NOT Arlathan forrest. The silent plains, where you rightly point out, the final battle with Dumat was fought. it is curious that the Silent Plains are at the center of the continent, where according to the history of Arlathan, was the city situated. I would like to draw you attention there again. The shape of the silen "Plains" is rather like a depression, surrounded by mountains (the white patches, since there are no clouds on the map).
About Retconning: Gaider and CO. posses all the rights to Retcon any theory into being, including the OGB alive/dead.
I would like to discuss this: The central plot lines of DA universe are about:
1. Arlathan
2. Blood Magic
3. Elven History and pantheon (fen'harel)
4 A touch of Flemeth/Morrigan.
Sure, I acknowledge the power that the writers have. That doesn't mean I have to like it, though, having a canon induced on a series about choice.
If it makes you feel any better, I still like the writers themselves. David still owes me a conclusive answer as to the DR being canonized or not after I've either written or traveled to the Vatican (inside joke).
Where exactly do you get the Arlethan being in the middle of the Silent Plains from? I cannot find any source to this.
Also:
"Ancient elves worshipped a pantheon of five gods and four goddesses. Their mythology also mentions another set of gods called the "Forgotten Ones", the enemies of the elven pantheon. Only Fen'Harel, the trickster god of the elven pantheon, was able to walk freely between both groups. Elven legend attributes the failure of their gods to intervene in the fall of Elvhenan to Fen'Harel, who, it is claimed, deceived both the elven pantheon and the Forgotten Ones, trapping the former away in heaven and the latter in the abyss, where they could no longer influence events in the mortal world."
To take away that the thought some seem to have that the Gods of the Pantheon are the Forgotten Ones: they are seperate Pantheons. Heaven is very obviously the Golden City in here, whille the abyss is under Thedas. Which means the "Maker" might be 8 seperate entities (or the 8 trapped elven gods fused or something).
Fen'Harel would probably be Flemeth, also note how Fen's wolf form looks like Morrigan's.
