Found this link from the Abelas thread: apparently if you drink from the Well, you get some extra Codex entries that clarify the ancient elven writing.

 

http://yaranyarai.tu...e-to-drink-from

 

I have to say, the descriptions in Elgar'nan and Andruil's entries definitely ping some Lovecraftian vibes for me.  Especially Elgar'nan.  "Shifting, shadowy mass with blazing eyes, whose form may be one or many?"  *shudders*

 

Also, who are those who cast Mythal down?  Abelas says that the humans had nothing to do with the fall of Arlathan, and Fen'Harel didn't murder her.  Other elves?  It seems unlikely that it would be other members of the elven pantheon; maybe it was some sort of external threat.

 

Ugh, these clues.  Those writers.  My head hurts.

 

I love stuff like this.  But yeah, it makes the head spin...  When it comes to what exactly the elven gods are, I've been so far content to assume they're what I thought they might be even before the game: some sort of god-kings, just regular elves of such power and prestige that they'd been raised to god status in their culture.  For the most part, what we've seen seems to support that...  But there's one thing in the game that made me wonder.  After the encounter with Flemythal, when you speak to Morrigan, she says that she also believed that the elven gods were simply god-kings, but after the Mythal revelation, she believes they're something more than that.  Of course, Morrigan could be wrong, she's often been wrong before, but it leaves that nagging doubt.  And these updated codexes just add to the wonder of it.  Are the elven gods something more than just the elven versions of Paragons?  What does that mean, for both the Creators and for the elves?  And what does that mean for Solas?

 

And I wonder if Mythal was murdered before or after the assumed rebellion of Fen'Harel.  Did he act in part because of what was done to her, or was it somehow a response to the unrest that occurred...

My Solas Theory was referenced in this Kotaku article ^__^

I saw it and posted a link here!

He takes it really well. Except the sad puppy shuffle he does as he walks away.

And his face... he is broken

Out of curiosity: Has anyone tried playing through the temple to the final battle without having THAT conversation with a romanced Solas? It doesn't seem to trigger unless you go to him to talk. So I wonder what happens to the ending, if anything, if you skip it.

 

 

Not that doing so to avoid heartbreak would ever occur to me. Honest. I'm asking on behalf of a 'friend.'

[kalasaurus]

Hmm I think once I record more clips, I'll make a Solas/Lavellan music video with "Hallelujah" by Rufus Wainwright.  I must do it o.o

Do you mean what he says before he skips town?  I haven't tried it, but I'd guess it goes back to what he says to a friend, "I respect you deeply", since the relationship will not "lock in" until after his break up 

[Friera]

I remember someone here posted their Inq on this thread. Can someone tell me who it was? I tried to recreate him in my character creator, but it was impossible...

Hmm. Good point. I forgot about the relationship not locking before that point. *shakes fist at Bioware on general principle*

I don't think we ever got a chart, unless I missed it.  I remember we were told there was going to be an official chart, back before the game came out, but heard nothing since.

Ah, okay.  No bother, I'm sure someone around here knows it.

They're a guess but here's a link to a vallaslin thread. 

[zambixi]

 

I don't have the link anymore but I downloaded the chart. I didn't make either of these.

Here are the charts for easy reference. Dirthamen and Mythal are switched on the top one.

Sorry! I've been at work overnight for a couple nights (no PC access) and with the rate this thread moves at I missed it. Thank you

Someone a few pages back mentioned the "Claws of Dumat" note you get in the Fade, and if anyone is interested you can read it here. I posted it pages back, but things tend to get a little lost with how quickly this thread moves.

 

http://dragonage.wik..._Claws_of_Dumat

 

Spoiler

Master unveiled a new altar. It stands higher than a man, like a great statue, and great spikes jut out from its length, hungry for blood. Master calls it "the Claw of Dumat" and says that the altar will help bring Tevinter to glory. I praised it, as was expected, and Master smiled. It was good to see him smile again. He has been fearful of late, vexed by the loss of followers. He has met with the other priests, and in secret, I have heard them discussing ways to return the people of Tevinter to the ways of the Old Gods, as is only just.

 

He spoke to me later in the day, and asked that I call him Corypheus, as it was the name he would take for himself after a ritual. Master - now Corypheus - told me that my people, the elves of old, were tied to the Fade, and that in order to carry out the will of Dumat, he would need to call upon the magic that lives in our blood.

Corypheus told me to gather all of the elven servants and bring them to the western hall of our home at midnight. That is the hall where the Claw of Dumat is now kept. There are shackles across the top of the great altar, and pools lined with runes beneath the claws.

 

I have sent my wife and children away, but have not warned the others. A few I may save. If I tried to save us all, we would only be killed in some other way, and others would die in our place.

 

Master once laughed and joked. He could be stern, but he was not a cruel man. The weakening of the temples brought fear into his heart, and that fear has changed him. The cuts upon his arms are deeper and longer where he used his blood magic more often. He speaks to his wife little. He listens only to the voices in his dreams.

 

It is almost midnight. The Claw of Dumat, great and spiked and merciless, is all my mind can see. I must gather the others. My family is safe. Corypheus will take me, but not those I love.

Does anyone know what is differrent if you get Solas' tarot card with the stalking black wolf versus the one with the white wolf? I received the one with the white wolf last playthrough, but I've seen pictures of the other one.
