Another addition to Rivain.

Most of its territory is situated on the coast line. That makes them sea dwelling
people and we know that they have pirates in their ranks.

For Tevinter several posters (Begemotka f.e.) already made some contributions for this thread. deuce985 wants to see Tevinter so............

Here are some suggestions of mine:


http://t3.gstatic.co...Fc77FfP6tyf the house of a Tevinter magister Hermit doing all kinds of 
                                                                                             questionable things that need attending to by our hero Posted Image

http://t1.gstatic.co...W1qJ3ZIZCS0X3iL
Gaudi Cathedral in Barcelona, perfect Tevinter material.............................


http://t0.gstatic.co...V14mm-t-bG3Hfei
Tevinter magister garden                                  Hallway
http://t0.gstatic.co...Q20R37ifJF8 and of course some mean looking gargoyles Posted Image

http://t2.gstatic.co...G9HmpgAIjrMwF-g

A completely other style which would fit Tevinter I think is this (Begemotka did it before me also):

http://t1.gstatic.co...LnUl6G_IXo0G84A

http://t0.gstatic.co...BhyPlbUiMynpE5o
                                                                             creepy cave for blood rituals Posted Image

@Das Tentakel : I have to say,your last batch of Nevarra pictures are,for what it is worth,my favourite.:wub:
Those are amazing - and so fitting - at least to how I imagined Nevarra anyway.
Especially the one you imagined for the...khmm...khmm...pious dragonslayer clan,and the two pics above that.
Then the lakes and those interieur shots...yay!

Not to mention the captions regarding stinky Orlesian cheeses and those friendly Nevarran gentlemen with their sharp pointy objects and warm,welcoming smiles... I am easily amused,if you could not tell:lol:

Seriously,I could totally imagine Nevarra with a similar terrain,architecture,atmosphere and citizens.

@Sjpelkessjpeler : Oooooh,PIRATES! Brilliant....I so want to descend into those pirate caves with only torches as a light source (there could be a magic ward or something so no Gandalf tricks ),free the living cargo,and find all sorts of pirate paraphernalia. Not necessarily these,but they would be fun,nevertheless - especially if enchanted :

@sjpelkessjpeler : *puts on a pointy Tevinter hat*  *tips pointy Tevinter hat* - WOW! :wizard:

That is,my liege,unbelievably haunting - especially the magister`s base of operations and the tower silhouettes!
I would imagine those would be darkened / twisted, completely out of shape.
And of course,gargoyles and underground ritual caves - great find,thank you! Those are a must for any self-respecting corrupt Tevinter magisterB)

And the Sagrada Familia...never thought of that before,but now that I see it...methinks it is a perfect fit for Tevinter,but again,twist it ever so little to be really unholy:devil:

I am thinking of printing out this thread.Seriously.You guys are amazing.Even if all of this is useless,just letting our imaginations run loose,it is worth it<3

Well, if we're going further into the subject matter of Rivaini pirates...

It's Dragon Age. Rivaini pirates do not have pet parrots, they have pet miniature dragons.

Fluffy ones, and when they get older - but not much bigger - their fur will get psychedelic colours...

@Das Tentakel : you are impossible,you know that?  =] I laughed so hard at the thought of psychedelic coloured mini-dragons that...there is no comparison:lol: I even imagined spotty ones,like those ooooh so shiny pantaloons.
Seriously,what is THAT on his shoulder?

Fascinating ideas, everyone! I don't think they could go wrong with pretty much any location that thrived any number of centuries ago. Pre-Victorian England would be one suitable example. The DA-verse carries quite a bit of similarity to that, I find.

Sjpelkessjpeler,those are wonderful! Oh my,I would die for such inspired architecture in DA3.:wub:
They would not need to make it overly detailed,but if they could recreate the atmosphere...that is why I posted those Thief pictures back then.That game had quite a minimalist and somewhat repetitive design,and yet,it felt so...unique.
So immersive.
I will post a couple of pictures I have primarily chosen for the creepy atmosphere-if they could recreate the feel of these,I would not give a damn about polygons.(They did quite a good job with the DAO elven ruins,though.)
I did not snip your pics because I thought seeing those right above mine could give you a better image as to how the Sagrada Familia would look if it were a bit "darker" B)

I've always thought the Gaudi cathedral gorgeous inside and out. It would make a fascinating setting...these are breathtaking images!

@WardenWade thanx for the compliment Posted Image.

@Begemotka, yes darker like the pictures you posted. This would add to the feel of the dark magic that goes on in Tevinter and the building needs to 'breathe' that. Great finds! Posted Image

Antiva, the land of the crows and Zevran.

How will it look like? This is what Wiki has to say about it:

The country enjoys a warm north-eastern climate. Much of Antiva is coastline, thus facilitating their seafaring nature. Five of their major cities are port cities, including the Antivan capital, Antiva City.

North eastern? As in Turkey, Jordan, Saudi Arabia?
But there are also swamps and the Arlathan forest. A lot of diversity. This would mean deserts, rocks, swamps and forests.

This is how the dryer parts could look like:

Hmmm...it is such an interesting idea!:o
Val Royeaux could be like that,I suppose,with the slums part run down (obviously).
Wow,the contrast could be so jarring:whistle:. (Again,obviously lol - I am so Captain Obvious today:lol:)

I found two more imaginative concepts from another amazing artist.These are from illustrator Mike Sekowski - he is a concept artist for Ready At Dawn Studios.

The first one is so spot on for how I imagined the Tellari swamps...the second one could pass for somewhere in Antiva,
I guess,but perhaps more fitting for Orlais.

And there are swamps with high vegetations like these pictures show:

@sjpelkessjpeler : I like  "them melancholy places",great finds (again;)).
Especially the third one.I could imagine something like that one somewhere around Ayesleigh,where Garahel showed Andoral who is boss<_<  

Actually,the area around Ayesleigh could look a bit like the Dead Marshes from LOTR : 

"Dreary and wearisome. Cold, clammy winter still held sway in this forsaken country. The only green was the scum of livid weed on the dark greasy surfaces of the sullen waters. Dead grasses and rotting reeds loomed up in the mists like ragged shadows of long forgotten summers."

—Passage of the Marshes, The Two Towers

I love this thread! Soooo many amazing pictures and photos!

Here are some castles and stuff that I found on google that would look pretty cool in DA3, even if it was only shown in cinematics as you approach the area it would still be awesome:

Perhaps some darker, more sinister environments like this would feel even more poignant after spending such a large chunk of the game in rich, colourful areas.
