Possibly, but one does not seek power for power's sake unless they're idiots who think power is the end. Someone like Flemeth wouldn't want that power unless she was planning on doing something with it.

 

Well, she wants revenge on those who betrayed Mythal. That is Flemeth's goal.

 

What's not clear is what that revenge entails. The Evanuris are locked away in the Fade; there's no one really left to take vengeance on. So there's really only three possibilities:

 

1) She wants the Evanuris to be sprung from their prison so she can exact vengeance personally.

2) She blames Solas in some way and wants to bring him down.

3) The fruition of Solas' plans ARE Flemeth's revenge. It would be fitting if Solas brought back the ancient world and he was the only god left.

As I was at work during a break, I was thinking about the Descent DLC and how I was about to start it as a dwarf Inquisitor for the first time, and it occurred to me from the last time I played it.

 

Since lyrium is actually Titan blood, does that make any magic ritual, any at all, a form of blood magic? Are the templars using blood magic as they imbibe lyrium to gain their powers? Is the ritual to free Connor of the Demon's control using lyrium blood magic like Jowan's ritual is, only without a death?

 

This is seriously a huge implication that I had not considered the first time I played through it as I was too busy thinking about how the dwarves are literally connected to the stone, the titans and the lyrium in such a way that there really is a stone sense. 

 

Thoughts?

 

Yes.

 

But the implications can still be different.

 

Solomon could summon demons because he knew how to cast proper "purified" magic.  But, the traditions have been lost and now all magic is corrupt and the work of evil men according to the tradition.  (Islam has it's own version) 

 

I relay this because lyrium could be "safe" or "purified" blood magic... not according to the Maker, but simply according to the cosmology of Thedas. 

 

We are told that blood mages are weaker to demon possession... we're also told that blood mages hear demons louder when working blood magic (Last Flight) - this suggests that this is a less safe form of blood magic.

 

But yes... both are "blood" magic is the loosest sense of the term.

Or possibly rejected by the titans themselves?

 

This new lore is absolutely fascinating in how the dwarves have a literal stone sense and that they may indeed return to the Stone at death.

 

DA lore loves the "myths are true, from a certain point of view" trope. Based on DA:I, we should expect that any myth we learn about to explain the narrative in the myth (e.g., the Dread Wolf did seal away the gods) but with a twist.

They definitely like the idea that the passage of time and the application of political agendas twists history into myth, but a kernel of truth generally remains. That seems to be a common theme running through all the races and religions of Thedas.
