Hope this is no way related to Dragon Age Dreadwolf time period Really don't want to have a bunch of important game characters end up being spin offs of a TV series or vice versa. For what it’s worth, I doubt this will be the case. It could be like Cassandra, in that the show provides a backstory that really isn’t relevant to the character’s appearance in game. Even then I would expect that to apply only for one important character or some side characters. My impression so far is that this show is more supposed to be it’s own thing rather than just a lead up to something else.

Jackdaw has done a commentary on the trailer on You Tube where he also mentions the meaning behind the ouroborus. In Jaws of Hakkon, Razikale's Reach has a big ouroboros statue too. So it's not the only cases of that symbol being used in-setting. Speaking of Hakkon, he fits the ouroboros (he's the dragon of death/war/winter). Actually, the Avaar are big on the circle of death (destruction) and rebirth (for spirits at least)... We have discussed possible links between the Lady of the Skies, Razikale and Mythal over on the Crazy Theory thread, so it doesn't surprise me to find this symbol in locations associated with Mythal and Razikale. The whole Avvar lore about reincarnation also seemed to show some sort of crossover between different cultures that strongly associate with the spirit world, as opposed to those influenced by the Chantry. It is likely that the ring is going to have a symbolic meaning connected with death/rebirth or something similar. What if they are using it to bring back some ancient being?

Do you suppose there is any connection between this individual, who I think is meant to be the Viper? and this individual? I know one has two eyes and the other at least six but they both glow. Look at the angle of the head; it is pretty much identical. Also, I know it is a bit obvious but a viper is a snake.

No, I don't think so. The only thing they share is glowing eyes and not even the same color.

I'd like the main characters to have their own plot and character arcs in Absolution, potentially spanning more than one season. Later seasons if they happen seem likely to air at the same time or after DAD. So I'd probably rather they not be shipped off to Dreadwolf to become companions rather then resolving their arcs on the show they started.
Of course it may be one of those one season shows whose story starts and ends there. With any future dragon age shows being seperate stories entirely. In which case characters proceeeding to show up in Dreadwolf would likely be fine.
Regardless, the 8 year time jump between the Exalted council in 9:44 and 9:52 Dragon* provides plenty of time to have multiple seasons of dragon age tv.
*the current time based on The Flame Eternal saying 9:22 was 30 years ago

Any connection to DA:D doesen't have to be too deep and any character that appears in DA:D from DA:A doesen't have to get a huge focus. Afteral Ser Michel and Mihiris got bare minimum cameos from Masked Empire to Inquisition and Rhys and Evangeline only were mentioned in the war table. 2. In this regard Agents of Shield might provide an answer. While I have never seen it my understanding is AS provided us with sub plots and their own characters which were releated to to the MCU and what was going on but largely served as supplemental material, filling in some of the blanks. The main action still happens in the MCU movies proper but Agents of Shield answered questions like 'what happened to the cleanup operations for New York.' Though to this point I do half wonder how much the Disney Plus shows will become relevant to the MCU moves as we release more.

I'm just seeing the female qunari, seeing DAD concept art of female qunari and putting 2 and 2 together.

this looks great! already liked the animated movie with cassandra. also this could give hints what characters/companions we could get in the game, right? since it also seem to focus on tevinter. i see the female qunari (rasaan?) and also (maybe?) Vaea. really would like to see those two in the new game. (btw i like the titel "absolution" even more than "dreadwolf" personally) the only two sad things: still no bigger informations about DAD and the new series is still many months away... sigh xD
the locations looks great btw can't wait (maybe some of them we can explore in DAD?)
i totally understand the fear that the series and the game could be connected to understand certain things - which i also don't hope that this will be the case. don't like this in e.g. MCU where they do this all the time (you have to watch this series and this movie to understand this new movie etc)
but i don't understand the fear about spin offs. i mean doesn't this happen sometimes and aren't characerts from comics/books return in movies/games also spin offs? i mean yeah totally new characters would be most of the time the best choice but most characters have a character which means they made experiences and this means they already had a life (and therefore a story) before our PC meets them.
but i am personally also torn back and forth about what the series could mean for the game.

Okay, I finally got my breakdown together:
So I'm seeing three groupings of characters in this trailer:
Mage and Hammer Lady - The mage is attacked by the elf rogue, which makes me think this is an antagonist while the armored lady with the warhammer is seen next to this mage in one of the shots where the spirit seemed to be. This seems to be the same location as the ouroboros ring.
The Party - One dwarf with an axe, one lady qunari mage (vashoth, not true Qunari), one human rogue, one human warrior, and one Tevinter looking mage.
The Elf Rogue - I'm assuming she's part of the party, but curiously she doesn't appear in any scenes with them in this trailer. I'm guessing they take a little bit to meet up.

Though to this point I do half wonder how much the Disney Plus shows will become relevant to the MCU moves as we release more.
1. If you want a taste of the writings of Mairghread Scott, the head writer/showrunner of Dragon Age: Absolution go watch Transformers: Prime while she wasn't the head writer or showrunner she did write a couple of episodes and they were some of the best, she also wrote the comic Transformers: Windblade vol. 1 #1-4 and took a brand new character made as interesting and established her as being in the same league as Optimus Prime and Starscream. So that gives me a good feelings all around.
2) The Disney+ Marvel shows are basically tie-ins for the movies WandaVision and What If... were both lead-ins for Doctor Strange and The Multiverse of Madness. The Falcon and The Winter Solider was a lead-in to the recently announced Captain America 4.
Ms. Marvel is already slated to appear in The Marvels with Captain Marvel and Photon who was introduced in WandaVision.
The only show that appears not to be a direct tie-in to any movie is maybe Moon Knight and given his ties to the Ancient Egyptian Gods with rumors that before the pandemic that one or all the Enternals were going to show up to explain what the ancient Egyptian gods were as to the Norse, Greek, and Shin-To deities that have been seen and explained in the Thor films and Shang-Chi and The Legends of Ten Rings but it didn't work out.

Wow, this was not something I expected before the game came out, although I suppose it could be considered in the same light as Asunder and Masked Empire before DAI. I wonder if the story will be connected in any way to what will be happening in game or totally independent of it. Considering it is set in Tevinter, it can't be totally unconnected. May be it will be a bit like the Wraiths of Thedas comic series, so touching on related events but not really impacting that much on the game plot. I agree. When you see what the netflix show has done for The Witcher, I hope it draws a lot of attention to the new game. It is to long ago since the last game droped.
