Concerning taintedness.
I am pointedly not in the "untainted Old God's soul" camp because of how the transfer works.
1. If killed by a non-Warden, the archdemon's tainted Old God soul transfers to the nearest darkspawn.  The reason it does so is _because_ the darkspawn has tainted blood.
2. Wardens have deliberately taken in tainted blood, just so they get into the darkspawn "network".  Sort of puts them "on the same wavelength".  "We can see them, but they can also see us."
3. If a Grey Warden kills the archdemon, it's soul transfers to THAT Grey Warden -- because he is the nearest source of tainted blood.
4. If the Dark Ritual is performed, when the Grey Warden kills the archdemon, the soul bypasses him, any other nearby darkspawn, and instead heads straight for the fetus.
5. Since what the soul looks for during the transfer is a repository of taint, what is it about the fetus that is transmitting the homing beacon?  It MUST be the _one_ thing the Warden has (that other untainted men wouldn't have) that transfers to Morrigan during intercourse.  That is, a trace of taint that travels with the Warden's other bodily fluids.

Because it is ONLY taint that the Old God soul focuses on during transfer, it means that despite what Morrigan says, she MUST in fact have been tainted to the extent that her newly-forming fetus has become a taint repository.  And the Dark Ritual boosts the "signal" to make it a beacon for the Old God soul.

All this pretty much means that Morrigan was pointedly lying when she described what the ritual does.  And she MUST lie to the Warden, because when it comes right down to it, his #1 job objective is to kill tainted Old God souls.  If he knew that there was even a small chance that that soul would possibly get loose again, it would inevitably summon up another Blight of darkspawn.  If Morrigan told him the whole Truth, there is a near-100% probability that his answer would be "No."  So she lies convincingly and she gets what she wants.

And what could a powerful witch possibly want with a situation that would eventually give her the power to summon an entire darkspawn Blight?  And a heap more magical mojo than she had before.



The reason the archdemon soul transfers easily to a darkspawn is because a darkspawn has no soul.

When the DR is performed ..and Morrigan is impregnated by a GW,  when the GW goes to kill the archdemon, it's soul is attracted to the fetus.   The fetus is not old enough to be hurt by this transference.   Instead what happens is the tainted soul of the Archdemon ..becomes purified by the transfer...hence Morrigan describing it as untainted.

It was Morrigan and Flemeth's plan all along to do this ritual,   hence when Flemeth says to Alistair and your PC ..after the Tower of Ishal,  dramatic save..."consider this repayment for your lives".     Morrigan obviously had been coached on this ritual by Flemeth, before departing to "save the world" with your PC and Alistair.

Along the way, it seems that Morrigan learns what the true plan is, and that is...once Morrigan has done the "deed"...perhaps Flemeth was planning on taking over,  hence Morrigan's anger/shock at what the Grimoire contained, and her request to kill Flemeth..as soon as possible.  Before Flemeth has a chance to switch bodies with her, and thereby become the influence over the Old God baby.

As for earlier comments by the OP,  re: Morrigan... "beauty and love are fleeting"   she says that power and SURVIVAL are what matter.   

Morrigan is all about power and survival, although she does have vanity..and likes pretty baubles.

It is altogether possible, that the only reason she wants that Old God baby, is to do the exact thing that Flemeth has been doing for some centuries,   and then she would be immortal.    Nobody...certainly not the Chantry,   could bother her again.

Her little trip to Orlais in the epilogue..shows her hanging out at the Orlesian court..again that is all about power and influence, getting in with the "right" people.    Maybe she wants the throne of Orlais..who knows.

Only way we'll find that out...is to stay tuned. :P

Who knows where they're going to go with this. Morrigan's son/child (and again I think it will be canon she has one, I don't know if they'll make it canon that it's the main PC's) could appear in a future tale as a plot element, an adversary (I call this the "Mordred" scenario), as "us" (the main PC-protag), a companion, or something else. Maybe the next tale warps 20 years into the future with the child grown up. Or maybe old god essence unnaturally increases the aging rate.



We are, of course, intrigued as to what will happen.

I'm with you that Morrigan is all about survival- but the thing with her wanting the OGB just to become immortal, maybe but I think the other thing to keep in mind is that Flemeth may take over bodies of her daughters, but she is also apparently some kind of abomination. And if you take Morrigan into the Fade to rescue Connor, you'll see that she has no desire to become an abomination or make deals with demons like Flemeth. Maybe thats not necessary to become immortal with the OGB, but who knows...

