Tevinter versus the Chantry versus Magic is a real looming shadow in the games, and it’s something I hope we see more of in the next one. She’s not only central to the core conflict of the games (mages versus Templars) but she was controversially sympathetic to the plight of elves in Tevinter (the game’s metaphor for Bad Fascist Nation). Andraste has been a major figure in the Dragon Age games, serving as prophet for the Chantry, Thedas’ major religion among humans and Templars. It’s almost definitely Andraste, the mortal woman who married god, was betrayed by one of her followers, and subsequently burnt at the stake.
Here we’ve got to get into a little speculation, but I’m happy to oblige. So that just leaves us with one burning question: who is this figure? See the figure? Her horrible hollow face? The red tendrils dripping from the base of the statue? If they’re not the same figure, I’ll eat my hat.
First of all, it’s very likely that this is the relic the Champion of Kirkwall is tasked with retrieving from the Primeval Thaig in Dragon Age 2’s first act. Okay, the thirty-second slow pan over a crumbling relic may have seemed a little gratuitous, but it actually gives us a lot to work with.
