These are no trifling matters!

I’ve never cared so much about the game’s lore before.

What had other people missed?

Dragon Age: The Veilguard antagonist Solas turns to the camera as a magical green explosion erupts around him.

But how much stock can we put in that legend?

These are what become Archdemons and lead Blights across the lands, like gigantic flying lighthouses.

We fight one at the end of Dragon Age: Origins - do you remember?

Two characters at either horizontal end of the screen, in a grey and desaturated bizarre world. It’s Solas and Rook in Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

I do because it was a very tough fight.

But where do they actually come from, these Old Gods, and why does this happen?

Also, what of the two Old Gods that haven’t awoken yet - when will they reappear?

And perhaps more importantly, what will happen when theydisappear- will the Blight be wiped out?

This lore is vitally important now because it’s the set-up for The Veilguard.

Who are these gods and what really happened to them?

If they have, what secrets might they impart to us about it?

Might they even be what the Chantry believes to be the Maker?

And how do they relate to the Old Gods and the Blight?

The internet is abuzz with people thinking similar things.

It’s the glue holding this community together.

Can any ending really stand up to the myriad imagined ones we’ve already created for ourselves?

I do know, however, we’ll be hearing much more about it soon.
