Kirkwall as a Hellmouth

Dude, that explains so much, actually. (That Kirkwall is on a Hellmouth.)

It’s a pretty good analogy, I think. Blood magic ritual layout as city planning and Corypheus lurking underground…yep, Hellmouth.

And now I’m picturing Hawke & Co. as high schoolers ::cackles:: Which…also maps fairly well in some places, at least as far as early seasons go.

Garrett/Marian as Buffy, Carver as Xander, Merrill as Willow, Isabela as a far-better-at-coping/more well-adjusted Faith…the other companions don’t map quite as well.
