So, I finally played the 3 DLC missions, and wow they really took a lot of risks in this game. Every new revelation deepened the lore of the world so much. Fen'harel, Mythal, Flemeth, Titans, Eluvians, the veil, all of it.

So, what are some questions that are still left unanswered? I've got:

What is Sandal?
What, exactly, are the Titans? How many are there?
Why are the Dwarves cut off from the Fade?
What started the Blight?
Is the Maker real? What is it?
Will anyone outside Par Vollen/Seheron realize that they cannot coexist with the Qun.
What is the true nature of the majestic Nug King?

1. He's da maker ya know.

2. We know that they are the pillars of the earth, but we're not sure how many of them are there though.

3. The Titans I believe. But I'm not sure if that's right.

4. I believe the Maker is neither real or false according to Bioware. I think they didn't want to pull a Skyrim on us or something.

5. Nope. Their Qunari; they believe everyone should submit to them or die.

5. The Nug King? He's there to be awesome.

I have a feeling that if you tried to collate all of the unanswered questions left from all 3 games, your brain would melt and dribble out of your nose...so.....

 

Good luck with that tho, I'm just going to hide in the corner like a coward and try not to think too hard about it all.  Seriously, if there's a master book of DA lore over at Bioware, the thing would be like that book in Harry Potter that attacks you as soon as you open it.  I can't even imagine the tangled web they've weaved.

A savant. Probably connected to a titan, like Valta is. But Sanda's connection probably came when he was a child, which is why he seems more child-like. Valta is different now as well, but she still has some understanding. The intelligence she gained over the course of her life keeps her somewhat sane-sounding, but she is seeing and sensing new things and can't yet make sense of it all or convey everything she feels. Sandal can only convey a little bit. It seems Flemeth (or Mythal) talks to him sometimes.

 

The titans are probably rocks + lyrium infused with many souls. A titan might have a collective consciousness. Like how a profane is a spirit bound to stone. Or even how a golem is for that matter. And I think the lyrium they have all comes from the Fade. As for how many there are. That is unknown. We only see the living one in Descent, which seems to be underneath Ferelden's Coastlands, and we learn about one that Mythal killed. This one seems to be located in the elven ruins in the Deep Roads in Trespasser. But there are likely more. They seem easy to make, even if it does take a long time. There is speculation that there is a titan underneath the mountain where the Temple of Sacred Ashes was located.

 

Dwarves are not totally cut off from the Fade, since they can be Templars or Spirit Warriors and can also be sent to the Fade, like in Origins, Awakening, or Inquisition. However, they don't dream in the Fade. Their dreams are in their own minds. Their "distance" from the Fade was said by Gaider to be something inherent about them specifically. This might be because the titans created them from the earth or from part of themselves. So nothing about them originates from the Fade. Instead they originate from the titans. As for a dwarven soul. That might come from the titans or possibly reincarnated souls that drift through the Veil from the Fade. But not Fade spirits. Rather, those who were people first, then died, and then their soul went into a dwarf somehow. It's also possible that some souls go toward the lyrium of a titan and get absorbed into that collective consciousness.

 

The Blight was started by the first old god Dumat being corrupted by the darkspawn that dug down into his prison and touched him. If your question was meant to ask how the taint started, that happened when the Magisters Sidereal entered the Golden City. It is most likely that they corrupted the Golden City, and that corruption turned into the taint and went back to them, transforming them into the first darkspawn. They then infected others, turning them into ghouls. One of the Magisters may have been a female, in which case she may have become the first broodmother. But in any case, broodmothers came about at some point.

 

Yes, the Maker is real. He is the creator of the Fade and the real world. It is up for debate if he really created the Veil as the Chantry claims, because Solas claims to have created the Veil. However, I believe the Maker created the Veil as well. Solas just discovered it and how to manipulate it or recreate it.

 

I think everyone knows that the Qunari will not coexist with those who don't believe in the Qun. It isn't that the Qun can't coexist with others, its that the Qunari are fanatics, fascists, and tyrants. Its those people who will choose not to coexist. They will always try to convert or kill. I think most people in Thedas know this. They simply want to keep peace for as long as possible, since the last Exalted March was costly in blood and treasure, lengthy, and not all that effective. All they could do was drive the Qunari back to the first islands they conquered. They could not drive them from those bases however. And so the Llyomeren Accords were created to officially declare the end of the war, even if the Qunari do not consider this binding and only agreed to it as a lengthy ceasefire so they could rebuild their forces and change their tactics.

 

Spirit possessed nug. Or just a stupid non-canon gag, like the Krogen head.

That is the story the Chantry tells, but it's very likely all wrong

The Qun is going to be the only thing that manages to survive, somewhat, the coming apocalypse. Everyone else will war, riot, burn their own lands to ashes and generally falter; and the Qun will finally be seen as the right way of thinking. Wait and see, everyone. Wait and see.

1. A dwarf made Tranquil by his mental connection to a Titan. Lyrium takes away your sense of self and renders you "invisible" to spirits and demons in the Fade. Thus Sandal can make prophecies, barely speaks and seems austistic. Think of the Sha-Britol.

 

2. Mysterious entities whose blood is the source of magic in Thedas. They were once attacked by one or more Evanuris. Lore states it was because of the earthly tremors they caused. There might be more than elven legend is telling, though.

 

3. It has to do with the dwarven race being split into two and the war against a Titan. 

 

4. Corypheus entering the Black City and embracing the darkness within. The result was the birth of darkspawn. Upon their return to the waking world, the darkspawn brought the corruption with them and thus the Blight started.

 

5. Probably not. The Maker is the Chantry's version for the mystery of the creation of life, the existence of the Fade, of spirits and its relation to the waking world. Just as the Golden City is supposed to be the seat of the Maker, when it was in fact a part of Arlathan, perhaps Elvenhan, its capital. Many ancient myths from Arlathan were adapted and became new stories by the hand of the Chantry.

 

6. No idea.

 

7. Comic relief that was supposed to be funny.