The curious thing with her supposedly getting involved with the Court in Orlais is that while she desires power, I never figured MOrrigan to be th type that would want power to rule over people. She wants power as a means for her own survival and to maintain her own independence. Which is one reason, I'm baffled over why she would go to the court in Orlais, as that would surely draw attention to her and being an apostate and possibly bearing the OGB, wouldn't that jeopardize her survival? 

Guess we just have to wait and see...Hopefully Morrigan's story gets some resolution sooner rather than later- I know that for me, its what I'm most looking forward to in any future DA game, thats for sure.

How I see this is that Flemeth is Morrigan and Morrigan is Flemeth. The old bag just needed a way for the old body to die and got the Warden to do the dirty work for her.

On the issue with the baby. I think Flemeth is trying to make the ultimate child for her possession. A full bodied diety that she can ultimatley take over. Depending on how you look at it, Morrigan will give birth to a God, no matter how its put. A god that she even states that she wants to control and bend to her will.

Flemeth was been playing everyone like the preverbable lute since the very begining.

I think Frigian's concept also occurred to me - what if Flemeth had already possessed Morrigan - before we ever meet them - and just like the Connor abomination, the original Morrigan does not know it has been possessed since Flemeth is so much more powerful?



This would explain how "Morrigan" shows up before the end battle, regardless of previous actions, and still knows all about the ritual - Flemeth is already in Morrigan, and has been for quite some time.



This makes Flemeths remarks now make sense to me, a bit. When you show up to kill her, her comments seemed a riddle - what if killing the old body is the final act that cements the transfer, in toto, from old body to Morrigan's body? Instead of a complete takeover of her daughters, what if each "possession" creates a new union that is distinct each time? Whereas it was assumed the "takeover" was a discrete action, perhaps it is a gradual process during which both entities/souls co-exist in the younger body for some time - but the younger soul is oblivious to the cohabitation.



If Flemeth is already in Morrigan, co-existing, we would then never really know who we were talking to during various conversations - the remorseful, in-love Morrigan could be sincere, and be the true Morrigan, whereas the "lets do the ritual" conversation is Flemeth-in-charge-in-Morrigan's-body time.



Regarding the "final" battle to destroy Flemeth - consider that she single-handedly plucked two Grey Wardens from out of the middle of an entire Darkspawn horde that had just destroyed a sizable force of soldiers and Grey Wardens - yet we manage to "kill" her with just four players, of which two at most are Grey Wardens?? Instead of being just a gaming balance issue, maybe that could be a subtle clue that Flemeth wasn't really trying too hard to stay alive in that old body...because she was already present in a younger one as well.



I want to hear her dialog before that fight again, to see if it aligns with this concept....

Ultimately we can speculate a million different possibilities on Morrigan and Flemeth's motivations and how things will work out, but given how vague Flemeth and Morrigan are with just about everything they say plus given that "magic" is involved, the writers could really take this storyline just about anywhere.

I have been reading this thread and here is a new take on Morrigan based on my story.

Male Human Noble Warrior origin,

Morrigan was my love interest for the whole game and was with me in almost every fight.  Our affair was public knowledge for the group and I believe I even had the chance tell her I loved her before the final battle.

Assumptions:
Morrigan is power hungry and cares for no one but herself. 
Morrigan wants an old god baby.

Facts from my story before the baby ritual:
Aedan and Morrigan are lovers.
Morrigan could easily already be pregnant.
Morrigan does not have to do anything to get me to sleep with her. (I am cold, hold me,  smile, or just show up in my bed,  would have all worked to get me to sleep with her)
Morrigan know every choice I have made so far and should know I will turn her down.

I turn her offer down and she runs off.

Facts from then on:
I make sure I am the only warden near the Archdemon for the killing blow.
I kill the demon and die.
Epiloge Morrigan, rumored to be the lover of Aedan himself, spotted in the frostbacks possibly with child.

Ok,  now to fit motives to the facts.  If Morrigan only wanted the old god baby all she has to do is show up in my room,   Instead she shows up with deal she knows I wont agree to,  My first suspicion was that Flemeth had taken her.  If so I do the right thing with the ultimate sacrifice.

I am going to go with this ending.  Morrigan offers a deal only so that it can be turned down.  This frees her from Flemeths command,  she then flees not with an old god baby but with her and Aedans baby.  Aedan's sacrifice allows his child to live.

You could say she slept with a different warden but then she would need to have him make the killing blow.  You could say she was pregnant anyway so she still has an old god baby but then Aedan would not be dead.  Overall I think my ending fits the facts pretty good.

