I pity anyone studying history at univeristy of orlais trying to write their thesis during inquisition, with Inquisitor and the team stumbling over new historical facts every five seconds (tyrdda bright axe, here you go an entire saga and btw she was a mage; dragonology an entire text from ancient tevinter; whay happened at the red crossing here you go; dwarven ruins boom hissing wastes; INQUISITOR AMERIDAN)
"I can't wait to publish my paper on the collapse of the Kirkwall Circle and the Mage/Templar War! I'm so glad the conclave is next week and I can wrap it all up!" *conclave explodes in the distance*
No, legitimately though, it must be equally exciting and frustrating to be anybody in the research/educational field in Thedas when literally every ten minutes the Inquisitor is tripping over some new historical artifacts or history! Just giving a lecture and then having a dozen hands pop up to object because the Inquisitor discovered something a few days ago. And since the majority of those discoveries are related to the elves I imagine the Orlesian's would be annoyed as hell that they can't really 'control' the narrative or information getting out.
I thought it was really cool that we got to see a little bit of that in Jaws of Hakkon? I'm a sucker for history in general, so hearing Professor Kenric go on about buckles and using them to date battles/artifacts pleased my little nerd heart. I also loved his little mnemonic to remember the elven pantheon! Solas's terse "most people do" when Kenric says he's forgotten Fen'Harel makes me laugh every time.
I would have loved to have picked up a codex entry that was an excerpt of his book on Inquisitor Ameridan! In general, I love that DLC and Ameridan so much - that must have absolutely caused a riot at the university when it was revealed (if the inquisitor chose to). In general I think more media should incorporate archeology into it...it's just such a cool thing and a great world-building tool.
