Lucanis Dellamorte - Official Companion Thread [Spoilers]

Well, I recall one of them did say they consulted the Wiki when they weren't sure about something and I was a bit taken aback because I sometimes question the Wiki entries and I would have thought the writers would have their own master reference book to consult but there you go. The World of Thedas books had numerous inconsistencies and contradictions in them despite it being claimed they were checked meticulously.

Nevertheless, there may be the odd underlying premise that informs the lore of the Copse Watchers. I've pointed out on the Crazy Theory thread that there is a similarity between the binding ritual used here and that used by Malcolm Hawke in Legacy to bind the demons that seal Corypheus' prison. Then the emphasis on using "true names" really made me sit up and take notice because of the story in Tevinter Nights concerning Rasaan searching for Solas' true name. If the companions featured there had already been decided upon when they were written, surely other details might also be connected with the plot in the game. Ever since reading that bit about Rasaan I've been asking if it was significant and on its own it was debatable but link it back to the Corpse Watchers and now I'm more convinced that it might be.

I can't remember where you would find it now but I'm fairly certain around the time Tevinter Nights came out PW did hint there might be some clues in there related to the plot of the next game. Naturally we tended to focus on the story actually featuring Solas but in view of the admission about the companions, that does widen out the scope for what hints might be there in other stories. I do wonder if the Qunari are going to feature in a big way in the story but they are being careful to keep this under wraps. They have been very conspicuous by their absence from any promotional material since late 2022 and the comic series the Missing in early 2023. Yet they featured heavily in Trespasser, several of the stories in Tevinter Nights and other associated media. I think we should be prepared for a big surprise.  Remember this bit of concept art?   Actually this was my first thought on seeing the big horned skeleton in the trailer recently.   A long dead ancestor of the Qunari perhaps?   However, the giant warrior in this concept art looks very much alive.
