History WMG / DragonAgeInquisition

** Other possibility: they do things like in [[FireEmblemJugdral Genealogy of the Holy War]]: make [[spoiler: Kieran an important Teammate]] but also introduce [[spoiler: a replacement character to take his role if he was not conceived: if Kieran exists, this character is a NPC and perhaps the HeroOfAnotherStory, otherwise, he joins the party as one of the mages]]

* Sorta building on this Vivienne will become a BaseBreaker. One side will like her for being a strong female character and going after what she wants, others will dislike her for being hypocritical and selfish.

** Unless I'm mistaken, it is never explicitly stated that he died if you leave him. If BioWare wanted, they could easily say that he somehow escaped.

** While that would be lovely, this would have to be sadly Jossed unless BioWare pulls TheOtherDarrin: Robin Sachs (the voice of the Experienced Human) passed away during the DLC cycle of ''VideoGame/MassEffect3''.

** I believe BioWare has said they don't plan to officially confirm or deny the existence of the Maker ever.

* Related: Cole will be a potential romantic interest, but only if you [[spoiler:sided with Varric to make him more human]]. He'll go through several rounds of WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove and general confusion. Then, because this is BioWare, something tragic will happen.

* Why? Three reasons. First is they already did this with Creator/FeliciaDay and Stirling is clearly a fan. Second is her video quite likely helped sell quite a few copies of the game and this would be a nice way of BioWare saying thank you. Third there is an in game or in music video explanation as to why: The Inquisitor loses The Mark at the end of ''Trespasser.'' Who finds something similar? Stirling...imagine it, you are not the Savior of Thedas, she is, and your job is to protect her. Plus with Leliana well and truly out of said role by now Stirling would be a great Bard replacement.

** If you read the Astrarium Codex it MAY lead some credence to this theory as it mentions [[spoiler: Tenebrium is attributed to both Falon’Din AND Lusacan. Of course it also mentions that Silentir is linked to Mythal and Dumat making this more confusing...]]

** Taking this one step further [[spoilers: the Elven Gods might have been what Keiran had been, a mortal mage who houses the soul of an Old God not unlike the Abominations of demonic possessions. This could explain why the Evanurius went mad in the end if what befell them was any similar to Anders, gone mad with power or their purpose was corrupted by the weak hearts of mortals. Mythal was the only one who remained relatively sane and moral which is why Solas is so loyal to her: she literally was the best of them as she wasn't overcome by deprivation. Which means the Eighth Old God stricken from history would be Flemeth as that's exactly what happened to Mythal! She was struck down by seven of the Evanuris. By creating the Veil these seven were banished to the Fade. From within the Fade they may have only been able to influence the world as Spirits and Demons do by possessing others only instead of people they possessed Dragons this time around, which means in a sense the Chantry was right claiming these were not gods but spirits. Of course whether the original spirits that possessed the Evanuris were actual spirits or gods...]]

* Dumat, the Dragon of Silence and the archdemon of the First Blight=Dirthamon, the god of Secrets, who gave the elves the gift of knowledge. May match up with Dumat giving away knowledge of blood magic. Zazikel, the Dragon of Chaos and the archdemon of the Second Blight=Anduil, who's codax in Mythal's temple says she went mad, known as "blood and force." Toth, the Dragon of Fire and the archdemon of the Third Blight=Elgar'nan, god of the sun (fire?) and vengeance. Sylaise, the harthkeeper<-fire. She gave the elves fire and taught them to heal. Andoral, the Dragon of Slaves and the archdemon of the Fourth Blight=June, the god of crafts. Slaves would be in charge of doing such work one would think. Urthemiel, the Dragon of Beauty and the archdemon of the Fifth Blight=Sylaise, god of domestic arts. Sister to Andruil. Razikale, the Dragon of Mystery=Dirthamen, the keeper of secrets. Lusacan, the Dragon of Night= Falon'Din, the god of the Beyond and twin to Dirthamen. Mythal, who is Flemeth and Solas, who is Fen'Harel. Ghilan'nain is harder to place as the mother of monsters and halla, and goddess of navigation. Night, on a stretch. Chaos, as something that monsters cause. Slaves, as she may have once been one before being raised to goddesshood.

In the fourth game, [[spoiler: Solas/Fen'Harel]] will instead occupy a role similar to the Architect in the plot: a third party wildcard element that you may or may not ally with, and may or may not be able to convince to work with you. The true antagonists will be the Evanuri, the elven god-like beings who were so drunk with power that they murdered the only one among them sane enough to clean up their excesses when they harmed others. The Veil must fall to enact Spoilery Character's plan to eliminate them, but what happens afterwards depends on how you handle Spoilery Character.

[[WMG:[[spoiler:Solas/Fen'Harel]] will not be the main antagonist in the fourth game.]]

** Jossed. Evangeline doesn't even show up in person, other than on a War Table mission and it's entirely possible to let her die if you make the wrong decision.
*** Not jossed. There is no wrong decision in that short War Table mission chain, there is only "not doing the war table mission in the first place". There are some potential ways that Rhys and Eva can extricate themselves from the predicament they're in without Inquisition intervention.

* This may look less likely, as it seems Sandal's ominous portent may have been referring to Solas's intent with the Veil.

*** [[spoiler:The war table mission in question cannot be botched, but merely not carried out. Rhys might be able to extricate Evangeline without Inquisition aid. Furthermore, concerning the Spirit of Faith that revived her after she was killed by Lambert, if the Player went off the rails in DA:O and killed Wynne, it will simply be another Spirit of Faith that was watching Eva much as the Wynne's did before its intervention.]]

It was shown with Khorne choosing [[VideoGame/DawnOfWar Azariah Kyras]], a Chief Librarian, and later even elevating him even into an incredibly powerful Daemon Prince. If you believe Khaine is a form of Khorne, it would also mean Gaxkang also doubles as Khaine, especially since it's practically stated Gaxgang and the rest of the Forbidden Ones started out as elves. Gaxkang's sword, is called the ''Keening Blade'', which sounds quite similar to ''The Wailling Doom'', and ''Windowmaker'', names of Khaine's swords, or of Knorne's sword, ''Woebringer''.

* Dirthamen may be Morr, especially his probably older, elven version Sarriel. Both Sarriel/Morr and Dirthamen are gods of sleep and dreams, brothers to gods of death(Khaine for Sarriel, and Falon'Din for Dirthamen), and both are associated with Ravens. Alternatelly, Dirthamen may be a male version of Lilieath, the goddess of dreams, or possibly Morai-Heg, goddes of Prophecy. Another possibility is that Dirthamen, Sarriel/Morr, Morai-Heg and Lileath, are different forms or descriptions of the same being.\\

* Gaxkang may Khorne, as both are the most directly martial of their groups, with Gaxkang appearing as an armored Revenant with a sword and shield. While Gaxkang has a mage form, and Khorne normally disdains sorcerers, it was explained that Khorne doesn't disdain magic/psyker abilities in general, but sorcery, which draws power from the Warp, ie anoutside source, while magic/psyker abilities may be completely internal, own abilities and energy of the psyker/mage, and a form of personal strength, not “borrowed”, like sorcery.\\

* Also, if Geldauran of the Forgotten Ones isn't one of the 4 Forbidden Ones above, Geldauran, seeing his hate of the very concept of godhood, may be Necoho or Malal.
