Lace Harding - Official Companion Thread [Spoilers]

Here's a further thought.

Further thought:

Good points, to you both! However, yes, let's not derail this thread about the lovely Lace Harding further

When I first saw her character descriptor I assumed it was something to do with the former in view of what happened with Valta and they seem to be roused from their slumber by influx of Fade magic, so if the Veil was weakening and allowing more through, as appeared to happen in the trailer because of all the demons, then it stands to reason a Titan might awaken, start searching for its children and then happen upon Lace.

However, in view of the additional information concerning the interrupted ritual, it might well be that it also affected Lace because of being in the area. After all, it would seem that Rook is affected regardless of whether they are a dwarf, so why not Lace?

I appreciate the upgrade she got. Lace's gone from a dull blonde to a full blown red and she seems to have a lot less forehead now.

Ok important question how many Hinterlands jokes will Bioware write for Harding?

Come on, Trick, the first thing anyone would notice is a dwarf doing magic, not that she's an apostate. Imagine them trying to report her to the Templars. "I've just seen that dwarf doing magic." "Hold it right there, dwarves can't do magic." "But...."
On the other hand, perhaps Harding is now the Sandal replacement. From what I recall, Bhodan said that the Circle in Ferelden were taking rather too much interest in Sandal's abilities, so they decided to leave. We never did discover exactly how he killed all those darkspawn in Fort Drakon or demons in the Gallows, not to mentioned the crystalised ogre. However, it looked suspiciously like magic to me.
Anyway, Harding is safe enough in Tevinter, they like mages there and dwarves. She's got it made.

Looks like we can expect to see Harding at some point riding on the shoulders of Taash as they plunge into battle.

I don't think the Titans possess people but the one in the Descent seemed to demonstrate that they did have some sort connection with the dwarves that Mythal severed. Then the Veil added to this by giving them amnesia, as it seemed to do to most of the races since no one seemed to remember fully what happened before it, just fragments. The fact that Bohdan originally found Sandal in the lower Deep Roads, far from any thaig, let alone Orzammar, was odd in itself but then there is the strangeness that he couldn't communicate verbally except in rather cryptic ways but did seem to have a talent for both magic and enchantment. Also, there seemed a suggestion in one of his monologues in DA2 that Flemeth was trying to find him. Also, you will recall he went wandering off into the Deep Roads during Hawke's expedition there, as though perhaps he was looking for something but couldn't quite remember what. So, it was probably just as well that he went off grid and I like to think he did find his way back to a Titan and they were both a lot happier as a result.
