I think the verses might have been in the Amazon preview of WoT2, if you want to check there. Off the top of my head all I remember are the Architect of Beauty, the Conductor of Silence, and the Madman of Chaos.

Do half-dwarves dream, I wonder?

YES YES THE ARCHITECT=PRIEST OF URTHEMIEL THEORY WAS RIGHT HAHA-

Ahem. 

I imagine that the High Priests of the two remaining Archdemons will have a role to play in upcoming games. I look forward to it.

Because he is allergic, can you imagine a mage allergic to lyrium? The irony....

Judging from the Codex entry about the dwarf stumbling into a few of the Seven Magisters arguing, post-Black City assault, they popped out in the Deep Roads, which has all sorts of interesting implications.

Or maybe Bioware will take the high road and not have the elves involved in every major historical event.

Well elven lore is awesome they must be in lol

[Master Warder Z_]

Elven lore is a contradicting, contrived mess.

I think we're missing the most vital part: what the crap is a Titan?

No doubt it will be revealed.

Or it will won't be brought up again!

Alright found the pages on Amazon, so the Magisters Sidereal are: the Conductor of the the Choir of Silence, Architect of the Works of Beauty, Watchman of Night, Forgewright of Fire, Appraiser of Slavery, Augur of Mystery, and Madman of Chaos.

Regarding the Archon defeating the Magisters (skipping some portions): "The archon followed the path of fire writ across the sky of Tevinter, and upon the plain where once great Barindur had stood he arrived.....So the Archon called upon the spirits of the Fade, and adding their strength to his own, scattering them to the winds and the corners of the earth..."

Obviously they are the Earthmovers, who had proto-darkspawn minions, that the elves hunted to make the Earth bloom. Duh.

Entirely likely, tbh.

DWARVEN PROTOGENOI.

Given what Dagna says about her experiments after Here Lies the Abyss, about both being as tall as a mountain and the mountain itself, this seems extremely probable.

Hnnnnng I have a fierce need.

I guess since we've been exploring the truths behind the elven pantheon, we're also going to learn a bit more about the Stone and dwarven religion in general? If so, I'm all for that.

Yes. Thank you.

 

Those creepy Tevinter statues in the Western Approach and elsewhere were created when their architect met a giant metal creature that asked him where he could find the 'blood of the world' so he could stay alive. I'm willing to bet that that's a Titan, and he was either looking for lyrium or for dragon blood.

After analyzing the ancient writings from the Temple of Mythal for a bit, I'm fairly sure that the Hundred Pillars are petrified titans, and that the titans and their "workers" (dwarves, I presume) warred with the Creators and their ancient elves.

If thats not further proof that the Architect isn't an ancient magister then I don't know what is.

 

I wonder if this fight against the Archon (who had alot of spirits fighting with him) cause their initial memory loss?

That would make sense, actually. And it would explain why they bothered to have Gatsi and Dorian mention them. 

Myahele: I think the debate fans have been having for awhile over whether the Architect was one of the Seven is over now. I hope. 

If the story is true, then that Archon must have been a real munchkin to take down seven darkspawn magisters all at once.  Arcane Warrior/Blood Mage/Battlemage spec?

There's also the one who gets eaten by his fellow in the A Different Kind of Darkspawn Codex entry. While with their respawn abilities, that magister probably didn't die, but it probably did a number on his memory.

Then again, Corypheus doesn't seem to have been conscious for his centuries after the Black City event, and only got his mind together after the Wardens imprisoned him and after he woke up. Is it possible that the imprisonment cut his connection to whatever was controlling him through the Blight? He only vaguely remembers centuries in darkness and confusion.

If that's the case, the Architect could be an example of what Corypheus was like when the Wardens found him during the First (apparently very long) Thaw. Unaware of his origins, somewhat perplexed by things, but ingenious nonetheless and a snappy dresser. Or this could be traits of the Architect in particular. I guess we'll find out should we meet any of the other Seven.

Tantalizing info.

hnnnng so many revelations

[Pondering Drifter]

There seems to be a consistent theme that there is a connection with song and holiness in Dragon Age. Think about it, the chantry is founded on the principal that the world will be saved through the chant of light. Then there is the fact that Lyrium "sings" a beautiful and wondrous song that even spirits marvel at. Part of me even wonders if lyrium is an extension of the old gods and serves as a conduit to sing their songs through the deep roads.

 

This makes me think that Varric's quote about him hoping the "world could be saved through a song" may be some-sort of foreshadowing. Lots of questions but few answers.
