What can I say? I have a big number of questions. That's part of Thedas' appeal for me. The ME universe had only one big mystery, and it was solved in a somewhat haphazard manner. In contrast, the DA universe abounds with bigger and smaller mysteries. I love it. I hope some of them are answered in DAI, but I also hope some of them are kept for later games to be answered.

 

Some of the most intriguing:
 

*What is the nature of Flemeth. If she once was human, is there a way to follow her path?

*What is Morrigan's old god child supposed to accomplish? What does it add to a human to have an old god's essence?

*What is the origin of the qunari (the race). Are there others like them there?

*What is the Black City? What exactly happened when the old magisters tried to get there?

*Who is behind the Veil tears?

 

Though.....I hope the writers have the answers and just refuse to give them to us now. ME was a good example of what happens if you fail to have an answer to the questions asked by the story early enough to avoid introducing conflicting elements.

When the Imperium occupied the area that is present-day Ferelden, they had two sites dedicated to magical experimentation ....snip

 Cool, thanks. That's really interesting, it would kind of explain why nobody seems to live there or at least why they don't put it on a map. I know I wouldn't want to live on the island they keep all the mages that might be crazy and are at the very least pissed off. I also got a copy of World of Thedas and it actually had a lot more information than I thought it would. Most of my questions were answered at least in part.

 

 They actually tell you a great deal about how the nations on Thedas formed, and what the ecological effects of the blights have done to the countries near the desolation. (Mainly agriculture in the north is pretty weak due to little viable farm land and in fact without trade from the free marches and Ferelden they would barely be able to support their population.) I'm still not sure I buy that the griffons went extinct. Though I suppose it's possible their natural habitat was destroyed by the blights. I still think there must be some out there.

The griffons were native to the Wandering Hills and the northern reaches of the Hunterhorn Mountains. They were fierce predators, but certain groups among the Orth managed to forge alliances with the creatures. Some of these folk later joined the Grey Wardens and taught their new brothers how to ride griffons in battle. The griffon trainers had a bond with their griffons and both knew what they wanted from their relationship. For the griffon that meant grooming.^[2]

The Wardens experimented with relocating griffons' eyries, but no chicks ever survived.^[3] The Blights devastated the eyries and the griffons slowly died off, finally becoming extinct during the Storm Age. Rumors occasionally surface of them surviving in some remote area, but have always come to naught.

The griffons' fur and plumage varied from charcoal black to brilliant white, with most bearing grey hues. Many Grey Wardens believe that it was this coloration that inspired their order's name. The Griffon Rampant remains the symbol of the Grey Wardens to this day, and griffon iconography appears on many Grey Warden artifacts.^[3] The High Constable, the second-in-command to the First Warden, was the aerial commander during the time of the griffons.^[4]
