So do you think we will see more of the Ancient Magisters in DA4 or beyond?

We already had Corypheus, so the next game may head in another direction entirely. The Architect could be dead (and Dragon Age really needs to stop resurrecting people from the dead simply because the developers don't plan things ahead).


Some non-Andrastian options for the main character would be nice.

To be honest, I think the "A Different Darkspawn" codex implies they turned on each other. Most of them are dead.

I want the one who was called something like the Madman of Chaos.
He probably wasn't all there to begin with so perhaps the Golden City didn't do such a number on his brain.

From the codex, it sounds like one is dead (and eaten) of the 3 listed there, though it's entirely possible they just possessed new bodies (same with the Architect if you "killed" him) and are still running around.

I think it is inevitable given enough time we'll see (whomever remains) of the Magisters Sidreal. But for now, there are other other mysteries to delve into - the Evanuris, the Scaled Ones, Titans...

Well, since they built up Razikale (Slightly) in both base DAI and JoH im reasonably sure that we will have at least a mention of the Augur at some point in DA4. What better place to set them up than their homeland after all. It could also be that the Augur is elven and actually supports Solas plan.

Even before the Imperium, Razikale was the main patron goddess of the kingdom of Tevinter. I believe she also specifically was patron of Minrathous. So, given the increased attention that has been given to her, I'm pretty sure she will figure somewhere in the next game, if only through a dragon cult dedicated to her.

As for the Magisters who went to the Golden City, we only have Hessarian's word on it that all of the high priests did go/were in favour of it and even if they were all involved, their worshippers may not have approved. The entry in JoH about her worshippers trying to re-establish contact seemed to suggest that they were doing something independent to the priesthood. "Those who should guide us instead wage war upon each other, vying for a throne that does not exist." I think the "throne that does not exist" may refer to the "seat of the Maker" in the Golden City, which is interesting because had Razikale suggested to them at an earlier date that the throne of the gods did not lie in that city.

I'm hoping that they will start to reveal why the Old Gods fell silent when they did. It seems strange that their worshippers were accustomed to making contact with them in their dreams and this abruptly stopped even before the 1st Blight. Was Dumat conspiring against everyone in encouraging the assault on the Golden City in order to bring about their ruin? Why was he known as the God of Silence? Also Luscacan the god of night and thus by implication darkness, would seem to be involved, although Razikale is also said to be the "Shadow that obscures the path ahead" (A mystery to be discovered).

"Silence has fallen". "Save us from the silence which devours." (Both pointing to Dumat and the last very sinister).
"The paths ahead are lost in darkness and those who walk them find only ruin." (Lusacan interfering in some way?)
"Run if you can. Madness has filled the silence." (Zazikel getting in on the act perhaps?)

Or were these things all the work of Razikale, the goddess of mystery, who wished to keep certain things from being known?

Then we have Flemeth's words about Kieran. He has the soul of an ancient being "snatched from the jaws of darkness."
We also have Corypheus' memories. "They ......claim we brought the darkness. We discovered the darkness. We claimed it as our own, let it permeate our being." So it would seem the darkness is related to the Blight and Flemeth/Mythal was trying to prevent all the Old Gods from being claimed by it.

I hope we start getting some answers to these mysteries once we get to the city of the Goddess of Mystery.

I don't think it's too necessary. Corypheus is pretty much the pinnacle of what darkspawn-magisters can be. If they do decide to go that route, I hope the next one isn't too antagonistic and maybe even ally with us.

Solas too is pretty hell bent on not seeing the Old Gods destroyed, he clearly fears the blight and it's power but no the Old Gods themselves. When the Grey Wardens seek to destroy the old gods in a pre-emptive attack to negate future blights, in DA:I Solas gets as worked up as I've seen him. I assumed at first, that this was due in part to the fact, that without the call of the old goods, the blight might never end, that Solas could see a blight without direction that would consume the world.

But someone on another forum made mention, that perhaps, the old gods have some connection with the banished Evanuris. Now it's a thought we've all had, but the more I see of the story the more compelling the idea is becoming. Are the old gods, dragons to whom either the Evanuris of the Forgotten ones, have been bound to? Are they seprate and distinct? Or one and the same. I could imagine the Evanuris, trapped, whispering to early humans and teaching them of magic and becoming the Old Gods of early Tevinter. Flemeth/Mythal certainly seek to recover their souls (though for what purpose?) and Solas would seem to wish to preserve them. I really wish we had the option to actually question companions in DA:I.

Then theres the Titans, the source of Lyrium, now I'm guessing it was the war between the Titans and the Evanuris, that Solas refers to, as being the point at which the Evanuris went from being, mage-kings to Gods in the eyes of the elvhenan. The already powerful Evanuris, magical powers bolstered by lyrium, in a pre-veil world, would have made them supremely powerful beings. But the Evanuris, discovered something else that, could destroy the world. I'm guessing that is the blight or red lyrium. Perhaps the result of killing Titans, who knows. So many unanswered questions.

Of course Solas doesn't wish those things dead he can literally eat them
to increase his powers,he prefer for them to be in his belly.

he wasn't angry because of the false gods,he was angry because the GW wanted to create an army of demons,which means that many spirits(the people of Solas)would have been twisted.Spirits for Solas are more important than anything they are like brothers to him.

If he denies that than he was just Lying,unless killing old gods means create Archdemons.
