1	!!Chapter 1:
2	* When an [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Rift Demon]] appears suddenly before her, what is Arturia's first instinct to fight a thing she's never seen in her life from a [[SpiritWorld world beyond her comprehension]]? Go grab a sword on the ground ''and fucking kill it!''
3	* How she does it go about it? Why, by ramming her through said demon before running the tip of her blade through the ''other'' Rift Demon that her current warden is fighting off! Thus killing one, while weakening the other for an easy kill for Cassandra.
4	* And then there's speech she delivers to the (former) Seeker of Truth that actually ''moves'' [[InspectorJavert Cassandra]] to letting her keep her sword. That fact that Arturia, [[TraumaCongaLine after coming from fresh off of events that saw her ideals mocked and tarnished, witnessing firsthand how low so-called 'heroes' would go for their selfishness, and having her own dream of saving her kingdom lost forever now]], she ''STILL'' has the will to go on and be 100% truthful with every single word she's saying and convince Cassandra, who has every right to think [[HellGate the Breach and everything that's occurring is her doing]] speaks ''exactly'' [[KnightInShiningArmor of Arturia's character.]]
5	--> '''Arturia''' ''(to Cassandra)'': [[Myth/KingArthur I am Arturia Pendragon]], [[DimensionalTraveler I am not from around here, I know nothing of this land, so to everyone here, I am a stranger.]] But I am a Knight, a Knight who is lost, so I am in need of guidance to this world, and so I am in need of you, and if you would help me, I will give you my thanks by putting my life on the line, and fight beside you, but that is only if [[GiveMeASword I have something to defend myself.]]

7	!!Chapter 2:
8	* The beginning about [[DragonKnight Arturia]] and [[ChurchMilitant Cassandra]] learning to be SmashSisters as they make it through the Valley and killing all sorts of demons in their way. Basically, its two kickass [[ActionGirl Action Girls]] absolutely ''slaughtering'' any creature spawned from TheLegionsOfHell that is foolish enough to get in their way.
9	* At the end of the chapter, Arturia up and decides to personally lead the group into the Valley, seeing this as the best she can do for [[DyingMomentOfAwesome the many of soldiers that are most definitely going to die getting to the Breach.]] After such a bold action, practically EVERYONE decides to follow her in order to get her to the Breach as safely as possible. Can anyone say MagneticHero or what?

11	!!Chapter 3:
12	* After getting hit head on by an [[ShockAndAwe bolt of lightening]] from a [[GiantEqualsInvincible Pride Demon]] when reuniting with Excalibur, Arturia gets [[BuriedAlive herself buried under a huge pile of rocks]], that would have surely killed anyone else under those circumstances. In Arturia's case? She ''explodes'' out of that death trap, before managing to knocking [[TheJuggernaut Pride Demon]] ''into the air'' and have it [[PintSizedPowerhouse skid across the battlefield]]. Everyone at that moment could FEEL the OhCrap it had at that moment.
13	* The above StunnedSilence simply expands when [[TransformationIsAFreeAction regains her true armor and clothing]], BattleBallgown and all, making it to everyone at that moment that [[LetsGetDangerous she is ready to really get thing started.]]
14	--> '''Varric:''' [[LampshadeHanging She really should have gotten that sword sooner.]]
15	* Deciding to do an attack that'll atleast stagger the Pride Demon long enough, Arturia [[DidntSeeThatComing accidentally adds the Mark's power to Excalibur's]]. The end result? [[TorsoWithAView One Pride Demon with a giant hole in its person!]]
16
17	!!Chapter 4:
18	* Thanks to the power of the Mark/Anchor, Excalibur is now an LivingWeapon...and is now officially the Excalibur from Manga/SoulEater.

