THEDAS; a fanmix collection for the settings of dragon age: dreadwolf. listen on spotify: TEVINTER / ANTIVA / ANDERFELS / RIVAIN
TEVINTER /
opulent, magnificent, but creepy, sinister... corrupt city of darkness and hedonism. immense gothic cathedrals of dark stone tower above the downtrodden masses that scurry beneath. so much history, so much culture, but the blood will never wash out
ANTIVA /
italian, with hints of spain. neighbours sit around in the streets to play guitars or lutes and sing/clap together. beautiful twisting spires, refinement, but there's a seedy underbelly, the stink of leather and the risk of murder- the people are joyful nevertheless- wine, food, song flows from every open window.
ANDERFELS /
vast, open, nothingness. a feeling of pervasive doom, a searching for some sign of the maker in the unforgiving wastelands under an expanse of empty sky. grim soldiers clad in grey march across the dusty landscape, the king has long abandoned his people who must fend for themselves against the constant threat of darkspawn.
RIVAIN /
their lives are intertwined with the sea. fishing nets, the smell of salt. pirates and sailors come and go, drinking spiced rum at the taverns. and there's an old magic there which sits on the skin, it's as natural to them as breathing. respected seeresses with wrinkled, weather-beaten faces ply their trade under the smoke of burning herbs and cured fish. women sell branches of rosemary on street corners. hints of spanish romani culture and music, also north african and al-andalus.
Are you there for the gameplay, the plot, the romances, or just to see what beloved characters are up to?
Thank you so much for asking!!!! <3 Such a good question, too!
My hopes for DA4:
- MINRATHOUS! Tevinter Nights really hyped me up for this :) I want to feel, live and breathe this city! I hope to see magic permeating everyday lives of the people, and I'm kinda hoping to see some cutthroat northern politics in play. If given the choice, I'll create a tevene protagonist and immerse in the culture.
- I definitely want updates on the lives of our previous protagonists and companions! The more cameos the merrier. I wanted to list my "most want to see again" here, but, really, ALL OF THEM <3 Basically please, please, Bioware, make DA4 a nostalgia fest.
- Truly curious about how Thedas' fate will play out! Fen'Harel might make it or break it :O I want to be able to solve the mysteries of the blight, ancient elves and the titans... so many loose ends!
- I'm only mildly hyped for the new characters and I try not to set my expectations for companions too high... For example, I can't really explain why, but most Companions from ME Andromeda felt kind of underwhelming and lackluster... On the other hand, both Tevinter Nights and DA Absolution are FULL of great blorbos, so maybe there's hope yet. I would especially love to see Lucanis and Illario Dellamorte, they seemed so cool!
We’ve got a HUGE milestone for Dragon Age: Dreadwolf’s production to scream about, along with a brand new upcoming Dark Horse Dragon Age comic series! This one was soooo exciting to put together!
