Andraste’s knickers, HOW did I not notice this sooner?

Here we have an image of the red lyrium idol from DA2 and an image of Solas/Fen’Harel and Flemeth from the post-credits scene of DA:I. In both images, a woman in a crown with a point on the forehead appears to be being embraced by a bald elf.

In DA we read about the Canticle of Shartan, an elf who fought alongside Andraste’s during her campaign against Tevinter. Shartan’s verses are considered heretical and the Andrastian Chantry doesn’t recognize them. Part of the reason why is because Shartan’s writings suggest that he was Andraste’s lover. And also the “Andraste was a powerful Mage” theory.

The fact that these poses are similar lends credence to the Solas is Shartan is Fen’Harel and Flemeth is Andraste’s is Mythal theory.

It makes me wonder if Solas’ “sleep” wasn’t actually an uthenera state, but his consciousness asleep in the mortal known as Shartan.

Travel time maps - these are pretty quick and dirty but should line up pretty well with the travel time charts I posted a while ago.

Reblogging and editing to add supporting information per several requests.

This post has the methdology I used for calculating these times and this one has the rest of the info about how I came to these conclusions.

This post has the charts for RPG set one and two.

WHOOAAAAA MAKER BLESS YOU

If Corypheus is the one of the Seven Magister's who went into the Golden City, would it make sense that The Architect is one of the original Magister's too? He has control over the taint just like Corypheus, he looks similar to Corypheus (a fucked up priest). Maybe he just has amnesia? Plus Corypheus's code name is "The Conductor," maybe "The Architect" is just the code name he remembers, due to amnesia he forgot his actual name.

:O

Headcanon time! Kinda long, but relevant.

I say that the Architect is in fact one of seven magisters, specifically the high priest of the temple dedicated to Urthemiel. (I assume that the old god of beauty presumably had a hand in the construction of Tevinter, the styling of the capital’s architecture was most likely overseen by priests from Urthemiel’s temple.) Because this was the god dedicated to beauty, the Architect was ejected from the Fade (specifically the Black City) without his eyes. Corypheus, meanwhile, was priest of the god of silence, with the temple particularly known for its choirs; he was ejected from the Fade without his ears. Presumably the other five are also missing body parts appropriate to their patron god, (the priest of the god of slaves has no hands to strike with, the priest of the god of fire probably doesn’t have skin, and so on) but since we’ve never seen then there’s no way to be sure.

Headcanon says that the Architect was asleep, like Corypheus, for a very long time; he hadn’t been found by the Wardens and locked away the same way as Corypheus, so he wasn’t exposed to the Taint and able to sneak into the minds of nearby Wardens the same way. This is how Corypheus kept himself grounded while he was in stasis, and the Architect didn’t have that. Thus, when he woke up, all he remembered was that he is “the Architect,” and over time realized a few things:

He is what’s called a “Darkspawn.”

He isn’t driven by the same force as other Darkspawn.

He has a staggering amount of magical ability.

Realizing that the other Darkspawn were being driven by the Call, the Architect set out to find a way to make them like him, free and cognizant, and along the way made some huge mistakes.

But I mean, if he is one of the seven magisters, making mistakes is kind of what he’s best at.

(Also, I’d like to point out that “the Architect” and “the Conductor” not only follow the same naming convention with one another, but also the naming convention used for “the Maker.”)

There’s an interesting codex entry on talking darkspawn and magisters. I cannot for the life of me remember where I found it (I think it was in a thaig, so maybe Valammar?) but here it is:

Personal bet: the Architect was the one who chatted with Amuk about surfacers.

Neither of the other two could be Corypheus, since he was locked up at the time, so if the Warden killed the Architect, then by the end of Inquisition at least three of the original seven magisters are dead.

Maybe.

todd howard’s youtube interview about fallout: 

no NPCs in fallout 76

there are still robots, holotapes, quests, but every human character is real

running into raider gangs basically replaced by other players

no completely offline mode, but you can choose whether you want to become involved with people… they’re trying to create an environment without griefing with certain incentives yet to be revealed

it seems PVP will always be a present part of the gameplay & can’t be avoided entirely, he was a bit dodgy with revealing 

stats will still be present in some way as a way of making alternatives for people who aren’t good at shooters

no mods at launch
