Why do the Tevinter Magisters seem to be behind everything!?

..Hellmouth... Now I'm viewing the DA cast as Buffy characters. XD
(Well, Alistair and Zev were partly based off of Xander and Spike respectively...)


I ducked into the Fenris thread to see what people were talking about re:Varric, and only stuck around long enough to read a couple of posts. But the following by Pseudo really stuck with me:

Pseudocognition wrote...

I don't find some guy telling me how bad things are somewhere I have not yet been very persuasive : I guess that's where roleplaying comes in. Anders' views on the Circle are at least backed up by several other characters' similar fears and concerns, Templars like Alrik...

Also I find his view of Tevinter magisters as Always Chaotic Evil very suspect considering this is the ultimate grey and grey morality-verse... unless they actually are Always Chaotic Evil, which is... I don't know. Are they this Age'sAcceptable Target? It feels like we're being set up to hate them and then go there and meet the noble citizens trying to reform from the inside, who keep getting set back because public perception of Tevinter is Always Chaotic Evil.

It's like Anders' "potion"... too easy, too good to be real. Too easy to have a group you can always blame, who are always the bad guys. Edit: Even the Darkspawn have the Architect.


That's a very good point. In a game that's being deliberately set up to have few moral absolutes, why are the Tevinters set up to be the evil guys?
The Black Divine versus the White Divine, the stories told about blood mages killing each other in the street (via Feynriel), abusing slaves as entertainment for each other... it's basically depicted as being the most sinful place in Thedas. It may be wise to distrust that kind of propaganda, because I think we might just be getting set up for a fall.

I desperately want to visit Tevinter, or at least get a less biased perpective on it than Fenris'. Anders' comment about never thinking about what it would be like to live there when you give him the Chantry amulet has me very much wanting a DLC or expansion where Hawke visits it with him, but that's pretty ****ing unlikely at this point. I hope it's addressed in future, because it's on part of Thedas we could very much stand to get more information about.
The issues with slavery and the Qunari would tie in nicely with DA2 - we didn't get to fully confront those subjects in this game, and I'd like to bring them to the forefront of the story.

Good point.  In typical DA-Gut-Punch fashion, I could see our next PC being Tevinter.  We'd get to see more of the Tevinter side, then suddenly it is not so black and white, but more grey.  We will then be against all these other grey countries/civilizations that have always painted us as chaotic evil.  Do we live up to the expectations, or do we prove we weren't so bad all this time after all?

I know this was discussed a bit many many pages back.. but I just read an interesting article over at Greywardens.com (the fan blog) that really gets into the whole Enigma of Kirkwall.

http://greywardens.c...all/#more-11902

I knew from reading the codex that the veil is extremely thin there but I didn't realize that the city itself (as in the way the streets are mapped out) may have been planned as one big focus for magical energy - possibly even a set up for a massive spell.

It's an interesting read.

Oh and on a different topic, I was playing around in the bone pits and clicked on Anders. I finally got the line, "No wonder they call this the Dragon Age, the bloody things are everywhere."
It was perfect timing since we just killed the mature dragon (in act I)


Yes, I adore the mysteries behind the Enigma codices, and I'm sincerely hoping that they're not just some throwaway lore BW threw in for achievement hunters. There's something very big going on there and it would be a crying shame if they let something so fascinating and huge just slip by without any further references.

We've determined that Kirkwall is the Hellmouth of the Free Marches, but I want to know how and why more than any other mystery that DA2 threw up. What happens to Hawke and the Warden once they go missing? Yeah, I guess. are the Qunari invading? That'd be good to know. What the **** were the magisters doing in Kirkwall? TELL ME NOW PLZ.


I love collecting lore. Thedas lore is the most fascinating RPG lore I've ever seen. More so than Forgotten Realms (Because after 4th edition, that just went to hell)

Hadn't read that before. Interesting. Kirkwall's number of blood mages did seem off, but this explains.

Edit: The site has a trojan, btw. My virus scanner flared up when I opened the link.
