Greetings Dragon Age community!

 

I'm a DA newbie, and have recently started to plod my way through the franchise in the publication date order. While I have "officially" only finished "The Calling", I like to keep track of the lore through available online resources (such as wikia) as much as I can without major spoilers.

 

Because of this, I'm a bit confused atm. I have gathered that nearly all of the time references in "The Calling" to "The Stolen Throne" are wrong in both the novel and the audiobook, and have noted and corrected them. There's also one or two wrong numerations of "Chant of Light" verses compared to the later Codex entries, and that's fine too.

 

But I'm sort of baffled by the verse opening chapter 10:

 

With passion'd breath does the darkness creep,

It is the whisper in the night,

the lie upon your sleep

- Transfigurations 1:5

 

From wikia, Transfigurations 1:5 is:

 

All things in this world are finite.
What one man gains, another has lost.
Those who steal from their brothers and sisters
Do harm to their livelihood and to their peace of mind.
Our Maker sees this with a heavy heart.

 

 

Rudimentary googling shows these "rogue" verses only in (relatively old) fanfiction, yet there it is in my digital copy of the book itself, as well as audiobook... :/

 

Since I haven't been on forums before now, I was wondering if the verses had been retconned by DA writers somehow to fit them in the official lore?

I distinctly remember the chanters in DA:I reciting the "with passion'd breath" verse. They obviously don't state which part of the Chant it's from, but as they never shut up those words are now burned into my memory. So probably not retconned outright, but moved to some other location within the Chant. We never did get a full version of it, even the section in Word of Thedas II is just "choice segments".
