Missed opportunity to have the 'magical god-killing macguffin' weapon be Andruil's spear. Rather than have an idol somehow become a dagger (not to mention cleansed of the blight and somehow expect us to just accept this - no questions) it could be this?
Veilfire writing from a ruin in the Arbor Wilds; the script is so ancient it defies translation. There are whispers from the Well of Sorrows. It's impossible to understand the entire text, but certain parts suddenly reveal a shadow of their original meaning. "She shook the radiance of the stars, divided them into grains of light, then stored them in a shaft of gold. Andruil, blood and force, save us from the time this weapon is thrown. Your people pray to You. Spare us the moment we become Your sacrifice." There is a brief image of an elaborate golden spear, glowing with unbearable heat. Then it fades. Codex entry: Unreadable Elven Writing, DAI
She began stalking the Forgotten Ones in the Abyss and became mad from it.
Andruil put on armor made of the Void, and all forgot her true face. She made weapons of darkness, and plague ate her lands. She howled things meant to be forgotten, and the other gods became fearful Andruil would hunt them in turn. Codex entry: Elven God Andruil, DAI
She made weapons and hunted Gods? The Evanuris, according to this myth, were frightened enough that Mythal had to come battle her?
Also imagine Ghilan'nain being killed by Andruil's spear...raised to Godhood by Andruil's hand and then slain by the weapon forged by her hand???
#every time I think of the red lyrium idol being a dagger I think of that line from Crocodile Dundee#Solas looking at a regular dagger - “that's not a knife”#*holds up the lyrium idol* “this is a knife!”#adding this to my joplin fix it but thought it was interesting to think about#andruil was the coolest of the evanuris - her lore was impeccable and verged on eldritch horror vibes#datv critical? not really? I just think this is more interesting and requires less mental gymnastics#the ama saying that Solas cleansed the blight from a ritual - good job buddy you got one ritual right lmao#why can I not ask Solas about him CURING THE BLIGHT FROM THE IDOL? he's on speed dial in Rook's head but I guess whatever#solas' dagger does so much in the game but we know nothing about how it works? which is strange since we have it?#don't use your brain too much#datv spoilers
