Empress Of Fire - Dragon Age: Inquisition OST - Tavern song

[@nyranstanton203]

if pubs and taverns in the real world had music like this i would never leave them.

[@elvishladdy3404]

I'd create my own little nook of pillows, fabric hanging from the ceiling and books like Sera in the game. That would be magical.

[@ToddHowardBethsoft]

It's too bad there aren't any medieval styled taverns anywhere. I would gladly go there.

[@elvishladdy3404]

I will find one someday, no matter where it is.

So many of these Tavern songs are so good that I often stop and listen to the whole thing before carrying on with the game. Some songs literally stop me in my tracks. Beautiful songs that are well sung. So I'm really disappointed that the soundtrack on iTunes doesn't include any of them! If they sold a soundtrack of just the tavern songs, they would make a killing.

[@DivaQuinzel]

+luckdragon88 Dude, the first time I heard a Tavern song in DAI... Just damn

[@BuffedAmbush]

I think I spent an hour in the tavern listening to the songs.

[@truthful_liar13]

luckdragon88 I did the same thing! I was on my way to talk to Cole (my favorite companion) and just stopped and was infatuated by this song. I wanted to talk to her to make her sing it again. 😭

[@RogerWazup007]

When I first walked into this pub, I was taken back by the quality of this. I just stood there, listening to the song until it ended. With Skyrim as my only previous game with semi-memorable pub music, this certainly raised the bar.

[@aurelianxix1995]

I remember entering Val Royeux and an instrumental version of this started playing. Almost immediately I was greeted with the glossy noble aura that the Orlesian's held, their fashion was so elaborate and flashy and even their guards looked stunning unlike the robust armour I often see in Thedas. Val Royeux is now my most faviroute place.

I believe Celene is called empress of fire because she burns Halamshiral and the elves in the book "The masked empire". One of my favorite songs in the game. Its too bad it never made it in the soundtrack.

[@JossLun]

I think it's also a reference to Louis XIV, which was called Sun King. Both are really similar.

[@brine2223]

"Take me down, and every elf in Orlais will riot." "No they won't. Not when they learn that you bedded the woman that burned their entire alienage."

I think this songs could also refer to Andraste and the fact that Orlais is one of the most faithful nation in Thedas, even tho Andraste was Fereldan.

[@svckmyfeeto]

@@clariealenko I have read somewhere that this song is abour Andraste because she "raised the torch" against the Tevinter Imperium, basically saying that she was the one who started the revelion.

Empress of Fire, What season may come We fight for the day, Youll restore our heart and bring us to glory We are forever in our graces. Empress of Fire, Save us everyone.

[@alex-sr2bv]

Orlais is my favourite country in Dragon age. Its grandiose, wealthy, treacherous and the French accent along with the "Game" is a sensation. This song is my favourite one from the tavern. Also love the orlais, val rayox and wicked hearts wicked eyes themes

[@ThePheonix66]

I dont know about anyone else, but this is my absolute favorite tavern song in the game. I would LOVE to hear actual pubs and taverns play this every once in a while...I'm in America, so maybe I can make it happen. Who's with me?

I've been coming back to listen to this song over the past week. The view count on this video has gone up about 15,000 in the course of 5 days. And if you look at the view count on the other videos, it looks like the tavern songs are a lot more popular than the game's actual ost, lol. This song is so good! Thanks for uploading it, Hikaru.

inquisition is great, has some improvements the combat is amazing, storyline is good, carismatic companions, you can forge weapons, armors, put name on the gears. ok one thing i dont like on inquisition is the fact they limited the classes for exemple: warriors can be equip with only weapon and shield, and dual weapons, and use the same type of armor. the skills three i prefer ten times orgins than inquisition, ok inquisition is still great game but i fell some limitations

One the best tavern song so far. You can't leave that place after you listen to it. It gives the same vibe of "The gallery" of Uru - Age Beyond Myst.

[@yuliang5900]

I happened to chance upon this song played in the tavern in Orlais, and it was song in french. I was moved by how beatifull it sounds in french... So i just sat there with my headphones on listening to the song 2 or 3 times until it stoped playing. Just sitting and listening that was the most fun part of the game for me, and ocasianally hearing the background tavern conversations and noises. It was truly a wonder for me. All my respect for the ones who writed, singed and created the instrumenal for this song.

[@TheCmDragon]

Pretty sure Andraste.

[@SGTcz90cz]

I'm pretty sure they mean Celene by that.

[@TheCmDragon]

***** Garrus? Also yeah, I believe you're right looking back on it. I was getting mixed up and thought Celene was Anora ( I have no idea why).

[@SGTcz90cz]

Cm Dragonfire Yup, that's indeed Garrus mo...fu...ing Vakarian, the most badass Turian in the galaxy. I've also analysed the song a bit more. "Empress of fire" does not contain anything but a referrence to the fact we're speaking about the Empress here. "In the reign of the lion" - this is the first suggestion we're talking about Celene. The Valmonts (Celene's family) have a lion in their family crest. "Eclipsed in the eye of" again, nothing in this line to clear who it is exactly. "The empire of we Orlesians" - this suggests we're talking about the Orlesian Empress (which was obvious enough from the fact that Orlais is the only country with an Empress/Emperor, rather than King/Queen) A little down the road in the lyrics, there's a... "Empress of Fire, Save us, everyone, The nation reviles, The course is but run, and the end has begun." These four lines refer to the Orlesian Civil War, I believe, as it's pretty much begging the "Empress of Fire" to "Save us, everyone" while "The nation reviles [Celene? Gaspard?]" and "The course is but run, and the end has begun," which possibly refers to the ball at the Winter Palace. The reason they call Celene an "Empress OF FIRE" could be because she torched the Halamshiral Alienage in The Masked Empire.

[@SirKittles]

***** Also, in the Masked Empire, her weapon of choice is a dagger that she wields with an enchanted ring that turns the blade aflame.

Am I alone to think that Celene is the female version of Louis XIV in Dragon Age ? Firstly, Orlesians speak French. Then, their reigns started with protests, the first is called "Empress of fire" or "the Lioness" and the second "Sun King". Finally, Louis XIV fighted the Protestants and Celene let elves in poverty, but they enhanced culture and trade.
