"lol isn't it funny how there are hardly any dragons in the dragon age games! and how dragons are barely relevant to the story lol" Anyway isn't it funny how the true importance of dragons in Dragon Age has been such a slow-burn concept despite the final boss of the first game being a dragon? One of the most important recurring NPCs in the series transforms into a dragon and is associated with dragon imagery. The big repeated world-ravaging catastrophes are led by corrupted dragons. These dragons and said catastrophes are connected to at least three of the world's major religions. The current age was named the "Dragon Age" because of the resurgence of dragons after they were thought to be extinct. A daughter of the aforementioned recurring character is revealed to have been deliberately breeding dragons to bring them back, and tells us that "the blood of dragons is the blood of the world." A major character from ancient times finds the idea of all the old god dragons being killed really upsetting and hasn't told us why. We found out in the last game that dragons have an unusual resistance to that world-ravaging catastrophe. There are only a couple old god dragons left. Dragons aren't always in the foreground of the story, but they're always there, they've always been there, in the background or just offscreen, hiding, sleeping, deep under the surface, waiting.
Actually, I think Solas has been doing that Trespasser epilogue slide thing where he lurks in Lavellan's dreams for ages.
But WHAT IF the "Dwarves can't dream" is a Titan thing that just blocks out dreaming like that anti-indoctrination barrier thing from Mass Effect?
PICTURE THIS:
Doom Upon All The World, Solas leaves, Lavellan is still off doing Inquisitorial things, with Solas lurking in her dreams like she was a news anchor and he glued to the TV.
Then she goes off to do The Descent DLC things, moves sufficiently far enough underground and she's just gone.
Solas can't find her in dreams, but bc he's off doing Dread Wolf Stuff In Secret (TM), he doesn't even hear the Inquisitor visiting the Deep Roads even down the grapevine.
So he just thinks she's fucking died somewhere, in the dark and wet and lonely and scared where nobody will even think to find her body because it just does not fucking occur to him she would go so deep underground for (as far as he knows) funsies.
Bonus points if during Jaws of Hakkon, when he can find her dreams again, instead of just lurking he does the fade-walking-dream equivalent of shaking her by the shoulders like WHAT IN THE SWEET HELLS WERE YOU THINKING JUST FIGHTING A TITAN I WAS RIGHT THERE [stalking u in ur dreams uwu]
Idk i just thing it would be good angst.
TOLKIENVERSE ↳ High Queen of the Noldor — Antariel
She was born as Cîneth to Lord Taethon and Lady Almanis of the Sindar, and raised in the great Kingdom of Doriath. She was a quiet yet happy child but she later grew sorrowful and fearful in nature, plagued by dark foresight and dreams.
After the Second Kinslaying in Doriath, she fled to the Mouth of Sirion with the survivors of the massacre, having lost her father and brother to the Noldor. However, during the War of the Wrath, many Elves banded together, regardless of old differences and she encountered the High King of the Noldor, Erenion Gil-Galad. Overcoming animosity, she grew to love the Noldorin King and he took her to wife in the Year 95 of the Second Age — and bestowed the Quenya name, Antariel, on her.
Antariel remained Gil-Galad’s wife and queen for the entirety of the second Age, until his death, three thousand years later, at the hands of Sauron. She was known for her political intellect and compassionate nature, yet she often seen as a mournful figure but she only confided her dark dreams to her husband. After Gil-Galad’s death, she remained a mentor to Elrond in the beginning of the Third Age but grief overcame her and she faded away in the Year 398 T.A.
In the imaginary version of Thedas that I made up and have archived in my head dwarves have soulmates (they're the only ones that have them) and they're called 'stonemates'... There are also stonenemies
