Same or Cross-Faction Romances – What’s Better? Share Your Favorite Pairings!

I’ve been thinking about this a lot and am super curious to hear what you all think! What are your favorite romance pairings? Which ones feel like they’re made for each other, and which ones just don’t click for you?

Here are my thoughts and experiences:

CrowRook - Lucanis My favorite romance so far is Lucanis with a CrowRook. They work so well together! I absolutely love it when he says “our people” and “we.” It makes me feel included and seen in the story. I’ve never romanced him with a Rook from a different faction, so I’m curious—do other factions bring a different dynamic or interesting flair to his romance?

WardenRook - Davrin I romanced Davrin with a WardenRook, and I loved their dynamic. Their shared experiences and backgrounds made the relationship feel so natural and wholesome.

MournWatchRook - Emmerich This romance felt incredibly special to me. The extra dialogue was such a treat, and their connection just made so much sense. It felt so authentic and deeply emotional.

As you can see, I’ve only ever gone for same-faction romances. Are same-faction romances generally better, or are cross-faction ones just as good—or even better?

I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences! Plus, I’m always on the lookout for fresh inspiration for new Rooks.
