@@tylerboyce4081 ya that's how i always thought of it, but technically the name Thedas wasn't an official name until Andraste started fighting back against the imperium. the chantry as we know it wasn't founded until after the long war with Tevinter, as it was she who established it, but the name wasn't her idea. she originally wanted to form an Inquistion as a way to bring peace to the elves after freeing them and other humans who were also held as slaves, which is why the Inquisitor was viewed a certain way. it's kind of understandable, because Andraste was a leader type as well. but sometime after her death, the people couldn't figure out what name to call themselves. what Andraste meant by magic exist to serve man, not rule over him, she never meant for mages to be taken away from there homes. what she meant was, don't use certain magic that can control people, but because of the bad practice of blood magic which even Andraste condemned, the people just developed a fear overtime because of what happened, and i feel that's what led to the chantry name. once Andraste was gone, they had nobody with that type of leadership to guide them. eventually the whole magic exist to serve man took on a life of it's own. but that's what happens with people, the Maker wasn't even a concept to Andraste because even she knew about the old gods. the Maker was something the chantry eventually came up with, because none of those people knew anything about the old gods. so to them Andraste had to be blessed by somebody, but i think we know by now who the Maker really is, and it's not who the chantry think is.

As a dragon age fan who priced together a lot of the lore from codex entries and dialogue from characters like Morgan and Solas, this was a great summary of the history of the world. It’s absolutely bonkers how much the lore in this series rivals that of other high fantasy IPs, but it doesn’t get the love it deserves due to…EA being EA.

The animation quality is superb, but the character development feels forced, instead of happening organically. It's also a bit cringe and off-putting that the writers made four out of the seven or so main characters gay. I have nothing against LGBTQ, but did it really need to focus so prominently with the majority of the characters, in the first episode?

In a way, the Elvhen empire was a bit like the Rakatan Infinite Empire. One built their civilization upon magic, while the other relied on the Dark Side. Both were really into infighting, slavery, and fell when they lost their mojo, which made most of their stuff unusable or inaccessible.

Hmm that is actually very true, I didn't really look at the magic users in DA that way, Thanks. I guess that magic gives it users more power and in so, more ways to inforced their will upon others and commit such evil doings. Magic on its own is not evil but ever since First and Second Sin we have magic users who turned their back to the maker and started worshiping other things, similar theory can be seen in almost all religions. And in the end we have Tevinter Empire mage-rulers who became same as there Elf counterparts years ago, history is a cycle.

"June" is pronounced like "Ju-nay". You also used a lot of unconfirmed or speculative fan theories. For example, there are several hints as to where the City of Arlathan was, not just the one where it was in the Arlathan forest. Another would be that it was where now Lake Calenhad is. The Elvhen empire was certainly not limited to the Arlathan forest. There are Elven ruins as far south as the Arbor Wilds and there's the ruin of a Temple of Dirthamen in Orlais east of Val Royeaux.

I am so happy to see you make videos on Dragon Age. Those games have the best lore I ever saw (a personal opinion) and there is so much to cover. The only thing I would like to say is that Arlathann was not the only city to survive the apparition of the Veil. Basically the cities were linked not by roads but by portals that became mostly useless because of the Veil. The cities came separated and disapeared one after the other and Arlathann is apparently the last. However it is also proved that Temples and some particular locations, linked to the elvhen gods survived even until the events of dragon age III (the Mythal Temple for exemple). The thing is that, as an ongoing serie, the lore is quite open. It is never stated how many elvhen cities and temples survived after the Veil apparition. The elvhen of the Mythal Temple were still immortals, because of "spoilers" and could fend off intruders for milleniums after the Veil. Cities could have also survived in hidden and forgotten areas for the elvhen was not linked physically. This communication issue also explain why the Arlathann elves left and hide themselves in the forest when humans arrived for they realised they were completely alone and had real issues coming back to their senses and adapt to their new reality. So we really don't know the situation of old elvhen in Thedas. Still when Arlathann fall many elvhen survived too and we also don't know what happened to them. The History of Elves is stil full of holes that will most likely have answers in the next game "Dreadwolf" that seems to focus on Tevinter AND Elvhen (that are obviously there to avenge themselves). Yes Tevinter is not ready for what is coming (play Trespasser to fully understand how BIG the elvhen resurgence is)

I'm watching DA Absolution on Netflixs now and I have to say I'm disappointed. I still love the series but I can't but feel like it has lost its way. I really hope DAD is a return to form, but with so many of Bioware OG's that made Kotor, Mass Effect, and DA gone I can't help but feel worried. EDIT: Sorry rereading all that and I realized I ended on a negative note. Regardless on how I feel for the direction of the series so far its lore and mysteries are amazing! I can't wait to learn more about the hidden stuff.

Dragon Age Inquisition is the first Dragon age game I ever played. Was fun but doesn't really slap the same when you don't know the lore. Look forward to this series while I wait for the next Dragon age game!

I took a deep dive in the lore before playing inquisition ( my first dragon age game ) and was sad to see the Tevinter wasn’t featured that much in the game. Tevinter was my favorite faction and I wished as a mage player I could of interacted with the magestrate

I have played every dragon age game, read every dragon age novel, watched every movie and show. Man, this lore dump blows those away for my understanding of the timeline. Still, the downside of a lore dump like this is it removes the mystery from the games. Would it make sense to put a spoiler warning? Like, a huge reveal in DAI is that Fen Harel made the veil. I would absolutely love to see more dragon age lore related to the dwarves and all of the thaigs lost in the deeproads

Given how Solas himself says at the start of DA:inquisition that everything can be true in the Fade, I am still of the idea that he is just a trickster-god like the Dalish have believed him to be. Those memories we see in the Fade-DLC with all the qunari are just viewing the Elven Gods as to be cruel, while they at the same time can be viewed as good by others. If anything he could just be fooling the pleb-elves into doing his bidding. If we get the chance to crack his stupid egg-head in the next game, I will not hesitate for one second xD

I wonder what are you going to do when narrating the events of the games. You could make it obscure, like your Elder Scrolls video, or choose certain decisions as more canon appropiate, like the games part of the Witcher. But some of the decisions in Dragon Age in general are so world altering, deciding if a king gets to rule or not, deciding if a faction gets genocided or not, that it's difficult to overlook them without great mention.

I can only guess they'll either cover some events very generally or pick a consensus choice like Bhelen becomes king of the dwarves and go with that.
