one thing about ancient arlathan i wish vg had gotten into (along with any other interesting details besides being vaguely desaturated haha) is that: the ecology should've been pretty crazy? i think it's hinted that spiders get really big in places where the veil is thin. and with all the ambient magic before the veil existed, surely there'd be tons of cool megafauna?? plus ghilan'nain was going ham with bioengineering stuff, there should be all kinds of things running around.

plus modern thedas has survived multiple rounds of blight, which would logically kill off tons of species and lead to a lot of places being turned completely barren... what would it have been like before that? it would add an interesting element to solas' nostalgia if the world is quite literally different in that way.

#txt #something something blight is like heavy metals and that's why it like concentrates up the food chain into apex predators #(blight wolves and bears) and the rest of them are more mildly affected #alternatively there's blighted insects and whatnot too but #i feel like if there were blight carrying mosquitoes thedas would just be gone. it's joever. this kills everyone probably #also do you think there are ancient elven version of those like #fucked up medieval bestiary marginalia creatures #and the modern elves are like ''ahaha. the ancestors were so creative and silly with their art :)''#''surely those aren't real :)''#meanwhile solas and felassan having vivid flashbacks of ghilan'nain's Crimes Against Nature #''the evanuris did actually staple a rabbit onto a snail and make a guy with his face in his chest :/''#''their cruelty and hubris knew no bounds :/''#i'm sitting at home feeling sick today so this is what i was pondering for emotional support #thanks for coming to my ted talk
