    I think the key here is this. Solas, Fen'harel, woke from a deep sleep into a world far far different from the one he knew, and full of regret for what he sees himself as to have done. Flemeth, Mythal, on the other hand, has lived through it all. She did not sleep. She took in everything about the world, lived through it. Fostered the new world Fen'harel left. She is the goddess of motherhood, and therefore mothered the new world and brought it up in such a way with her cunning that it would have a fighting chance when the inevitable came to pass. However, at some point living an immortal life, you can become tired. And ready to move on. So instead of making Morrigan a vessel, Morrigan could become the new embodiment. Mythal recognizes her time is past, and leaves it to the most capable person she can imagine, one who started off being able to make the more difficult choices and then gained empathy along the way.

    Why would Morrigan want to preserve the Elven? Because "I taught you, girl" like flemeth said. She was raised to be that way. She was raised to inherit that role. And everything that has happened to her and will happen to her is all part of the plan. She instilled those values in her because she will carry Mythal into the next age. Just like it's likely that the egghead is also an unwitting pawn in her grand chess game.

    I think Flemeth did give the old god's soul to Solas, while keeping hers for Morrigan. I think Mythal is still unsure of Fen'Harel's plan so she needs a backup plan - someone who can stand at the same level as Solas if things go south. Morrigan will have to accept being Mythal's new body, like it or not (she did say in Origins that she didn't want to be the next in line)

      And that has never interfered with custom world states, except maybe for Leliana. But for those who don't know the devs already stated that because of the Leliana's death backlash (which caused them to make up the Lyrium Ghost thing) they are not going to do that again, and will not give a major role to characters that might be dead for future games.
      Also, don't forget that in the "default" version, the Warden made the ultimate sacrifice, which means the Dark Ritual wasn't made, thus, there is no Old God Soul.

    I think Mythal wants the evanuris dead, and she's using Solas to free them. After he tears down parts of the veil, the evanuris will enter the world and decimate his forces. It will then be up to us to stop them all. Morrigan will be part of that effort, since she will have the ability and knowledge to navigate the Crossroads and the Fade using her dragon form. As for Solas, I think Mythal wants him to rest and be at peace. Just let the world be as it is, which at that point might exist as it did before the tearing down of the veil, just that certain areas will be blended with the Fade to allow the elvhen to exist in the Crossroads.
    Flemeth, either directly, or through Morrigan and Merrill have guided each protagonist along a certain path. The Hero or Warden Commander are off finding the cure for the taint, which means curing the red lyrium and the idol as well. The Champion helped unearth that idol, and could be involved in Grey Warden business which is connected to the taint, and also might have knowledge of the eluvians through Merrill. The Inquisitor is involved in both Warden business and red lyrium, and might have the knowledge from the Well.
    I think Mythal is betting on the protagonists to solve her problem for her after Solas does the heavy lifting and drops the veil enough to unleash the evanuris. This is the reckoning Flemeth spoke of. She sees Elvhenan as a failed state, and believes the only remaining things to do are put the leaders to rest and give Solas some peace. Let him become Wisdom in the Fade and Crossroads where he wanted to be all along, and let the mortals have the world they've always known. And let those with the ability explore freedom in the parts of the world that reach the Crossroads and Fade. But for now, so long as the music plays, they dance.

    Maybe it was headcanon, but I always thought Flemeth's daughters were abducted & adopted, rather than her being their biological mother.
    But either way, I do hope Morrigan features in DA:D, given her ties to the old magic, & Mythal, and her stated goal always being to preserve and discover it's secrets. I can definitely see a version of her, without a child, ready and willing to help Solas tear down the veil and unleash all the magic that was lost. But with having Kieran, and how much motherhood has shifted her priorities, I think it's more likely she would side against him, despite her fascinations with his plan. It would definitely make for a major divergent consequence from actions all the way back in the 1st game, in a very believable way. I'd be surprised and impressed if that level of difference was incorporated into the game; I know all choices tend to just level out.

    I think ‘Flemeth’ is a title, not actually a name. In that Morrigan was next in line to possess the soul of Mythal, passed on by each predecessor before her, and upon reading her mothers grimoire, misinterpreted what information was being put forward. With each passing, the accumulation of Mythals knowledge and emotions are shared with each possessor, more or less merging minds and personalities. Not that she would be “less Morrigan”, but more of those who came before, ultimately becoming part of a greater whole.

