#we're told that there's a debate among scholars over whether it really was a blight

Garahel: wait, you've not been with anyone at all after all these years? Isseya: no Garahel: really?! I thought you and Calien maybe- Isseya 'I'm too aroace for this shit': absolutely fucking not

#dragon age #the last flight #isseya #garahel #aroace warden queen of my heart #its just hands down my favourite da novel #it really captures the true horror of the blight in a way that origins doesn't #its just constant war day in and day out for years with no end in sight #origins doesn't really show just how Strange the fifth blight was because it was so short #we're told that there's a debate among scholars over whether it really was a blight #but the games never really illustrate WHY that doubt exists #the last flight nails the essence of how devastating a blight is and even then #its one of the shorter ones #like the first blight lasted nearly two centuries and the second one was 90 years #the third (15 years) and fourth blights (10 years) shows that thedas collectively got better at fighting blights #likely because the wardens got better at recognising the signs and preempting them #and the leaders of thedas learned to trust the wardens. if they said 'blight's coming' then they responded #cailan and celene both proved that in origins #i'm babbling now but last flight is so good guys
