The Dalish are unique in their singular drive to learn of the past. They are more in touch with nature than anyone else in Thedas. The power they wield is unlike anything scene from the Circle. Their ability to adapt and change. They strong in their convictions. They are proud of what they once were and strive to be greater once again. No matter how far they spread, they have a brotherhood that reaches back thousands of years, and they strive to be noble in more than just name.

 

But in the end, none of that makes up for how they implement these things, and that is why they have earned my ire more than my respect.

Out of character for the people who: sat out a Blight, cursed an entire forest for centuries with werewolves, killed people for coming too close to their camps, tried to murder us because we told them the truth, and summoned a Forbidden One just to turn a mirror on? Totes out of character.

Haha, you seem to have chip on your shoulder, like the dalish now that I think about it. But yes I think it is out of character because the dalish are hostile or cautious, at the very least of outsiders. But the clans are just like big families, even the dickiest of clans in TME for example, were shown to be all harmonious with eachother and stuff like that. So i do think it is very out of character for them to just ditch their kids out in the wild.

Unless they send them to the Circle, which they won't, there is literally nothing else they can do with them It's too dangerous to keep that many mages around at once and they don't have the resources to take care of them. That simple, really.

Again I don't really buy that, they are only ever going to have 1 or 2 mages more than usual realistically, not too much of a big deal. If the dalish just gathered every 5 years rather than 10 this whole problem could be avoided.

How? It's not because they don't find a clan that needs them, they only let them die when the clans meet and no one does. Magic does not come in until near puberty. Cutting that time in half won't make clans need mages anymore than before. If anything, it encourages more deaths than before.

I never heard the part where they kicked them out after the gathering, Mineave is the only example I know off.

I thought the new bits about them putting out mage children was strange, too. A magic-inclined race who's struggling for survival and low in population already, without the same hangups about magic as the Chantry introduces, giving up some of their brightest young people? I don't think so. Seems to me an attempt to make the Circle system look better by comparison.

Now, on a different question: I haven't yet gotten all the Tyrdda Bright-Axe codexes. Seems not a coincidence that an Avvar and her "leaf-eared lover" have a daughter named Morrigan'an or however you spell it. Morrigan and Flemeth with their golden eyes, Abelas with his golden eyes... I feel like they're telling us something here. Thoughts? What have I missed?

It has nothing to do with the Circle being the better system and a lot more to do with the fact they can't handle the inevitable abomination that will eventually come. They don't have access to public funds, a semi-continent spanning organization, and a ton of lyrium. They can't handle it. The rest of Thedas can. It's about time everyone acknowledged magic is dangerous and there needs to be someone to deal with it if mages will continue to be born, and mages always will continue to be born.

That sounds boring...lets go with mayhem and destruction

Perhaps it has something to do with old magic.

I blew her up with a fireball. Good times.

I shattered her body with a claymore.

There's already a Morrigan'nan in the legend of Luthias the Dwarfson which took place in -350 Ancient while, if we accept the story Morrigan tells us as veridic, Flemeth was human around the Towers Age (as in 600 years after Morrigan'nan died).

We don't even know if Morrigan is Flemeth's biological daugther.
Even if she is and the name has some importance to it rather than it just being a somewhat common Fereldan name, Morrigan has older sisters like Yavana who didn't receive it and whose eyes are just as golden.

 

What is the timeline for Tyrdda, anyway?

Does anyone know if there are holidays that the elves celebrate that are elven? the main holidays of thedas are human in origin IIRC, so doe the elves, city or dalish, have any holidays of their own?

They have access to the ironbark cure. And not having fear and oppression about magic concentrated in those demon beacons called Circle towers should lead to far fewer abominations anyway. I'm not saying that it does, because we don't know, but that's my view on it.

The best person to handle a powerful bad mage is a powerful good mage.

Yeah, I didn't mean it was actually Morrigan, more like a type or an ancestor.

Not sure on Tyrdda. There's not much on the wiki about it yet.

None of that stops abominations. Think that way all you want, but magic is dangerous and even the Dalish realise it.

The very first thing an abomination does when it is formed, is create as many more as it possibly can. The best person to handle them is one who can cancel their magic, that is a Templar or a Seeker.

wouldn't that be a reason why one should not have all the mages in one spot, ie a circle/college? 

[Br3admax]

The mages chose to separate themselves from the rest of society, and they are closely watched by magic canceling warriors. So no.

Decided to try and recreate my Mahariel. Well, one anyway. This is Anessen. The other one I have to create is Lysa, and then there's Darrien Tabris and my Surana (whose name I can never remember. Was a guy, but I'm leaning towards making my Surana a woman in my headcanon of DAO events. Same role I envisioned but a woman).

 

Also here's a pic of Marisa Lavellan
