Should we make a seperate page for the Dalish? I think there's enough info that we could...Jackimole 19:01, February 19, 2010 (UTC)

Does anyone know what is meant by, 'Dalish elves are haunted by a werewolf curse that was created by the Dalish.'? Because the werewolf page says that if one is a werewolf you only have that one form, and that the transformation only occures after being bitten by another werewolf.

Hmmm I hadn't seen this sentence before. It does indeed sound incorrect. I assume the intent was to imply, that there are Dalish clans who fight with werewolves, though perhaps the Dalish, not the werewolves, are the cause of the fighting. So I shall change it accordingly :) Loleil 22:47, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

I have seen also the reference about that curse. I don't remember where, maybe in the Stolen Throne book?

I couldn't find any reference to a Dalish/werewolf curse, though I haven't read the book, so if it's in there feel free to add it back in :). Loleil 00:45, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

slavery

does anyone know for sure how long ago the elves were freed from human enslavement? I know in the video they have at the Dragon Age Origins website said that they had been free for many generations but they aren't very specific.

The elves rebelled against the Tevinter Imperium in the days of Andraste, which happened roughly 1000 years ago. But slavery still exists, to a certain extent, in the present-day Tevinter Imperium.

Indeed - this was also when the new homeland of the Dales was founded. --ManicMan 14:56, November 10, 2009 (UTC)

Sarethia lives where?

The first quote under "Alienages" is attributed to Sarethia of the Gwaren alienage, but the character creator datafiles contain an almost identical quote attributed to "Sarethia, hahren of the Highever alienage." Which is it? --Jabor 23:08, October 21, 2009 (UTC)

Well I just had a look for sources, and I found one saying Gwaren and another saying Lothering! So I'm guessing we won't know for sure until the game is released. I might remove her location until we know for sure. Loleil 01:35, October 22, 2009 (UTC)

Leave it until the games comes out so we can know then, please. The info on this codex can be outdated.--Selty 07:22, October 22, 2009 (UTC)

We have three different sources with three different locations. To me, that seemed like there was enough uncertainty that we should hold off on providing a definite location until the game provides the answer and I suspect people will hardly notice the missing word .

Chantry and the destruction of the Dales

The Chantry destroyed the Dales because they didn't want to worship the maker and sing the chant of light - which for the Chantry, was like saying their 'holy mission' could never be completed whilst the Dales still stood. I don't see why this article is featured when the first section is lacking in details that are clearly stated in the game codex. --ManicMan 14:56, November 10, 2009 (UTC)

I agree. The reason for the Exalted March is hardly "unknown." They allied with the Andreste and her followers against the Tevinter Imperium, but the elves were attacked in the first Exalted March because they did not give up belief in their gods for belief in the Maker. That is, in fact, the purpose behind every Exalted March: to attack those that do not believe in the Maker and his prophet Andraste.----70.106.37.152 09:03, November 16, 2009 (UTC)

Oh, I would edit it myself, but the page is locked for everyone, including registered folk --ManicMan 10:47, November 16, 2009 (UTC)

Ok, I've editted the page now. Can someone review my changes and see what you think? --ManicMan 21:22, November 23, 2009 (UTC)

Chantry attack

The page appears to be locked for unregistered editors, so I'll just add here that the Chantry didn't attack the Dalish for "unknown reasons" as the article states, but because of the alleged attack on the village of Red Crossing. The game suggests that this is likely an excuse, but is still the official reason for the exalted march. 115.64.118.162 07:26, November 16, 2009 (UTC)

Elven accent

Shouldn't we add a Trivia section? Among the things listed there could be their accent, I heard it as an American, I'm not sure though. --89.233.224.13 16:50, December 29, 2009 (UTC)

Sexuality

Someone removed my post: "It could also be noted that most if not all elves have high sexuality. So much so, that it seems many are bisexual. This can be seen at times in both Dalish and City Elf starter zones as well as Zevran being a romance option for both the male and female Warden." From the trivia section and didn't put it anywhere else on the page. They also didn't say why it was removed. This is fact, I've played through those areas and have spoken to elves to get a good idea of what I was posting. If someone may want to revise my statement thats fine. I don't mind a post being deleted. What I don't like is someone deleting a factual post and not leaving a reason. Griffmstr835 (talk) 05:08, September 18, 2010 (UTC)