    1. Flemeth will return in some form since she can transfer her essence in to other bodies and she knew perfectly well what Solas was about to (She wasn't stupid) do so i would not put it pass her to transfer her power to some where, where it could stay safe untill she can rise again. 2. Ever wondered why Solas was so angry if you drank from the well if especially if u romanced him. I think he knew that you were now in possession of power that you can use to stop him. 3.Morrigan is Flemeth in the sense that Flemeth knew what was coming and she taught her daughter everything she needed in order to help to save this world. Morrigan was bitter about the way her mother treated her that she was very cold towards her. I believe that Flemeth loves Morrigan more then she thinks but in order to make sure she survives she had to be cold because we do not know the history of her other daughters...

I dunno- the idea shes the next goddess and has the inquisitor bound to her is much more interesting that the alternate- "She drank from the well of sorrows, but its okay because she became the next Mythal." More drama- especially if she shows up in DAD and commands the Inquisitor to actually kill Solas if they hesitate.
    Again- more drama is always good in my book

      I don't think who drank from the Well will change that at all.
      Morrigan was raised and it's destined to be the next vessel of Mythal.
      Don't get confused, the one who drank from the well will be just Mythal's Slave, not the next Mythal. In the case is Morrigan, that will only make things easier for Flemeth to pass her godhood to her daughter.
      Flemet even tells that to the Inquisitor, she has no plans to keep him/her as a slave, technically she told him/her in that scene that he/she is free to go and has no further interest in the Inquisitor.
      The Inquisitor drinking from the Well will probably affect something of the interaction with Solas, and even so, don't expect much, because I seriously doubt the Inquisitor will have a big role in the next game.

    I believe Mythal is going to end up being on the side of keeping the veil while Solas is trying to hard wipe Thedas and open it. I'd like to think she understands that causing an apocalypse to to restore the elves is no less evil than what the rest of the Evanirus would do. After 300ish years of possessing Flemeth(s?) she has a perspective on non-elves and just what would be sacrificed by her seeking to destroy the veil. I think Morrigan will willingly inherit the piece of Mythal left in the Eluvian after gaining the understanding of what is actually going on and work with her to stop Solas, afterwards becoming a symbol of a new age where elves can begin moving forward again and coexist with non-elves.

    why would morrigan fight to preserve the magic of the elven? because it is very powerful and elegant and amazing and awesome. Imagine an apocalypse came and much of the current knowledge of say quantum mechanics was lost. Regardless of the western origins of QM and schrodinger equation and electrodynamics, any good physicist would weep at the loss of knowledge and try to restore it. same with anything. Mages are mages, regardless of their race, gender, faith etc. If you are good at your job, and Morrigan is one of the best, it has a significance hard to shake off. Now if your job, gives you nearly limitless power and you are a survivor in a world that is increasingly hostile and dangerous. Preserving knowledge and gaining its power is your logical way out. There is nothing strange about Morrigan's desire to protect what was once great, and it is said that current Teventir compares nothing to the true famous glory of the ancient Arlathan. Still, It would make sense that Morrigan at least stay a while in Teventir learning by observing and then maybe moves on. Strong, elegant, determined, talented and hard worker; I guess she is the rightful heir of Flemth no matter how she hates that idea.

    If you're sharp, Saria, you'll notice that Flemeth had placed the Old God's soul through the Eluvian just before Solas arrived.
    She had actually sent that soul to someplace else. Where that is... well, it's a secret that only the Dragon Age writers know.
    Regardless of whichever World State that Thedas was left in, it seems Morrigan may have a more significant role to play in the future.

    I think Flemeth didn't want to possess Morrigan...what all the "Flemeths" do is transfer the soul of Mythal from one to another, before natural death. They do not lose their will, but it is perhaps modified by the will/power of Mythal being inside of them.
    This is why Flemeth remarks "a sould cannot be forced upon the unwilling"...Morrigan is not going to be possessed, but to preserve a soul of a goddess. And, well, she kinda likes "preserving".
    And It is probably gonna happen.

    Or, her Son is actualy the only one capable of fighting the Dread Wolf/Solas.
    But one thing in my personal Head Canon is safe to say - she is compared to Flemeth these Days on a complete other Level of skeeming then her ol´Mother.
    Flemeth was hiding in the Wildernis for Century´s. Morrigan learned from this misstakes and became a part of Socity, a counceler for Kings/Queens. Wich provides way more influence, then living in a Hut in the Woods.
    And She has way more "friends".. well... knows more People - also Solas threw away his Cover. And if Flemeth wouldn´t had trusted Solas - I think he would have had a tougher Time of killing her.
    But - The Inqusition knows now about him.
    It´s safe to say, she is in a way better position to fight Solas then her Mother. - Flemeth literaly walked into the Knife like a Lamb, a mistake Morrigan won´t do twice (if u played in Witch Hunt the Angry Ex Boy Frind). And if Solas targets the Boy also -- he has to face the Wrath of an angry Mommy Morrigan, with accses to the Eluvian´s Network. -- and oh Boy, you do not wanne have an angry Magical Mommy Morrigan coming for you.
    Solas is like Teryn Loghain -- he's got more on his plate than he can handle.
    ((But again -- That´s my personal Head Canon at this point. Rumors !! State that at the end of 2023 we MAYBE get Dragon Age 4 - but EA is shrouded in silence, so - no confirmation here.
    One things sure, one day we get Dragon Age 4 - we gonna meet Solas again, and oh boy do i wanne clap that Guy ))

