In 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dragon Age's expansive lore, it can be tough to keep up with all the moving parts. Almost every codex entry you read could send you down a rabbit hole if you let it! Thankfully, you've got lots of time to catch up before the next Dragon Age game, Dreadwolf, comes out.

The Titans are a particularly puzzling mystery that is only explored in depth in the DLC for 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dragon Age: Inquisition called The Descent. Here you go int🧸o the Deep Roads with a Shaper named Valta and learn ♈more about these incredible creatures. This article explains everything we know about them so far.

What/Who Are The Titans?

The Titans are enormous creatures made of rock. They are so large that a human standing next to its heart is like a fly beside the heart of a human. As a result, only parts of them can be seen by us at ♚any one time. Titans are sometimes also called "the pillars of the 𒉰earth."

Titans shape the world of Thedas itself, by singing into the Stone. They have not done so in years, ho﷽wever, because they have been dormant, deep underground.

Lyrium is actually the blood of the Titans. It was previously unexplained why lyrium could contract the Blight and become red lyrium, considering 168澳洲幸运5💝开奖网:the Blight only affects living organisms and lyrium was thought to be a mineral. As the blood of the Titans, though, lyrium would be undeniably susceptib🐟le to corruption.

War Between Titans And Elves

In the time of the Evanuris (the anci🦂ent elven mages wo💛rshiped as gods), the Titans were active in the world and shaped the Stone as they saw fit. However, their shaping eventually started to affect and destroy the elven cities built on the ground, so the elves took up arms against them. Codex entries discuss how they wanted to make the surface of the world beautiful, but the presence of the Titans meant nothing they made could be permanent. It's unclear whether this was the war that the Evanuris be🃏came powerful from or one that happened after ꩲthey were already leading.

According to songs sung in her honor, Mythal seems to have defeated at least one Titan during the war and the elves claimed victory; whether it was truly a victory is hard to say. Did Mythal simply put the Titans to sleep? Did she manage to kill one, causing the others to back down? Did she negotiate some kind of truce? What is known is that, from then on, the Titans lay dormant beneath the earth, and elves began to mine the Titans' blood: lyrium.

An eon later, for an unknown reason, the elves began collapsing their entrances into the Deep Roads. We only know that something down there terrified them, something that the Evanuris could "unleash" in their "greed." They wrote: "Let no one wake its anger." It's unclear exactly what terrified the elves. Perhaps the Titans began to awake again of their own accord? Perhaps the elves mined too much lyrium and upset the Titans? Perhaps the elves dug so deep that they came across the Titans again? Answering these questions would require a lot of context that we do not yet have; we can only say for sure that this event sparked the elven uprising against the Evanuris.

The Dwarves

It's obvious that ancient dwarves once had a close relationship with the Titans, but the exact nature of that relationship is unknown. The living dwarves have no records of Titans in their Memories (a set of historical𒀰 archives located in Orzammar); during The Descent, Shaper Valta speculates that the Shapers (archivists) of old may have erased information about Titans from the Memories.

We do know that the Titans consider the dwarves to be their children. This may mean that the Titans created the dwarven race. Some dwarves actually still live inside the Titan, drinking lyrium to sustain themselves and protecting the Titan wiཧth their lives from the "impure."

Valta's story from The Descent may provide insight into what the Titan-dwarven relationship once was. Upon connecting with the Titan towards the end of the DLC, she describes herself as a "pure" dwarf now, with access to unique (and seemingly magical) abiliti𒅌es. A page from Valta's journal, discovered upon returning to Skyhold, details how "something caused the Titans to fall" (presumably the elves) and, subsequently, "everything changed and the dwarven race broke in two." This suggests that the Titans and dwarves may have had a kind of symbiotic relationship, with the two parts Valta refers to being the Ti🐬tans and the dwarves themselves.

Information from other sources seems to support this theory.

First, in one Codex entry about the elves as they prepare to go to war against the Titans, an elven writer discusses the Titans' "workers," who are "witless" and "soulless." This may refer to dwarves as they were with the Titans.

Second, if you are a dwarven Inquisitor and talk to Morrigan's son, Kieran, while he has the soul of an Old God, you can make a joke about being taller. Kieran responds that "you can't be taller. Not without the Titans."

Third, one War Table operation called 'The Arcanist and the Fade' asks the Inquisitor to give Dagna access to items that have been exposed to the tears in the Veil and the energy of the Fade so that she can study them. After the operation is complete, you can talk to Dagna about her findings. She describes how she was studying a rune and suddenly she "was tall. Really tall. And I thought... I thought all the thoughts." Her experience seems to indicate, when combined with other knowledge we have about the Titans, that the dwarves and Titans were deeply linked and might have even had a hive mind of some kind.

More Of Dagna's Thoughts On Her Experience

Upon asking: &quo෴t;You felt talle♎r? How much taller?"

"Like, mountain-tall. Or I was the mountain. But I was moving. I felt dizzy. You know what I remembered? Watching a Shaperate carve the Wall of Memory. Except... big."

Upon asking: "What do you mean when you say "🐓thought all the thoughts?""

"I don't know? As if, for a moment, I was around all my people. And my thought was all of theirs?"

Upon asking:♏ "Your thou꧑ghts were their thoughts?"

"No, no, my thought was all of our thoughts. Like parts. Ugh, words are mush. Maybe that's what the Stone feels like. Or we think it feels like. If we think it feels? Creepy."

Upon asking: "So tranquil and dwa▨rves are linked to lyrium, but also not linked🅺?"

"Like the lyrium needs to flow, but if you're part of it, it takes you with it. So you can't be part of it. That makes me sad. I'm not sure why."

Will The Titans Be Important In Dragon Age: Dreadwolf?

With so little information about the next Dragon Age game, it's hard to say exactly which stories will make a return. We do know that the Dragon Age team isn't afraid to make DLC stories critical to the next game (like when Corypheus, who appeared in DLC for Dragon Age 2, was the antagonist of Dragon Age: Inquisition).

We can only speculate and suggest that it is likely that we will learn more about the Titans in the next game. After all, they are clearly connec𒅌ted to ancient elven history, and Solas being the primary character is bound to bring that to the forefront of Dragon Age: Dreadwolf. In addition, several codex entries from the DLC Trespasser — which sets up Dragon Age: Dreadwolf — also refer to the Tᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚitans and expand our understanding of them. At the end of the day, though, we can only wait and see.
