I'm wondering it there is a thread that is sort of an collection of all the gods(elven+forgotten, old and the Maker, if I'm not mistaken that's that) and their descriptions. Maybe that's how we could notice some similarities and figure some **** out.
You're kinda looking at that thread. but here is a quick list of the gods we know
Ancient Tevinter-Creator
Ancient Elvehan- Elgar'nan(all father) Mythal(all mother) Falon'din, Adruil, sylaise, June, Ghilan'naan, Fen'Harel.
Ancient Elvehan also believed in a set of gods called the forgotten ones, we only know a few of their names. Geldauran, Daern'thal and Anaris.
Old God Tevinter- Dumat, Zazikel, Andoral, toth, urthemial, razikale, lusacan.
Andrastian era- The Maker.
Then you get into avvar, chasind religions but i don't know much about those religions (And don't feel like findingout
)
this makes sense, but it leaves a few questions, and heres a few conjectures on my part.
1. Corypheus and the others breached the "golden" city centuries before, did they do it the same way corypheus tried this time, via the orb? If so, it would mean that solas/fen harel and flemeth/mythal may have had something to do with the breach into the city centuries before. And why are they trying to breach back into the fade if the blight was already released.... doubt they could stuff it back in. And if not to return the blight to the fade, then still, why are they breaching the fade? (solas did give cory the orb, so im assuming they are using him)
Solas said he wanted Corypheus to power the orb. Not rip the fade open. in fact he wanted us to stop cory but he wanted us to recover the orb. so obviously he wanted to use it when it was powered.
2. The singing with the blight and controlling people and all that.... cole makes mention at the well of sorrows of everyone singing the same... or something like that. We know that the blood writing for the dalish was actually a mark for slaves in the old times, could those in power, I.E. the gods have used it to control others back in the old times? Maybe it was them speaking to the magisters and not the "old gods"
I haven't thought enough about the Blood Writing to give any opinion or argument, so forgive me.
3. For some reason, the elven gods of mythal and fen harel dont seem all that godly to me.... I mean we know the old elves are immortal, but maybe in not the way we think, maybe they are considered immortal by possessing new bodies. anyways, point being they seem more normal beings than acctual gods, leading me to believe that the elven pantheon aka their gods were actually just really powerful individuals.
Oh i've never truly believed they are gods who created the world, but more of mortal or spirits with power unlike anything the elves had seen before. But i still believe the Old Gods were in fact the Forgotten Ones and at some point Enemies of the Creators. and in my mind this revelation about Flemeth and Solas only further my belief since now we know both the Old Gods and Creators are immortal in a way, and mortal in another way.
But what makes me the most curious is "I was too weak to unlock [the orb] after my slumber" why was the dread wolf sleeping while Mythal ran around the fade until she could find a host? and what is that giant eluvian they are in front of.
I think it may connect to somewhere since when Kieran ran off we saw that the Eluvian can actually send you to entire different dimensions, be it the fade or that in between world.
