important facts about Philliam, a Bard! from The World of Thedas, Vol. 2

  • His full pen name is, actually, “Philliam, a Bard!”. The exclamation point is part of the pen name, and he gets pissy if you drop it.
  • He’s like the Buzzfeed of Thedas, editing up important articles and scholarly works for mass consumption by taking out all the boring parts and leaving mostly just the sex and violence.
  • He doesn’t belong to any of the academic or scholarly circles but is apparently rolling in cash because he uses a printing press instead of monks to mass produce his books. Also: wax and foil.
  • He and Brother Genitivi once got in an epic epistolary pissfight with each other through their editors.
  • After Genitivi complained loudly about his work being butchered, Philliam, a Bard! sent him money and wrote Genitivi a special thanks in the next book because Philliam, a Bard! has superduper big stones.
  • Philliam, a Bard!’s actual name is Philliam Bernard Aloicious Trevelyan, meaning he is in some way related to a Trevelyan Inquisitor.
  • He once wrote/edited a book all about the things in Thedas that could kill you that weren’t demons.
  • He’s my new favorite character in anything ever.

Dwarf-y stuff about the Stone and Orlais and Leliana

I've always been intrigued by the Nexus Golem you find in that cave on the Sundermount in DA2. Not only does it have some phenomenally expensive wares (and creepy ones, IIRC – I think it’s the shop where you can get the Belt of Elven Hair. Yuck.), it says some pretty cryptic things: 

We were once more than we are.
The Stone lives beneath Orlais. Mathas gar na fornen pa salroka atrast.

I don't know if anybody elsewhere in the series says "The Stone lives beneath Orlais" – I have a vague notion of Caridin saying it, but I may be misremembering – but I did find something interesting about these phrases in The World of Thedas, Vol. 2 – in Leliana's section, of all places.

The account of Carver at Ostagar, from the preview of World of Thedas: Volume 2. Copyright Dark Horse, BioWare, etc. 

Please note him having to be dragged screaming and crying from the battlefield by three of his fellow soldiers. Definitely puts his comment about “I’ve/we’ve been running since Ostagar” in an even sadder light.

When Leandra's first child was born, Gamlen received a letter from her. He read it and spent a day laboring over a reply, but was unable to produce a letter that didn't read like an accusation. Eventually, he locked Leandra's letter away in his desk and tried to forget."