21	!!Chapter 5:
22	* Solas knows EXACTLY who Arturia is and is simply waiting to see what she does next to change Thedas.
23
24	!!Chapter 6:
25	* After utterly beating back the rogue Mages and Templars warring in the environment, the Inquisition plants their flag, effectively making an DeclarationOfProtection that extends to the ''entirety'' of the Hinterlands.
26
27	!!Chapter 8:
28	* While chapter 2 shows some of it, this chapter completely hammers in just how much of an [[MagneticHero Magnetic Heroine]] Arturia Pendragon is, getting a whole new slew of followers, believers, and members for the Inquisition's cause that GREATLY bolsters the group's forces and influence.
29	* During an heated argument on whether or not MurderIsTheBestSolution when dealing with a traitor, Leliana [[SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids disses Arturia for being so idealistic in a world like Thedas]]... which proves to be a fatal mistake on her part, with Arturia giving a [[TranquilFury cold-blooded response]] that makes Leliana think twice about just who the hell she's working with.
30	--> '''Arturia:''' [[SuppressedRage Is this the best from the Inquisition's Spymaster?]] I thought collecting vital information is what you exceed at, and yet here you're about to throw it away without checking for any worth first. It would appear I need to make something very clear: [[PragmaticHero I am NOT asking you to spare the agent out of mercy, what I am asking for you to prolong his life when his value still exists.]] Though if he asks for his life in exchange I would not dawdle about that, we need to have advantages where we shall take them with how utterly unstable and at risk our position still is, otherwise we'll get nothing and we'll be biting at the end of the bone. Have I made myself clear ''now Leliana''?
31
32	!!Chapter 9:
33	* [[BigBad The Elder One]] revealing that [[spoiler: they have a past with Arturia]] to her subordinates casually, scarily yet accurately [[HonorBeforeReason summing up the kind of person she is.]] It is very clear that this is a villain '''NOT''' to be trifled with.
34
35	!!Chapter 10:
36	* Arturia coming in and [[ShutUpHannibal smoothly shutting down]] Revered Mother Hevara's damning accusations against her and the Inquisition in just [[GuileHero a couple of sentences]].
37	* The above totally PALES in comparison to the Arturia [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech burning hot flaying delivers to the Lord Seeker Lucius]]. Like in canon, the Lord Seeker has one of his men [[WouldHitAGirl punch out Hevara]] in front of everybody before going to insult everyone within earshot. ''Unlike'' canon, however, the Herald aka Arturia isn't having NONE of his self-righteous bullshit:
38	--> '''Lucius:''' You have showed me nothing. The Inquisition...is less than nothing.
39	--> '''Arturia:''' ...And you think you are in a position of such earned respect? Because from what I have seen so far, [[RefugeInAudacity you are hardly a man deserving of ANY sort of recognition.]]
40	--> '''Lucius:''' What right does a faker, let alone a child like you [[TemptingFate have to say such things?!]]
41	--> '''Arturia:''' [[ArmorPiercingResponse The right that contradicts your poor claims.]] You say that the Inquisition has done nothing? ''Is'' less than nothing? I fail to see how that is possible, since all we've done up to this point was bring an end to [[WorldGoneMad all the chaos surrounding the Breach that has been spreading unprecedentedly across Thedas]]. How do you claim our nothingness to be true, [[{{Hypocrite}} when I have heard no templar doing anything to help calm and subdue the pure hell that has broken loose in Thedas?]] [[MoralMyopia You claim righteousness, and yet you allowed your own men to assault a defenseless member of the Chantry who have went so far as to ask for your aid?]] Explain this to me, [[GoodCannotComprehendEvil for I can't seem to comprehend]] how any of this upholds the ''justice'' that the Templar Order swear themselves to be. By what right do you have to insult the Inquisition and call us nothing but a group of heretics, when it was the same Inquisition, whom all should know by now, that made an effort to keep the Hinterlands safe once more, whereas the Mages and ''your'' Templars have done nothing but cause bloodshed and destruction, involving the lives of innocents in the midst of it and leaving them behind to suffer and die? Where were ''your'' men when those people have cried for help? Where were your men when the suffering were left starving, bleeding, and their hearts grieving for the death of their loved ones? Answer me this, ''Lord Seeker'' Lucius: where were ''you'', [[ArmorPiercingQuestion and what have you or your men done that the Inquisition has failed to do?]] Give me one reason why I should offer you the ''slightest'' bit of respect you so claim to deserve?!
42	--> ''[[StunnedSilence Silence. Utter Silence.]]''
43	--> With every word relayed by Arturia, the anger of the Templars slowly diminishes into that of thoughtfulness, and realization evolves into horror and the uncertainty of how to rebuke her undeniable truth. With every word said by the Herald of Andraste, the crowd around them exchanges looks of uncertainty, morphing into the agreement of her truth, and the deep contempt with hatred shot through their increasing glares towards the Templars.
44	--> '''Arturia:''' [[EnemyMine I could cooperate with men that I don't personally get along with to an extent]], [[TeethClenchedTeamwork that I know I am capable of.]] [[ShoutOut But you...]] ''[[Series/{{Sherlock}} repel]]'' [[Series/{{Sherlock}} me.]]
45
46	!!Chapter 14:
47	* The siege of the fort at the Storm Coast, which showcases just how good of a [[TheStrategist Strategist]] the King of Knights is after so many years of obtaining this kind of experience.
48	** Shout out to Sera, who [[OneManArmy single-handedly]] weakened the ''entire'' fortress beforehand without getting caught until it was far too late for its defenders.
49
50	!!Chapter 17:
51	* The Inquisition group of companions proving themselves as quite the BadassCrew by taking on and killing almost ''everything'' [[EverythingTryingToKillYou the Fallow Mire]] had to throw at them, calumniating in them saving the captured Inquisition soldiers.
52
53	!!Chapter 23:
54	* Cullen's RousingSpeech to the Templar Order very much deserves mention:
55	--> '''Cullen:''' We have a new mission to take, making right with what's left in this hold. I once served the Order faithfully, and even now, I still have faith in what it stands for. To protect the people of Thedas, in service of the Maker. For anyone who still believes in their cause, to truly and willing to stand for protecting Thedas, and fight against those who had threaten to dismember and turn our order into a catalyst of destruction. Even as we fight against our own, we fight in their honor and the life of everyone that live outside these walls. We are what's left to stay true to our oath, what says you men!
56
57	!!Chapter 31:
58
59	* With the combined forces of the Mages and Templars, a situation previously thought to be impossible, Arturia manages to close the Breach
