Dragon Age Official Teaser Trailer - 2018 Game Awards

Yes! OMG!! Here it is!! Okay, let’s get on this analysis, peeps!

wyrdsistersofthedas

It’s back! The red lyrium idol from DA2 is front and center in this trailer. Holy shit, people! This is so damn significant!

The idol was, of course, found in the Primeval Thaig! This implies that we are going to be dealing with Titans, not just Solas. Red lyrium has to be a central issue here. It is a disease and it’s spreading. We’re beginning to think that the idol isn’t just a tainted lyrium statue. It may be a soul trap with a mind of its own. It drove Bartrand mad, and made Meredith even more dangerous than she already was.

The last we saw of the idol, Meredith said she had forged it into her sword, Certainty, which later became the property of Samson. It could now be in the hands of the Inquisition or among what survives of Corypheus’ forces.

Decima and I are really thinking that the soul that was once trapped inside may now be free. This would have to be a powerful corrupted spirit, god, forgotten one, or something! Could a soul trap have been used to imprison a corrupted Titan’s heart?

It could be argued that, whatever it is, this idol is the source of red lyrium. It’s whispering may also have been, in part, what caused the Mage-Templar War. Meredith was already a tyrant, but this thing pushed her over the edge. It wanted war between the Fade magic and Titan magic, ie mages and templars. Given what we know about the history between the Evanuris and the Titans, it’s likely still looking for that fight.

Also….Hawke! You walking disaster! What in the Void!?! Corypheus and now this thing?!?! You better not be dead, cause we are going to kill you!!

The circles here are imprisoning the red lyrium statue, with an elven figure who may be Solas and a wolf that is definitely the Dread Wolf holding it back/watching over it.

Decima theorized ages ago that the overlapping circles represented the Fade, Mortal Realm, and the Void. That would fit nicely with what is being shown here. It wasn’t just the Evanuris that Solas imprisoned. He held back the Titans as well.

The half circles in the trailer on the edge of the innermost circle, however, may have another significance. There are seven of them, trapped between realms….just where Solas put them. These may represent the Evanuris, trapped in the Fade. Two, however, are highlighted and seem almost fractured…

What did Cole say? They sleep behind darkened mirrors?

“Cole: They sleep, masked in a mirror, hiding, hurting, and to wake them… (Gasps.) Where did it go?“

Two of the Evanuris may already be free. We theorized way back when that Falon’Din may already be causing shit, and our best guess for the other would be Andruil. They are highlighted more than any of the other gods besides Mythal and the Dread Wolf in Inquisition.

The two lighted bubbles may be eluvians that once were closed to the Elven gods, but have now been broken open.

Now the figure in the lower left corner may also be super significant. Yes, it could be Solas….but look at the staff it is carrying. That looks a hell of a lot like Freedom’s Promise, a staff from the DA2 Mage Pack DLC . And, holy shit, that is significant if it is! Freedom’s Promise belonged to Aldenon, the mage who helped Calenhad unite Ferelden. They had a major falling out, however, when Calenhad allowed Templars and Circle mages to join the war effort. Aldenon told him:

“A civilization cannot be civil if it condones the slavery of another. And that is what this Circle is! But by accident of birth, those mages would be free to live, love, and die as they choose. The Circles will break—if it be one year, a decade, a century, or beyond. Tyrants always fall, and the downtrodden always strive for freedom!”

And tied to the staff is what appears to be wolves.

Was Aldenon an agent of Fen’Harel? His final speech sure sounds like Solas (and Anders). We also can’t find anything in the lore that says whether Aldenon was human…or not. Could he have been an elf? Aldenon came from the Frostback Mountains. Could he have been at Skyhold? At Haven and/or the Temple of Sacred Ashes? Possibly! Ferelden has a long history of humans and elves living together. Could Solas’ agents or Flemythal have been working behind the scenes to orchestrate Ferelden’s formation and survival? Yes.

Aldenon disappeared before Calenhad’s coronation, but Calenhad went looking for him after he was forced to abdicate the throne. Calenhad and Aldenon disappeared, never to be seen again. Until now???

Oh the storytelling possibilities!!! The lore!! This is why we love you, Bioware!!

We’ll add more to this post as we find it. What do you all think?

We’re just going to keep adding shit to this post, people. If the figure on the bottom left is Solas, this may also represent his “dual nature”. The choice between Solas and the Dread Wolf. Save him or stop him?

ok please note i had no idea what i was doing for any of this and theres probably a much better way to construct a base BUT this is what…. ended up happening

the vague shape of it is getting there … . .

needs more bands

MORE BANDS

becoming a flat onion

the top is removed so i can get inside of it

… and then a band of cardboard is placed on the inside to support it ( its standing !! )

the bands are cut on the places where they jut out and then overlapped and taped, so the shape is smoother but its STILL an onion

so i cut the whole damn thing in half and added a big band of cardboard in the middle to lengthen it out. the Orb is being born

its rounded out a little bit more on the sides and then the mouth is cut out

FABRIC

F A B R I C ( this is the point in the game where my gluegun stopped working, and so everything from this point on is glued by me heating the sticks over a candle flame. nice

the seams on the fabric are cut and glued into place ( and hand stitched in a lotta places and a lot of em look, Really bad in the back h hah HA ) and the teeth ( fleece, cardboard to keep em flat, and a little bit of stuffing ) are thrown in the mouth

tongue cuttin

handstitched the seams on the tongue, got the base for it ready and the eyes cut out

the EYES ( cardboard with white on one side, black on the other, and a little thin strip of black going along the edge ) ( also the pupils arent glued down yet hey )

EYES

TONGUE

THERE THEY ARE

tulle time, so much goddamn tulle

SO much of it just everywhere on the back its a mess, the back looks like an awful grape but it doesnt matter its the BACK

heres the Looking Hole ( theres black mesh netting over the top ) - the little pink eye details are also in

and then here it is, this Mess ( tights and boots both are probably gonna change but Oh Well ) i dont know what the tongue was doing so crooked in these shots but its TOO LATE UPDATE: THERES actually a video of it in motion heyooo
