Forgive me if this is common knowledge already, but Inquisition is the first Dragon Age game I've played, and even after some googling I was unable to find answers about the source of the name 'Eldritch', which appears as the name for the mage cross-class combo detonator abilities in the game.
I am wondering what the significance of Eldritch is in the DA universe? Is Eldritch a name that refers to someone or something within Thedas or is it used as a nod or inside-jokey reference to another game franchise? Or is it both? I know there are several little nods to Disney films (in some of Cole's dialogue), other game characters etc. peppered throughout DA:I, so I was wondering about 'Eldritch'.
EDIT: Looks like if anything it's most likely a nod to H.P. Lovecraft. Never mind. I've never read Lovecraft, so it went way over my head. Still, I would like to know about the word's usage in any other capacity if anyone has any thoughts.
