Tevinter Nights - Spoiler Thread

One thing I know for certain: some people in another forum weren't quite happy knowing that Dorian went from being a flawed character (in the sense that he was pro-slavery even though he was a perfectly charming fellow) to suddenly having paid servants rather than slaves.

Ha, I'm busy this weekend and will likely only get through a few chapters (reading them in order and basically read those first few on my commute over Thursday/Friday) so you may be there before me 

To me that would make perfect sense. In his conversation with us he admits that he never even thought about the issue of slavery until he came south. Why should anyone brought up among the Tevinter elite? Whilst I was unhappy at the time that I couldn't rebuff his pro-slavery arguments more, it stands to reason that prolonged exposure to the anti-slavery stance of the majority of the inner circle would make him start to question his values. Dorian is an intelligent, thoughtful, caring individual who often demonstrated a willingness to consider another viewpoint in his exchanges with others in our party, so to be honest it would surprise me if he hadn't reconsidered his stance on slavery after his time with the Inquisition.

I'd also add that in my fan fiction I have my Inquisitor lover influence him into freeing his slaves and making them paid servants instead (if that is their wish).

Here the author kindly provided what I believe is the most detailed spoiler for the book (and Dread Wolf Take You especially). Who is like me and doesn't care that the book comes out really soon, can dive in

Oh interesting info about the idol. Could this be the key that Solas has lost?

Also, does this means Solas has something to do with the Blight, as the idol is Red Lyrium.

Oh and Solas, dude, you aren't doing anything to help how Elves are perceived by the rest of the population.

Doesn't seem that way so far.

Me after reading the spoilers



I'm ready to meet some Executors in DA4, though I'm unsure what to make of them: Solas says they are dangerous, and that the Inquisition should be vary of them, but is he cautious about them himself, or is he just trying to steer the Inquisition away from too much bullshit, or is this some kind of a mind game for him? Are they powerful, are they any kind of threat, who are they a threat to?

Hopefully Fog Warriors will appear as well.

Also suicide bombing and suicide pills? I wonder if Solas approves of this suicidebombing, or whether there's a sect of absolute fanatics that's going around blowing people up.

Solas is starting to sound a bit too all powerful with crazy bullshit powers tbh. I'm not sure I like that.

Regarding Solas approving or not of the suicide-bombing: remember that Gaius in Deception traded the idol to House Danarius for information.

The idol that Solas needed.

Suffice to say, I don't think Solas oversees everything that's going on, and that leaves room for some bonafide fanatics to blow shit up in the name of ELVEN GLORY^TM.

The cheaper one, something like 8 $

Most of this is good, but there are certainly a few things that bug me. I don’t know if it’s the actual story or just the person summing it up losing context, but for example the Genetivi story sounded like it confirmed the Maker isn’t real despite BioWare saying they were never going to say one way or the other.

Just poorly phrased. Genetivi has like an emotional crisis of faith because some of the new developments in Thedas and that they're finding don't match exactly what the Chantry teaches e.g. The Maker didn't make the Veil, Solas did. He's upset because he's spent his entire life faithfully recording all these details about everything from a very Andrastian lense, when obviously the reality of the world isn't quite as he thought. BioWare don't state anything about the reality of the Maker in there.


What else needs clarified or are you confused about?
