Long time no see, all! I had to drop in because I nearly had an aneurysm over the teaser hashtag and hearing Solas' voice again! I also am going to sit here and peek in on what you all theorize from that new piece of art because I'm way too excited to critically think about it yet. I can't wait to be back in here and frantically watching every single tweet, leak, and piece of news about this game! When it gets into full pre-game swing again, at least, which is hopefully soon. I'd start analyzing right away, but somehow all I can hear in my head right now is still some variation of continuous AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! |

The video thumbnail shows more of the fresco. The land is on fire, including a tree behind (who I think is) mythal. Which si mythal's symbol. interesting. And is that a mountain behind the lyrium idol? More titan stuff? More credence that the blight stems from them? One of the devs posted a way larger mural for us to obsess over:  |

Looks like there's a structure to the left of the lyrium idol's circle. Int eh flames. An eluvian maybe?

Well, there's a burning, leafless tree on the left there (may be relevant because there's a definite tree motif connected to elves/ancient elves) - not sure about the grey thing. But... GUYS. Look at the ring around the idol. There are 7 half-circles there - 5 are greyed out and two are golden with a star in it. 50 BUCKS THOSE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE OLD GODS/ARCHDEMONS. |

Me earlier this year: I still love these games but at this point it's been so long that it'll take a lot to get me excited again. Even a DA4 announcement probably won't get to me too much.
Me five minutes ago, after a one minute teaser and one Solas line: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

The two gold orbs and two figures on the red lyrium idol, so maybe two old gods he wants to release? 5 are greyed out.
I don't know why, but this is making me think of Elgar'nan. I need to go refresh my memory on what he did with the sun in dalish legend.

I'll admit, I'm going kind of nuts right now reading too much into the orbs, Solas's shiny head, the sun? behind him, the scorched tree/Thedas and every other brush stroke in the painting....I do love right before a game comes out though and everyone starts throwing around crazy theories. We've been pretty starved. |

So, you've posted found me at last. I suspect you have questions.
So many questions!
And now, and now I feel excitement, the hype, the fresh obsession once again...
probably to only begin months and months of suffering as I desperately feed off of every piece of speculation and information released.

I need to go refresh my memory on what he did with the sun in dalish legend. Just to get the lore straight, the archdemons are corrupted old gods, right? Would make sense then if the half-circles represent the old gods: five past blights, two to go. Solas also reacted rather strongly to the idea to kill an archdemon before a blight to stop it from happening. But where is the connection between the old gods and ancient elves? Could be they were worshipped long before the Tevinter adopted that religion, but that doesn't explain how the Evanuris fit in. *confused* |

For some reason right now I've been thinking the Evanuris are the old gods/archdemons but I can't remember for the life of me if that was ever mentioned? I am thinking those orbs have to do with the old gods for sure though, even if the Evanuris have nothing to do with them.
EDIT: What really made me think of Elgar'nan was the scorched tree/fires, and a sun right behind Solas....I also really want to meet Elgar'nan though

I dunno why, but I wanna meet him too? lol I just feel like the guy could be interesting.
And as for the old gods = evanuris, that's never been confirmed. Its a theory some people have. I personally don't think so. Tied to the elves somehow, yes. Are the elven gods, no. Might be the Forgotten Ones. Might be something that predates the elven pantheon. We have old forum posts by Gaider saying the cult of the maker predates Andraste and the chantry, so the old gods predating Tevinter or Elvenhan isn't out of the realm of possibility to me.

I knooow, all that fire and the sun sphere gave me Elgar'nan vibes right away, and I thought that's who the figure was at first until i zoomed in scoping out stuff and was like ...oh that looks just like Solas' beautiful bald head. ps- hi monkey! ive missed ranting about Deadfire with you  |

You know, even after my two play-throughs I still haven't gone back to replay it, even after the DLC released. I was so busy and stressed for these past months, that when I would start up a new game I couldn't get into it or finish it, or even discuss gaming all that much. I now have at least five more new games, I haven't touched.
This dragon age teaser got me pretty excited though, so maybe I'll be able to rave about something soon.

I am thinking those orbs have to do with the old gods for sure though, even if the Evanuris have nothing to do with them. The Evanuris are likely not the Old Gods, the numbers and associated attributes don't add up (which could have changed over time, but still). They were already locked up by Solas by the time the Tevinter magisters corrupted them. Unless the Golden/Black City is the place in the Fade where they were held in the first place and the magisters got there anyway... hmm. So far I thought Solas created the veil to stop the Evanuris from whatever they were planing (something with the titans?), so tearing it down would bring them back into the game, even if that is not his actual goal.
