Thanks for reading! I hope y’all are staying safe during these crazy times! While it will mostly still be guess work, it is a starting place…. It would be a fun project to create a visual dictionary of common iconography used in Dragon Age and their likely meanings. That is exciting because the imagery in Solas’ art shows up in other places that were not created by our favorite hobo apostate with god thighs. It also shows us that when we see those same symbols used in other artwork, we can reasonably infer that they mean the same thing. This leads to theories about these art works being more grounded in reasonable assumptions. So what can we do with this information? Knowing one symbol often makes others more decipherable. I’ll have to update that soon! When the triangle is the Veil… ![]() ![]() Sweet! That turns that image in an interesting direction! It still is the Evanuris trapped beyond the Veil, but the central symbol may mean more than I thought initially. If that is the case, then I need to revise an analysis I did in another post. Makes me wonder if the triangle represents the Veil from the mortal realm while the diamond shape is how it looks from a Faded perspective. Thus image of the Sentinel Elves is interesting because we see the Veil triangles again, but also the diamond shapes on the right. The Veil triangles also appears in some of the tarot cards he created:Ī demon with the mark of its Veil crossing fresh on its back. We already know that Nick Thornborrow uses symbols in a deliberate manner so it stands to reason that these triangles always represent the Veil, whether Solas was the artist or not. (The Veil is stretched too thin and chaos engulfs the world? And that Maker forsaken idol is the key? Yeah, that totally sounds like something that could happen in DA4.) You can see a faded, failing Veil in the top right corner of the Dread Wolf Rises mural. These Veil triangles seem to be a go to symbol in Nick Thornborrow’s Dragon Age art (and if you can’t see these images, check out the beautiful full size versions there!). And the sickness grows from within.Īt least, that is one interpretation. Even now they watch through the mirrors, twisted and vengeful, waiting for a time they can return. Thus the Veil keeps the Evanuris imprisoned in the Fade. More war and more Titans felled for their orbs. The Veil sundered the world of mortals from the Fade, but the alternative was worse. ![]() He walked among The People, freeing them of their bonds, cloaked in a proto-Veil (***) that shielded him and his followers from the eyes of the Evanaris.įen’Harel summoned all of his strength and cunning to raise the Veil across Thedas. Taking this as a working theory, then some interesting tin-foil hat analyses of the his other frescos is possible. These triangles are the Veil in Solas’ art. I think many of us thought that the triangles could represent magic or the Fade, but it seems to be more specific than that. Now that alone might not be groundbreaking. So this image may well be meant to show Solas creating the Veil. ….it is very likely that they mean the same thing here. And if they represent the Veil between the Fade and the Mortal World then… Here they are clearly labeled as a visual representation of the Veil. What an interesting depiction of the Veil! Complete with spikey projections!! Then I thought…we’ve seen those triangles before. And while the book’s map is short on details, it had one very interesting image that caught my eye. Tevinter Nights! Still reading it, but you know me and maps.
