I think that Bioware should have let me write The Stolen Throne based on a pitch by David Gaider because I think I would have done a better job of it than he did

#dragon age #dao #the stolen throne #dragon age the stolen throne #theres an interesting story here but david is NOT a novelest

I’m currently reading the Dragon Age books (I know, I know…very late to the party haha). I haven’t read a lot of them yet, only finished The Stolen Throne the other day and started the Calling a few days ago.

And eventhough I really don’t regret reading them, especially since they really add to your perspective and knowledge and can be quite entertaining when it comes to the dialogue…please tell me they get better over time?

Any opinions here on the books? Did you enjoy reading them? Do you have a favorite? (No hardcore spoilers though please!)

I used to believe reading the prequel novels wouldn't turn me into someone who low key simps for loghain.

I was wrong.

SO, i plan to read all the dragon age books and comics while waiting for the dread wolf!

I’ve started on The stolen throne, but I’m wondering what order they should be read? Order of release, or something else? This is kinda the idea I’ve gotten from the web, but a few comics are a little harder to figure out. :’) Am I missing something? Does some of them not matter at all or are unrelated?

I’m really excited tho, and plan to do some book Fanart when I’m not reading huehuehue. Im also not much of a reader to begin with, so this will be quite a ride!

When Maric told Loghain that Rowan was promised to him since birth and Loghain went "oh" I thought it was because he was in love with Maric and was disappointed that they couldn't be together 💀 I'm sorry,,, I'm stupid,,,

damn kind of obsessed with the fact that The Warden and Loghain basically had the same start to their heroes journeys

#join an army. gets overwhelmed. flee into the korcari wilds. meet flemeth. after dealing with her riddles she sends a guide to lead you out #dragon age #origins #the stolen throne #loghain mac tir #the hero of ferelden

Maric just shrugging off a cryptic warning Flemeth gave him about a man he just met not 3 days ago will never not be funny-

Anyway here's the Guerrin timeline as best I can piece it together, if it's useful to anyone!

Updated 7/14/23 with corrections & additions.

~8:84 Blessed - Eamon is born. (The Calling - He's 15 at the time of the Battle of West Hill, which occurred in 8:99 Blessed.)

8:99 Blessed - The Battle of West Hill. Arl Rendorn Guerrin, Eamon's father, is killed in action. Maric Theirin is presumed dead but reappears in Gwaren, which is then taken by the rebels. The Battle of River Dane deals a decisive defeat to the Orlesian forces, though the conflict is not completely over. It will take several more years to completely drive out the occupying lords. However, Emperor Florian officially withdraws support for King Meghren.

9:02 Dragon - Eamon, 18, returns to Redcliffe to claim his place as arl, but find it still under Orlesian control, and works with the rebel forces to reclaim it. Isolde, the daughter of one of the Orlesian governors, is sympathetic to the rebels and becomes infatuated with Eamon, who does not return her feelings; nevertheless, she feeds information to the rebels, and chooses to stay in Ferelden after her family is driven out. Isolde is four years younger than Eamon, making her 14 at the time. (WoT v.2 p. 102, 106)

9:02 Dragon - Maric kills the usurper King Meghren in a dual, officially ending the occupation and winning Ferelden's freedom. (There is a noted discrepancy in the dates between the epilogue of The Stolen Throne, and World of Thedas vol. 1, the latter of which puts the duel at 9:00 Dragon. Given other events, the later date seems more plausible.)

~9:08 Dragon - Six years after their initial meeting, Eamon (24) meets Isolde (20) again in Denerim. They quickly become involved and are married. (WoT v.2 p. 103)

9:10 - Alistair is born to Fiona and King Maric. His parents give him up to be raised at Redcliffe Castle, inventing a story about his mother being a human serving girl. (The Calling.)

~9:20 Dragon - Isolde becomes pregnant with Connor after difficulty conceiving. This causes rumors about Alistair (10) being Eamon's bastard to resurface, and Eamon sends him away to a monastery to spare his wife's feelings. Connor is born soon after.

~9:29 Dragon - Short of taking his vows as a templar, Alistair (19) is conscripted into the Grey Wardens. (WoT v.2 p.79)

~9:30 Dragon - Connor Guerrin (10) shows signs of magic. Isolde hires an apostate, Jowan, to tutor Connor in secret. Eamon (46) is poisoned by Jowan and falls ill. (Origins.)

~9:31 Dragon - Following the Blight, Eamon decides to stay in Denerim, serving as an advisor to the throne, eventually declaring his brother Teagan the new Arl of Redcliffe. (Origins, WoT v.2 p.104)

?:?? Dragon - (If Connor is dead) Rowan Guerrin is born to Isolde and Eamon. After a difficult birthing, Isolde dies. (Potential Origins Epilogue slide.)

?:?? Dragon - Rowan Guerrin shows signs of magic and is sent to the Circle, though her father continues to visit her. (Potential Origins Epilogue slide.)

i dont think im done talking abt this, actually. i'm going to try and explain how stupid this whole thing is because there's always SOMEONE going on about how if it wasn't for the circles, and the parallels of the circles to real-life atrocities, "the mage-templar debate" would be a two-sided issue.

actually, it's not.

the "mage-templar debate" is not an issue of ethics even before addressing the conditions of the circle, because you have other options.

the basic premise of the argument is "mages are inherently a danger to themselves and everyone around them. is locking them up to reduce the harm they pose to the general population the correct ethical decision?" but the entire concept is already bullshit even before you address the conditions of the circle, which is where most people claim the civil rights movement comparisons come from.

because. CANONICALLY. you have other options. you have options within the context of the games to reduce the "threat" or "danger" of magic. there's no cases of mass abominations in rivain. there's no cases of mass abominations (as we know understand & abominations anyway) amongst the avvar. there's no cases of mass abominations in tevinter. from the get-go the idea that "mages have to be locked up for their and everyone's safety" is already bullshit, before you even touch the issue of the circles. even before you get to the conditions of the circle, the very existence of mages in rivain and nevarra and the avvar and tevinter already renders the argument null and void.

from it's very inception, the entire premise -- mages are inherently a danger to themselves and everyone around them -- is proven to be a belief, not a fact.

#if you wanna argue rivain and the avvar or whatever are dai-canon additions. tevinter has existed LITERALLY since fucking.#stolen throne. like please shut up lmaooooo #from the get-go it was clear that the belief that mages are inherently dangerous is bullshit #and LATER it got two-sides'd. it was ALWAYS a civil rights issue in the context of the game from the get go #COMPARABLE to the issue of civil rights of elves in the game #dao never fucking shied away from the incisive analysis #da2's narrative structure FORCED a two-sidesing bc of the nature of hawke's role as the protagonist #and dai was just imperialist apologist nonsense #and giving the mages ‟dangerous magical powers‟ to ‟justify‟ their treatment in-game is literally just bioware going ''what if there was a #of oppressed people (oppressed based on a set of erroneous beliefs) but the bigots were RIGHT''#AND YOU'RE JUST GOING ALONG WITH IT???#it's not the hot take you think it is lmaoooo #dragon age #my da meta #anti chantry

I do think that The Stolen Throne is a very compelling arguement to why you shouldn't make Alistair king because watching Maric try and become someone who can be king is ROUGH man
