Sounds pretty awesome, even if it was just a regular dream. Have you read Asunder? Your dream kinda reminds me of the meeting Lambert holds with all the Knight Commanders about annulling the Nevarran Accord.
You could always use it for fanfic, if you dabble with that sort of thing? Definitely sounds like it's worth expanding upon!
I haven't read Asunder, though I know the details of it. It's actually entirely possible my dream was influenced more by Final Fantasy XII, which I've been replaying recently. Don't know why, but I get the feeling that Gabranth and Cullen are similar in a few ways.
I don't get much time for fanfic these days. I had been planning on detailing Xanthos Aeducan's journey from Noble Prince to Exile to King of Orzammar to Paragon during the Blight -- while leading the other Wardens from the origin stories -- but I was never able to get the next chapter to feel proper (Dalish Elf story).
Eventually, time was not something I had much of and I haven't touched it in months.
I was also hoping to do a DAII fanfic where I detail my headcanon of what Tobias Hawke did in Kirkwall, but I only got one chapter of that done.

That's not strange at all - around here, we have Cullen dreams all the time
LOL. Well it was certainly strange for me, considering I'm a pro-mage poster that's not really fond of Cullen at this point in time, due to events of DAII.
I don't hate him though, but he's certainly gonna need some awesome writing in DA3 to endear him to me after DAII's writing wasn't as well as it could've been for him.

I do really appreciate that you see Cullen's badassery
Yeah, it was a combination of various things. His guilt over the DAII Annulment going through without sufficient opposition when the Mages were innocent of Anders' act, the armor he was wearing, the words he said, and just his manner of addressing the problem.

So, of all the places we're going to visit in Thedas (everyone remember the map from last year's NYCC?), which country do you think Cullen would be most fascinated with?
I'd say Tevinter, if only to witness firsthand how society there functions. Specifically with Mages in power, the Templars reduced to little more then normal soldiers who can't do their job properly, and to study the vast amounts of lore the Magisters hold on the arcane so as to better understand how he can take that knowledge and apply it to defending both the Mages and the non-Mages.
