Maybe

Spoiler

The Scaled Ones are those large lizard people whose painting we see Emerald Graves and other Ancient Elvhen locations?

[Bayonet Hipshot]

Does anyone have any idea about 

Spoiler

The scaled ones from the forgotten war codex? They seemed more than darkspawn to me.

 

I believe that they are...

 

Spoiler

Creatures created by Ghilan'nain and the pre-cursor or even the early Kossith. Experimentation on them, most likely involving magic and dragon blood, turned them into Qunari. Recall that Ghilan'nain spent her time creating fantastical beasts who were both savage and wonderful.

 

 

Demon corruption and Blight corruption are 2 different sources of magic, according to Avernus. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ who knows which one is right. 

 

They are different. Demon corruption is one that draws is power from the Fade or Blood. Blight corruption draws its power from the Taint. Both are different sources of magical power.

 

Right now in Thedas, we have three known sources of magical power.

 

1) Fade.

 

2) Blood - dragon blood, human blood, titan's blood.

 

3) Taint.

@laurelinvanyar Okay everyone seems to think they might be Kossith. I think they are connected somehow to the Forgotten Ones? THEY ARE DOWN THERE SOMEWHERE THEY HAVE TO BE...

Spoiler

The Scaled is is that humanoid lizard? It's really the closest one we know of.

[Bayonet Hipshot]

It is either a naturally occurring creature, perhaps a proto-Kossith or a creature created by Ghilan'nain that could also be a proto-Kossith.

 

The Ancient Elves really are responsible for lots of things aren't they ? I wonder if Fen'Harel is responsible for the creation of werewolves. His woodsman look in addition to his dreadlocks in his concept art as well as his moniker "Dread Wolf" gives me the Hircine vibes. Okay, maybe I am stretching too much with that one.

[Gwyvian]

Madrar, Gwyvian and Siha! -does magical things to summon them-

 

I'm heeere, sorry for the lengthy hiatus. Haven't been myself lately... What did I miss? 

[Bayonet Hipshot]

FOLKS !

 

TITAN is an anagram for TAINT !

 

Could this be just a coincidence or something MOAR ?

Spoiler

But the dwarf in the codex said it looked like a Tevinter human, Ghil wouldn't be around at the same time as Tevinter surely?

I wonder if blood is more of a medium on which magic is worked, instead of an actual source? Both the blight and the fade feed on all types of blood (except for dragon blood, which is somehow taint-resistant?)

Spoiler

Okay, then they are naturally occurring creatures, proto-Kossiths who were experimented on by The Vints. Corypheus says that the Qunari were a mistake to the Qunquisitor in the final fight.

 

A mistake due to the ancient magisters probably.

Spoiler

The dwarf is just referring to the body type being humanoid instead of resembling a dwarf or elf. 

 

The mention of Cad'Halash puts this pre-Fall of Arlathan, but the Tevinter Imperium was around for hundreds of years before the 2 empires fought. 

 

I'm a little leery of putting all the reasons for everything on "Elves did it", but this one is plausible given what we know of FrankenGilly. 

[Moirin]

Oh? I never got that dialogue from Avernus. I hate it when the game contradicts itself.

Spoiler

The creature on the bottom, particularly the one on the right. Does anyone know what it is? Because to me it looks like a giant creature containing demonic/possessed type people inside it, onto which it's blood is falling. Slightly suspicious...

That's interesting, from the sound of them I didn't think the gods would have allowed humans to settle on thedas.

 

Between the blight, flame-breathing lizard people and the breach, Dwarves have some legitimate grievances with surfacers.

[myahele]

Let's see we have Orlais siding with Snake Kings, Tevinter siding with "Moon Men" and the mosaics of the Elvhen gods looking alot like your stereotypical Alien and how

 

Spoiler

The WellSpring/ "core" of the Titan look very futuristic, like straight out of ME in terms of Architecture ...and those lyrium guns don't help any.

Perhaps Proto Thedas is similar to what we know of when 2 aliens come into contact. Seems as if Dwarves were/are native to Thedas and have always been Hive-mind workers to their respective Titans.

???

Then comes the invavion which the enemy faction purposely put did something to Dwarves/Titans. Add in a few cataclysms here and there and we have Thedas

http://dragonage.wik...vinter_Imperium

The earliest humans (neromenians) showed up over 1000 years before the First Blight. The Tevinter Empire was founded about 1000 years before as well. Solas talks about the city buried under volcanic ash called Barindur, which was one of those kingdoms that existed alongside Elvhenan. It seems only dwarves and elves are native to Thedas. 

 

Spoiler

What I don't understand is why those lizard people are underground at all? I know dragons sometimes nest underground, but...?

When I 1st saw that I thought it was a Giant Halla that was carrying (tainted) elves inside it 

[The Oracle]

Dammit, all these spoilers and I'm not reading them cause I'm so annoyed at the ONE mod that I use being utterly b*ggered by this DLC. I should really just get over it and go play the damn game that I bought, but I'm in one of those moods today where getting anything less than my way is making me a stubborn grump.

 

This is my current facial expression...

 

[Bayonet Hipshot]

I just thought of something...Bioware should release the Solas DLC on Easter...and call it...The Egg Hunt...

 

[BoscoBread]

It's...not great.  Like the lore is super interesting but seriously, you could watch some videos and get the same thing.  The DLC is actually a bit of a slog to get through and I found the story - aside from the lore dump - to be a bit 'meh'.  The companions don't say much that's revelatory.    I'm sort of happy that BW will possibly announce the one everyone has all been waiting for - hopefully - the final DLC that is POST GAME soon because this was just...disappointing.

Yeah I agree, I enjoyed it more than JoH, but that's not saying much lol.

 

Not worth 12 quid imo.

I actually really liked JoH, but then again, I'm a sucker for lore and I've always wanted to pal around with the Avvar.  Dwarves...less so.  But I think I should play before the temptation to click spoiler tags becomes nigh-overwhelming 

[The Oracle]

I really just want to find out how close my own predictions/deductions on the Dwarves/Lyrium/Magic link is to what's been newly revealed in the DLC. while I could just watch it on youtube, i've already bought it and I'm not one to let other people unwrap my presents. Anyhoo, I'll most likely hit it tomorrow and then I'll be on here, trawling through the spoiler threads (when I've not got screaming nephews on my tail, that is).

[laurelinvanyar]

So here's a picture of the Primeval Thaig from DA2

Spoiler

That Thaig is definitely a blighted Titan. Look at the red veins.

[Uirebhiril]

That final battle...  

 

Well, it was an interesting DLC. I think I liked JoH more, but this one had its moments. The seamless dungeon thing seemed to work well too.

 

But but... WTH?

Spoiler

I'm wondering the same thing as an above poster - was the primeval thaig some kind of titan thing too? What does this mean for red lyrium? Or for the supposed Andruil "hunting in the void" speculation? Arrgh. The end seemed so abrupt, and then you couldn't go back to explore or talk to Valta or anything. Who does the Inquisitor have to turn to so they can learn something around here??

 

So now there's that many more answers we'll have to hope for in whatever upcoming post-game DLC/future games.
