The Elven Gods & Their Relationships (ft. Cole from The Kingdom) | Dragon Age [spoilers]
Hey everybody, hope you enjoy the video - the title does warn, but extra warning consider there to be any/all spoilers - we pop out codexs and thoughts and the spoiler filter is off.
So, soon I'll be starting my series on the elven gods, and this was such a fun warmup to that, because it is one hell of a topic to dive into.
Don't forget to check out The Kingdom, if you haven't already:

Also, here's that link to the interview with Patrick Weekes I mentioned in the video before I forget:
• The Story Behind Solas...

Thanks for watching, guys!

Sometimes, a rival can also be a friend. Siblings can often have a rivalry, but deep down, you know your brother or sister will be there when you need them most
Love that chat! I had two questions 1, why is there comparatively little on Elger’nan? it feels like he should be the most prominent and most powerful as the head of the pantheon but I feel like information on him is comparatively lacking. 2, why do so many people take Solas at face value and believe him? He is a proven lier and a literal trickster god, nothing he says should be fully trusted, at best he has his own bias and at worst he could be outright attempting to deceive us.
Unfortunetely, I'm not one of the writers at Bioware, so I can't really answer your first question - but my best guess would be either they didn't want to waste time delving into a character that may never turn up, and/or they wanted to leave it vague so they can add details later/avoid retcons. Also, this is just a big maybe, but I believe they've also left him intentionally vague to build up the fear/intimidation factor for him? He's this horrific character, leader of the pantheon - knowing more might just break that mystery and fear surrounding him and his capabilities? (literally all guesses on my part). Question 2 - hmm... I believe one of the writers (maybe/probably Weekes?) stated that Solas never outright lies, only omits information/tells you things he wants you to know (with the occasional oopsie on his part when he gets carried away). He's definitely a biased/unreliable narrator trying to decieve us, so I wouldn't be surprised if things he's stated turn out to be wrong/not what we thought. But truth be told, I trust when he says something he at least believes it to be true (or he's being purposefully vague/side-steppy to throw us off the scent). Hope that helps!
Oh! What if June made the foci? He's a craftsman and he's associated with fire. What if it meant he figured out how to lock all that power inside the foci? Andruil is definitely the worst.🤣
Well, in six months and seven days, all of your questions will be answered. Will that make you unhappy after a while, since you seem to be having so much fun speculating?
Great chat. Really enjoyed it. Never delved deeply into the topic before. But love the idea that June is link with Dwarves though. If that is true, a whole heap of questions are raised and understandings challenged!
I’d like to have more lore videos between you two. You both bring a lot of perspective to the details spread throughout the games/books/comics.
