You remember the Nexus Golem? He was the golem merchant that could be found in the Abandoned Thaig at Sundermount in Dragon Age 2. He made a number of vague statements, including the ever-popular "The Stone lives beneath Orlais" and the following:

"Amgarrak tapped the blood spilled within the Stone."

At first I though this somehow referred to the blood magic used to create the Harvester, but I now realize ...

Also, his comment "The Gauntlet has been passed. Only a Shaperate can bring the light. Conversion begins" could very well be a reference to ...

I'm still sad we didn't find the "Stone Lives Beneath Orlais."

I mean we found the Stone beneath Ferelden , but it's not the same.(well maybe that Titan was so Big , he's under both countries.)

 

In WOT2 , there's text about Tug (a friend of Leliana ) having a note or something carved with "The Stone Lives Beneath Orlais"

There's a second phrase "Mathas gar na fornen pa tot isatunoll"

Meaning "I'm sorry sacrifice one at my side death..." well sort of .

It seems nobody knows what "isatunoll " means but "isana" for example means Lyrium...so  it could be related to Titans.I imagine the word for them was lost when the dwarves forget or erased them from the records.

 

Leliana says she heard this before but it ended with "pa salroka atrast." meaning "At my side find your way in the dark."

Anyway she thinks the whole stuff means "I regret the sacrifice of my kin , but it means we will find our way home.

Also well "Only a Shaperate can bring the light ." and "find your way in the dark..."

 

Where I'm lost is "sacrifice of my kin" ...there's no talk of dwarven massacre , except well with the Blight.

There was also the Primeval Thaig where a number of dwarves were left to die .

It's quite possible it was struck from the Memories centuries ago, and over time it was completely forgotten.

Yes it's very possible.

It's too bad we didn't get more information about that in Descent.

I mean we know about Titans and the Stone being alive but not why or how the dwarves were cut off from the Titans.

 

Before the Blight we got tales of thaigs united under a single banner , Orzammar or Kal Sharok .

But surely there's been conflict when they decided to erased Titans from the memories and started to mine Lyrium and sell it to the surface.

I mean nowadays they have no other choice , what's left of the dwarven kingdom is barely surviving.

But back then , they could maybe afford to do research and seek the Titans again if they felt like it.

It might be that the Primeval Thaig is the site of a Blighted Titan. The dwarves of other Titans sealed the thaig off in order to prevent the infection from spreading. The dwarves, no longer connected went mad and became the Profane.

Magic was dealt a serious blow when Solas did whatever he did to construct the Veil. The Breach back in the time of Coryphaeus stirred something and unleashed the Blight, this new Breach appears to have awakened a whole slew of supernatural weirdness.

The Gauntlet line is concerning. Either he's referring to someone making pilgrimage to Andraste's Ashes, which would be odd, or he's using gauntlet in the general sense. Like, what, the dwarves have survived the Blight and the fall of the empire and proven something about themselves? Conversion begins now? Conversion back into what they were, or...or what?

 

I think one of the more likely possibilities is that the Primeval Titan was blighted, and dwarves were cut off from the Titans. Not sure if they did it or the Titans did for their own safety. They started selling lyrium to the Imperium around the time that the Imperium got pretty powerful and finished off Arlathan. Trade relations with the elves for some centuries before that.

I'm curious, did Arlathan also get their lyrium by trading with dwarves? Or did they hunt Titans directly for it? Then again, apparently the Titans don't mind people taking lyrium, but do care about people messing with the Fade...

Titans can shape the Stone/the world. Sealing them in is a waste of time at best. Not to mention that a Titan is so big you can't even see it. So how exactly would one seal one in?