    I don't know what to think of the Dragon Age series. From someone who loved Origins, wondered WTF was going on with DA2, and Inquisition being so far separated from the other 2 installments, it just seems like a mess of a series. Unlike the Mass Effect trilogy, where all 3 games were telling a coherent story, Dragon Age just seems to be all over the place, using npc's (Morrigan & Flemeth) to tie the stories together. I feel like they're 3 different games with the same name, and unless you spend hours delving into the lore, non of it makes any sense. 🤷‍♂

    Well, the theories presented in this video completely rely on the fact that you had to have allowed Morrigan to carry out the Dark ritual, helped her do her companion quest, and let her drink the Well of Sorrows to be the "final priest" as you said.🧙🏻🐺
    I do however believe that they kind of did write/set her up to be the inheritor/vessel of Mythal but that was only if Morrigan would be freely willing to do so as Flemeth said. They wouldn't force it into the story however because it wouldn't work narratively AT ALL without completely retconning player actions and forcing Morrigan to have taken all of those actions. Mythal's will/spirit was also transferred into Solas and into the Eluvian at the end of the base game anyways. Kieran and the soul of Urthemiel also simply don't exist in a bunch of player playthroughs. They've learned their lesson from ME:3 (hopefully) so there's no way I see them just erasing all of those important player choices and forcing Morrigan into them in Dreadwolf.
    So, what do I think will happen to Morrigan? Well, motherhood has changed her, and she now lives for Kieran's well-being (if the Dark ritual was done and/or if he's just a normal child). As much as she longs for knowledge and the truths of the old/ancient magics, she would not tear down the current world to accomplish it. Purely due to the fact that Kieran (and the Warden if romanced) may die in that process if it were to happen. The DAO version of her would likely 100% be fine with it but the current version of her? Not so much. Even if you hadn't gone through with the Dark ritual, Morrigan's character has matured so much, and she doesn't wish to be used by her mother (and by Solas as well) in such a way.

  • @kallianpublico7517
    @kallianpublico7517 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Souls of the Evanuris are immortal and manifest in humans such as Flemeth. So the Dragons causing the Blight are the Old Gods not the Evanuris. What is the relationship between the Evanuris and the Old Gods? How could Mythal draw out and control the soul of the old god Urthemiel?
    In any case the "calling", what is it? In Tolkien's Silmarillion the Earth is "sung" into being by Eru and his creations. As a song 🎵 the Earth has a beginning and an end: a fate. The notes and lyrics thus form the "fate" of the Earth. As beings, the Valar, that was part of the creation of the song knows the "future" so to speak. The future of the Earth: its evolution.
    The part of the song sung by each being at the beginning is known to them. Those notes belong and are part of them, therefore they know it well. But they do not know the others' notes as well, nor do they
    know Eru's part. They heard the song 🎵 but they did not sing all the parts.
    Using this as a model I believe Bioware is signaling a change in chorus, an evolution if you will. A shift from the old powers to a new power. Not a return of the Evanuris or the Old Gods but a shift, perhaps, towards the Maker. An Exalted March to overthrow the Evanuris and the Old Gods, a final battle that will herald a new reign in Thedas. A reign with new sovereigns and new slaves.
    As such Mythal and Solas will disappear only to take on new roles as mercy and trickster, new identities employing the spirit if not the strategies of the old world. Magic will slowly disappear as blue lyrium and red lyrium join and become something new, if not less volatile.
    As for Morrigan, she will cling to the old ways but only in the shadows, as any exhibition of her power will mark her as a pariah to be feared, shunned or killed outright. An obsolete thing diminished by the ripping of the Veil and the Fade becoming remote. The Fade will survive but those attempting to access it will be blocked. Not by a new Veil but by something intrinsic to each being. A new morality.
    Or it could go the other way, from the Maker back to Elvhen rule with humans as slaves.
