First Blight lasted 200 years, fifth Blight lasted 1. The sixth one will last a week, and the seventh will end as soon as the Archdemon pops it's head out of the ground to find the Wardens already surrounding it. It will be the first recorded instance of an Archdemon verbally speaking, and it's only words will be "Ah, fuck."

Well, 2 things. 1, If I remember the wardens had maps of where the prisons were stored in Weishaupt, (I believe from a codex entry in DA:O, could be wrong.) 2, seasoned grey wardens say they can understand the Archdemon, so the name could be found from its commands I.E. "I Urthemiel hear by decree the surfaces shall fall to our grand might!" "My silence is broken, Hail the return of Dumat!" I like to imagine the dragon being very egotistical.

I hope we see a blight again in a future game. If we do though, there has to be something different about it. Maybe the darkspawn manage to reach BOTH of the last old gods. A final massive blight with twin Archdemons leading the horde. Maybe even set the blight up in one game, then the next game is several years later. Multiple countries have fallen, hordes of refugees, maybe even some previous characters die in the fighting. It'd be like that alternate future in DAI, but that's the actual game.

My guess is that the Sixth Blight will begin when either Solas or one of the Evanuris awakens the Sixth Arch Demon. As for the 7th Blight, take could take place 400 years in a new age, an era where theFereldan has become a steampunk empire, the Elves have a kingdom of their own in the remains of the Tevinter Imperium and began worshiping just Solas, the Orlesian Empire has been reduced to a 4 principalities, the Qunari still has holdings on Seheron, the Dwarves are forced out of their homes and wander like the Dalish once had and new races have occupied the Free Marches, Andersfel and Neverra such as the Kitsune (A race of humanoids with Fox Ears and Fox tail), the Gnomes (Who have pointy ears and purple skin), the Scalians (a race of blue skinned fish people that are just as beautiful, wise and might as the elves once were during the reign of the Elevhen Empire) and the Faunis (a race of wolf like humanoids with goat horns).

Probably the reason The World wasn't entirely corrupted was because,.. during the majority of that 192 Year Blight, the Dwarves suffered the most Losses (Considering they lost Countless Underground Thaigs before the Blight was even Acknowledged on The Surface)... and THEN the Darkspawn Surfaced for the First time, .... and you gotta keep in mind, that they SUCCEEDED in slaying The First Archdemon Dumat, they only failed at PERMANENTLY killing him, THEN they killed him Grey Wardens! So the First Blight was without a Doubt one of the Bloodiest!
@meganbarhorst52723 жыл бұрын
Yeah, the First Blight wasn't just focused on the surface, it had just as much civilization to fight in the form of the dwarves as it did the surface people above, so it's really like it was trying to destroy two worlds rather than just one. Plus, it seems each Blight is more concentrated than the last; along with being shorter, each successive Blight affects a smaller area but does more damage to it in that time. You may notice that previous Blight histories include long sieges on major cities and fortresses, yet the forces directed against Denerim (and to a lesser extent Ostagar) were so overwhelming that they bypassed the siege stage entirely. Urthemiel's Blight was such a concentrated tide of destruction that cities would simply be toppled directly rather than besieged, so the only option for the army was to try to form a wedge against the numeric superiority of the horde, isolate Urthemiel, and kill it before the Blight could gain real steam. Conversely, despite the defensive technology being demonstrably weaker back then than now (Cullen points out and then proves that Adamant Fortress is no match for modern siege equipment), Minrathous and Weisshaupt survived for a very long time under siege in the First and Second Blights respectively, implying the Darkspawn horde was simply too thin and spread out hitting so many countries at once for it to be overwhelmingly devastating in any particular place. The First Blight hit the entire continent weakly, the Second hit half the continent stronger, the Third hit the whole Free Marches pretty hard, the Fourth nearly burned Antiva to the ground, and the Fifth stood to lay absolute waste to every city it passed if not for the Hero of Ferelden.

This is probably a silly question…But how do Thedas historians know which Old God was the leader of which Blight? Is there some indication? Did the Archdemons announce which Old God they were?? Lol

The Wardens at Weisshaupt have a lot of secret information pertaining the Old Gods, they even know exactly where each prison is located

10 months late, but, the bulk of the imagery is from Dragon Age: Inquisition, with a few appropriate bits of Dragon Age: Origins thrown in

why don't the grey wardens find and protect the old gods from the dark-spawn
@set90347 жыл бұрын
Because they are not easily accessible as they are deep underground and the grey wardens would have to fight a great number of darkspawn in order to get to them.
@ZrodyApo6 жыл бұрын
My guess is that they don't know where exactly are the remaining old gods and searching for them in the deep roads would take too much time and effort, not to forget that they'll have to fight (nearly) limitless number of darkspawn and they need supply (food, water) and rest :P Also, the GW are subject to the calling and I don't remember in which game it was said exactly (Origins or Inquisition), but the nearer you are to the old god/archdemon, the louder the song will be

Jojisen the deep roads in Origins were one of my favourite part of the game, in DA2 it was lame and in Inquisition it was was good but I was disappointed that we didn't get a broodmother

Zyad Hakmi the deep roads were so long in Origins and repeated itself too much.

It's pronounced GO-LEM not GOLL-UM. A Golem is an artificially created creature of clay or stone, based off Jewish mythology. Gollum is the name of Smeagol in Lord of the Rings. They make the same mistake in DAO, it was so annoying.

I wish Bioware would add new things to the world and game without meddling with pre-existing rules and lore. Changing the Darkspawn and regulating certain clothing and armour to a "class" is so fucking stupid.
