He is the most Simple (mentally speaking) character in gaming, and yet he is a favorite of so many. It wouldn't be Dragon Age without Sandal. Unlike every other Dwarf in existence he seems to be able to use magic. While this is not shown, in DAII he froze an Ogre solid and said "Not enchantment."

 

Everyone around him thinks he is a simple lad who knows how to enchant weapons and armor, but what is he really and what will he be like in DAI. All we do know about the future of Sandal is that the Queen of Orlias has requested that he become her personal enchanter.

 

Personally I think he is somehow a survivor from the Primeval Dwarves that would have existed in a Primeval Thaig, like the one that Hawk uncovered,

 

Then again he could be the cast out Maker for all I know lol

Sandal, the Hodor of Dragon Age.

 

I don't think Sandal's simple, I just think he uses all his mind's bandwidth for enchanting, just like Hodor uses all the space reserved for language for managing his massive 15 incher.

[Enigmatick]

Is Sandal an adult by DA:I? I'm not sure what timeline is like.

[Zenbry]

Come on. Sandal is the Maker. We all know it's true. 

 

In all seriousness though, if he is not in DA:I I will be truly shocked.

[myahele]

I wouldn't be too surprised if he is possessed by a spirit. He was abandoned and left to die. A spirit took pity and due to complications of him being a dwarf his mind was damaged.

[Wolfen09]

if he is the maker, then a lot of people in the world screwed up the message he sent...  i mean how can you get "spread the word of the chantry to all the corners of the world," from "ENCHANTMENT?"

[n7stormrunner]

Sandal romance or gtfo.

 

 

Actually not sure about his age so depending on that I might need to take what I said back

 

no! sandel x dagna!

 

and I'm fairly sure as far age goes he's legal.

He's just socially awkward.

[aTigerslunch]

I thought the old lady was Hawkes mother..... oops.

[Ibn_Shisha]

I've always preferred to believe he's an avatar of the Stone.

[Shark17676]

No, thanks.  I hate Sandal.  He's creepy and annoying.  If he's in Inquisition, I hope there's an option to avoid him completely and get my enchantments some other way.

That is an interesting theory considering they were following the Warden. It would have allowed Flemeth to keep tabs on Morrigan, who she of course had plans for. 

[Jawzzus]

It also would of meant she has been Sandal for a long time, long enough for Bodhan to find him and raise him as his own and everything

[phantomrachie]

I'm conflicted about Sandal, on the one hand I would LOVE to know all about him and know how he dealt with the Ogres.

 

'Not enchantment'

 

On the other hand I LOVE the fact that he is a mystery and I think an explanation might spoil his awesomeness  

[Braag]

Sandal as party member. Do it.

You always run into him while he's standing next to a pile of demon or darkspawn corpses. Have him in your party and there's nothing that can stop you.

And Bodahn, seeing him near the end of DA2 old and worried about Sandal's future was so sad He better not die yet.

[ianvillan]

I would like to see Sandal have a Hulk moment, like if someone kills Bodahn, Sandal just flips out and unleashes an earth shattering display of magic that would make even Flemeth pause.

 

I also don't want Sandal to be fully explained just left as a mystery to who he is.

What if Sandal is another Old God Baby? For there to be a known ritual for it, and for Morrigan to be so sure of it's success, it has to have been done before. Flemeth was the one who taught it to Morrigan so Flemeth would likely have been involved. Maybe the "The Scary Old Lady" is Flemeth checking in on her creation?

But wouldn't that make him MUCH older? The fourth blight happened so long ago people thought there wouldn't be another one.

 

Unless Flemeth sought out and killed one of the remaining arch-daemons before they could cause a blight, which I don't think is likely since she needed the Warden's help to kill Urthemiel

[Jawzzus]

They wouldn't of been an archdemon anyways, they don't become archdemons until the darkspawn find them and the taint corrupts them.  Unless she was there right when one was found and could kill it before it became strong.   I read somewhere, not sure if it was here or on wiki, that said Sandal's mom was Flemeth due to the creepy woman comment he says, not saying thats confirmed, just saying I know I read it somewhere.

[aTigerslunch]

Flemeth knows to kill an Arch Demon required a Grey Warden. Reason she saved the Warden in first place besides felling an Ogre.  Apperently only extreme few can pull off that stunt.

[Falcon084]

What if he has been possessed by a spirit though some sort of experiment a Dwarf was doing into bringing magic into the Dwarven race. It would be plausible that the Dwarves would want to try and get Dwarven Mages.

Simple minded, I reckon hes simple like a fox, and hes really a genius.

Here is a Sandal Bodahn that always has me thinking:

 

Sandal - "One day the magic will come back. All of it. Everyone will be just like they were. The shadows will part, and the skies will open wide."

Bodahn - "Huh. What's this?"

Sandal - "When he rises, everyone will see."

Bodahn - "By the ancestors, what's gotten into you, my boy?"

Sandal - "Enchantment?"

Bodahn - "Hmph. That's more like it"
