The Best Decoration Options For Your Room In Dragon Age: The Veilguard

You know, being the person responsible for saving Thedas from a bunch of evil Elven gods can be quite a tiring task, especially because, between all the fighting and leading your team, all the pressure is on your shoulders. Thus, focusing your mind on the simpler things, such as decorating your room, is a good way to relax.

Jokes aside, Dragon Age: The Veilguard offers your Rook a nice personal room with a charming aquarium and no bed, for whatever reason. One thing the game lets you do with your room is add a few items for decoration here and there, making each room unique for each Rook that goes through the game.

10 Varric’s Shaving Mirror

It’ll Always Show The Face Of A Hero Who Can Get It Done

This simple mirror is literally the first decorative item you get, and in terms of how it looks, there’s nothing really special about it. However, this mirror is one of the most important items for Rook because of the narrative weight behind it; it’s a present from Varric Tethras, after all.

Along with the fact that it’s a gift from a close friend, it’s also used to define some extra traits about your character after the creation process, such as basic personality, how they value their scars or tattoos, or if your character is cisgender or transgender.

9 Your Faction’s Exclusive Item

It Defines Who You Are

After getting the mirror, you’ll get a few items that change based on your choices from character creation: One for your faction, one for your race, and the last one from your class. All of them are great additions, but your race doesn’t do much other than flavor and the occasional dialogue, and your class is mostly relevant for gameplay.

Of all these, the faction you choose hits your character’s narrative the most, as it defines your backstory. Thus, having a small trinket based on your past is a nice treat and an excellent decoration item.

8 Brona’s Bloom Bouquet

Save The World

Rook’s room is in dire need of some plants, so these flowers are more than welcome in it. And while they don’t have any narrative ties to your backstory, they’re related to a series of side missions with the Grey Wardens in the Hossberg Wetlands.

We won’t write the details of these missions here for the sake of not spoiling anything, but if can get these by helping the Wardens’ best couple, Antoine and Evka, with their problems in the wetlands.

7 Dalish Nug Sculpture

Perfection

It’s a Nug – and yes, that is the entirety of our argument. Nugs are one of the faces of the series – at least for those familiar with it, because they may not appear in promotional material, but they appear here and there in the games.

These small, hairless creatures can be seen wandering around Arlathan, and they are one of the animals that represent the place, along with the Hallas. They’re also a food source in some places around Thedas.

6 Elven Bass

Musical Instruments Are Always A Good Pick

Speaking about the elves a bit further, you can also pick musical instruments from them along with sculptures to make your place look better – making a cute narrative fit for your Rook if they’re also an elf, though the instrument itself looks cool regardless.

Regardless of picking it for narrative reasons or just for the aesthetic, your room will look a lot better with a musical instrument in it. And it gets to stay there and never be played, which is very relatable.

5 Tapestry: The Joining

In War, Victory

Let’s talk a bit about the most picked faction in the game thus far, the Grey Wardens. If you want to get something that relates to Warden Rook or just something to reminisce about your time playing Dragon Age: Origins, this tapestry is a perfect pick.

Sure, the artwork here is very romanticized compared to how it went there, but hey, that’s how art usually goes, anyway. The art itself looks gorgeous, and it makes for amazing decoration either way.

4 Tapestry: Sacrifice

In Death, Sacrifice

You can match the tapestry above by placing this one in the room as well, showing the ultimate ending of any Grey Warden. Whether it’s from the Calling or just a situation that went wrong, their idea is to fight until the end, and this artwork represents it well.

Thus, you can have both tapestries to represent the beginning and the ending of a true Warden’s life and then prepare your Warden to fight all the darkspawn it’ll take to save Thedas from the Elven Gods.

3 Skull Display

Very Metal

A faction that didn’t get a lot of attention from the community at first is the Mourn Watch, but their unique take on death made them particularly charming. It also helps that Emmrich is one of the coolest companions in the game, and Manfred is just the best.

You can add this skull to your room to give it a bit of the Mourn Watch aesthetic. It’s so terrifyingly small that we don’t want to discuss where it came from. It also comes with a nice blade, as the person died because of it.

2 Crow Contract: Avatar

Down With False Prophets

Sadly, we couldn’t find a proper alphabet to translate this contract for you. Still, if you’re an Antivan Crow and want something of the sort to add to your room, this is one of the coolest options. A tablet with glowing letters is a pretty great decorative item, after all.

The description states that it’s a pledge of support against false prophets, so it’s nice to know we have at least a bit of a notion of what the tablet is talking about, even though we can’t read word for word of it.

1 Scrying Orb

Ponder It, Mage

All cards on the table, we don’t know what exactly this orb is supposed to be. Its description talks about the orb showing or having (likely showing as ‘scrying’ implies divination) a tyrannical magister and an exacting Shadow Dragon battling forever, but we don’t see it.

Regardless, it’s an extremely beautiful decoration, and because of its description, it’s quite fitting for a Shadow Dragon, which may go well with their Tevinter lighthouse theme and make everything match – though the decoration will make things red and the orb is blue.
