Dat black blood.

[MisterJB]

I fully support releasing this blood magic plague in Seheron.

Who wouldn't?

I really wish discovering the eggs had been a DAO DLC.

The Warden deserved to be the one to do it. The griffons were last seen during the Fourth Blight and they would return at the time of the Fifth.

If they were fully grown, it certainly would have made Riordan's job of grounding the archdemon easier.

We need to learn more. I want Avernus doing at least 50% more science.

 

I suggest we move the venue to Rivain. More bodies to meet higher demand, and chance to test blood magic (and the Taint) on Qunari physiology. People won't miss them or their converts... Less questions. Better that way. 

I liked that this novel drove home how damn powerful and corrupting it can be.

It definitely reinforced my distaste for Blood Magic, that's for sure.  Poor Griffons.

Só, wouldn't a population of only 13 lead to some severely debilitating inbreeding if they are planning to repopulate the species?

[Solaria]

Finally got one after searching like mad, it has been a pain trying to find it.

This book seems like a long "see how awesome mages are"

 

I'm not seeing the problem.

[SomberXIII]

I would love a tragic moment. I really cried at the end of Asunder (You know what I mean). On the other hand, I don't want my favorite persons to (---).

Not if bred correctly. The author has stated that she was thinking of the modern example of the Norwegian lundehund as justification for the potential survival of the species despite a tight bottleneck.

Wait the rat dogs are back?

Why!

-.-

[Br3admax]

Somehow I doubt anyone who cares will breed them correctly.

That was what I figured when I read it.  The wonders of artificial selection.  Though it will probably be a few decades before there's a useful population of Griffons.

Why not? The wiki says that they may be useful for finding birds and bird eggs in airports to preventing bird strikes.

What happened to the griffons is a tragedy. Just finished reading it and the fate of the griffons brought me to tears. And I can't wait to see how the ending is followed up in the games whether its DAI or the next.

[MisterJB]

It's strange that some people say it was: "Totally worth it."

 

No - it was disgusting and a horrible example of total disregard for a species to the point of driving it to extinction.

 

I considered the Warden's questionable - at best - before, now I think they're kinda filthy.  

Let's not forget that the Wardens didn't make a conscious choice to sacrifice the entire Griffon species. They were only putting the elderly and the infirm through the Joining which is not that different from choosing dwarves from the Warrior caste who had been maimed or simply aged and making golems out of them so the Darkspawn could be stopped.

 

No one could have really predicted the Joining would become contagious. And without the Joined Griffons, Andoral would have assuredly won that final battle.

Which, BTW, only illustrates how badass the Wardens of the Fifth Blight were. Isseya once remarks how 5 griffons and ten Wardens are not enough to kill an Archdemon but we only had three Wardens and no griffons.

 

Which is why, by the time the Sixth Blight comes around, the Wardens will know better than to expose the entire population to the Joined Griffons.

Because there is no way they won't make more of them when the need becomes great enough.

[Ihatebadgames]

People that say no they wouldn't join the Griffons (well, like me) aren't at the tail end of a HUNDRED year war against the Darkspawn, that humans,elves and everyone have been losing.

[TheKomandorShepard]

Who cares about griffons they were tools to fight darkspawn and grey wardens won so they did their job now we can use them again so what is issue here?.

[MisterJB]

The Fourth Blight lasted for about 12 years.

If you are referring to the Bligths as a whole, then it is more like a thousand year war.

[TheKomandorShepard]

I wonder why humans never focused on killing darkspawn ultimately instead just waiting for next blight like "meh not my problem" and facing terrible consequences later pretty much like with mages.

[Br3admax]

There are more darkspawn than there are people willingly to fight them. I'm not sure why that's hard to understand.

Because human nature.
