I find what "mrfitz" is speculating about , here above me, is interesting. I don't think however it has anything to do with the "other" kind of lirium, based solely on that Sandal's eyes are blue whilst Meredith's eyes are red. Basically that he is a pre-dwarf created from lirium compared to regular dwarves originating from the stone, according to their beliefs.

It would be a plausible explanation as to how the dwarves could bind dwarves within golems. The genetic connection between lirium and stone, I mean.

She goes "Iam a old, old woman. Beyond that you neednt know more."



Or, you know, she's just a really old woman, who can turn into a dragon, and stuff.

She's more than an old woman. She's not even human.

Its just the way she says it and the fact that she says it to Fenris, a ex Tevinter slave that has knowledge of the Old Gods that makes me believe she is in fact a uncorrupted old god.


She says that exact line even if you don't bring Fenris. She's something, that's for sure, I doubt it's an Old God. The Architect mentions that darkspawn can taint one if they even get close. He (Or one of his darkspawn minions) got too close to...whatever the last one's name was and that was how the 5th blight started.

I don't think Sandal is an Old God for the same reasons. Maybe he's a elven/dwarven mage. Remember the allusion to the dwarves giving shelter to the elves underground? Could be some thaig out there with elven blooded dwaves, casting spells and...other magic-y things. Or he's the maker, trapped in a "touched" dwarf's mind. Or he's just some badass little dwarf mage, the posibilities are endless! :o

The more believable theories I've seen is the possibility he's only half dwarf and can possibly do magic, that the old lady he's seeing is possibly Flemeth (or a desire demon), and that he's probably going to end up where DAIII is going to be set (and that's IF there is a DAIII).

I believe there is more to him than just being a savant. But the other theories have me rolling though, good stuff. He really did pull a Sixth Sense in game though, funny stuff. Enchanter, Dog Whisperer, and prophet among other things makes the man of mystery Sandal fun to speculate on.

Sandal annoys the living crap out of me. Maybe an anvil will fall on his head.

I think "not enchantment" might refer to the exact opposite of what he usually does. If you disenchant something that only exists because of twisted magic, like that ogre... What might happen?

Firstly, why do the dalish "worship" Flemeth? She must be VERY important.

Also, I say we all make a petition for DA3 where both Sandal And/or Flemeth are party members.

Old Gods vs Maker.

Personally I Believe the maker is a load of bull**** but.......

Sandal is planning something, he`s playing stupid but in DA3 he`s going to come out and lead the mage revolution and kill armies with a wave of his hand.

SPOILER ALERT!!!!

Sandal is the opposition to Flemeth. She's the complex, chaotic force in the game. He's the simple, stabilizing force in the game. They both exist outside the normal rules of Thedas and its magic.

The final battle will take place between those two.

Who will win? Place your bets!

Sandal is Fen'Harel's mortal avatar - the Trickster decided playing as a Dwarven idiot savant would be entertaining.

For anyone who's seen the movie Dreamcatcher, Sandal is Duddits...

Anyone who's READ Dreamcatcher knows that Sandal dies protecting his friends and doesn't turn into an alien.

Gah! Sandal theories just send me over the edge…

For instance we know Dwarves have some relation to Magic…

 

Magical Resistance

Unlike elves and humans, dwarves do not naturally enter the Fade when they dream and cannot tap into it, though this does not mean they are completely barred from the Fade. Because of this, they have a resistance to magic, which also gives them a resistance to the dangerous effects of lyrium.
It is hinted that dwarves may not be absolutely barred from magic. The fact that dwarves may be forced into the Fade (via Sloth Demon or the First's spell) and that surface dwarves lose resistance to lyrium may be evidence that dwarves may be able to do magic. Dwarves can also learn the Templar and Spirit Warrior specializations, which tap into what are arguably magical powers. Despite this, no dwarf mages are known and it is yet to be seen if they actually do exist.

There is also inter-species breeding for instance Humans breeding with Elves, and relationships between other species.

They traded with the Imperium and grew friendly with humans, but soon discovered that breeding with humans produced only human babies, due to the elves' genetic adaptability, while exposure to the ‘quick children’ caused the elves to quicken themselves. For the first time, elves began to age and die.

http://dragonage.wikia.com/wiki/Elves

Iin the Origins story aka your Origins Dwarf/Elf could have a relationship with the various Love interests within the game Zevran/Alistair/Lelliana/Morrigan.

Dragon Age 2 has given us further examples of this in Feynriel a half human half elven character.

We know from Hawkes own family that magic is and can be hereditary with Hawkes father passing the magic-gene so to speak onto Bethany.

Is it therefore possible that Sandal could be a cross between a Dwarf and an Elf retaining his Dwarven looks whilst carrying the Elven magical-gene?

It also begs the question if that is possible why it has not happened in other instances, or is Sandal a one off rarity?

We know he was abandoned in the Deep Roads, an unwanted child. Elves have worked alongside Dwarves before as the witch hunt DLC showed us when our party ventures to the Cadash Thaig with Finn & Ariane as party members.

Ok my heads spinning now, just putting the theory out there… screw it, Sandal is the maker -.-!

Sandal is a Prophet and Simply put he can Create Enchantments the Ogre was Enchanted Regardless of what he said because he gave you a frost rune perhaps he just didn't do it on purpose and if Lyrium gives powers to Templars why not too Surface dwarfs too perhaps Lyrium drove Sandal to be the way he is but also gave him the power to Enchant i think people are looking to deep into this Sandal thing
