Dragon Age: The History and Lore of Thedas. Rivain

[@knight-_-meh]

got to say i think if the circles were less militant and more in line with Rivain circles you would not get shit like DA2 and the fall of kirkwall

[@ASlothfulK]

Loved this. If i were in this world, Rivan would be my first pick.

[@cait8480]

the details at the end about the qunari stepping to the negotiating table in response to the volume of civilian casualties, and the remaining rivaini bearing the brunt of the chantry violence without bringing the qunari back into it, was extremely fascinating. it’s a strangely moving detail, i wonder why as well.

i can't wait for Orlais, the Marches, and Antiva, especially Orlais and Antiva

[@loreuniversity895]

Thank you, they are all on there way! Antiva will be next 😁

[@TheRagFromTheCragCorner23]

@@loreuniversity895 that's a relief, for me especially, as I'm a fanfiction author, and since quality Lore Videos are hard to find I'm often forced to rely on the fandom or books which didn't quite convey things as well as a lore video might.

[@Maxbroforce]

Another excellent video! With all the DA4 hints I can't wait to see how our knowledge of Rivain will expand in future.

[@Kabasya94]

Wonderful video!❤

Been watching all your channel this week, thank you so much for thia videos, they are so well done

[@loreuniversity895]

And thank you for watching and enjoying my friend. Welcome to the channel 😁

[@ericcloud1023]

great content, so glad i found you

[@RequiemOfTheFirst]

May be a small nitpick, but it seems Rivain has mostly Irish-Gaelic names for its towns, which is a bit odd. If it follows the pronunciation of Gaeilge, wouldn't Diarsmuid be pronounced "Deer's-Mid"? Hmm, though there is a bit of Welsh in the town names, too, so perhaps they are just going with a "Celtic" theme for the country.

[@napstablook3935]

this would be my go to if i lived in thedas ehehe

[@ConnorLonergan]

So according to a QnA on the BioWare Discord the Dalish elves where able to create settlements in Ravain. Obviously we will need to wait for Veilguard to come out but given this among other new information will you be doing update lectures?

[@loreuniversity895]

Interesting! I might do some form of updated video in the future or a longer video on the Dalish elves specifically.

[@greenfrogbad]

Consult qunari texts? That sounds like Heresy.

[@archabe]

great

[@ChoseeComprende]

Maybe i just missed it ... But how are Seers coming along with Qun?

[@evilpac2327]

I'd say they are such a vital part of their culture that not even the win could get rid of them. After all, the chantry couldn't either.

[@Shadowpack95]

The Qun is very Black and White with little wiggle-room and respect for other cultures. Its either Convert or die and all magic is dangerous and needs to be contained, most Seers probably end up just like other Saarebas the second they join the Qun

[@greenfrogbad]

​@@evilpac2327They were, and are tolerated for strategic concerns. Were the Qunari to invade Thedas in force, without the disunity within the Triumvirate as we've seen multiple times in the serise, and hold enough territory long enough to begin mass conversions across multiple nations, their forebearance with the seers would end.

Another good one🎉 Let the research never end.🫡
