on the use of the word "okay" in thedas

So, "okay" is a word that doesn't appear much in DA dialogue through the first three installments, though it's become quite common by Veilguard.

Likely not an intentional evolution, but a symptom of the fact that the language used in DAV is generally more contemporary than the other installments. Still. Let's play in the space. Because it's not that no one uses "okay" before then. It's actually a relatively common Varric word -- he says it in both DA2 and DAI.

Obvious conclusion: "Okay" is dwarven slang.

(Corollary headcanon: Increased contact with the surface has spread dwarven slang more widely. Perhaps even helped by the popularity of Varric's books...)

Over my breakfast this morning I stared into space wondering what the origins of "OK" could be in the dwarven context. Orzammar is the obvious O. So... Orzammar Kingdom? Orzammar King?

Of course. "OK" is the seal that Orzammar's king uses to express that a document has his approval.

Don't worry everyone. It all makes sense now.

"OK" being the Orzammar King's seal and now part of common parlance through the Merchant's Guild is now canon.
