She/Her. An old fart who loves history, scifi, & computer games. My current obsession is the Admiral (FFXIV). I mostly play FF XIV, SDV, & No Man's Sky. But other games may pop up (SWtOR & Dragon Age mostly). I write fanfic when I have time. I also reblog other things. 18+ only. Banner and icon art are my ffxiv characters, art courtesy of my DIL

the new trailer got me going insane because like

i didn't really think bioware would care enough about the dwarfs to do anything beyond 'yeah the veil is being weird and coming down so their resistence to magic will fade. Lets be honest; they haven't put much energy into truly expanding dwarf lore since origins (altho whoever wrote the Hissing Waste map I will love you forever).

But Harding isn't just doing magic in the trailer. She's doing stone magic. She's doing something similar to what Sandal could do with that ogre in the deep roads. She is raising stone and she is turning things to stone.

And this makes me INCREDIBLY hopeful and excited. Because we don't know when Dwarfs came to thedas but its very possible they were here prior to the veil sealing.

What if they worship the stone and the ancestors within it not just because they live in caves, but because they had rituals and magic that specifically was associated with it before. rituals and magic other races couldn't do. What if Harding isn't just getting magic, she's getting very specific dwarven magic which was lost when the veil was sealed.

I'm freaking out gang. Like. Sure elven lore expansions are gonna be fun in this game but I'm ALWAYS down to hear about the dwarfs PLEASE give me information about the dwarfs oh my god

I have to admit, the DA:Veilguard trailer looked really good. Now to see if the game lives up to it.

I almost screamed when I saw Morrigan appear; she looks SO good and she almost had to be involved because of Flemeth-Mythal. Hopefully, in Rook's favor. Though it's possible that choices in DA:I may influence whether she shows up at all.

My burning question is: will Kieran appear?? He ought to be almost 20 now, and he has to have been influenced by Urthemiel's power he carried for his first 10 years (if he did). If his grandmother was Mythal and he carried Urthemiel's power, it feels as if he could be a potential counter to the evanuris. Though since the conditions of his conception can vary, that might create too many branches in the story. I still wonder whether Flemeth-Mythal foresaw what Solas-Fen'harel would do and made contingencies. It's not the first time one of the evanuris betrayed her. Did she perhaps leave a seed of herself with Morrigan? Did she trick Solas into only taking Urthemiel's power? She's the one evanuri who likes people as they are and has lived through the ages since the Veil was created. (Solas, maybe, but he's very much a wild card and he doesn't consider himself part of this world.)

So many questions...
