As far as I know, Arlathan was still conjecture at this point. Sure we've got tidbits hinting in that direction, but BioWare could be giving us a massive curveball... *evil grin*

But let's assume Arlathan is involved, and address your argument that it is wasted on a human protagonist.  I'm afraid I have to say I disagree wholeheartedly. Think of the impact a human can have visiting this ancient elven city, destroyed by his kind. Imagine the reactions of its inhabitants when they finally see a human after all these years. I can't imagine they're going to be pleased about it.  Then imagine the effects of a human siding with the elves and their ancient city, both of which were crushed brutally from existence so long ago by the Imperium.

If we're talking about Hawke becoming the most important hero of Thedas... then he has to do something big.

so very true and that would be ace or failing that he could end up helping to free the elven people at least in his part of the world.

So we know that Arlathan has sunk into the ground, and that said ground may or may not be heavily tainted, and that if any elves survived they would have been left to stew in their hatred for humans (and potentially the rest of Thedas) for thousands of years



Hateful elves from a tainted area underground. . .



Does this scream "Obligatory Dark Elves ahoy" to anyone?

So, what does the fan-community (and the good Bioware folk, if they care to grace this thread with their presence) think of all this Arlathan talk and such that has recently cropped up on the forums?

I think it's awesome that people are speculating and even more amazing that people are so in-tune with the IP that they're able to offer some really compelling thoughts on a culture that, while central to the DA universe, didn't receive a lot of air time in Origins.

Shine on, you crazy diamonds.

Mike you're a horrible tease, and here I thought we might get a little more insight into the Story and/or Thedas Lore in general... oh well maybe next time

As long as they don't have black-skin, white-hair, a fetish for spiders and an NPC who's name is a combination of the letters D-I-R-T-Z-Z I'm happy.
