Cassandra: Perhaps the archdemons are pets for beings who no longer exist!
Solas: Whaaaat???? No that’s crazy?? Don’t be so crazy, Cassandra. Wild idea.
#THEY'RE HORCRUXES#ELVEN HORCRUXES#lmao how pissed were the devs when their twist ended up becoming mainstream with Harry Potter?#i had like a dozen theories and my fourteen year old self got it straight out the gate#maybe it's more complex - like Solas hinted - but we never get to ask about it -> so they're reduced to literal pets#they are literally Nagini with wings#let us *ask* questions about it - how does it work? how does the blight 'carry' their essence? what was the process of doing it?#even if it was planned it doesn't mean that they couldn't have changed it - and i really think they should have.#it needed to differentiate away from 'elven horcruxes' way more and be tied into the world/lore of thedas more than Solas simply telling us#Eg. mention red lyrium / the foci ball / heart of the titans / the abyss...something deeply related to the lore of thedas#RIP my theory of the Forgotten Ones attempting to assume godhood by taking the form of a dragon and being struck down/trapped in the form#driven mad in their imprisonment underground - their minds clawing to escape through the dreams of magisters#we get so little meaningful conversations about the lore dropped in this game - it's wild considering how well dai did exploring that#i am baffled i tell u...baffled!#datv critical#veilguard critical#(tagged for my mini essay in the tags lmao)
