhaven Circle was burnt down in 9:31, she was sent to the Ostwick Circle of Magi where she remained until the Mage Templar war broke out.  She resented the fact that the ruling family of Starkhaven did not rebuild the Circle or care for its Circle mages.  Many of them were sent to Kirkwall, including her mentor, resulting in their deaths.  Beathag was one of the lucky ones that was sent to Ostwick where she was spared the horrors of Kirkwall.

***The Mage Templar War (9:37-9:41)***

When the Mage-Templar war broke out and the mages within the Ostwick circle turned upon each other Beathag was forced to fight or flee.  Never a strong fighter she fled the circle and found herself fleeing.  She fled to Androhal’s Reach where many mages, now apostates, had gathered during the Mage-Templar war.  Here she found sanctuary until the Seekers and Templars led by Lord Seeker Lambert attacked.  She witnessed the death of Evageline and the sacrifice of Wynn.

She took a more active role during the war.  While still not a front-line fighter or fighter in general, she took on the role of healer.  She took care of those wounded that came to Adorohal’s Reach for sanctuary and those injured when the Templars and Seekers attacked. She still believes as a whole the Templars are good people.

***War Against the Elder One (9:41-42)***

She served in Skyhold serving as a translator of ancient texts and languages.  Beathag had always taken to the written word and spent her life in the Circle learning and studying ancient history and lore.  She was especially helpful in the Arbor Wilds while studying the ancient elven ruins, the ancient dwarven thaigs and solving the mystery around the Frostback Basin. She also ended up being an asset due to her spirit healing when the injured were brought to her.

***Congregation of the Exalted Council (9:44)***

At the moment Beathag has chosen to remain with the Inquisition to lend her services in keeping the peace across Thedas.

## **Relationships**

1. **Wynne**: She met Wynne when she took refuge in Adorohal’s Reach when her circle fell.  She found that Wynne was a courageous woman who stood proud in her beliefs and respected her sacrifice.  She wished that she could have had more time to learn from her.
2. **Cassandra Pentaghast**:  Worked under her during her time in the inquisition along other mages when researching creatures, languages and historical texts.  She felt a little ( a lot) intimidated by the Seeker.
3. **Revered Mother (Starkhaven, Doireann)**:  This was the woman that took her in and raised her until she was sent to the Circle for training.  Beathag still considers her a parent and visits her when she is in the city. Part of a pet project to see if Qunari are born savage or if they can be taught to be civilized.
4. **Senior Enchanter (Starkhaven Circle, Iseabail Eógan)**:  This was her tutor when she came to the Starkhaven Circle.  She took to  her lessons easily and adapted well to Circle life.  She also considered her a mother. Was sent to Kirkwall and died there.
5. **Sebastian Vael**:  Beathag has an intense resentment towards the Prince of Starkhaven for refusing to rebuild the Circle Tower, that was his responsibility.  This resulted in many of her friends and family being sent to Kirkwall and ultimately their deaths. This is as close to hatred as she could get, resulting in the death of one of the women that raised her, although she wouldn’t kill him she can’t forgive him.

3. **Templars**: She views Templar as Guardians of the people and they protect her from less pleasant elements that Mages Face.  She treats them with respect and warmth even if they are indifferent to her.  She will not hesitate to speak out against injustice but doesn’t like to fight.
4. **Chantry**: Beathag respects the principles on which the Chantry was founded, from her research. She has been disheartened by how she has been kept out of the chantry due to her race and being a mage. How does that make her less qualified to be a sister? While she considers herself Andrastian she follows that faith independently from the Chantry.
