{Codex-DAO} The Summer Sword
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 янв 2022
- This DAO codex entry is given to the player after finding the item with the same name. The item, a sword, is looted off the body of Ser Cauthrien- meaning you will have to kill her either in the Arl of Denerim's estate or the Landsmeet. This also means that Loghain gave her his trophy to fight with.

I always loved the look of this blade in DAO. It’s definitely the most beautiful two-handed weapon in the game.
There is also Dragonbrand I think who shares the same model in Awakening which, if you are lucky enough to get it, is the best Two-handed weapon in the game!
Its still hard to believe that how pompous and snooty Orlais is, they actually have a competent military.
My headcannon is that Sir Cauthrien had the title of the strongest in Ferelden and was feared even among the chevaliers.The hardest battle i had was invading the castle alone and fighting Sir Cauthrien.Never used so many Health and lyrium potions before hahaha.
Statwise, she is pretty much as strong as the archdemon, with the only real difference being the archdemon immunities and elemental resistance
Sorry, but not possible. Orlais was expelled from Ferelden long before Cauthrien would have been old enough to wield a weapon.
Don’t know why, but I feel like Ser Cauthrien has so much potential as a character because of her connection with Loghain. I hope one day we get to see her again one day :)
Cauthrien is killed by the Warden though
@@williamballard767 the Warden can surrender when she appears after “saving” Anora from Howe, and you can persuade her to stand down just before the Landsmeet so she can still appear. Though due to her fate being heavily reliant on the Warden’s decisions I can see why she may never appear again (even though that hasn’t stopped them before with Anders and Oghren). Then again, there could always be a story set before the events of DAO
@@ashenedemblem4890 or she can appear like leliana did if leliana gets murdered by the Warden lol..
God the Warden can be such a psycho
@@williamballard767 right Leliana literally came back to life. The fact that a psycho warden can still be named the Hero of Ferelden is funny and disturbing as well
Ser Cauthrien is the main reason why I connected with Loghain and he was my favourite character in Origins, even before the books came out. The game tells you Loghain was a hero, but Cauthrien really sells it. The game makes it clear she is honorable, and yet she is willing to sacrifice the king and the army because she trust Loghain and his judgement blindly. And not only she does so in the prologue, but up until the Landsmeet, where unless persuaded (and it is a pretty high difficulty) she is willing to die for Loghain, even if she is conflicted about the retreat at Ostagar
OK so I tweeted you, but I really wanna make sure you see this, because I love your content and the podcast, so if I see at any point that you have liked a tweet or thumbs up something or acknowledge that you’ve seen it, then I promise I’m going to stop because I don’t want to get on your nerves and I’m sorry.
But I am playing through Dragon Age Inquisition again and I honestly might not have been the 1st person to notice this and I doubt I’m the 1st person who’s theorized it, but I believe Dalish from Bull’s Chargers is from a clan of ancient elves, like the ones you encounter at the Well of Sorrows.
Her backstory reads, “Dalish was born with magical talent. She says that her Keeper sent her away to see more of the world. However, according to the Iron Bull, she had to leave her clan because Dalish clans can't have too many mages at once. However, she insists that she is not a mage, but an archer instead, and that her staff is actually a bow, and the glowing crystals on it are an old elven trick designed for aiming. Ironically, she wears the Vallaslin of Dirthamen, Keeper of Secrets.”
Now alone it’s nothing, but after the concept art and release of the Dragon Age 4 Trailer, where we see someone holding what 1st appears to be a staff with a large stone, symbol, or crystal on the top, only to then pull back on a magical string and shoot an arrow. Dalish never claims to be a mage, and in fact says otherwise anytime someone says that she is. She also claims that her Keeper thought she should see the world. From what we know of the ancient elves that are alive today, they often are hidden and secluded so that would make sense that Dalish should “see the world”. (Possibly as an agent of The Dread Wolf, but that’s a whole other theory I have that’s even more iffy, but it would make sense as to why she left her clan if that’s the case though, beyond just exile.)
Now with the Vallaslin of Dirthamen, Keeper of Secrets, we can assume she wouldn’t just explain right then how the magic works and etc., but I do believe she’s being honest when she claims not to be a mage.
I’m aware her Wiki says she’s a mage, but I’ll also point you to the Spirit Warrior subclass from Dragon Age Awakening. It reads, “Although spirit warriors employ magical abilities, they are not mages; instead, they flirt with inhabitants of the Fade who agree to augment mortal abilities in exchange for a glimpse of the physical world. Naturally, the Chantry's templars rarely acknowledge that distinction.”
Now, I’ll also direct to the the Spirit Warrior subclass from Dragon Age Origins.
“Among the ancient elves, there were mages who trained their magical arts to augment their martial prowess. They channeled magical power through their weapons and bodies, becoming terrors on the battlefield. Most consider these skills lost forever, but they may still linger in forgotten corners of the world. Arcane warriors may learn to use their magic score to satisfy the strength requirement to equip higher-level weapons and armor.”
Whenever Dalish is called a mage, she states that’s not the case and that her bow with the crystal on top is an old Elven trick that we wouldn’t understand. Could she have been telling the truth about that and the secret she’s keeping is that she’s actually 1 of the ancient elves?
I do think that Dalish could simply be lying about being a mage and it be taken at face value, but I believe that Dalish is some type of Arcane Spirit Warrior. Possibly Dalish is from a clan of ancient elves, possibly even the same clan from Tevinter as the person in the DA4 trailer. I believe Dalish is actually a kinda Arcane Spirit Warrior from a clan of ancient elves and she’s telling the truth in Dragon Age Inquisition.
There’s my theory, I’m gonna share it on your other videos cause I really do want you to see it, even if it just gets thrown out there. I think it’s something after the DA4 trailer. Like I said, I love your content and I really don’t wanna annoy you but I know you might not ever see this if I don’t really put my effort into making it easy for you to see. Thanks for all of your videos and I wish nothing but blessing and prosperity onto both your family and Jordan’s from The Exalted March.
