"Oh Lord" is probably the most accurate description of Orlesian politics.
I love Orlais and most of all it's over the top interior. I know it's kind of intentional but Orlais, and especially the nobles game, reminds strongly of Versailles in the time of it's glory. Every time I see Halam Shiral's winterpalace or any chateau like Chateau d'Onterre, I gasp. I take dozens of screenshots of those places. :P Damn diffictult place to live, but damn beautiful!
You should do a video about the first Inquisition how it was formed and what happened to it
It shouldn't be a surprise that noble titles and their ranking in Orlais are exactly those used in France before the revolution. As someone who's familiar with such titles, I found it much easier navigating Orlais' politics than that of other nations in Thedas, including Ferelden.
"when dragon age 4 comes out... eventuallyyyy..."
video is two years old
am cry
It still feels 2 years away
@@paleriderpalehorse55lol still feels two years away fr
"Most powerful nation." The Tevinter magisters are shook.
Tevinter is not that strong lol . They are already getting owned by quanrie while orlari grows and gets strong (sry for spelling mistakes)
@@shirouemiya155 Tevinter beat back the Qunari several times. Here how it goes, Qunari invade and after several success are beaten back and send back to Par Vollen. Heck Seheron keep switching between Tevinter and Qun control
@@zack3234 yea idk why but tevinter to me i think it's not going all out against qun idk why i get that feeling
@@shirouemiya155 perhaps but neither are the Qunari
But yeah Orlais is considerest the strongest because of propaganda and the Chantry being Orlesian. I mean it's nice to be able to call Exalted Marches when you're losing
@@zack3234 yea i forgot didn't it like take all of southern thedas to win against qun?????
Orlais is my favorite faction, their army is simply amazing.
The Dowager is great. I like the husband that died in a "violent tailoring accident". I'm just imagining a tailor stabbing him with scissors over and over and when someone walks in, he's like "He fell on my scissors. Repeatedly. So clumsy,", while still bent over the corpse.
Also, you said that elves in Tirashan worship the Forbidden Ones. I know it was an honest mistake but someone might not.
*Cell Block Tango starts playing*
One idea for a topic might be the first Inquisition and Inquisitor Ameridan.
I think one on Andraste would be interesting! Discussing who the is woman behind the largest religion in Thedas.
Arlathan/Elvhenan! (yeah I know it's not around anymore but it would be very interesting!)
The Dwarven Empire?
Ugh, Orlesians.
Souce: A british sterotype
I love your videos so much, can't wait for your next one! I fall asleep with them playing
Just had to say, these videos are amazing! You rock so much! Can't wait for another Dragon Age Game!
Your voice is so wonderful,it almost breaks through my crippling depression.
A History video on one of your companions from Dragon Age origins if we know anything new about them since it came out
It strikes me that Orlais is basically a bunched of confused Anglo-Canadians and Americans raging 'How did France get to be so powerful?!'
15:25 :-)
shouldve been an option to let Corypheus win in part and let him burn that shithole down to the ground.
I appreciate your videos so much
Thanks for making sure we got all their slurs too hahahahahha 🤣🤣
Thanks for another amazing & well-researched video! Would the Silent Sisters or Legion of the Dead be good topics next? I'm curious about them... or even the lost thaigs of the Dwarves
Quick fan theory: could the dwarves be the "flesh" of the titans, while lyrium their blood? That's why dwarves are sort of immune to lyrium, since they are in a way "biocompatible"?? Also Sandal Feddic may be like... part of a titan's brain... so he knows stuffs and can manipulate lyrium better?
So long ago as the elves warred among each other, they thirsted for more power to fuel their magic so slayed the titans and mined their bodies for lyrium (the blood - like blood magic). The titan's shattered bodies... stone-like actually became the dwarves, hence the dwarves worship and are said to have come from and will come back to "the stone". And somehow, one day the dwarves will merge again to form the titans and get revenge on the ancient elves which Solas would command... *sizzling tinfoil*
If you actually read and enjoy this, Ghil, lmk. Got more fan theories I'd love to share lol. :]
i want the order that founded during dragon age awaking the silver blades they were called i think. it works alongside the grey wardens, but it was founded based on our choices so i don't expect to any incarnation of it
I eagerly await the Tevinter video
Still hard to believe these snobs have the strongest army in Thedas...
Oh I hope we get a Red Crossing Human/Elf war video!
Is it really the most powerful? If, hypothetically, Tevinter had a moment of peace from the Qunari, and the two empires clashed one on one, who would win? (I don't know much about the lore, but I always understood that Tevinter was simply too busy to be a threat to the South)
Video on Shale!
Hail to Gaspard the one true emperor
What about the House of Repose? That's an Orlesian Assassins Guild, the one that had the contract on Josephine.
Honestly, with how much is different between Tevinter and the rest of Thedas; as well as how much it's changed over it's history an entire series on what we know about Tevinter would be nice.
