THE 'BLACK CITY' THAT THE TEVINTER MAGISTERS (Magisters Sidereal) BROKE INTO ALL THOSE CENTURIES AGO. SOLAS CONFIRMED THAT WAS HIS PRISON FOR THE EVANURIS!!!

i am speechless.

Sometimes Magister Dorian Pavus also needs a break from his duties, during which he thinks about those who mean the most to him

"And so is the Golden City blackened With each step you take in my Hall. Marvel at perfection, for it is fleeting. You have brought Sin to Heaven And doom upon all the world."

An old graphic about Magister Maevaris Tilani. I love her so much 💙

Losing it over that very slight pause before Harding says “what relic?” where you just know she’s thinking “oh, so he’s dead dead.”

☀️ Greetings from the Western Approach ☀️

Science bros including @shivunin's Maria and Bonnie the crash test dummy skeleton (who was provided a dress and a ribbon isn't she pretty) took a picture to send back to families. You know. Good old postcards.)

I had fun writing this prompt with Maria that I wanted to draw them all together. And not only them. *spoiler*

yeah yeah veilguard is not set in south thedas so circle plot lines won't be as prominent whatever I still think there's a huge lack of any like. interesting political conflict at all

i know I keep hyperfixating on the Solas/Ghilan'nain flashback but there is SO MUCH to unpack there and I want to talk about the VERY FIRST THING we see when we start the FIRST GAME. (DAV spoilers ahead)

The VERY FIRST

This is the very first thing we learn about the entire setting of the game. It's the foundational piece for the Chantry's concept of sin. And as we learned in one of the random Veilguard videos, The Chantry's interpretation is completely fucking wrong.

The Blight not only predates the first Archdemon, it predates the creation of the Veil and the sundering of magic into The Fade. It dates back to late period Elvhenan.

So where did the Canticle of Threnodies originate? Hint: NOT THE CHANTRY.

Slave uprisings? Oral tradition? Hmm, which people relied near-exclusively on oral tradition for centuries? Who did Tevinter primarily enslave? Who has a history of slave uprisings that predates Tevinter itself? Elves. What happened to the Elves of Arlathan after it fell? Enslaved in the founding of modern day Tevinter.

Ancient Tevinter Slaves (hint: Elves) have an ancient oral dirge about a "golden city" being "blackened", and about a singular pissed off narrator telling someone that their every step blackens the city and brings doom upon the world.

A dirge primarily sung during slave uprisings. Whose big thing was a massive slave uprising or uprisiings in Elvhenan and Arlathan?

I posit that Canticle of Threnodies 8:13 is the Chantry's translation/appropriation of Solas telling off the Evanuris once and for all, and was part of his final rebuke to them before trapping them in the Golden/Black City (Arlathan) and sealing the city off and creating the Fade.

The warning survived into Elven oral tradition as they were then enslaved by the humans in the founding of Tevinter. When the Magisters then breached the Black City and found the blight waiting for them (as Corypheus confirms, although I wonder where the Evanuris were hiding), it was retconned to apply to the Magisters when the original sin...was the Evanuris.

(PS: There are literally dozens of these examples of history retcon all throughout Thedas in past games.)

Hope we'll meet the Queen in Minrathous 🩵

//be me trying to figure out how Gale could fit into DA

think of Gale fucking Andraste

think of nothing else lmao

[lyriumsings]

i think the critique of lucanis being referred to as the ‘mage killer’ is so silly. he was given the name while in tevinter,,,hunting venatori,,,basically a mage supremacist group,,the moniker was given to him,,,by citizens of tevinter,,,a country ruled by mages,,,,and he killed 8+ mages,,,yeah he a mage killer SKAJSJ

The Vulpes Family in 9:52 Dragon.

This was my Dragon Age OC, from the Fic my sister and I wrote almost 8 years ago. I shipped her with Cullen.

Venifer Vulpes was Senior Enchanter in the Circle of Vyranthium in the Tevinter Imperium and a Would be-Magister. Before she became Magister, her sister Aelia had the idea to go travel the South of Thedas, beforehand - then the Explosion at the Conclave happened and they joined the Inquisition.

After the Inquisition was disbanded, Cullen came to Tevinter with her, they married and had a son, who is a mage as well.

This is them at the Start of Veilguard.
