Flemeth promised us a cataclysm in DA2. It didn't turn out to be mages versus templars -- at least not on-screen. Was she referring to Corypheus? But no, when she shows up this time, she again refers to the "coming storm." (Paraphrased -- I don't remember the exact words.) I'm beginning to feel like BW is trolling us.
I never thought it would be the Mage vs Templars, but the consequence of that conflict.
The Breach was a cataclysm and there is a coming storm to usher in the new age, yes.
The Herald was a harbinger of the new age.
The next game will be the arrival of the new age.
The 5th game will be the start of the new age.
Just guessing.
Bioware peeps claim that they have 5-6 games planned, but lore open for more (paraphrase).
DA2 Flemeth speaks of being on the precipice of change, the world fearing the inevitable plummet into the abyss.
I wonder what was the abyss in DAI.
I wonder what Solas plans.
