I honestly wonder if the dalish would ever have a main plot in DAI.
Regardless, I doubt mages and elves will be related in the same plot. The mage-templar war and the OCW (and the hyphothetical dalish plot) will be likely separated from each other.

[The Hierophant]

Poor Merrill, she was doomed to failure regardless. She could beg Briala for the passphrase but the latter might be wary of any Dalish trying to use the network.

I'm thinking that it's more a City elf plot. Felassan did say that were few Dalish still even living within the Dales.

Now that we know what eluvians are capable of, I don't think I'd like a Merrill and Briala team up. Good intentions or no, I do not believe mixing blood magic with working eluvians would be smart.

I'm hopeful that the elven Inquisitor will be able to meet Dalish in the Dales. There was some artwork that depicted a clan in what appears to be the Dales, given the recent pictures of the kingdom.

You didn't ask for strategies. You asked a pretty open question, and only now are you narrowing down what, specifically, you're asking for in a retort. However, we're on two completely opposing sides to this, so aside from genuine curiosity, I don't see either one of us changing our stance on how we want to proceed on this issue.

When I asked for how pro-elves were planning to create an independent elve state, I was hoping for some realistic strategies.

Not just hoping that the game will allow you to unite your factions of choice and have the Inquisition help them.

Some suggestions on how to use the Eluvians to actually achieve some results benefitial to the elves would have been wonderful.

I think that the Briala plot, related to the OCW, will be more about CE that dalish, be there might be another elven plot, who knows.
If there's not a dalish plot, I wonder why they choose the elven PC to be dalish and not CE.

I don't see how that's the case. Merrill built her own Eluvian. I don't see why it would be password protected, so I don't see why it was doomed to failure.

 

And after the demise of Marethari, Merrill can end up pursuing a number of other goals, or travelling with the Champion of Kirkwall if the two are in a romance with one another, so I don't think the Eluvian would necessarily be on the forefront of her mind. Merrill may be glad that the Eluvians are being used for the benefit of the elves.

I wouldn't mind meeting Felassan's clan, considering how he depicted the clan from novel as being somewhat...backward.

And was it this art you were referring to?

lol. Now that you say it like this, it sounds like a potential disaster on the level of the magisters breaching the GC.

Oh, good point. Lob, isn't there supposed to be some big meeting of the Dalish soon?

I know about the concept. Though meeting dalish doesn't mean that there'd be a dalish plot in DAI.
There's still the possibility of the Arlathven, but I'm not sure about it.

[Hellion Rex]

Heck, maybe that is indeed how the magisters broke in, mixing blood magic with the teleportation capabilities of the eluvians.

[EmissaryofLies]

I imagine many of them, particularly the less experienced, will take behavioral cues from their leaders.  So you'll have those who use their power with forethought and moderation, and you'll have those that follow Adrian's "friendly fire and property damage for everyone!" approach.

 

Sure. But they'll likely be a minority, at least to the extent of emulating an Adrian or even a Janders. 

 

You'll have war crimes and massacres on both sides, bloodied hands all around. Of this, there is no doubt. 

 

It remains to be seen whether they'll blow up the Chantry or "kill anyone to set mages free" as a majority force, however. 

[The Elder King]

The Arlathven, yes. It was foreshadowed in Da2.

Yes, it is. Gracias. It looks reminiscent of the pictures of the Exalted Plains.

The Arlathvhen may be taking place now, since it was mentioned previously that the clans would be gathering in the Dales.

[The Hierophant]

With the reveal of the eluvian network, anyone else thinking it's about that time for Lightspawn to be introduced? Mind you, it's doubtful the Shadowspawn will appear as they're too busy trying to survive Rand al'Thor's onslaught in the Wheel of Time verse.

Considering that the elven Inquisitor is one of the People, I view a Dalish storyline as a possibility, especially if there's a strong likelihood that we may meet the clans for the Arlathvhen.

Or they may wisely decide to hold it somewhere a little less "active war zone".

[Wolfen09]

when you say part of the game is taking place in the dales, which is literally crawling with dalish, it is kind of hard not to have a dalish story in here

[The Elder King]

It's possible, yes. But before TME (where we didn't know the outcome of the book) I was more sure about a dalish plot being present in DAI.
The Arlathvhen was hinted, and as I said, I don't see why they would choose the dalish and not the CE for try PC if there didn't a dalish plot. But the Arlathven might not be related with the OCW. It might be related to that concept about Arlathan.

[The Elder King]

The Dales isn't crawling with dalish as far as we know. A gathering of the clans was hined, but we don't know if it'll happen in DAI.
Unless I missed a TME spoiler, in this case I apologize.

Would they hold that so close to Orlais, though? Or does it traditionally take place in the Dales?

I don't recall the place is fixed. I'll find the info.

[MisterJB]

I doubt Briala will be an ally. She stated her plans are to prolong the conflict so as to give the elves time.

It just so happens we have been told the Inquisition's purpose is to restore order. Maybe the reason they didn't give us an option to play as an CE is because Briala will be one of the Agents of Chaos.

Wouldn't that be a sight?
