So I have a situation in going to run into. I'm currently on redoing my Solavellen story line and I'm wondering what to do about Hakkon when I get to him. I'll be doing that quest line after What Pride Has Wrought. It's there that Morrigan tells us about how the magic of old must be preserved, which includes dragons. My inq will seriously consider that. Yeah Hakkon is a god that needs to be reborn, but should I really kill an ancient high dragon to do that? What do you all think?

Morrigan is crazier than an easter bunny.
Ancient magic in 97% of cases (especially when sentient) brings only chaos, devastation, suffering for the weak and the innocent.

I disagree. She's smarter than she's given credit for. She's right that was once was must be preserved. Thedas has lost much already. But as an elf who finds the previous inquisitor, should she finish what he started?

It's possible the dragon itself is already dead and its body is only still alive because it's possessed by Hakkon. There's a good chance it would have dropped dead the moment Hakkon was transferred to the Hakkonite chief, had the ceremony been successful.

It is factual and empirically observable.
Nothing good has ever come out of rummaging through ancient ruins, awakening old powers, messing with forgotten magic and so on.
Like, 99% of times.
Thedas can't afford the luxury of archaeology.

They tend to understimate the consequences while insisting that they're perfectly aware. Imagine if these two agreed to work together (shudders).

Morrigan would NEVER trust a demon to help her with anything. Merrill was naive and far too eager to restore an artifact that she knew nothing about. But the question remains, is Hakkon or the dragon worth letting him remain alive.. it was the Hakkonites that wanted to unleash him on the lowlands. |

This seems a moot point since that isn't an option. However, assuming that it is, our friendly Avvar make it clear that Hakkon is trapped within the dragon body and to a certain extent enslaved by those who originally called him out of the Fade, so the best outcome for the Avvar god is to free him to return to the Fade. From there he can once again interact with all his worshipers, not just the Hakkonites. As Flemeth would say: "Bodies are such limiting things". The ancient spirit that is Hakkon is far better off freed from his dragon host. As for the dragon itself, it is very old and it is likely it was only the spirit within that was keeping it alive, so saving it whilst also freeing Hakkon isn't really possible. |

I forgot to account for what Hakkon the spirit would want, and he did acend to the fade beautifully too. |
