On the other hand, ancient Tevinter routinely practicted human sacrifices in their worship of the old gods. If we assume they spoke the truth when claiming that they could talk with the dragons, then it follows that, at the very least, approve of human sacrifices.

Not something humans would consider to be good.

Hot fuzz....awesome movie. Dumat approves +10

I think Corypheus would disagree.

Corypheus is a mortal, and taint twisted. His opinion is of little consequence.

He's an example of what happens to people who listens to Falkor's and Mushu's shady cousin.

Heresy.

Lord Dumat we greet this new day and ask for your grace and power be our guide. The times are rife with chaos and it is a chaos that only by embracing your golden light can we change.

Dumat lord of life and death, god of dragons, god of men, silence itself I beseech thee for thy strength and purity. May your divinty continue to bless the faithful, and your wrath scourge the unholy and wretched from Thedas. Great heresy is abound as many of your temples now offer worship to a false god.

My lord let loose chaos and flame, they will be followed by the unity of chains. Beauty will return and the mystery will herald in the peace brought by night. May the lives and blood of the profligates infesting this world be purified by your golden light.

Praise to you Dumat! Praise to all the gods!

Before I forget - some copypasta from the Tevinter support thread: 

 

The new slave convert's prayer to Andoral:

 

And now I know my place

for Andoral hath reached me here

By spell or steel

the borders of tevinter spread on command of the unifier;

this mighty puppeteer

[lordsaren101]

The gods approve of your devotion. They reward the faithful. Andoral has always favored his servants and never abandoned us, despite many abandoned him.

* a domed roof gives way in the center for a circular opening shining the moons light down upon a golden altar. The antechamber is large and ornate, the marble is black with gold trim. A large statue of a majestic draconic figure cast in gold looms behind the altar casting its shadow. Flames from golden braziers around the chamber cast their light as the flames flicker brilliantly.*

*A large procession of hooded priests enters the temple. Amongst them are many prominent magisters. They gather in a circle around the altar. A high priest, draped in black hooded robes trimmed with gold and runes steps forward. His hood drawn, and face covered with a golden metal mask resembling a skull.*

*The high priest begins to chant in ancient tevene, the other magisters begin to chant as well. As they chant the flames in the braziers seem to leap higher with each word*

*The magisters finish their chanting, and four step forward each with a golden idol. The gently place the idols on the altar and genuflect as they rejoin the crowd. The high priest steps forward, flames reflecting on his mask.*

*The high priest outstretches his arms towards the altar and giant statue before speaking*

Lord Dumat! God of gods, master of all that is divine and golden, we are your humble servants and we offer these gifts unto you. We have heard your voice, and we have answered you.

We are your children and you our loving father. Dumat golden god your majesty and might are unrivaled in all of creation. Your love is power to the faithful it is the everlasting peace and silence that your holiness and divinity provides.

Mighty Tevinter, and much of Thedas hath abandoned thee. Betrayers, profligates and heretics abound. Your love and your glory are our future and salvation. Your return is nigh. I hear your voice as I dream. You will show us the path to the golden land.

I offer you a gift of flesh and blood. The blood of an unholy non believer! * the priest gestures to the the crowd of worshippers*

*several hooded acolytes drag a woman towards the altar, her clothing bares the symbol of southern chantry, she writhes and struggles and curses at her captors* Filthy Tevinter heathens! Unhand me! In the name of the maker I command.... *her voice trails off as she stares into her face reflected in the golden skull mask of the high priest.*

Welcome...sister, welcome to the Temple of Dumat. *fear wells up in the chantry mother* Maker and Andraste help me! *the high priest stares coldly at her, a sneer forming beneath his mask* Maker? Yes, pray to your maker and what is it you hear woman? Silence. This is the temple of Dumat! Your false god does not hear you, nor does the blasphemous Andraste. Fear not Dumat hears you. In fact Dumat is sympathetic to your plight and is about to save you.

*she stares wide eyed and terrified* w w what are you going to do? *he brandishes a golden dagger in his right hand as he grabs the revered mother and bends her face first over the altar, pressing the blade to her throat* Im going to free you from your mortal shell so that Dumat can liberate and cleanse your soul. Your errors and arrogance will be laid bare as the golden god passes his judgement.

*before she can speak the worshippers begin chanting again as the high priest slices her thoat open, her blood pouring over the altar and running onto the marble floor. It begins pooling itself and gathering at the feet of the giant golden dragon statue.*

Mighty Dumat! Let this arrogant profligates blood be a gift and sign of our devotion. Her soul is yours! May this blood sacrifice be testament to your eternal power and grace.

*The golden statue begins to glow a bright golden light. The blood from the dead woman begins to bubble and smoke before turning gold in color.*

Lord Dumat has accepted this gift, and favors his faithful! *the congregation all bows in deep awe and prayer*

[raging_monkey]

*cringes in disturbment* well that was interesting.. * walks back to office*

[lordsaren101]

The darkness of night blankets the land. Lusacan comes while we dream. His whispers sing soothingly in our ears. His might and glory drive us towards a golden dawn.

[Uccio]

Praise to you Dumat! Praise to all the gods!

 

*pulls hood back and looks around the room*

 

Now where is the wine?

There are barrels of it back in the magisterium.

1)Dumat the dragon of Silence indeed, because the Maker shut his mouth

2) Zazikale the dragon of chaos indeed, because the Maker imprisoned him before he can realize anything.

3)Toth the dragon of fire indeed; because the Maker made a beautiful barbeque for all his children.

4) Andorhal the dragon of the chains indeed, because the Maker had  bound  him  so well that it seemed a christmas gift for the darkspawn

5) Urthemiel the dragon of beauty................ really? He needs a good dentist i think.

6) razikale waits in terror his turn

7)Lusacan waits in terror his/her turn

... The Old Gods are the bad guys in every dragon age game and canon book... Maker: 9, Dumat:0

[lordsaren101]

And the maker still doesnt exist. Dumat laughs at you.

[lordsaren101]

The maker is the greatest joke in thedan history. Dumat is eternal.

[lordsaren101]

And the maker still doesnt exist, minus all points from the board. Maker forfits due to nonexistence. Dumat wins, flawless victory.

You cannot stop me, James, for what's done is done.

My service is sealed in blood.

Unlike you, the old ones are worthy.

Loyal.

And the villagers on my doorstep, that was you, I know.

Coward.

You think it means something that people support you?

Ha!

You should have faced me down yourself; not let fools, women, and children fight your battles for you.

I cross the border tonight, but I will forget nothing you've done.

Lusacan leads me to the ancient house of the dragon gods - and there I'll wait.

Come and find me when you're man enough.

do it we love Rpers

[lordsaren101]

We have a pretty good RP going on in the Imperium thread, you should come on down!! Minrathous is beautiful this time of year....and also Dumat.

[Monochrome Wench]

Dumat can even grant Hawke a blessing in Legacy by placing the sacrifices at the Alter of Dumat. He's still around. The wardens were wrong when they thought they could destroy him! I don't see no Maker granting no blessing to Hawke.

((Neat! I've been ignoring the "... Support Thread"s up to this point but I didn't know they were RP threads now! Very cool, go on with your old-god worshipping selves.))
