#i understand that it's likely a reference to the ninth roman legion that disappeared into thin air

[duriens]

so we all agree that kirkwall is both horrifying and fascinating and i wish they'd delved more into its bloody history beyond the snippets we get from the codexes of the band of three. like hello?? three seekers of truth - among which a dalish mage - scurrying about the sewers and lower passages of the city, discovering that kirkwall was designed as some sort of magical symbol, has grooves in the sewers allowing the flood of blood downward for blood magic purposes, and last but not least realizing that its circle of magi had a much higher number of failed harrowings & episodes of blood magic hysteria than basically any other circle in existence??? you cant leave me hanging like that. why was the veil so thin there even before tevinter came? why were they weakening it further?? what was tevinter doing with all those disappeared slaves every year and the huge blood magic ritual involving thousands of slaves and the city itself being a magic symbol??? did the band ever find out if the Forbidden Ones are the same Forgotten Ones of dalish lore??? why was xebenkeck called 'forgotten one'??? hello????? what the fuck is up in kirkwall??????

#i think i need another game set in kirkwall but this time done RIGHT #ALSO what's up with the legions tevinter sent to kirkwall that completely vanished??? #i understand that it's likely a reference to the ninth roman legion that disappeared into thin air #since tevinter is modeled after the roman empire etc etc #but i also want to know WHERE THEY WENT #WHERE'D THEY END UP BIOWARE #why is kirkwall so damn dangerous in the first place #p #kirkwall #dragon age #dragon age 2 #tevinter #the band of three #dragon age meta