Yeah, I don't really get the "power hungry" Morrigan concept. She is definitely indifferent to the suffering of the weak, but never seems to want go out her way to lord over them. I imagine she rather just them disappear altogether. They are ike ants that you crush because they you happen to step on them, not because you are trying to.



What would she do with power..she would hate it as much as Allstair.professes he would hate being king.



My theory is that, somehow, the birth of the old god will fix what was broken. How Morrigan would benefit from this I can't say. It is entirely possible that she shes the restoration of the old god and the "fixing of what was broken" as a plus for her existence, even if alot of other s would benefit. We shall see.

I don't think that Morrigan/Flemeth is necessarily trying to possess an Old God. Remember, this is a god, and, for me, no human should be able to possess it. However, the Old God has been trapped, awaiting corruption, by the Maker - or at least that is what the myths tell us - and so if he is freed, will likely be pretty mad. Then Morrigan/Flemeth could be given power in exchange for helping the Old God get revenge on the Maker, which would also tie into the sequel pretty well. Personally, I would think that Morrigan would lead an army, or try to recruit the Grey Warden, into leading it. Flemeth would have had the same plan as Morrigan, except that she would possess Morrigan before the Old God was born. I am not sure what form the Old God should take, but it would either be human or that of a dragon, which would fit with the dragon outline in the Awakening box

My theory:



Morrigan is a willing party to Flemeth's plan to CO-EXIST within her body.

Flemeth probably merged with Morrigan (hidden nearby) when the Grey Warden's party killed the Flemeth dragon.

The Old God's essence similarly seeks to share a WILLING, and PREFERABLY UNTAINTED body.

Morrigan doesn't need to conceive as the Old God would be attracted by the tainted semen within her.

Hence Flemeth/Morrigan becomes truly immortal.

Just played the end-game with an IMPREGNATED Morrigan in the party.

I couldn't believe how easy it was to kill the Archdemon, and how few darkspawn showed up at  the final battle; I didn't need to summon supporting troops.

Unlike all other females are we to believe that Morrigan can get pregnant at any time of the month?  However, if Flemeth  was in league with  the Old God then the Archdemon's appearance, at an appropriate time and place, could easily be arranged; Flemeth had the ability to change into a dragon.

Flemeth WAS in league with the Old God and the already merged Flemeth/Morrigan will merge with Morrigan's child 20-30 years on!

Morrigan would not destroy the world. What is power if you have noone to control with it? Personally I hope Morrigan returns in the next game. I want my MH Mage to join her. Its clear to me she intends to take possession of her daughter with the soul of the old god in it. Anyone seen the Excorsist? Regan's soul clearly still inside her body when she's possessed. I think that the procedure detailed in the Black Grimoire would have the same results as demonic possession. And there is no proof in this game that the devs aren't looking at demonic possession the samway its portrayed in the Excorcist. In fact this scenario is the most likely outcome.

Edit: This has been my theory since my very first play through back in December.

Morrigan states that Flemeth will return. She will most likely possess another body, however. The demon inside Flemeth probably will keep recycling Flemeth's soul in other bodies. Probably part of their arrangement.

To all those "Morrigan is evil and doesnt care about the PC"-folks: Quite wrong. Read this: blog.bioware.com/2010/03/01/dragon-age-the-revelation-comic/

Someone stated that Morrigan laughed in his has when talking about the ritual, some thing along the lines "I dont care about your blight". Cant quote cause I dont remember what page it was on.
Well, you clearly didnt try to get Morrigan to like you, maybe chose dialogue options like "shut up you selfish ****" when doing "good" things instead of trying to persuade her, which resulted in her disliking you in the end. It's your fault. You strengthened her believes instead of trying to change them. If Morrigan likes/loves you she will not say such things but rather ask you to do this ritual to save you. See the link above for proof.

Semen is hardly a body :o
The old gods soul seeks the unborn child, as few cells as there may be. Going from Redcliffe to Denerim takes days, threre's nothing left of actual semen after so much time has passed. So the soul is definetly in the unborn body. On the "souls sharing body" idea, see my comment on possession below.

Part of Flemeths plan, very likely. Fighting her is nothing compared to the "normal" high dragon, which is odd due to her being an ancient powerful abomination that has the power to sit in a rocking chair while the forrest around you transforms into sylvans and tears you apart.
I dont think that Morrigan is acting by the same plan at this point though.

