Im more interested in the talking darkspawn. Are they the original magisters of old? Descendants?
courtesy of the legacy dlc we know at least one was a tevinter magister.

also....

Anyone remember what old corypheus says? That the golden city was already dark when they arrived?
So they were offered power, corrupted by this darkness, and through them the taint was spread to thedas it would seem.

I wonder whoever it was behind that scheme is the big bad in inquisition or will it be a boss in a future game?
Looking forward to how this all plays out.

I think it's likely that darkspawn like Corypheus and the Architect are Magisters. Of course the Architect might have just forgotten, if he's been actually living in the world all these hundreds of years, so if he is or not may not even be something he realises. Obviously there are other sentient darkspawn created by Archie who were not Magisters, but they seemed to have relatively stunted intellectual growth.

 

I think we're all curious as to what was actually up with the Black City. Maybe it was always tainted, like some giant ball of taint someone sealed in the Fade. I mean it wouldn't be unusual for legends about a mysterious fade-city to spring up, about how it was golden and the seat of the maker and filled with untold wealth and glory (like El Dorado and other legendary cities in our own world). If something exists but nobody can reach it, it's natural that people would contact fantasies around it.

 

We may or may not find out what the Black City is, though. I assume we will (though it will be totally separate to any questions of whether the Maker is or is not real).

Wait?! they kill a character off in novel again? Oh come on!

It's a torture for us if he didn't reveal anything further than "one of our favorite characters is getting killed", and to be fair that character could be his favorite but not our favorite. I'm not the fan of the idea about killing companions off in the novel or any other media though.

Ok, there was a follow-up from that guy in the wiki forum and.....

Spoiler

Supposedly it's suppose to be Nathaniel Howe who dies in Last Flight, BUT now he's not sure - apparently he didn't get as far as people though and he got his information about Nathaniel's "death" from someone else, but that person wasn't exactly being truthful. Nathaniel does apparently appear in the novel as the commander of the main female character (Valya) and at some point in the story there's something about her needing to kill him due to whatever is controlling the Wardens (am guessing its Corypheus, but which we'll learn more of that in DA:I), but again, he did not get to any point in the book where Nathaniel is killed. As for if he actually does get killed at the end of the novel, well.... guess we'll have to read the entire thing to find that answer out

I hope he doesn't die, he's one of the top Awakening characters I want to see again

[ladyofpayne]

Please tell us about who supposed to die.

[ev76]

I hope they don't kill who they say it is (from past games) that character was a favorite. Also now I want the book even more, I need to know lol.

[ladyofpayne]

I guess they would kill person who supposed to die before DAI.

[Fearsome1]

"At least, that's what she thinks in the beginning..."

 

As a fan of the Grey Wardens, that line disturbs me.

[Xeyska]

I've searched what I could in the preview, and I even put Nathaniel's name in the search bar. Nothing came up.

 

Spoiler

The only character death that I know of in the present time is Sekah, who died from an ash wraith.

I searched the word "the" and nothing came up lol, so I wouldn't trust the search function.

[Cylan Cooper]

Huh. I thought the author specifically said that there were no characters from the game because she felt like she'd be stepping on the toes of someone else's work.

I KNEW IT! I doubt they'd just randomly kill off an Awakening character and never give them the chance for a first cameo.

He already had a cameo in DA2, so...

I also thought that. I would like to find that interview again, to be honest.

Will we meet any known characters from Dragon Age universe?


Not... exactly. I was given the chance to use a couple of them, but I feel a little weird writing a character that someone else created. I get too worried about using the wrong words in dialogue or making the character behave in ways that aren't right for that character's personality. Protecting the world's integrity is really important to me, and I have a very hard time doing justice to someone else's creation on that level.
So there are a couple of places where known characters and events are referred to or name-dropped, but you won't see any of them actually appear in speaking parts. That was my decision. I just didn't want to risk writing anything that wouldn't feel true to those characters.

You're a step faster than me (as usual!), Eluvianus.

I like that decision Give us new characters!

[AresKeith]

And not kill off other characters lol

[PlasmaCheese]

NOOOOO. I didn't read that entire spoiler, but if _____ dies.... I will sob. _____'s one of my favorite characters. ;_____;

[cindercatz]

I hope they don't die ,and if game characters die in other media, I seriously hope we get cutscenes of them in the games, not just a mention. That would make two I know of. Anywho, sounds like another book I should probably get at some point.

[Ryzaki]

...SERIOUSLY?

 

Spoiler

The one character worth a damn other than Sigrun in Awakening gets killed off? FFS

 

*upset*

 

Just...ARGH.

 

*flips tables*

[The Elder King]

It's not sure, Ryzaki. And nice avatar .

[Damate]

Man, I hope the supposed spoilers about *ThatAWESOMECharacterWhoSoBetterNotBeDead* aren't true; as seems to be the case (between dodgey sources and the authors qualms about writing canon characters)!

But I can't wait to get my hands on this book I like what I've read so far; the author seems inclined to be respectful/aware of the lore and it's about WARDENS and DARKSPAWN and GRIFFONS. What's not to love? I'm more interested in this aspect of All-That-Is-Currently-Knobs-Up-In-Thedas than mages/Templars (asunder) and elves (ME). Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed both if those novels! And particuraly loved Weekes' character, Felassan, but the lore behind Last Flight is nearer and dearer to my heart/curiosity!
