TOLKIENVERSE ↳ High Queen of the Noldor — Antariel
She was born as Cîneth to Lord Taethon and Lady Almanis of the Sindar, and raised in the great Kingdom of Doriath. She was a quiet yet happy child but she later grew sorrowful and fearful in nature, plagued by dark foresight and dreams.
After the Second Kinslaying in Doriath, she fled to the Mouth of Sirion with the survivors of the massacre, having lost her father and brother to the Noldor. However, during the War of the Wrath, many Elves banded together, regardless of old differences and she encountered the High King of the Noldor, Erenion Gil-Galad. Overcoming animosity, she grew to love the Noldorin King and he took her to wife in the Year 95 of the Second Age — and bestowed the Quenya name, Antariel, on her.
Antariel remained Gil-Galad’s wife and queen for the entirety of the second Age, until his death, three thousand years later, at the hands of Sauron. She was known for her political intellect and compassionate nature, yet she often seen as a mournful figure but she only confided her dark dreams to her husband. After Gil-Galad’s death, she remained a mentor to Elrond in the beginning of the Third Age but grief overcame her and she faded away in the Year 398 T.A.

Nice try Bioware, but I know the state of Southern Thedas better than you do.
First off, it matters if the Hero of Ferelden is alive or not. When the First Warden recalled all wardens, our hero knew that was a bad call and refused, finally splitting off from Weisshaupt after years of mismanagement and taking scores of wardens with them. Their presence and leadership makes all the difference, rallying southern Thedas once more against the blight. If you have only an Orlesian Warden Commander in Amaranthine they’re less inspiring, but as long as you’ve done Awakening they are a boon nonetheless. There is someone to lead the fight against the darkspawn while other focus on the Venatori.
If you 100% completed Awakenings and also Soldier’s Peak, the Ferelden wardens have never been so prepared. They’re organized, they’re outfitted and they’ve been ready for this for years. Also, if you allied with the Architect then you have scores of strange research to give you an edge.
If Merrill completed her Eluvian then she moves south once again and joins the effort. She’s managed to cleanse the blight before and she’s ready to try it again. And her knowledge of the crossroads gives the south an edge on their movement and supply lines. If Hawke’s sibling is a Warden they accompanied her.
If the Inquisitor let Briala have power in any way, the Dales become the leaders in the war against the Venatori, forming a formidable alliance with Ferelden, Orzammar and the Marches, the likes of which have never been seen. And if you completed Jaws of Hakkon then their alliances with the Avvar and Chasind are stronger than ever.
Of course, if the Inquisitor kept the Wardens around after Here Lies the Abyss then their numbers are bolstered. It may cost Wiesshaupt later, but that’s Rooks problem. And if you completed the Descent, then the Inquisitor and Warden had a much better idea of what was coming and spent ten years getting ready.
They will not be broken.
They will weather this storm.

Hey! I was wondering if there was any project similar in scope to Project Elvhen? I know the person who created Project Elvhen is very problematic so I wanted to know if there were any alternatives
I made one

Just a reminder that the Couslands once fought werewolves in the past. Haelia Cousland became a Teyrna after rallying an army against werewolves. You can't tell me the Couslands didn't have trophies from Haelia's time safely tucked away somewhere and brought them out at parties. BONUS: Someone joked about how ironic it is that Bryce went and married someone called the Seawolf. Bryce joked Eleanor infected him with love. She kicked him off her ship and banned him for three days.
