They are always together. The horned woman and masked man. In Emprise du Lion, The Hissing Wastes and even the Shattered Library (upside down). As you said and I agree, it might be a hint to DA4. Now that we are SO done with Mages and Templars, it's time for Vints and Qunari!

 

Perhaps this is a war that has happened before?  I barely recall codex entries suggesting Tevinter mages may have created the Qunari.  Or the Kossith.  I can't keep it all straight, honestly.

It's been hinted at if I recall, and Bull said he thinks dragon blood might have been added too.

Those statues are in the Hissing Wastes too. Oddly enough everything there is supposed to be Dwarven.


It's elven iconography that was adopted by Tevinter, almost certainly. People speculate it is mean to be a desire demon or a Qunari but that needn't be the case (anymore than actual angels are meant to be real people with wings).

Remember there are lots of hints that the Qunari are artificial. We assume the order of operations is Qunari => statue, but it could be the reverse; the Qunari were created to reflect the statute.

Oh that would be interesting! I do think we need to learn more about their origins. We know a lot about dwarves now and how they connect to Titans and how it all went wrong. Solas did something, yet what I find most interesting are the Mythal states in the Deep Roads. As far back as DAO it was implied that dwarves and elves once might have lived together.

I have a feeling that the Kossith were created by the Evunaris to fight Solas and his rebels.

Could that be the bodies made from Earth Cole spoke about? I assumed they accidentally made Darkspawn.

I've wondered this too. Are the Darkspawn a failed prototype for a slave warrior army? The Darkspawn would an effective fighting force if you could control them - fearless, fast replenishing, don't require training, utterly expendable, etc. Maybe the Qunari were an attempt by Teviter to replicate what the Evanuris did in order to fight the Darkspawn by creating their own slave warriors.

Cole says they made bodies from the Earth but the Earth was afraid and fought back. If Mythal killed a Titan, and we know its blood is lyrium and corrupted makes it red, perhaps the Darkspawn were an accident when they attempted to use the lyrium and the taint they found to create them from a Titan's remains. I wonder if those coffins with the Mythal statues and lyrium Well we flood are failed creations.

Kossith is just a term for Qunari before the establishment of the Qun. That seems pretty well established. They probably weren't much different than Tal Vashoth, and it's likely not an accurate word for any existing people unless there are any left that worship the old Kossith deities.

Obviously, it's a Gryphon.  ^_^

 

 

 

 

 

 

I kid.  It is, however, a play on the Sleipnir model of equine anatomy.

I thought we all knew this. 

'Tis the legendary and ill-fated Hodgepogdythymessycus (hodge-podgy-fee-messy-cus).

In ancient times it was a simple mixture between a horse, a halla and an eagle -- but, because of its laughably large antlers, and its tendency to stuff its greedy face for days on end, it couldn't fly for more than a minute without developing a painful stitch, becoming exhausted, and crashing into a wall. (Always a wall -- even if it attempted to fly in the middle of an empty field or desert with no man-made constructions for miles around. Most bizarre.)

Therefore, to turn his own pet beast into a suitable battle-mount, a Tevinter magister named Idiotus Ifokup used a rare nature spell to give the creature a pair of extra legs, which would -- according to the mage's comically optimistic calculations -- allow it to run at supersonic take-off speeds and remain airborne for up to fifteen weeks without resting, eating or taking a poo.

Needless to say, Messer Ifokup lived up to his name and, instead of becoming the most feared flying beast since the dearly departed Griffon, the Hodgepogdythymessycuss used its powerful new legs to ensnare and mount females of its species with greater frequency and vigour, thereby polluting said species' bloodline with dangerous (and stoopid) magic that led to its eventual demise.

Wait ... you're telling me this crucial lore isn't in the Dragon Age Wiki? C'mon, BioWare, sort your act out, please.  :lol:

What is scary is: that does sound like that could be a codex entry to explain whatever the f that thing is. :lol:

 

Oh and I LMAO all the way through.
