I was thinking about the Primeval Thaig ...and something makes no sense.
We can see in DA2 , how dwarves are affected by the lyrium idol.
Varric and Batrand just turn insane pretty quickly , way more quickly than humans for example.
So why would dwarves keep in their home , something that drives them absolutely bonkers...?
They were keeping an idol which features human/elvhen like creatures , they worshipped Gods...there is elvhen item all over the place.
One thing though is clearly related to dwarves :Golems.
In DA:O , we met the spirit of an arcane warrior in a gem.
I think the elves created the first golems , they put their soul in some rocks so they could guard that idol unaffected , in a place where no one could find it , deep below the ground.
Over time though the magic of the idol was too powerful and turn them to flesh :Dwarves.
Some of the dwarves managed to flee and sealed the place , leaving others to turn crazy .
I'm sure there is some plot holes , but hey...
For more crazy theory going on , I tend to think the Lyrium idol was used in a ritual to create the veil , and trapping gods.
The dwarves being" born" after that they have no natural connexion to the fade .
The origin of dwarves?

The lyrium idol is corrupted and charged with red lyrium, not blue. I don't think that anyone is immune from that. As for Meredith being corrupted, the red lyrium was fused into her sword, and I'm not sure when she actually got her hands on it. Also, she was rather brutal and irrational all throughout the game, so when you have someone that's corrupt to begin with, it's difficult to determine the exact point when she was made even more corrupt by some external source.
The Elves never had golems - at least not based on any of the Dragon Age literature. The souls of very old elves were placed into special gems, but these souls still had their free will, and were not forced into rocky or metalic bodies to fight as slave warriors. Personally, I'd rather just go off to the afterlife than live forever inside of a gem, but that's just me.
What I really wonder about is how the ancient Elves of Arlathan were immortal. Were all of them immortal, or just their leaders? Also, how were they immortal? Did they use blood magic? If that's the case, then their government might not have been much different than that of the Tevinter Imperium, where the leaders sacrificed the lives of their underlings in order to work their blood magic. That would explain why the Elves of Arlathan didn't fight back when the Imperium invaded, since they were slaves to begin with and didn't see much of a difference between having Elven masters and Human masters. I'm just speculating here.
