Corypheus quite clearly possesses of Janeka or Larius at the end of Legacy. Besides demons, who have we met with the ability to possess people? Flemeth. Flemeth also happens to be another powerful mage. Flemeth also wants to free an Old God from the taint, one of the Old Gods worshipped by the magisters. 

Also, why would Flemeth make her home so close to Ostagar of all places? I
think she may have been familiar with the place, possibly having lived
there while it was still a Trevinter outpost. Furthermore, she may have
known that an Old God was near there so it would one day be the center
of a Blight, giving her ready access to any hero attempting to slay said
Archdemon, a necessary component in her plan to free one from the
taint.

Finally, freeing an Old God from the taint is not too far off from what the Architect was planning to do in The Calling.

Now we know some of Flemeth's backstory in the legend (and Morrigan's tale) about how she was a beautiful maiden who killed the lord of Highever after a love affair and ran off to live in the Wilds. However, Morrigan says that Flemeth is not truly human, and it is quite clear that she is more than just another abomination. Thus, I suspect that after Flemeth ran off, she encountered one of the magisters-turned-darkspawn and was possessed by it, creating the being we now know as Flemeth.


Thoughts?

An interesting theory. I don't know that I would have thought of Flemeth as being possessed - she seems too near-omnipotent. Would be quite the twist though.

I'm inclined to think that she predates the darkspawn (there may be something that says otherwise, in which case, I'll say she is pretty darn old) and that if there is any truth to the tale of her love scorned, it may not have been a so cut and dry. Perhaps it was another magical being. Or perhaps she fell for a lowly human.

She seems to be something akin to a god incarnate - maybe a demigod, maybe an avatar of a god. I think she has some precognitive powers, or is able to scrye the future and thus makes her 'home' near Ostagar because she knows that is where grand events will take place. All the easier to move the pieces on the chessboard when you're in close proximity.

I think you mean omniscience? Omniscience is knowing everything (and really knowing everything, not just being a teenager), omnipotent is unlimited power. If omnipotent, one could wipe out the darkspawn with a thought, and then make Qunari horns pink with the next. ... Damn, now I wish she was omnipotent, I want to see the Barbie-flavor Arishok.

... Where was I going with this? Oh, right, the magister thing. The tainted magisters' powers are vast, but I think they have the opposite of Flemeth's power. They don't know anything. Both the Architect and Corypheus are like two massive rivers of bad ideas and confusion.

I meant omnipotent (but had added the "near" to provide some limitation). Though omniscience holds true for her as well.

Flemeth's hut was just in the wilds. It happened to appear close to Ostagar. But that is because if she moved even further south she'd start to head towards the frozen regions of the wilds. At best you can consider her hut as a location that needed to appear in walking distance for the characters. Remember that the plot has you going into the Wilds in the day and by the time you return to camp it is the evening.

There is nothing to say an Old God was even near Ostagar in the first place. As you may have noticed the Deep Roads are vast and it's where that entire horde came from. They own majority of the Deep Roads. I also don't recall the Architect saying where he came across Urthemiel as well. The Old God could have very well been below Aeonar for all we know.
