So Abelas's comment about how the Well of Myhal may be too much for 'a mortal to handle' implies that the Sentinels are still immortal. Which to me implies that Fen'harel and Mythal are definitely immortal. Flemeth aging is just that. Flemeth's mortal body aging, since Mythal is but a wisp of what she was.g

The way Solas emphasizes 'there is a place for you, lethallin,' definitely makes me think that Solas is well aware of where to find other Ancient Elvhen, even if he hasn't spoken to them in a long time. Perhaps they mingled in the Fade.

"It was they who destroyed this Temple," is interesting. So they not only took down Mythal, but also launched an assault against one of her centers of power. If they managed to kill Mythal during the assault, that's doubly impressive.

Solas's translated comment about the vallaslin. (The one he fudges on. :P ) It could just be that he's saying, "Abelas, your time in servitude is done." But isn't it something like 'The time of the vallaslin is over,"?

Like he's reassuring him, "The age of elvhen slavery is over. I made sure of that. And I'm going to end elven slavery as well. Just you watch, Mr. Thighs."

 

Wait wait, when does he mention the vallaslin to Abelas?

I can't check out smut at work, but it's on my list for lunchtime.

 

Second, Flabbadence, be nice to poor Cad.

 

Also, who the hell posted that horrible sad artwork about Solas dying in Lavellan's arms. Not okay:(

 

Third, I'm down with some theories. I made it to work today after we got 15 inches of snow yesterday but lots of people are out so I think it's going to be one of those quiet days where I'll have time to talk.

 

I don't have any great theories about immortality but! I find this topic an interesting one, so I approve.

 

Hey I'm being nice! Apparently destructive, but nice.

EDIT: My dear Flabbadence, mine is the heritage of Acadian furriers, exiled Scottish rogues, incomprehensible Welshmen, English-seducing Irishmen, stiff-necked Angles, Micmac hunters, Danish dairy farmers, and flamboyant Canadian pirates. I've been enduring my soul being destroyed for years from all the interracial conflict going on here.  :lol:

 

How do you translate "Mr. Thighs" into Elven, I wonder?

Afternoon.

 

I had a dream last night that I was watched a trailer for the DAI DLC. It involved Solas, and Flemeth aaaand a whole lot of darkness and peril for the Inquisitor. It was all very mysterious and exciting. Then I came on here to make a thread and we were all discussing it. Until I woke up and was hit with the disappointing realisation that it was all a dream.

 

DAMN IT, BRAIN.

I was reading on a forum for another EA game whose fans are anticipating content, that the EA financial year starts in April and that's usually when a lot of their content gets announced. If that's correct then maybe it'll hold true for DAI as well. I guess only time will tell, but for now? I'm watching you, April. WATCHING CLOSELY.

 

Got a text from my sister this morning asking how long The Hinterlands lasts  :lol:  had to explain that she can actually leave. Oooh The Hinterlands. It has claimed so many victims.

That's one translation. I'll try to find the one that I used as a reference. :)

So tonight I messed around with my clay for the first time in like 2 years or so to make a copy of Solas's necklace. I figured if anyone would like it it would be you guys. <3 Spoiler-ing for size / to save Liz's PC.

Quick! What happened in the DLC you dreamt about?

 

And I really hope the announcement comes sooner than April. That's three months away!  :(

 

Ah the Hinterlands. The bears, the impossible mountain I had to climb in search of freaking blankets, and that OP river rift. *sigh* I feel like a veteran going Good times that war, good times.

Ah ok, got it. That's a fair translation.

 

Additionally, I really hope Solas's saying "There is a place for you, lethallin" is him recruiting Abelas. He says "a place" not "there are places for you". He has a specific place in mind, hopefully his fortress or something. I really hope Solas isn't going at it completely alone.

For example, the way magic works in Thedas. It's mostly by tapping into the Fade right? The land of dreams, of imagination, and magic is just willing that imagination into reality. But here, it's not that simple. If you want something done, you can't just dream it up and have it manifest. You want fire, you have to rub some flint together, or get a match. I think that's primarily what I'm thinking when I say reality is different here than it is in Thedas.

 

I really think you speak of something else. Maybe you don't understand what I mean because I express myself wrong.

I am not going on about how something materializes. If you like we can assume a mage dreams it into being.

 

I mean that if the veil were not a physical barrier (as suggested by someone before) this concept would still work. A "Veil is not physical" theory could be like this:

The Fade is like an overlay to the physical world, spirits etc. are always there. Simply another dimension/layer in our space-time continuum. (Here we have Physics to throw in one of the respective theories.)

But these spirits are not able to interact, like we imagine ghosts to be mere observers who might make a bit of noise in an abandoned house but not much more. The reason being (possibly) that the physical creatures are incapable of perceiving the spirits (ghosts) around them in the first place (mental barrier a.k.a. veil), so they will not realize they are there and whatever side effects those spirits cause will be attributed to other occurrences by the ignorant physical beings ("it was just the wind"). (This is where cognitive and neuroscience say hello and take over.)

However, some creatures have a better ability of perceiving this "overlay" because their mental barrier (cognitive filter) is weaker (the veil is thinner, or say, the Force is strong in those ones). They are, hence, able to perceive the Fade, thus allowing interactions with it.

Others wish to be able to do so and use blood magic to weaken the barrier/veil deliberately in order to interact with the Fade. Other story. (And here we have magic waving its hand.)

 

As a result it does "not matter" is the veil is physical or mental, the result/effect is the same: a few people can interact with the Fade while others cannot. Only the approaches to explaining the reasons are different (one is basically "it's magic", the other being "science can explain") but it does not contradict (or express any idea at all for that matter) the notion of how Fade elements materialize in the physical world (so that also those beings with a stronger mental barrier/cognitive filter/veil can perceive them).

 

So, what I am saying is that it's basically totally unrelated to what you wrote. I think. And if you still don't see what I'm trying to express I must apologize and attribute it to my inability to express my thoughts and give up because I find no other words to wrap the concept in.

So what you're saying is that Solas is building a team of sexy bald ancient elves?

I'm game.  B)

Ok wait, let me see if I got what you said: Mages are the ones who have the ability to sense spirits because they have a sort of sixth sense if you will, while non-mages are those who just don't have the right equipment to detect the Fade. Am I getting this right?

I could actually do that maybe. I think I have mold making stuff stashed away someplace + a buttload of resin.
