This was so cool! Especially going through the timeline and trying to force it to make sense. Which, the idea being that ancient history will get muddied over time normally. I hope we get more information from some quarter in DA4.

Stumbling on your hannel for the new year has been an absolute blessing. I am loving these deep dives you're doing with other Dragon Age loreheads, and am very much looking forward to what else you have planned for us. About the Red Lyrium idol and how it can be used as a weapon. Is it possible it has something to do with Andruil? Solas tells us she was was a goddess of sacrifice, so the mages using it to kill slaves in rituals might have been right up there with why it was crafted. Andruil also wore armor of the Void, so it wouldn't be too out there if she also smithed weapons from it. The codex entry also tells us that the gods feared Andruil would hunt them in turn. All this to say that the reason the idol might be capable of defeating the 'Fell Wolf' (and perhaps other Evanuris) is because it was specifically crafted for the purpose of slaying/sacrificing gods.

AND, you have made me wonder if the elves approached the dwarves for their lyrium initially IN the form of a dragon.

Well done video Saeybin! i had so much fun tinfoiling with you about this Thaig!

This is a cool video. Also, huge fan of my friend, Lethalan. I'm actually playing DA2 now and I was up to the primeval thaig. So good timing on your part. This place really similar to the place we see in the descent DLC. In fact, my theory has been that the red lyrium idiol is the heart of the titan that lived in the primeval thaig. i'll just leave it there. =)

Thank you
