I think the red ring is the Inquisition ring. It's glowy and seems the most important so maybe it's a symbol of the Inquisitor.

Also I'm not sure if the thumb ring represents anything. It's not visible so it may just be there because it looks cool or something.


I don't think they put it for fashion. In the case it doesn't indicate the Wardens, it might indicate a faction they don't want to reveal yet.

All I see in those rings are Templars, Seekers, The Circle and Inquisitors.
Probably the main groups of this game that our guy has to deal with.


There is at least another ring (in the image with sword is clear); besides, the red ring doesn't seem to have the classical Inquisition symbol, though it isn't very clear with the red light. 
I guess we'll have to wait and see.

I don't think this is the same Inquisitor order:
The original ones became templars and we still have a Templar ring there, so there are chaces that the Templars have not been disolved, making the new inquistors a completely new faction.

Also, that's the only ring that attracts attention, making the group which belongs is the most important and since both the title and the protagonist have ties with the Inquisitors, it's very proable that the ring in question is from them.

Ps: The fifth ring might be the Wardens, haven't see it before :lol:.
I think it's hidden because they are getting slaughtered and therefore they don't have a weight as big as the others (or aren't part of the problem).

It's an interesting theory, but the choice of the same name, and a similar purpose (the former one's goal was to make Order in the chaos, which is similar to what the new one will do) doesn't lead me to believe that the symbol will necessarily change. 
Anyway, it's true that the red ring stands among the others. I hope we'll know sono what the rings mean.

I hope not. Thedas needs the Wardens. 
If there's a reason for the hiding, it might be because it rapresents a new faction they're not ready to show.

Still, I dunno, I agree with the idea that those could be any of the PC backgrounds ('cept for the red ring), so he could be an ex-warden or maybe the last ring is from a noble house (Implying the existence of a noble background like DA:O).

The helmet also bears the dragon insignia - one can only surmise the owner follows the dragon... whom many have interpreted to be Flemeth, although I wonder if it is the embodiment of the 'old God' Morrigan gave birth to. Then again, we don't know what Flemeth really is, certainly she has been the chess-master over the last couple of games; she 'saved' the Thedas Wardens and thus ended the blight, and altered the balance of power in Kirkwall so that neither Merdith nor Orsino would win that war; but whether her motives are to destroy or protect the world, I guess we are left to wonder. She does appear to have a direct link to the 'Fade', so the question is, was she manipulating the situation to lead the DA world towards the abyss, or was she aware the abyss was inevitable and simply trying to balance the scales of power so that no single power emerged, and by destroying the other factions, made the job of the 'demons' easier. If the latter is the case, perhaps the job of the PC is to unite these Factions, including the Qunari, before the **** really hits the fan. Only problem with this idea is it was done in Mass Effect 3. All speculation of course, and fun for what it is; also wonder, are Morrigan and Flemeth on opposing sides? In Irish folklore Morrigan (Great Queen, for anybody interested in translations) was the goddess of battle, troubled times, and sovereignty. Don't know if Bioware know that, but Morrigan, in Irish folklore, brings about 'correct' battles with a poem; it is her job to ensure a cleansing battle is brought about to end times of trouble.


I think you're right.

The inquisition may have been created by flemeth back in the day.
Chaos everywhere , the veil is about to tear up.
She found some people , manipulate them , made them drink dragon blood so they're strong enough to stop this.

The whole Alistair story with the dragon blood heritage may be a way to introduce our pc ...maybe his/her incestors were inquisitors , you have "dragon blood" you're "called" to recreate the order.(i know a bit skyrim llike^^)

I think Morrigan wants the veil to open up ,she probably think (for some reasons) that things will be way way worse if not.
Maybe something to do with the blight , and killing all archdemons .

This is the Inquisition symbol, it's on DAI official t-shirts and on Cassandra's and her underlings armors in the trailer which we know are in game assets...

There is nothing on that dude, with all the dragon symbolisms, that link him to the Inquisition. Which is why I suspect that he represent the "agents of chaos" and not the PC. The rings would be the "infected" factions. It wouldn't be the first time BioWare use an antagonist in their promoting material...

A nouble background is possible, though it shoud be integrated with some experience on the field.

@azarhal, I completely forgot that they shown already the Inquisition logo in their t-shirts (though in the trailer I'm fairly sure Cassandra has the Seeker logo, not sure about her men).
About the character in the site being the antagonist, I don't think there are enough reason for believing that. Maybe the Inquisition is related to Flemeth or Morrigan. We don't have info about it.

I didn't think he represented the PC either. Something about holding out the helmet made me think of him more as a NPC that you would meet in the very beginning

Wait... There are official DAI t-shirts?! Why nobody has told me that before?!!

Anyway, I won't argue about the shirt. Still, do you have a pic of Cassandra? I think you are confusing the Seekers symbol with the Inquisitors... If that's not the case, looks like someone has changed sides.

On the other hands, I dunno if that guy is an antagonist, he is a hooded figure similar to the one from the trailer. Maybe our friend has a dark past and regretted his actions at some point of the conflict, similar to Revan, but with less amnesia and lies.

I lean more towards the idea that they represent the factions we will be dealing with, but it could certainly represent our background choices.

It's not the Seeker logo, well not the one in DA2. Cassandra is wearing a variation of this armor concept art (the one on the right). The symbol have straighter lines than any seeker/inquisition symbol and the eye iris seems to have been added on, but you can clearly see the sword going all the way down. Her men have the proper sword through sunburst/eye symbol on their plate (click image for larger size). Also, Seeker symbol for comparison.

It seems a bit different from the one on the t-shirts, with the red eye lacking. Considering te fact that the PC is supposed to lead the Inquisition, and Cassandra being faithful to the Divine, I'd say for now that it's more likely for now that Cassandra is still a Seeker.

edit: yeah, the symbol on her men is more similar to the Inquisition. I'll hold any thought after the info will be released.

They may have change the Inquisition symbols because It looked too much like the Seekers and templars one.And it was too complicated for a ring.
On the T shirt there is a red dot , we still have the red thing going on .

I don't think the backgrounds will be class-specific. For example a Mage can't have a Templar background, and a Warrior can't have a circle background.

I think background will be more something like: Noble, Commoner, Grey Warden, Orlesian Military, Seeker. (Can Mages be in the Orlesian Military and the Seekers pre-DA:I?)

They can't.
Anyway, I believe that the background will be class-specific. It'd be stupid for a mage to not have a background from the Circle.

Well that sucks :unsure:
I manage to tell difference easily.

Suspicious/leery eye = Inquisition 
Open/Full eye= Seekers

I had a idea close to the theory of the OP, I also think it would be cool if you choose a starting faction (background), and that determines where you start the game and which allies and party members you start with. For example, you pick Templar and start with Cullen and yourself, it affects how other factions react to you too, say the Mages are harder to get on your side but the seekers a little easier. and the same time you may start with the Wardens and you get the Warden guy they showed in the survey, and maybe no one is keen on your side right away but also no one is openly against you either. Where as you pick being a Teventer Magistar, maybe the Mages are easy to get on your side but the Templar are very hard...

Just an idea I have.

I figured that red ring is some motto for apostate mages or blood mages or something. Not specifically Tevinter.
