This is heresy of the greatest kind!

is it my mage brother? Is it not tevinter ideal to allow these beliefs. Naivity is what made our country great. Perhaps we should here them out... if only put of fairness

[Keroko]

Such naive mages,,,,,,, the panacea that is Tevinter, to go along with it's rampant use of blood magic, it's condonment of slaves and that fact that most garden variety mages will be Fenris like slaves to some powerful mage like Denarius.

 

At least we Tevinter are honest about calling our slaves what they are. Unlike the rest of Thedas, which either brainwashes people into servitude and calls it equality or happily calls an entire race 'free' while they life no better than our slaves.

Exactly. Besides what's wrong with blood magic?

In itself, Not much. The use some mages do with it is problematic though.

Blood magic is vilified in the south by inferior worms that fear what they are to weak to understand or control.

Responsible Blood Magic

Let me correct you, apprentice. While it is true that blood magic is woven through the history of Tevinter, there are good reasons, quite aside from the Chantry's sermons, that such arts are now frowned upon. Consider the ancient magisters who once attempted to map the Fade itself. A worthy goal, perhaps, but a costly one. When their spells exhausted their lyrium supply, the magisters spilled the blood of countless slaves. To what end? The shifting nature of the Fade made the effort futile, and so much death left the magisters open to possession by demons. Wasteful!

 

Some still idolize Tirena of the Rock, who used blood magic against the Qunari during the Steel Age. They say she cut her flesh on the shore of Marnas Pell as the dreadnoughts sailed in, turned her spells against their crews, and boiled the very blood in their veins. A terrifying display, to be sure, but against Qunari? It only made them more determined when they besieged the ports of Carastes.

 

And what of Magister Calanthus, that fool who believed he could make himself the "Ascended Man" with blood magic? Thirty-three slaves died in that rite, and Calanthus became an abomination so horrific that his apprentices tore out their eyes at the sight of him.

 

You quote the example of the lovers Crescens and Seraphinian. Yes, Seraphinian offered his own blood to cure Crescens of her wasting disease, and Crescens lived a long life. But if the noblest use of blood magic still calls for the death of a good man, is that not enough reason to reconsider?

 

-Letter from Magister Aesthia to her apprentice, 7:71 Storm (WoT, p. 109)

 

 

 

Blood Magic is unnecessary. It is for fools or the desperate. Tevinter has no need for it. It may be good to know of it and how it works, but an experienced mage should have no need to resort to it.

Relevence is that it looks like Tevinter has large scorpions that people can ride. Look at the picture in the background.

Was it the Maker or was it the ancient elves? Dun dun dunnnn, the evil of the ancient elves knows no bounds!

[RobRam10]

Scorpions evil? Nonsense! This now makes Tevinter more badass than it is! War elephants and now Scorpion mounts! The great jewel of Thedas continues to amaze me.

the scorpian has no purpose in nature...they should be squashed on sight... camel spiders too*shudders* i might have to kill a few

*sees scorpian and throws a fireball at it roasting it* there see all is safe

[Daerog]

Ya, you have a point there raging_monkey.

 

Tevinter should breed giant bats instead. Not to ride, just to have as pets or attack animals against the Qunari. Maybe magically enhance them in a way to make them more like gargoyles... giant bat creatures that can grab Qunari and drop them from the sky, attack their cannon operators, attack their naval crews, carry firebombs...

 

edit: We should also see if the ghasts can be used for the glory of Tevinter.

Camel spiders make me sad.

call me monkey raging is a misnomer lol
And serious i agree with the avian creatures. But ghasts are stupid and have no combat potential... maybe the mage ones but the mundane ones... good eating at best lol

Camel spiders make me sad.

why they are abomination. I feel the same about them that pro-templar extremist feel about magi. Shoot them on site who knows what disease they carry and the injures they can cause

[Daerog]

Grey Wardens have/had griffons, Orlesians have their wyverns, what does Tevinter have to compete with that? I mean, it's Tevinter!

 

Maybe there were Tevinter heroes of old who were able to ride or tame drakes? Maybe even ride a high dragon?

 

Maybe mix some sort of bat creature with ghasts, make some kind of gargoyle thing. Something that looks like those baby vampires in Van Helsing, maybe? Swarm the enemies of Tevinter!

 

Edit: Maybe something more elegant... hippogriff? Nah...

the hell is a hippogriff? Sounds like a mix betwenn a griffin and hippo lol.

Oh maybe a created creature a beast of alchemy

[Master Warder Z_]

Camel spiders are by their nature very shy. Them attacking people is near unheard of.

They live in overheated hellholes and enjoy shade.

They are odd looking but they can't help it.

Now that you mention it, there probably are some strange beasts in Tevinter.  I was thinking something along the lines of manticores... in case anyone is unfamiliar with these creatures:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manticore
