Another thought I had....why must it be the Divine? The Divine is an elected position, which does not convey any known spiritual abilities (such as becoming a glowing figure in the Fade capable of endowing people with Veil-tearing magic).

 

It's most likely Andraste, who is suspected of having been a powerful mage. It could also be a powerful and benevolent spirit.

I posted this in another thread. It could be a desire demon in a different form from what we've seen before messing with the Inquisitors head. This of course is only my speculation. I have no proof to back this up

I don't think the Inquisitor starts the game as someone endowed with the ability to survive a magical explosion that sunders the very fabric of reality... ;)

I suspect the Breach causes all sorts of strange occurrences in the immediate area of the blast.

It's an ancient Elf whose body died and is in the Fade in the state of Uthenara.

The Inquisitor doesn't actually "survive" the Breach, though. More accurately, as Cassandra puts it, he or she "escaped the blast that killed thousands."

 

The Inquisitor literally avoided the explosion, it seems, as if pulled into the Fade by something (Andraste? A spirit? A Dreamer? Flemeth? Morrigan?) before the Breach even occurred.

It's an ancient dwarf (they were taller back then) whose body died is in the Fade completely randomly.

 

:mellow:  I can do crazy theories too.

Dude, how is my theory crazier than saying it's Andraste or the Divine? At least mine is grounded in established lore.

 

Uthenera

 

Uthenera (literally "long sleep" or "endless dream") is a slumber-like state which elders of the ancient elves voluntary entered when they became weary of life and memories. While their bodies would remain in the mortal realm, their spirits would cross the Veil and wander the shifting paths of the Beyond, accompanied by two children of Mythal - Falon'Din and his twin brother Dirthamen This state did not necessarily equal death, as some would return after centuries of sleep and share the secrets of dreams with the People. Yet many would never wake up: their bodies would deteriorate and they would in fact die.
 
The Dalish claim that in the time of Elvhenan uthenera was viewed as an act of reverence. An elder would retire to a chamber that was one part bed and one part tomb and, to great ceremony from all the extended family, would succumb to slumber. The family would continue to visit the chamber to pay respect to the one who made such a sacrifice. The Brecilian Ruins in Ferelden and the Sundermount in the Vimmark Mountains are notable sites where elven elders came to sleep.
 

 

With the arrival of humans the practice of uthenera began to fade until it ceased forever after the fall of Arlathan.
 
Some elves in uthenera were able to reach "perfection" and draw sustenence from the Fade rather than dying in their sleep. It is possible that some still live, and retain some amount of control over the world of dreams. Elves in uthenera were tended by servants to prevent discomfort from waking them, and who bathed them in scented oils to provide them the spark of wisdom on their journey. Sacred herbs were thrown onto a "eternal fire" in the sleeping chambers (also sometimes doubling as burial chambers) of the Dreamers to guide them to the Beyond.
 
An elf who had perfected themselves no longer required the potion of water, honey and herbs used to keep mages alive during uthenera (this was determined by brushing the potion on the lips at the full moon and determining at the new moon if it had been imbibed or not). Such elves were moved into beds of pure white, signifying their achievement.

Hopefully it's not a "Flemeth in glowy disguise helping the hero again" theme.  Considering she was worried about the blight imagine how she must feel about this situation.

Uthenera

 

If you actually buy into what a dude who lied the entire book spoke of on the process anyway.

 

Beyond that, such a spirit would have been the target of every demon in the fade, every greater pride demon in existence would have been crawling out of the wood work to get into an actual dreamer..

Noted, I never said the process wasn't confirmed, just that a good deal of the lore surrounding it comes from a hardly trust worthy source.

She's featureless! All you can make out are two glowing eyes.

You just lack imagination.

I don't see how it can be Justinia. The Fade isn't the afterlife. Dead people don't go there.

It could be Andraste, because she lived so long ago and is so shrouded in legend that we don't know what she truly is.

It could perhaps be a spirit taking the form of Justinia.

Dead people do pass through the Fade on their way to wherever they go, apparently, though.

 

I personally hope it's Andraste, though.

If Justinia dies from the Breach (which I thought was confirmed), how is she able to appear in the same realm as the Inquisitor?

I thought that was when the inquisitor first got his/her powers.

The Enemy of Thedas trailer suggests that the Inquisitor is already in the Fade while thousands of people die in the explosion caused by the Breach.

 

While there, the Inquisitor touches the hand of something incredibly powerful and then gains the ability to close and open tears in the Veil.

I agree with Ashe, it's Divine Justinia. Maybe Andranste but more so Justinia.

I think people are giving the Divine too much importance because of a silly hat which keep reminding me of this one silly hat:

While the Fade isn't the afterlife, it's a belief common in both Dalish and Andrastian religions that all souls travel through the winding paths of the Fade to reach their respective afterlifes, with Falon'Din guiding the former and Andraste protecting the latter so they don't get lost.

It is wrong that my male brain didn't even notice the silly hat and initally read the topic title as how my brain first registered her;

 

"Who is that Glowing Boob Lady?"

 

:lol:

Probably Andraste.

While she did seem dressed like the divine, I dont see how the divine would become a spirit like that and grant such power.

I wasn't looking at her eyes.


Doesn't take much to impress you guys. "You look vaguely feminine! Let's do it!" :P

Someone should start a romance thread and discuss the possibilities of a quickie in the Fade while the world crumbles.

Maybe it's Andraste. Maybe Andraste was a dreamer who gained immense power in the Fade after her sad and brutal death. Hopefully in some way not at all Maker related.

 

As long as she or it doesn't reference the Maker as in: "The Maker has sent me forth to grant you great power!" then i'll be able to tolerate the whole thing.

 

I'd rather it be an Uthenara elf though. Shed some light on elven history/lore and give another race the spotlight for a change instead of more "humans made the world" nonsense.
