Summary
Emmrich Volkarin spirals into despair when he faces his biggest regret: choosing to save Manfred instead of pursuing Lichdom. When all else fails, he seeks the counsel of his old friend, Johanna Hezenkoss.
-
Emmrich remained in the bath for an unspecified period, basking in the silence, detaching from reality, tangling himself in possible timelines where he hadn’t forsaken Lichdom. In contrast allowing Manfred to rest—as it should’ve been, what was the natural order of things—remorseless at how often he’s brooded over his biggest mistake. He had been so close to his aspirations, moments away from grasping it, cradling it in his palms, from savouring the sweet taste of athanasia. All the years of work wasted by a mere lapse in judgement. How could he have been so pliant, bringing in a stranger to help him make such a momentous decision?

Summary
After Rook is murdered, Emmrich Volkarin seeks revenge against those responsible. And unfortunately for Johanna Hezenkoss, she's compelled to accompany him.
-
The sacrifices. The unremitting toil. The distress to the mind, body, and spirit. All for the sake of Thedas, for their life in communion once the Veil had been sealed. To have had Rook taken so violently in yet another act of selflessness. Of course she couldn’t have just stood idly by. Of course she would’ve charged straight towards peril, lacking any prudence. Of course Emmrich had foolishly assumed her heroics had terminated, that she had left that part of herself behind, floating aimlessly in the Lighthouse’s ceaseless orbit. And what benefits did her sacrifice bring forth this time? No more than a handful of mortals saved, the rest perishing, and the murderers still at liberty. A waste, the capricious fingers of fate always squeezing, taking, having never released their grip from Rook’s neck.

Summary
Los Angeles, 1946. Acclaimed Hollywood actor Emmrich Volkarin has faced decades worth of hardships and scandals. He finds unexpected love when paired with Rook Ingellvar, a rising star, in his next feature film. Time will only tell how this budding romance will play out in Tinsletown…
-
There was a hidden chemistry between the pair that unlocked the instant the cameras rolled, as they exchanged lines so naturally they might as well have been doing it together from the outset. It was no wonder Varric was a staunch supporter. Rook matched his fervour, easily slotting herself into character, giving him something to work with, to play with. And their rapport didn’t vanish into the ether when Iron Bull yelled cut—the air was still charged, his hair standing tall while they dallied around each other, stealing glances that spoke of their brief moment shared in secrecy.

Summary
Set a few thousand years after the Sixth and final blight, Emmrich Volkarin adopts his niece, Rhiannon Ingellvar, after her parents perish in an automobile accident.
Or a look into Emmrich Volkarin’s life in Modern Thedas, as a Lich, after being stuck with Johanna Hezenkoss for a thousand+ years.
-
The skeleton sang, absorbed in its work, Volkarin's voice ringing from its hollowed chest. Rhiannon should’ve left, skittered back to her room as fast and as quietly as she had arrived, but she pushed forward. She was drawn to it, to the voice, to the poetic lyrics in an old tongue.
“H-hello?” Rhiannon called out, and the skeleton turned, eye sockets blazing.
A flash of green blinded Rhiannon and she moved away, nearly falling over backwards. She rubbed her eyes, the light clinging to her periphery. When it faded, and the room returned to normal, it was Volkarin who stood where the skeleton had been, fingers clasping the same paintbrush.
“Rhiannon…” Volkarin’s face was long, eyes soft, the smile he forced on his lips crooked. He discarded the brush and rushed towards her, but when he got within arms reach, he hesitated.
