Davrin - Official Companion Thread [Spoilers]

So far much of what was in Tevinter Nights has made it into the game, either as companions or the backstory leading up to it. The comic the Missing was meant to be a direct tie in to the game and the connected Strife and Irelin to the Veil Jumpers. The Crows seem to think there is a connection between the Qunari invasion of Tevinter and their own problems back home, since Viago and Teia have been seen in Tevinter cities twice now in the comics, the last time in Vyrantium investigating a member of the Venatori, even though with Antiva already under attack you would have thought they would have better things to do back home. Tevinter Nights told us more about the set up of the leadership of the Crows in Antiva. Whilst Lucanis would appear to have abandoned the Crows, he must originally have been sent to Tevinter to fulfill contracts that they had been given and then got involved with the Shadow Dragons (even though he may not be aware their leader was his mysterious sponsor). Neve was in Tevinter Nights, as were Emmrich and Manfred with lore concerning the Mourn Watch. Davrin was likely the Warden depicted on the front cover, even though he didn't appear in the stories. They introduced the Lords of Fortune as a faction with three short stories involving their members. So, much as I thought at the time, Tevinter Nights was probably originally meant to be the lead in publication to the game but the delays meant it no longer fulfilled such a direct purpose. However, much of the information is clearly still relevant.

Does that mean they will use the Horror of Hormack? I think it likely will be involved, probably as the quest associated with Davrin. They have said the companion quests are integrated into the main narrative and with weird creepy gods back in the world, particularly tentacle lady, who in concept art also seems to have an association with the sea, I think the Horror of Hormack could play a big role. Otherwise it does seem odd it would feature in the collection, particularly when it was strongly hinted that there were other examples of the briny horror pools out there.
