I was amused when I saw August is August
But yeah, Solace/Solis, along with that village, Solas. I kind of wonder why.
Did they run out of names?
David Gaider just seeded that stuff in the lore, knowing where the series would go, and cackles evilly watching us all chase our tails in circles.
*nods sagely beneath tinfoil conspiracy hat*
Speaking of research - just peeked on DA wiki in search of names for months they have. And the name for July (month I was born in?):
1st month: Verimensis / Wintermarch (Annum: First Day)2nd month: Pluitanis / Guardian (Annum: Wintersend)3rd month: Nubulis / Drakonis4th month: Eluviesta / Cloudreach5th month: Molioris / Bloomingtide (Annum: Summerday)6th month: Ferventis / Justinian7th month: Solis / Solace8th month: Matrinalis / August (Annum: All Soul's Day)9th month: Parvulis / Kingsway10th month: Frumentum / Harvestmere11th month: Umbralis / Firstfall (Annum: Satinalia)12th month: Cassus / Haring...
Wow, the name for my birth month in the DA universe is amazing! It's ... August! I wonder if they just got bored and were like, heck with it just keep August.

I think it's supposed to catch us off-guard 
All these fantasy names and then... AUGUST! Trololololol!
edit: wasn't Andraste supposed to be named Augusta at first?

iirc August is August because at one point Andraste was going to be named Augusta or something similar.
Also Solan, keeper of Ariane's clan
My god, the research material on this thread is amazing...

It happens IRL too. Names or variations of them get reused. And after awhile they probably get tired of making new names for things lol.
Dev1: Ok, we're going to place a town here *points at map of Thedas* any idea for a name?
All other Devs: Another town? Oh FFS ... just freaking call it Solas already. We don't care! Stop making more places/things to name!

We should therefore be grateful that Skyhold wasn't named "Fade Asscheeks."
(sorry, falons. Apparently I'm twelve today)
Cuddle puddle
I think I'm the kitty in the middle who's facepalming against the light and doesn't want to wake up
Can I be the tabby on the end?
@everyone sharing feelings.

July person just like me! Good, good

Can you imagine dialogue?

Well I'm twelve today as well it seems.
...I just amused myself by wondering what if during Cory's disrupted ritual Heralds didn't accidentally grab the Orb in their left hand, but slipped and SAT on it

Hey, all we have is Morrigan and Solas's word that Tarasyl'an Telas means "the place where the sky was held back." It could very well mean "Fade Asscheeks."

Firstly ouch, but the scene from Trespasser...
Lets all be twelve...
Edit: I haven't been top for such a long time, so I'm going to post double Solases...?

Well... wolves, chasing tails in circle. It all fits don't you know!

excuse me Morrigan is an Ancient Elven Expert PHD don't you know

Solas disappearing with the Inquisitor's left asscheek... snorts.

So now we know why Solas is an ass man!

Also Solasan.
I assume Solis is the name of the month in Tevene, I kind of wonder why the name in the common language is a word that means "comfort", July is too hot to be called that :<
I also hope they use a larger pool of voice actors than they did for Skyrim. Walking into an Imperial Legion barracks and hearing 4 legionnaires all talking to each other in the same voice was a little weird. Ok, it was the same VA as Fenris but still .. it was weird. And I know BioWare also uses the same VAs for npcs in a game but they seem to have better spacing ... or at least I've never heard two people talking to each other with the exact same voice. Why yes, I am conveniently ignoring the female Trooper talking to Satele Shan in SWTOR, why do you ask?
I just want them to bring back the conversations from Oblivion.
'You! I have to tell you something very important'
'Yes, my friend?'
'Goodbye'
'Get out of my face'

Yeah I... can't stop snickering about it That would put the whole story in a whole new levels of absurdly awkward.
In this case it seems more like it's Sol in the sense of the sun. Many of the names are in the kinda Latin that is Tevene
Verimentis I don't really have a clue? Something about truth?
Pluitanis is Rainy
Nubulis is Cloudy
Eluviesta is flooding
Molioris is... kind?
Ferventis is burning
Solis is sunny
Matrinalis is motherly? Or the month to get married in?
Parvulis is something to do with childhood or being small?
Frumentum is harvest
Umbralis is shadowy
Cassus is empty/fruitless
edit: It's rather reminiscent of the French Republican Calendar.
Ubismart.
Yeah I... can't stop snickering about it
Just imagining quizzy's angry speech to the Divine Council and defiant swagger out of the room...all while missing an asscheek.
OMG I can't. Dying now
Retour en haut