I like to your lore videos I don't know why probably because you got a beautiful voice
This is an amazing video! However, there is one fact that confuses me. In Inquisition, you meet The Dowager, Lady Mantillion, like you said. However, if you read “The Masked Empire” Briala kills Mantillion to avenge her parents. Soooo… why is Mantillion at the Winter Palace? She’s supposed to be dead! Someone clear this up for me, I’m so confused!
Alisa Levenseller It's either a mistake, a different dowager with the same name, or someone masquerading as her for an advantage in The Game.
Topic about the seekers, their origins and where they originate.
Or maybe two different ladies but with the same surname. You know, like two members of the same family.
Orlais is France in our real world. But without out the Emporess or Emporer, and the masks.
FML, Ingrish...
It would be awesome if you could mention more of the historical, real world inspiration behind the countries (and other DA lore) in your videos, seeing as there seems to be so much of it!
Other than that, I LOVE your videos, and they really help bring so much more life and depth to this absolutely amazing universe for me! :)
As a Frenchman I approve. Vive Orlais. The French Equivalent in Warhammer is good, but I'm glad Dragon Age chose to go a more Renaissance France for the inspiration of Orlais. French Baroque is the best architectural style in Europe.
I love Orlais!
(WE LOVE IT!)
Time to do the tevinter episode 😂
Love Orlais Celene Briala and the gay
I side with Loghain, I hate Orlais
Since Orlais is the Dragon Age version of France, is there going to be a spin-off of the common folk starting a revolution against the Nobles, abolishing the monarchy and nobility system and turning the Empire into a Republic?
Speaking of which, since Fereldan is the Dragon Age version of Britain, will there be a spin-off game of Fereldan becoming a steampunk empire and colonized countries outside of Thedas’ borders like a forest island of people with Fox Ears and Tails called Meiji (Dragon Age Japan), a snowy country called Polath (Dragon Age Russia) which is north to a continent east of Thedas that is home to the gnomes, a tropical isle of Merfolk that’s just as ancient as the Elven Empire called Mulantis (Dragon Age Atlantis) and a tropical desert south of the eastern continent that’s home to various tribes of Djinn (blue skinned elves), Efreet (red skinned orcs), Colossi (grey skinned Minotaur) and Cait Sith (humanoids with cat ears and tails)
I believe that Orlais is loosely based on ancient Gaul
Orlais is based upon France, ancient and modern.
The Game is like a high school jockey for best gossip and flaunt what you have on steroids 😂 lol
Damn, was that The Flash at 15:20
ok but where are there wild lions in Thedas, I'm really curious
Good question. It's possible the lions went extinct or are incredibly rare due to Blights. A good chunk of Orlais is trainted with Blight, just like most of the Anders and south Tevinter. And well, most of central Thedas is tainted too. I imagine many animals went extinct during the first Three Blights, especially the first and second Blights.
Anderfels
At least I think.
Sup, Ghil.
I'm from trh future and just wanna say.
Enjoy you life 🙂
Also ... Dar still hasn't come out
A bit off topic, I know, but did you see the recent DA4 "leak"? I just wanted to know what you thought of it.
I did! I would put money on it being fake, and if it's not, the information is so early in the production process its bound to change a whole bunch. Overall, fake or real, if it somehow got made into a game, I think it would be shit game.
But Salos x Laevllan 5evr.
Same. Though I'll admit, there were a few details I would like to be in the game. Blood magic and companion/world reaction to it, racism to non-human companions/player character, seeing Dorian/Fenris/Zevran, little things like that. And I'd LOVE getting to see Antiva, Seheron, and the Anderfells, not gonna lie, but I won't get my hopes up. Fingers crossed we're actually going to Tevinter! lol
The story points just seem to fanfic-esque to be true. But I am expecting the Inquisitor to still be an important secondary character and I'll be very interested to see how the whole Solas x Lavellan situation pans out (though, I doubt Solas will be the main antagonist til either the end of DA4 or DA5).
Thank you very much, btw!
considering what was happening at the end of Inquisition i can see the Anderfels being part of the new game and I want to see tevinter and seheron maybe narvara, oh and i want to see this other dwarf city(can't remember name but wasn't it the old capital before it was moved. it would be nice to do that corner of the world, weren't they planing on doing five games so doing the north-west for the fourth makes senses to me and have the next one in the northeast.
just my thoughts on what I want, but mainly tevinter i want to see the city that's never been conquered with its black stone and dragon designs it would be the most out of their city to visit in thedas
What they said is that they have everything set up to a possible fifth game, not that they are stopping at five.
I always mix up Orlais and Toussaint
Ugh (disgusted noise against Orlesians).
Dwarven Empire
7:50 Catie I know this video is three years old, but you made the Forgotten/Forbidden ones mistake here.
if owning land is all thats needed to claim a title then would an invader have the right to claim a title say someone like the Inquisitor if he/she took control of part of the nation after all those Orlaisions need to be taught what it feels like to be held under the boot of another nation or force and they need to be taught that they are nothing next to a person that is chosen by a massive group for a holy reason
Language-French/Orlesian🇫🇷
Everytime you say Inghirish it sounds like an asian accent saying English, i love it.
If you don't hate Orlais, there's something wrong with you.
I do not speak Inghirish
