Hang on, I will get a pic comparison going on for you:

Ohhh, that is indeed very similar in style.

(ps didn't mean to insult you, Utoryo, apologies)

No problem, I realize it's pretty hard to come up with something genuinely original in every way when there have been so many threads on these forums for so many years. And to be honest I hadn't even seen that wallpaper (or simply didn't notice?) so that's great info.

SirShreK: there is *no other statue* in the Dalish Elf origin. You must be adds up to four limbs though *shrugs* Comparing statues is certainly intriguing though, good catch on the mother of the Halla. In fact there are similar statues in the Dalish Elf Origin ruins iirc.

Something I've never seen someone talk about is the relationship between elves and dwarves. At the end of the tunnel after the mirror (which you can only access by refusing Duncan's proposal to leave immediately), you find a 'strange statue' with the following description: "A strange statue commemmorating the emergence of--and short-lived trading relationship with--dwarves who dug too high and too frugal and struck elves."

That also confirms that there indeed were elves in those ruins, rather than humans. It is said to be 'human architecture' but that they must have known of the elven gods - so there are three possibilities: 1) humans living with elves. 2) humans with some elven culture. 3) elves with some human culture. That strange statue seems to exclude the second possibility, and hints more towards the third surprisingly enough. Hmmm...

Sounds familiar but from another fantasy movie/game

I like some of the more imaginative ideas, like the black city being Arlathan in some form.

Maybe the magisters came back in time to conduct a ritual, to gain power from the ancient city which might have had some sort of innate power in it.  Which in turn gave elves immortality, and possibly magical power, but were unwilling to fight back because of the corrupting influence of humanity.  If humanity has a corrupting influence on elves... and the elves' power came from what now is the black city, which used to be the golden city... then maybe the story of humanity entering the golden city is one and the same as them trying to go to the former source of elven power.  Which they did to become gods, thinking they could get the immortality and magic of the elves.  

What, then, connects Archdemons into all of this?

I don't particularly think that's irrefutable evidence that we'll meet immortal survivors of Arlathan, however. That's a little wacky.

Arlathan many were killed so there should be a large tear to the fade.

So maybe a very strong demon *of unknown type after all no where did they say the ones mentions were absolutely the only kinds their are*

So the Strong Demon gets a good look at everything.Captures many souls and replicates Arlathan in the fade.Or it was like Heaven for the fallen Elves.WHen the Magisters touched it It reminded them all of what happened and as revenge corrupted them which broke their heaven and left themselves coruppted...Well i have no real idea.

You ignored a possibility: Elves are Humans. Or Humans are evolved Elves. Both culturally and physiologically.

Hmm, I did consider that in the past (in the sense that humans originate from elves one way or another), but actually I didn't consider the consequences in that context and they'd be very interesting indeed.
