RELATED: The Case for a Dragon Age Trilogy Remaster After Mass Effect: Legendary Edition All fans know for sure is that the Grey Wardens are inherently connected to the Darkspawn, and that whatever created the Darkspawn appeared to originate beyond the Veil. It could see them freed of the Taint and the Calling entirely. Grey Wardens also have the Taint in them after the Joining, hearing the calls of the Darkspawn and the Archdemon during a Blight, and eventually succumbing to the Calling and wandering into the Deep Roads to die.īringing down the Veil could see all of Thedas' Grey Wardens suddenly feel the urge of the Calling at once. Even the Archdemons themselves aren't the true source these Old Gods are corrupted by the Darkspawn Taint, not the other way around. Whatever ends up happening, Solas' plan to bring down the Veil could unleash whatever force is behind the Blights. With the Maker's very existence still hotly debated, it's even possible that the Elven "god" mages Solas trapped in the Fade long ago were somehow behind the Darkspawn. Nonetheless, Solas' plan to bring down the Veil makes it seem extremely likely that Dragon Age 4 will deal with the true origins of the Darkspawn. This account is contested by the Imperial Chantry, and Corypheus himself claims that when the Magisters entered the Fade they found the Maker's throne empty. According to the Chantry in Orlais, this act of hubris corrupted the Golden City, turning it black. They entered the Fade and the Maker's Golden City. The Darkspawn were originally created when the Magisters Sidereal of the Tevinter Imperium - including Inquisition's Corypheus and the Architect from Awakening - broke through the Veil using blood magic. Solas is planning to bring down the Veil between the Fade and Thedas, a barrier which the Dread Wolf himself put up eons before the main series takes place. The potential return of Alistair or a recruited Loghain Mac Tir helps somewhat, but ultimately the role of the Grey Wardens feels reduced in Inquisition.ĭragon Age 4 has the potential to reveal huge amounts about the Grey Wardens, and it will be vital that players have a companion who can offer an insider perspective on the organization. More to the point, the reveal that Blackwall was never a Grey Warden meant that players had very little personal access to the Wardens in Inquisition. However, knowing that he had not completed the Joining yet and fearing that his reputation would lead to the assumption that he had killed the Grey Warden, Thomas Rainier took Blackwall's badge and name, assuming his identity.īlackwall's backstory is an interesting twist, though he is never really made sympathetic enough for most players to feel comfortable forgiving him for allowing the murder of an innocent woman and her children. The real Blackwall sacrificed his life to save the new recruit. However, while journeying into the Deep Roads to collect Darkspawn blood for Rainier's Joining ritual, the pair were attacked. While on the run he was recruited to the Grey Wardens by the real Warden-Constable Blackwall. He is in fact a man named Thom Rainier who, while working as an Orlesian captain, allowed a family to be massacred. Paired with the presence of Cassandra and Iron Bull in the Inquisitor's roster, and many fans found themselves bringing Blackwall along for only a few missions in the campaign.īlackwall was introduced as a Grey Warden, but it is later revealed that this is a ruse. Dragon Age: Inquisition's Blackwall was not a poorly written character, though some fans found him less inspiring than Dragon Age's best companions.
