And does she bathe in the blood of virgins to keep eternally young?

She's apparently a villain. I approve! We need more female villains. And no, the archdemon does not count.

I'd guess she's not human. Does she have any relation to the Architect?

[KnightofPhoenix]

Isolde

[Vuokseniska]

isn't she dead yet? or turned into a broodmother?

[Brockololly]

Baroness? Any link to any info on this "Baroness?"

There's a villian in the game called the Baroness. I'd like to know more about her.

And no, it's not Isolde.

It's odd; there are no barons in Ferelden as there are no baronies.

'z that some reference to a certain countess from diablo or is it something else entirely ?

And where did you even hea about a baroness anyway ?

[KnightofPhoenix]

Obviously it's not Isolde. Joke.

not it is a reference to this: http://en.wikipedia....izabeth_Bathory she is in the guiness book of records for the most kills... that is what happens when there aren't games like GTA

[Brockololly]

Are we referring to the Orlesian baroness mentioned in this wiki article?

http://dragonage.wik..._the_Blackmarsh
"When it seemed all hope was lost, the Orlesian baroness that ruled those lands set out and presumably killed the Queen. However, some did not believe it, and rumors circulated that the baroness was a witch."

Countess Elizabeth Bathory, the 'female' Dracula, is wildly rumored to have bathed in the blood of virgins in order to remain eternally young and beautiful.

This is impossible though, as blood quickly coagulates, and by the time you filled a bathtub, you'd be dealing with more solid than liquid. She could *shower* in the blood of virgins though.

I thought it was funny, but you know someone would take it seriously.

The achievment is titled "Pride before the Fall" so perhaps it is the witch that got rid of the Queen of the Blackmarshes the first time around and she is a very arogant witch that you have no reason to beat but underestimates your abilities, or something like that. It is probably a boss of a quest where you collect the stuff needed to defeat her that she just left laying around due to here ego.

There is that gaunt, female mage in the trailer.

[Behindyounow]

Huh. I thought the Archdemon was a dude. Everyone referred to it as a he, and its supposed to be the old god of beauty, which the codex refers to as a he as well.

[Maria Caliban]

Yes, but high dragons are all female. There's only one way to be sure, and I don't think BioWare would show that even in a M rated game.

[Cuthlan]

Is it possible she is a noble in Amaranthine that tries to rebel against the Warden's? The "traitors in our midst" that Anders mentions?

Absolutely a wild guess. I have no idea if Barons even exist in Ferelden heirarchy.

It's probably because the Archdemon is an Old God -masculine- as opposed to an Old Goddess -Feminine- so either it's a ****-up on Bioware's part or the fact that all High Dragons are female is not known by the people of Thedas, or the Old Gods are the exception to the rule.

She's one of the Boss fights in Awakening. Trailer link below:

[Maria Caliban]

That's the Queen of the Black March, a spectral dragon. It might be that the baroness became the Queen, but there's no way to be sure.

[AndreaDraco]

I have the idea that she is the red-clad woman that says in the trailer something about the mortals bowing down before her.

[dreadfulsins]

well to tell u the truth the old gods arent originally dragons it is said ther are spirits powerful enough to take on the form of dragonsand tht they were created by the maker but they were flawed and cast outso they wohrshipped the living throuh dreams thous sayin tht they were th creator notht emakerso yeah the old gods tht aredragons can be maleas theexception tht they are not dragons

[dreadfulsins]

o and um in my collectors edition strategy guid for dao it says tht a baron is equivalent to a bann

[dreadfulsins]

if u look at th ban it say its roughly equivalent to orlesian baron so technically shes a bann in the sence tht shes an orliseina bann aka baron

[Didius Falco]

here is a link to greywardens.com, where they expand a bit on it. You are right, can't say for sure if the Baroness became the dragon or just lost in a fight to it, etc. So basically, this is all just speculation at this stage,but...

my Warden senses are tingling!!

For that matter, I can't even say that what is on Greywarden.com is even true - besides, spoilers should at least wait until the actual release occurs...
