I immediately thought of Solas, or Fen'Harel from Dragon Age Inquisition (because he is an elf and has "knives" for ears and was friends with both Gods and spirits), but none of the things relating to him that I tried to write in were correct. Hmm...

I tried:
Solas
Fen'Harel
The Dread Wolf
Dreadwolf
Dragon Age Inquisition
Dragon Age Veilguard
Dragon age Dreadwolf

*kicks feet in excitement* OOOH IT'S STARTED

“Apocryphal” can refer to something that is outside the normal canon of something. If this is about DA, maybe something to do with a book or other supplementary canon?

I'm wondering what the "invasive species" can be, if it has anything to do with it...maybe it could be spirits, since Solas kind of invited both spirits and demons into the world with his shennanigans. I am terrible at riddles but these are just my immediate thoughts hah

Oh I have an idea of an invasive species with words sharper than knives and apocryphal writings, but I need another clue

The only dragons I'm really familiar with are those in TESV: Skyrim. I've never read A Song of Ice and Fire or the show adaptation Game of Thrones. I am familiar with Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire when they had to defeat dragons, though...

I looked up Rebel Bride on google and got a *ahem* scandalous novel by Ava Sinclair.

Could it be related to anything from A Game of Thrones?

Because there's another locked symbol with a dragon portrait called the fire symbol, I doubt this one is game of throne related.

My guess is either Dragon Age, Skyrim, or Monster Hunter.

That other draconic symbol is related to the Wings of Fire series, I think. This one I don't recognise as being a logo of anything.

That was my thought as well, the Fire symbol is practically exact for the Wings of Fire logo. I know next to zero about AGoT though, and hoped my shot in the dark would help spark ideas.

Hmm, if it is from the Song of Ice and Fire verse, it would likely be from House of the Dragon.

Doing some thinking on this one:

Knives but not in his hands obviously refers to teeth like knives.
Apocraphal friend means it's an ally of a protagonist but probably a liar/manipulating them.
At the side of the Rebel bride is what's stumping me.

Smaug comes to mind, but it doesn't fit the last one.

Tried all 3 of Daenarys's dragons from Game of Thrones.

Rhaegal
Drogon
Viserion

No luck.

Free hint: The knives are his ears

Gotta be Dragon Age, elves are often called knife-ears. If the rebel bride is Andraste, then the elf at her side is Shartan.

That’s sounding like Dragon Age, then - knife-ear is a pejorative for elves. Dalish elves in particular?

Rebel Bride, though… there is a Rebel Queen? And at least one other lady who’s a rebel that gets married in one of the books.

Reading about Shartan and the Dissonant Verses, the wiki page says that the Canticle that tells of his heroism is of an unverified author, and also that it's stricken from the Chantry in the Golden Age. So that fits the Apocryphal part as well

And while not specifically labeled in lore as the rebel bride, Andraste is the Maker's Bride and led the rebellion/Exalted March against the Tevinter Imperium. I don't think Moira (the Rebel Queen) had any elves around her, at least not from what I've been able to dig up
