Theory Video #1: The Sun is Dragons

I don’t mind the elves being involved, but I’ve never liked the idea that virtually every source of ancient power was elven.  Hence I don’t like the theory that the Old Gods are the physical forms of the elven gods or the forgotten ones.  I’d rather they be their own thing, as I propose in this theory.

I do find it interesting just how unexplored Dragons are in the lore of a series called “Dragon Age”

Thanks! And neither am I honestly, when it comes to theory crafting. I’m not sure how many of these I have in me, but I wanted to try something a little more casual and different.

I just finished DAO for the first time in years, so I’m also thinking of trying my hand at a review as well.

It might come from originally experiencing the game through Xbox 360, but I barely bothered to use it myself, so no worries about that. I will probably end up being objective in saying “it’s good, if x is your thing” on a lot of things.

I'm not entirely convinced that dragons were the ancient enemy that the Evanuris defeated on their rise to power but it does make an interesting theory and let's face it speculation is all we have to go on at present.

If the writers are still keeping to an original over-arching background lore that is underpinning everything, then it would certainly fit with aspects of elven myth and also Yvanna's declaration that "the blood of dragons is the blood of the world". She also seemed to intimate that in destroying dragons, humans were inadvertently bringing about their own doom. Why that should be is rather less clear to me but that is possibly connected with how to combat the Blight.

However, it may well be that history is being constantly evolved by the writers from original vague ideas. For example, what was revealed about Titans and their connection with lyrium in the Descent would suggest that their blood is the blood of the world. Although it is possible that dragons are connected to them in some way. The codices associated with the dwarves in the Hissing Wastes referred to the fact that dwarves seemed to have a natural fear of dragons that would be odd for a race that had always allegedly lived underground. That could be because the Evanuris took dragon form but I suppose it could also be that the reason the dwarves originally stayed underground was because "dragons ruled the skies" on the surface. Of course that could also refer to the Fade that is constantly referred to as the sky in ancient lore.

Anyway, as always, I enjoyed the video and it is certainly a theory that is not totally implausible on the basis of what we already know.
