Dragon Age Meta Nexus

How is the Inquisition funded?So @casualbutthole (A+ name btw) asked me a really good question:Hey so I’ve been wondering something about dai for a while now and I figured you might best know the answer, or at least know where to point me to but….(and sorry if this is a dumb question)…where does the inquisition get enough money to…exist?

I was just sitting there thinking about red lyrium, and about how Bianca said that this is regular lyrium that carries the Blight. But then I remembered something from Dragon Age II that suddenly blows the top off of everything we thought we knew about the blight.

Hi! This is a weird question, but um. I was just watching Champions of the Just, and the scene where Barris drinks the lyrium confused the hell out of me -- the lyrium kit Cullen has in Perseverance looks like it's more for something taken like heroin, injected or snorted, but then they just...

Dorian: Back home, you see dwarves everywhere… and not just from the Ambassadoria. Rather odd how, in the South, everyone thinks of dwarves as merchants. Limited view, in my opinion.

The end of Trespasser revealed that if you killed Leliana in Origins, she will become a lyrium ghost. A spirit made flesh, similiar to Cole, by the lyrium in the mountain where the urn of Sacred Ashes is located. Maybe representing Faith, like Wynne? This was kind of hinted at in Origins, when Oghren questioned what is was that was keeping the Guardian alive.

I've been doing a LOT of work lately on Golems of Amgarrak DLC, including lore, theory, codex reviewing, and mapping. Honestly, the maps turned out amazing. And I really should just share them. So...all the rest of it aside for a moment, I present MORE DEEP ROADS MAPS! XD.

What's so bad about supporting Templars? There are pros and cons to supporting both sides so I don't see such a big deal about it. I mean yeah, they're kind of assholes, okay they're HUGE assholes, for imprisoning mages and all that shazzam but what I've seen throughout each game is the mages not giving the Templars good reasons to NOT keep them in the Circles. (Now with added commentary on why the Circles may have been a good idea in their time, but are no longer.)

Go anywhere in Dragon Age lore and sooner or later you run into The Song. Lyrium sings. The Calling sings. The Golden City used to sing, according to the Chant, which is itself a song. And so on.

The complete works of Varric Tethras's bestselling Hard in Hightown compiled from codex entries for your pleasure.

Gonna pull stuff out of my ass again. What else are fans for?So recently I saw a post speculating about the nature of healing magic, how exactly it acts on the body and what its limits are.

The voice from the tiniest cave (that gives the Ardent Blossom quest) says the most interesting things…

*kicks in door* I HEARD GERM THEORY WHAT Here are my two cents: If we assume that Skyhold is eventually the home of some of the best Thedas has to offer, I'm inclined to believe germ theory isn't prevalent in their medicine. Given the existence of the surgeon hanging around, and the fact that I don't see any traces of microscopes in the Thedas that we know, there's no hint to imply that Theodosians are even aware of the possibility. And why should they? We're told that Theodosians bar Qunari are heavily reliant on magic; the study of non-magical science itself is most likely stunted from this.

As a preface: at her youngest, Vivienne is 44 years old. This is calculated by noting that she was 19 when she transferred to Montsimmard, and she was considered 'young' in 9:16 Dragon when she met Bastien.

The more time goes by, the more I desperately want to see an Old God prison for myself. There's a note you can find in the Western Approach that reads as follows: "So close. We nearly reached him. Made it down to what looked like a dwarven thaig where the song was actually audible, real and thrumming through the air, not just in our heads. It rattled through the lyrium pillars and shook the earth beneath our feet to its dreadful tempo. We lost thirty men in the last cave-in, and the Warden-Commander is abandoning the mission. I tried to argue for one last push, but the rock is too unstable down there. We'll have to find another Archdemon somewhere solid."

"Alas, so long as the music plays, we dance."A master reference list of what we know so far about the scary dragon lady and her impact on the world of Thedas. Said impact is pretty far reaching so expect spoilers for all three dragon age games and probably all of the DLC, including Trespasser and the Descent.

Sexuality in Thedas** What I find most interesting is that, despite the lack of open discussion on matters of human sexuality, there is...

As part of the upgrades to Skyhold, the Inquisitor can have a surgery built, there is an option to talk to the surgeon who challenges the view...

schrodanger: Is a neurodivergent lesbian Helps the underprivileged and oppressed in spite of living a life of hardship Inherited a large sum of money and an estate from foster mother - gave it away instead of keeping it Likes the Inquisitor so much that she wants to learn to make cookies with them so she can like cookies again, because her abusive mother made her have a bad association with cookies Focuses on changing the present instead of the past Uses pranks to cheer people up and to help the Inquisitor seem "like people" (i.e.

A question. Why is all the Handers M/M? Especially considering it seems to be perpetrated mostly by females...I don't understand.Someone care to share some insight? I can't speak for the entire fandom - which isn't exclusively full of straight cis women, but rather a varying bunch of people with different reasons for preferring the m/m romance over the f/m - but I can speak for myself.
