I wondered on a certain thing.

Lady of the forest said "This is an old forest, mortal, and I am its spirit, its heart. I was not summoned from across the Fade, but pulled from the rocks, the trees and the very soil. I was then bound into the body of the wolf who became Witherfang: not possessing a host like a sylvan or one of the undead, but bound into a single being. But such a process could not have been accomplished without Zathrian's blood...a great deal of his blood. The curse and his life...are intertwined".

This can mean there are other kind of spirits, those who exist in world of motrals, not in their bodies but in the world they stomp on. They are not mentioned in books of Tevinter or any Theodosian scholars but in lost elven scrolls, Zathrian was one of few who had chance to encounter such spirit.

OMerrill said "We've never thought of the Fade as the home of our gods". Maybe Dalish deities are some kind of the spirits of nature and the Maker is a powerul fade spirit. OFF TOPIC BEGIN They were discovered by elven and human mages and they recognised them as their gods (To the anti-Chantry fanatics: the Maker isn't an imagination of the Chantry, the tales about the Golden City are older than Andraste or Grey Wardens. 1st Blight occured 2 centuries before the Chantry was found. Corypheus mentioned that he and his coulages were searching the Golden City). OFF TOPIC END.

Those spirits not from the Fade I write about have nothing in common with the Fade spirits, who are alien to them in exact meaning of this world. Connecting with such spirits requires an old forgotten magic known by Dalish Keeper like Zathrian. He was a blood mage, but I think that's something more and his blood was one of the sources to such magic not only source, it must be a magic older than Tevinter. No known magister made a curse as powerful as Zathrian, because he has a special knowladge about elven magic from times of Arlathan, not much about it but still something.

Have ypu ever considered in DA lore are spirits different than Fade spirits?78.8.133.142 (talk) 19:56, March 23, 2013 (UTC)

Not to bash your fine theory but the Lady of the Forest was summoned from the Fade. As many other spirits that exist in the physical realm but originally came from the Fade. Gaxgang existed in Thedas for who knows how long and yet he was from the Fade originally. There is NOTHING to prove that spirits come from some other place.

P.S. To pro-Chantry fanatics: "the Maker isn't an imagination of the Chantry, the tales about the Golden City are older than Andraste or Grey Wardens"

1. Gotta love the logic. The Golden City doesn't prove that the Maker exists. It might as well be Arlathan.

2. As you wrote yourself, "tales". Those tales are nothing but tales, they are not facts. -Algol- (talk) 17:50, March 24, 2013 (UTC)
