Dragon Age Lore - General Discussion

    True, true...but I wonder. Flemeth, as far as I know, isn't really Mythal...At least not entirely. She might be 90% Mythal, with only a little left over from the woman that was once Flemeth, but I do feel like there might be a significant difference. For all we know, Mythal might be a Dragon who can transform into an Elf/Human form...Obviously it's a bit hard to say, and yeah I definitely think Flemeth can transform into different animals, but we know there's something about the Godhood/Power that enables someone to transform into a Dragon.

    Why would Mythal be a dragon when all the rest of the elven guys were elves? It would be more logical to assume that she just could turn into a dragon. Since a dragon by itself is a really powerful creature, maintaining that form should require a lot of power. So I'd rather assume that Mythal was an elf who could turn into a dragon that the opposite. As for the Tevinter gods, they probably didn't have anything to do with the elven ones. Maybe were enemies even.

    Yeah I really can't see anyone (other than Mages) agreeing to it, but it would probably be fairly effective. 

    Why, Tevinter.

    Aw man this is so tempting to post a long winded crazy theory about the Qunari, Elves and Reavers. But I'll be brief and i'm not he only one whos thought of it either so theres that I geuss.

    Without droning on for to long the jist of it is that, the Tevinter Imperium did some crazy experiments on the Elves using dragon blood witch resulted in uncontrollable "Super Elf Soldiers" (Qunari). Who then revolted against the Vints and fled the Thedas continent to come back at a later period as the Qunari or Kosith if were getting technical since Qunari is a belief or religion or somthing.

    Anyway if your paying atention, throughout the game there are several points where characters indirectly and sometimes directly hint at there being somthing weird going on with Qunari blood. And Dragon Blood having the ability to turn reavers slowly more draconic looking in apearance.

    Man i'm so tempted to post a DA build now lol. It'd probs be my Rift Mage or Reaver if I were to.

    I thought the Kosith are supposed to be the ancestors of the modern Qunari, and then the Qun is the Religion...Alright so yeah, thought it'd be confusing :P Essentially you have Vashoth who are Qunari in Race but not part of the Qun (Tal-Vashoth are those that leave the Qun), then you have the Viddathari who are Humans/Dwarves/Elves that join the Qun.

    It's super confusing stuff half the time, had to look it up just to be sure I knew what I was on about (and I mostly was, didn't know there was a difference between Vashoth and Tal-Vashoth but you learn new stuff every day) :D

    But that seems like a pretty plausible theory. I mean the Tevinter are something I haven't fully explored yet (kinda waiting for the Dragon Age game that brings us to Tevinter) but it seems like the sort of thing they'd do. There are plenty of people that comment negatively about the Qunari's existence, and if there's anyone likely to change an existence it's the Tevinters... 

    Man i'm so tempted to post a DA build now lol. It'd probs be my Rift Mage or Reaver if I were to.

    Yep, do it :P We gotta get that trend going a little bit :D Would really be interested in a Reaver myself since it's class that I plan to run sometime soon (One-Handed Reaver at that, just to see if it's as awesome as I think it will be), but Rift Mages...are pretty interesting, leaves the build open for a lot of combinations.

    For some reason I suspect that the Vints are not that ancient. If they were the ones who created the Qunari, it would take a really long time for them to first free themselves from the Vints, them find themselves another place far far away, then develop into the culture we know and then come back. And since there is information about things that happened even before the Vints came to be (the ancient elves times), there would definitely be some data about something as big as a huge slave rebellion in Tevinter.

    Man the Qunari/Vashoth/Kosith are so confusing lol. Add into the mix that qunari who are made into Brood mothers make Ogres then the lore surrounding when they first came to Thedas gets really weird cause Ogres have been around for ages but the Qunari were only supposed to have been known about for like just over 400 years haha. They just like to make us confused as heck about these guys :P

    I think I have a video of my Rift Mage on my xbox somwhere if I can find it, I'll link it to ya to show you :D

    Aw man it's a bit more complicated than what i make it sound, I really didn't do it justice. I rember reading somone else's interpretation of it on Redit a while back that truly made me believe that this could be a legit and plausable thing, or at the very least partially. If I can fiid it 'll link it into the discussion.

    I wonder if we'll find out more about the Blackened City when and if we get a Dragon Age game exploring it. 

  • October 31, 2018

    We don't know how long exactly Ogres have been around. Could as well be 400 years, for most humans that sounds like "always", lol.

    Here some info i could find on Qunari - Elf connection. Not the original one from Reddit ( that was a lot more indepth) But this is pretty good too.

    Spoiler:

     

     

     

    The Black city is implied to be Arlathan. Solas hints at this in the Tresspasser DLC, also there are some codex entries you can find in the crossroads that seem to imply this as well. Though it's worth noting they never flat out say it so there is that. I tcould just be the devs throwing a curve ball at as lol.

    Might help. I'm also going to have to read through a bit of information on the Tevinter because clearly I don't have a grasp on them, or really the sime scale of Thedas (other than some stuff happening a long time ago and other stuff happening a really long time ago.)