That hardly has anything to do with Morrigan being pregnant. Her spells just rock and so do her robes. If you had
Wynne with you in other playthroughs you cannot really be surprised that a damagedealer kills an archdemon faster than a healer :blink:

Have you played Awakening? Flemeth did not cause the blight.

So? She's an ancient shapshifter, should she stick to flying-swarm-form? A dragon is the most powerful animal (yeah, its more than "just" an animal) so its the obviuos peak of a shapeshifters abilities.

You are entitled to your opinion as anyone else but that is all it is, an individual opinion.

CultKiller wrote...

In fact, it is merely your opinion. I myself doubt there can be two souls (old god + Morrigan) in one body. A demonic possession is quite something defferent than that. In DA a demon traps his victim in the fade and controls the victims body in the mortal world through him. The demon does not actually inhabit the body, though he can transform it to his likeness.

CultKiller wrote...

Actually a funny way of putting it, I laughed. :lol: I'd rather put it this way: Flemeth and the demon formed a symbiotic relationship or even merged into one being. That's just my guess though.

Kerendar - thanks for the link. THE REVELATION certainly deserves more thought.
You may wish to know:
I have just played final battle again, with Wynne as healer. Alistair slept most of the time; I didn't bother to wake him. Morrigan, set to WAIT for ENTIRE battle, got in the way of activity at one point and fell; I wanted to leave her in this state but this seemed to anger the Archdemon; I was forced to revive her.

The Blight does NOT kill all Life. The darkspawn still continue to multiply. (Can't imagine wanting to live in the body of a darkspawn, but Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and Morrigan has already stated that she doesn't care about beauty; only power.)


I'm guessing you don't like Morrigan, and haven't followed her dialogues very closely? Because she definitely cares a lot about beauty. Her second "special" gift is a mirror. Her regular gifts are jewelry. She definitely cares about beauty--she's a bit vain, in fact.


She also says that beauty and love are fleeting and meaningless, survival and power are the only things that really matter. So she will put aside those feelings of vanity and even love to get what she wants ;) And that mirror has nothing to do with beauty, it is a childhood memory ^^

Just because beauty is fleeting, does not mean she does not care for it. Morrigans codex states:

Morrigan's critical eye is not reserved solely for others. Knowing or not, she has a simple fondness for jewelry and is very particular about
her appearance.

My personal theory is that Morrigan intends to reawaken the remaining Old Gods before the darkspawn taint them, and restore their place in the natural world. I think this presents a more dynamic conflict than her simply possessing her child and becoming some megalomaniacal conqueror or simply taking the child into hiding for the sake of preserving ancient creatures and knowledge. Awakening the remaining Old Gods ties into her disdain and rejection of the chantry's authority, her disregard for most mortals which she views as blinded and confined by society, and her respect for the natural world.

It's also a logical explanation for how cryptically she offers the ritual-- if she were going to live quietly in the woods with her super-baby, she probably wouldn't object to you dropping by occasionally. That her goal is of great consequence (she risks touching off a holy war with the chantry and even repeating the sins of the Tevinter Imperium) explains why she wouldn't trust the warden to help her. And, if her goal is to save the other old gods, it'd make sense for her to abandon the warden immediately if the ritual is refused, so she can focus on saving the last two.

I think my theory draws upon all aspects of her personality, rather than boiling them down to simply immoral or selfish. With Morrigan awakening old gods and so directly assaulting the chantry and Thedan society, she isn't just a villain: she's a force, the response to and anti-thesis of Andraste.


I agree with this, but would like to add that this makes sense in both the lore, and in how the writers would actually create DA2. As it has been previously said, I don't think that Morrigan, as a human, or even Flemeth, could possess an actual god. Furthermore,  Morrigan would not save the Old Gods just because she can, even if she does appreciate old magical traditions. She needs to get something out of her actions, especially if they involve gathering an army and fighting an archdemon. A freed Old God would be able to give her as much power as she wanted - as with the old Tevinter Imperium magisters - especially if she helps him in a possible war against the Chantry. And that Old God, after being imprisoned for hundreds of years, is not going to live quietly.

Also, a conflict between a new Old God, and possibly others, if Morrigan is able to rescue them, would definitely work for DA2. My personal hope is that you could choose your side, either with Morrigan or with the Chantry, and reuse many of the same locations-therefore less programming and more replay value. And that would make sense, as the first person Morrigan would likely ask to lead her/the Old God's army would be the hero of Fereldan, and the one who helped her free the Old God
