Recently, while I was in my another Veilguard playthrough, a thought crossed my mind.

Remember those owl statues in Arlathan Forest? The symbols on them made me wonder if I could try decoding them. Turns out, there really was some encrypted text there.

Here it is (literal, with original spelling preserved):

owls are spooqy

eating the mice

time to find out

is this owl nice

I don't know if you need this information, but here it is. It's nice that even after a year and a half, this game still has something to offer.

There's a quest in Arlathan to destroy the blighted deepstalker nest that's not not in the journal or on the map. However, it can be completed.

If you cleared this nest, then after the quest Blood of Arlathan, three adventurers will appear in the forest cooking a deepstalker near the campfire.

In the files, these guys are marked as an easter egg. Most likely, this is a reference to Dungeon Meshi.

They also have banter codenamed "dragonsnack" where they discuss the events in Arlathan Crater. Originally this was a conversation between the Veil Jumpers in their camp.

Guard: He wanted to strengthen his Archdemon by feeding it Dalish elves. Guard: "Noble blood for a noble beast," or something like that. Mercenary: That's vile. Guard: Does it really make a difference, you think? Elven blood? Mercenary: Does it matter if it does? Sacrificing people is still a horrible thing to do. Guard: Anyway, he was telling them how disappointed he was in them for letting the Dalish escape. Guard: And then he said: "This is merely a test of resolve. Mine, and yours." Guard: Mostly theirs, I think, because then he asked the Venatori to give themselves to the dragon. Mercenary: He asked and they just… did it? Guard: Some seemed eager. Not all of them, though. I thought I caught blood magic in the air. Mercenary: How did you get close enough to hear all of that? Guard: Oh, I was… uh, I had to relieve myself in the bushes and when I was done there were Venatori everywhere. Guard: So I just stayed in the bushes. The whole time. Mercenary: You're lucky you weren't caught. Guard: Almost was. Sneezed once. Venatori mages were using some magical powders, and the wind blew it over to me. Guard: Thank the creators the dragon was louder.

something i don't think gets talked about NEARLY ENOUGH regarding Dragon Age: Veilguard: If you pick certain options and let enough banters play out, MULTIPLE companions will for all intents and purpose signal their plan to change factions post-game.

Taash can become an honorary Antivan Crow and seems to be legit into the idea by game's end (also Harding like the cape). Like, if they were a returning companion in DA5 I could EASILY see them having joined up (or at least become associated).

Bellara can flat out ask Neve to join the Shadow Dragons. (edit: OR apparently can ask to join the Mourn Watch?!?!)

Davrin can signal he's planning to spend a LOT of time with the Veil Jumpers and the griffons once this is all over (and a big part of his banter sequence with Bellara AND his tertiary content with Rook involve his realizing that the Veil Jumpers' aims are different than the Dalish he grew up with).

Like, that's FANTASTIC. No one is ever permanently any one thing, and I love the idea of some of the companions realizing "hey, actually, this works better" and they've built those connections and networks and so hey, Antivan Crow Taash? Sure, Teia will make them a cape. Shadow Dragon Bellara? Hey, they took the ex-templar Rana, they'll easily take her. Etc.
