Funny, considering how the war started in 2:9 and ended in 2:20, effectively a 11-year war.  Unless the Dales actively engaged in guerrilla warfare during their advance, I highly doubt that it was pure surprise that allowed them to push all the way to Val Royeaux.

You assume they faced any meaningful opposition on the way there.  If the majority of Orlesian troops were either decommissioned or stomping around the Western Free Marches, the newest of the Orlesian territories, the elven army would have faced little more than local levies as they marched north.  Their entire stay in Orlais could have lasted no more than a year or two, and the rest of the war spent reducing the Dales to rubble.

The Dales while a worthless province is surprisingly large.

ENOUGH! It is an Elven Support Thread. Not an argument thread about who was "good" and who was "bad" in this time. I understood this argument but it is enough. Talk about other things as well. Not only the Dales. There are city elves as well Arlathan, Dalish and elven tradition, I didin't create this thread to be a big argument of at least 5 pages. I created this thread to argue, yes, and to talk, but not on one specific topic. 

[Elfyoth]

And since we cannot know yet what EXACTLY happened there, this argument leads to nothing. 

 

 

Cuz if it keeps like this the thread won't be Elven anymore it would be a thread only about the Dales. Now I am not saying you cant argue, I am saying argue about a lot of things, talk about some other things. 

 

 

I hope I made my point.

It seems like almost everyone picks June's vallaslin.

In second place we have Mythal's vallaslin though nowhere as common, and then the rest.

[Elfyoth]

I have always wondered what an elven food is like. We know that the City Elves of Denerim like roasted mouses? And that in Fereldan Merill really liked some special berries that grow there. What do you think Elves eat? 

 

For example I imagine that the Dalish eat mostly meat and soups, and maybe some potatos from trading with villages, since they are travelling they can't grow them. Unless they are in one place for a long time. 

 

And I imagine that City Elves eat mostly what poor humans eat, or any poor pepole. Hmm I wonder, if they eat Fondo...

I picked Mythal with my Quizzy this time But my first and second  quizzies had Dirthamen's tattoo and I didin't know that till Bioware announced what god repressent each tattoo.

No mystery about that.

The Dalish hunt their food and City Elves eat what they can get.

Yes I know that, but I mean, do Dalish have soup? Potatos? Tomatoes? Or only meat?

Halla?

[Elfyoth]

Halla?

What? No they don't eat Halla.

I wonder how the elves will feel when they discover that their gods may be nothing more than mages or spirits. If it is like the Avvar's gods will be very disappointing. Accept the fact of a god be a bald mage, at least if I were an elf, I'd rather include in human society and accept they imaginary god.

Hmm intrensting... Btw please don't spoil me about the Avvar and Jaws of hakkon...☺️

Not everyone has the same conception of a god or gods. I'd say, from the myths the Dalish already have of the gods that depict them as anthropomorphized and fallible, they already have a less exalted and mysterious view of the creators than Andrastians have of the Maker. What they don't know much about is their own history.

[Qun00]

Sometimes I wonder how the City Elves feel about the Dalish way of life.

It must be like "I don't know, man... I hate this alienage but I'm not desperate enough to live in the woods".

Fen'harel himself said they aren't gods.

But hey, at least they're real. Still beats the Chantry's Maker.

That depends on the tribe, I think. In The Masked Empire, Michel de Chevin observes a Dalish woman eating bread. It's possible to make bread from acorn or chestnut flour, but I expect that it's not unusual for Dalish clans to trade for foodstuffs, cloth, or tools they can't make themselves.

[Addai]

I think The Stolen Throne mentioned stew. It would make sense, stretching the resources they had. I could imagine it would be whatever meat they'd hunted, wild leeks, greens, tubers, etc. They would probably have waybread and jerky or pemmican type foods for the road.

Boot broth an' berries.

 

Why do you think they "prefer" walking barefoot?

Oh, sorry for that.

Yes, its like our world, the ''pagan'' gods are concepts based on attempts to explain the world, as Fade is something real, almost all faiths are based on it(dragon age ones).

I remember that and this same statement complicates the explanation.

Didn't the Devs clear up in DA2, that the whole walking barefoot thing was a preference of the art team and not a lore based decision from the writers who think it's rather silly.

I think I remember something to that effect.

Really? Never heared that... I was a little dissapointed that this "tradition" kept to DAI :/

Its okay you didint really say what they are... This mystery makes me wanna play it even more!

[Drasanil]

Thanks for the confirmation

Yeah I heard it on the forums a while ago, don't remeber where though. As for it being kept, that probably has more to do with the elven armors just being ported from DA2 than anything else. 

 

And for the record I also think the barefoot thing is silly, shoes serve a practically purpose, you'd think people who spend their lives as nomads would have an appreciation for their benefits.
