Dragon Age: Absolution (Netflix Animated Series)

Oh, I thought you meant the blood drawing. NVM


Flemeth: Must I be in only one place? Bodies are such limiting things.

An original story with animation for better visuals from dwarves, qunari and magical creatures is what I've always wanted from a dragon age tv series.

I'm excited!

looks like a rocky barren sort of area and that looks like the head of a huge andraste statue.

So I'd guess Anderfels, their big on big andraste statues and the terrain looks right.

Doesn't look like it's on an island nor is the floating circle/razikale temple visible. Vyrantium is next to a river close to the coast, and atleast one building had domes, but it's floating aqueduct isn't visable either. Could be another coastline Tevinter City. Like Asariel or Marnus Pell (perhaps even Carastes or Neromenian if it's set before the qun took them).

It's a classic!

DA fans are gonna be happy; this show is Dragon Age to its core. But it’s also a great entry point for new fans of the franchise. Can’t wait for you to see! 🐉⚔️🏰

(I know. Predicting that fans are gonna be happy is dangerous business. But I really believe it!!)

No obvious insignias or affiliations... I wonder if they are Lords of Fortune?

If that's the direction they're going for with the protag in DA:D, then this would be a good way to introduce that organization to a wider audience.

Now the assumption would be that those are dragon heads or could it be a reference to when Mythal turned herself into a great serpent in order to entice Andruil into a confrontation with her? The serpent waited at the base of a mountain, possibly encircling it, or may be it is recalling how she encircled Andruil. I hadn't seen that art before but the fact it was in Flemeth's lair in the Fade and the other story was recorded in the Temple of Mythal, might point to a link between them. I've long suspected that Andruil was one of the chief instigators in Mythal's murder and she certainly would have had a grudge against her, along with Falon'Din, who is the other god who had a major confrontation with Mythal.

It will be interesting to see if the ring is totally unconnected to the elves or finally confirms the link between the Evanuris and the Old Gods.

It has to be in the Dragon Age and can't be before the freeing of Corypheus because they specifically mention Red Templars being involved. In fact, they only emerged as a threat after the exploding Chantry and Meredith going into melt down. So, whilst it is possible there could be a flash back to ancient times, the principle action is going to be after 9:38.

Now Varric, Isabella, Alistair and Maevaris were involved with defeating the dragon cultist, Aurelian Titus on Seheron in the period between 9:38 and 9:40, so this story could be set around that time but further south. In which case, any of the main coastal cities of Tevinter could come into play. However, I think it is far more likely this is going to be another link story into Dreadwolf and even if the plot is unconnected, it will introduce characters we are going to encounter in the game.   If that is Bharv, then likely it takes place after his story in Tevinter Nights, so some time between, say, 9:45 and 9:52, when we assume Dreadwolf will be taking place.   It can't be earlier than that because Bharv met with Vaea as she was heading north into Tevinter (confirmed by the writer of the comics) and this was after the Exalted Council at the end of 9:44

May be the ring is going to be important in some way, though. Bharv's group was asked to recover that healing amulet which was then passed to the Inquisition via Vaea, so likely to feature as an item we can use. The ring could be a similar item. Perhaps it can prevent mind reading by a certain person, or prevent petrification, or may be some other function that has yet to be revealed.

It wouldn't be the first time. Cassandra began life in an animated series, Cole came from Asunder and whilst we didn't get a companion specifically from Masked Empire, Celene, Gaspard, Briala, Michel, Mhris and Imshael all feature in DAI as major NPCs. So long as they don't expect players to have watched the series to know the characters, I don't have a problem with that. That said, I did read Masked Empire and assumed my Dalish spy would have done his background research on the first three before he attended the Winter Palace Ball. He knew what Celene had done to the elves of Halamshiral so that did inform his decision.  Fiona had also appeared in two books, the Calling and Asunder.   I didn't read the former and the Fiona in DAI seemed so different to the one in Asunder, that I discounted any previous knowledge I had of her.

I think the characters in the TV series are likely to be new ones, at least where previous games are concerned, so they don't upset fans by depicting them differently to how we have experienced them.  It is possible there may be some cross over between Tevinter Nights and Absolution but we shall have to wait and see.
