Satinalia 2017 gifts

Tier 4 Armor (reward item): His standard Grey Warden armor has been overlaid with dragon scales, thanks to his participation in a dragon slaying.

Specialized Housing (reward item): A cave somewhere in the Vimmark Mountains, well away from any other settlements (Dalish etc). It's pretty out of the way and high up, so not usually disturbed by anyone else, but still reachable by most mounts. The dragon that Kain and a team slayed formerly lived here.

Dragongut Whiskey (reward item): A bottle of whisky labelled DRAGONGUT with a drawing of a dragon beneath it, and no other information. It looks like whisky, and it tastes like whisky, and it will cause whoever drinks it to feel like they need to belch—at which point they'll breathe fire. Mind wooden furniture.

A hideous clown outfit from a mission to stop a lyrium-infected bear at a circus.

A purse of gold—enough to buy a decent horse or its weight in mead and Dragonskin, fireproof horse tack, both awards from coming in second in the Joust at the Grand Tourney.

Prizes from Tourney Games: Dragon-skin journal, Personalized Mug, Bear hat, Spring End hopping stilt, Glowstones, Cape, Lizard (like a Gamordan Stormrider), T-tunic

PETS AND MOUNTS

Zephyr/Highwind: A Hunter Shade Dracolisk, formerly belonging to the deceased Kain Highwind. He's nicknamed her after her former owner. Stubborn, brave, and loyal.

Bastard: A parrot with a foul-mouth, who knows curse words in all languages. Takes great pleasure in disrupting chantry services. Formerly owned by a dwarf friend of Kain's, mistakenly latched on to the rifter at one point, but now has been reunited with his original Kain friend.

Potato: A light grey female griffon... she likes to be high up, is very coordinated, and not entirely aware that she isn't a Lap Griffon. He and Inessa have both bonded with her so far.

SPECIALIZATIONS

Reaver: That thing where you drink dragon's blood

Griffon Rider: Alongside Inessa, Kain has bonded with Potato.

Dragon Warrior: A custom specialization connecting him to the dragons and his ancestry.
