One of the biggest concepts I learned after playing the game and reading the lore was about the so called Elven Gods. They are known as "Evanuris" as they are known in Elven Language.
It has been suspected and now confirmed that the Elven Gods were actually very powerful Mages.
This was sort of in the back of my mind and hinted as part of the story in the first game called Dragon Age Origins.
The powerful mages of the Trevintor Imperium were blamed for the BIight becaus they invaded the Golden City of the Maker and the Maker Blackened it and throw them out as hideous monsters known as the Darkspawn.
Now we know from the memories of Solas that Eleven Gods were really very powerful mages, which ruled the Elven Country in Thedas before the coming of Humans, and Quinari.
Amazingly, the Eleven Gods were so powerful, that their magic was seen as God Level and they became worshipped as Gods.
We are often told that magic is a sufficiently advanced technology, which is so far ahead of it's time that it seems like magic. Apparently these mages were so powerful that they were thought of as not powerful mages, but Gods. Especially considering that Mages in Tevintor used Blood Magic, one assumes that the Elven Gods used blood magic, another aspect of their rule allowing mind control.
These advanced magic powers and spells allowed them to be immortal and rule for hundreds of years.
The Endless War between Elves and Titans
In another fasicnating reveal of Solases memmories we learn that the Elves were at War with a group of beings called the Titans, which are described as large as mountains, and were anti-magic beings, whom the Elves fought in what was called an endless war.
The memories of Solas indicate the Titans impaired the effectiveness of the magic used by Elves, and the titans shaped the earth. It also appears that the Titans blood was lirium, the element fueling the magic of the Elves.
Apparently the Elves killed Titans and used their hearts as power sources, and it maybe one of these hearts that Solas used to create the veil, and imprison the Elven Gods or Evanuri.
Dwarves used magic
The Dwarves were also referred to as Children of the Titans, and it appears they were Avatars for the Titans, some refer to them as the eyes and ears of Titans in the world.
It also appearred that the Dwarves had their own Magic Users, but it appears they used stone magic, much different from the magic we have seen before from elves and other mages.
These revelations are amazing and surprising as the Dwarves cherish their history, but it appears that their history was cleansed of the Titans and the magic using Dwarves.
Mind Blown
as one who played Dragon Age origins with my son, and played the DLCs, and played Dragon Age Inquisition, but not the DLCs which revealled hints of this lore, now made known in Veilguard. This is amazing.
I am curious if there is a Dragon Age Community here on Hive and if others are experienceing this amazing Lore Reveal as I am?
