Dumat or the "Dragon of Silence" was the first among the Old Gods, ancient draconic beings said to be imprisoned underground by the Maker for usurping his worshipers. Dumat was believed the most powerful of the Old Gods and the one who originally taught blood magic to Archon Thalsian, the founder of the Tevinter Imperium.


Sandal is not Bodahn's biological son, but was found in one of Bodahn's many journeys into the Deep Roads and is since cared for by his 'father'. According to Bodahn, Sandal may be lyrium addled due to the exposure to lyrium in the Deep Roads.

But what if Sandal wasn't exposed to lyrium but the fleeting essence of Dumat that got a foothold within him? What if his prison is that of an orphaned Dwarf? Dumat is cursed forever to be trapped by this...

With consideration to the fact that, when an Archdemon dies, he/she/it is reborn (unless killed by a Grey Warden) into the next nearest Darkspawn vessel. Dwarves are not Darkspawn, and therefore the passed on "Essence," of the -first- Archdemon (yep, this 'oon here started the First Blight nearly a thousand years before DA:O) should not have made it's way to poor Sandal.



And besides, why would Sandal mercilessly strike down all those Darkspawn in Fort Drakon if dying meant...living.

ENCHANTMENT!

I want to say that that's the most bat **** insane thing I've ever heard, but... then I'd look like an idiot when it turns out that it's true.



So, yeah sure. Why not? I've seen wierder.

....



After the fall of the magisters in -395 Ancient (800 TE), the first darkspawn burrowed into Dumat's underground prison, where the Old God was corrupted and transformed into the first archdemon, launching the First Blight. Dumat was finally slain by Grey Wardens at the Battle of Silent Fields in -203 Ancient (992 TE), after almost 200 years of Blight and approximately 1,000 years before the events in Dragon Age: Origins.





Dumat is dead, brah. Slain by Grey Wardens. Wasn't reincarnated. Deader than a fish trying to swim in a cats stomach acid.

Just what I was about to say. He was the first to be killed.

First Archdemon, and first to die. The only two LEFT are Razikale and Lusacan. And they haven't been discovered yet. So..yeah. Theory kind of falls flat.



My personal theory is that lyrium-addled Sandal turned him into a darkspawn killing field. Explains the dead darkspawn. and the dead Ogre. Either that, or his whole body is ENCHANTED with Grandmaster runes up the wazoo.

Sounds like a Dragon Age spin off: 'Enchantment' starring Sandal the Dwarf, Bodahn Fennic his legal guardian, and Dumat the terrifying Old God. and Dragon of Silence.

'Enchantment', launching in the fall, is Dragon Age's first forray into television and will be a spin on the typical odd couple style of sitcom. Playing out like a mixture of Only Fools and Horses, Porridge and Pinky and the Brain each episode will reveal Dumat's latest plan to escape the confines of his 'cell' and take over the world, while Sandal and Bodahn get involved in a hilarious comedy of errors while trading and adventuring (often involving cameos from the stars of Dragon Age!) which much to Dumat's frustration always inevitably leads to them unintentionally foiling his plans for world domination.

A comedy for all the family, can you really afford to miss Enchantment?

Enchantment!

It is the only explanation to how Sandal managed to get to the Fort Drakon.

Fair points.

But does anyone actually know the manner in which Dumat was killed? He was the First Archdemon so Grey Warden knowledge may have been limited back then. It could have been a temporary defeat.

What if some kind of Morrigan-esque trickery took place and Dumat was merely banished for a very, very long time - only to claw his way back into the body of Sandal?

Or alternatively - Sandal could contain the purified essence of Dumat and not the Archdemon version. Sandal is defintely some kind of super powerful deity though. I can sense it.

Dumat was the first and the greatest AND pioneered blood magic. It would explain the events that occurred in Fort Drakon rather nicely... AoE blood spell.

Sandal in Fort Drakon was so random. And funny.

Sandal is the God Baby who went BACK TO THE PAST in the BACK TO THE FUTURE time machine which was rewired so it could go BACK TO THE PRESENT so he could murder everyone in THE PRESENT, Then Suddenly in the BAT CAVE... "BWhahahahha, Sandal... All is complete... Goodddd...! GOOOOOOOOOOOD!!" "Riiiiiiiiise Darth Sandal... Sell yourself to those that need foot protection... *Star Wars Music Plays*"

Or alternatively Dumat could have used his overwhelming blood magic to circumvent the killing blow of the Grey Wardens and give the illusion he was defeated.



Biding his time for 1000 years. Finding the perfect host in the most innocent of subjects and preparing to unleash the ultimate Blight To End All Blights.



Something major happened in those tunnels to Sandal before Bodahn found him. Sandal is quite possibly the most important character of the entire franchise. And I'm being deadly serious.

You remember him in Fort Drakon with all the Darkspawn corpses around him? He did the same to those in the Deep Roads. 

Sandal is either the Maker or he is a Spirit of the Fade, the Spirit of Awesomeness (KungFu Panda dream come through) :devil:
