Alright I don't know  if this has been asked before but I'm sure it was. We all know that there has to be a GW present when an archdemon dies or it travels to the next daskpawn. Now when that would happen what happens to the darkspawn? Does it like shap**** in to a nasty dragon or does it simpy remain in humanoid form?

I think it would be really cool if the archdemon could exist in some type of a humanoid form it would be like an incredibly powerfull darkspawn or something which would probably be diffrent from the others. I would imagine it as somethin looking along the lines of Melkor or Sauron from LOTR. I know it's a crappy theme overused in many places but it just fits this game too.

It would be awesome to fight something like that  and I just cant belive if an old god was ever slain by non grey wardens it would just jump to next darkspawn and mutate in to a dragon looking thing.

This probly is not the right forum but cant post in Dragon age origins forum if anyone can repost that there it's cool I want to get most input on htis I can since I think many people might find this interesting.

There is also only 2 old gods left in DA so there can be also speculation for the end of darkspawn for DA3, I assume the grey warden would realize by now they should seek the old gods them selves when there is no blight raging so maybe they can take them out before it starts. I'm sure as hell the hero of ferelden could pull that of.:wizard:

We're never really told, but I imagine they learned about it from trial and error with the first Archdemon, Dumat.

I'm guessing they figure it's too risky, since they can sense darkspawn and darkspawn can sense them, they'd lead the darkspawn right to the archdemon and if they don't kill it themselves or get overwhelmed, GJ starting another blight.

Or maybe there's some more complicated reason...

Odds are what would happen is the darkspawn may stay the way it is. But it would still be able to command it's forces. This would be a theory anyway. The true danger of an Archdemon is the destructive force that follows in it's wake. Just as a huge dragon lets face it, they are much harder to kill. Just be happy they aren't massively giant spiders. Would be reading cries about that for months.

A colossal spider? Heh, if Flemeth is ever a Big Bad, I should think we could expect a few nasty shapeshifted forms...

As for the archdemon, I always figured it did shapeshift into a dragon again, yeah. Becoming a Sauron-like entity instead would be interesting.

I'm pretty sure it must have happened a couple time because most people don't really know that a grey warden is necessary. Loghain for example had no idea so if his little campaign was to succeed they would have a rude awakening when it would just reborn after killing it. Anybody gave any though why it's called a demon? What does it have to do with demons>? I thought that demons can't posses dark-spawn and even than we find demonic ichor on their corpses.

As for it changing in to a dragon again lets say: after lets say it jumps to a body of a nearby hurlock emissary for example don't really make much sense. I think that an arch demon could be anything really, it just takes a very powerful being, looks like the old god dragons were the most suitable targets to be corrupted than but maybe there are other creatures of great might that could be corrupted and serve as vessels for an arch demon.

While we're on the topic of Darkspawn and Grey Wardens, I have a feeling the thing that Avernus discovered was a way to refine the Joining to not kill anyone but allow people to take in the powers the Taint holds.


That's primarily what his research was about in Warden's Keep.

It would be awesome if his research would maybe someday provide a cure for the wardens or use the taint more effectively. It looks like his reserach potion made it to kirkwall for some reason and Havke drank it, maybe it was more than just 3 extra attribute points?

As this thread already veered of far from what it started with let me throw out another thing to ponder. Correct me if I might be wrong I have not read any dragon age books but I know they have some stuff explaining the architect, for a while now I had my own theory that the architect might have actually been a grey warden who turned to a ghoul. It might have been a grey warden mage who just never died from the taint it just transformed him completely. Of course the architect does not know, he think he was born this way but he might have actually changed in to what he is now and he does not remember the life he had before. That makes sense to me because he looks just so much different from other dark-spawn.

The importance of Avernus' research is why my Warden kept him alive and told him to continue his research. I'm curious about what breakthroughs he's uncovered with the taint. His letter gives the impression that he's making a breakthrough.

The Architect says he was born that way (like you said), and although he looks dramatically different in the book The Calling (and even loses his hand) there's nothing to contradict his claim in the novel. I think he would have been like Utha if he was actually a Grey Warden ghoul.

What do you think the alarming find he was trying to tell the first warden about in dark epiphany is?

well either what I said, which should be something that the First Warden would need to hear. Or maybe a cure to the Calling?

Alarming generally implies something bad, why would he call a cure for the calling alarming?
