and?

[MisterJB]

I feel that I've missed something. Again. Was some secret about Arlathan revealed in The Masked Empire?

 

Spoiler

Yep, they enslaved other elves. And their nobility acted much like the orlesian one.

I'm all giddy.

I should wait to get a copy of the book, but... Can anyone give me more details? This is fascinating stuff! I find the Dalish culture fascinating, but always had the suspicion that the elves idealizing too much their old, lost story could bite them back, especially since they don't have all the data. And as the forums point out, when you don't have all the data you tend to idealize those you like and demonize those you don't like

and?

 

I'll give you a piggyback ride.

I wonder if Lobs are planning Exalted March on Edmonton right now. Poor fellow, but he had to know how evil BW can be.

I wouldn't be surprised.

I wonder if that human ghost in the Brecilian forest ruins in DAO was a slave of the Arlathan Empire?

This is Felassan to Briala: "We were everyone. There were no humans, no dwarves, no race but the elves . Every atrocity you seek to avenge for your broken people in their alienages, elven nobles committed upon elven servants.”

 

Also this

 

Spoiler

Felassan makes a point of comparing Orlesian society with how Arlathan was like, back in the day. “It was not the Golden City. It was not the peaceful afterlife of this Maker the humans have made for themselves. Take the richest district of Val Royeaux, and tell me how many fools are scheming against each other at every ball?"

Wait, which ghost?

staph that lol

[AllThatJazz]

You mean where the majority of Elves are villains? Because if so, not that I know of.

 

Terry Pratchett's elves in the Discworld novels are a nasty bunch iirc, with very few (if any?) exceptions. Cruel, capricious, vicious, have to be kept in their own realm at all costs or things will not go well for the world etc. Of course, they aren't featured in many of the books. But still, definitely villains.

I wonder if there would be Elven civil war if all the elves knew about this

piggyback rides at dawn and ghost slaves, I gotta stop taking naps

Thanks!

 

Of course, it makes sense. And another reason why Dalish and City Elves would have many problems to stand each other.

Spoiler

Among the Dalish? Doubt it. They'd probably rather stick to what Felassan calls "overly romantic Dalish folktales.”

 

[TheCreeper]

So the Dalish are and have always been as morally grey as the rest of Thedas, okay.

No, because the human's oppression atm outweighs the stories of the past by a large margin.

[SgtSteel91]

So about the Celen vs Gaspard, which one supports reconquering Fereldan?

[Hellion Rex]

Definitely Gaspard.

But what if, as hinted in DA2, the great gathering of the clans occur in DA:I? And, as typical in a game, it has life-changing decisions for the elves? Not a civil war (after all that's been said, humans are still the common enemy) but maybe a turning point in the way they deal with their history and their traditions.

 

So the Dalish are and have always been as morally grey as the rest of Thedas, okay.

 

The Dalish were already grey. It's more about Arlathan being a crappy feudal state like everybody else in Thedas, not some kind of elven paradise. Like Tevinter is not a mage paradise.

[SgtSteel91]

Definitely Gaspard.

 

Thanks!

 

Either my Ferelden Inquisitor is going to have to convince him to not do that if she sides with him or she's siding with Celen

 

*Salutes Ferelden Flag*

[Divine Justinia V]

Definitely Gaspard.

 

imo Gaspard would be a tyrant
