{Codex-DAO} Ancient Elven Armor 

It's veridium. These Thedosian scholars need to read the item description.

Back when this was the only Dragon Age game, I made an elven mage just so I could make him an arcane warrior and wear this set. It's not the best. It's not even particularly pretty. But it was Elven and ancient. I love that set.

I recently found your channel. I'm glad there is someone making Dragon Age content in the dark times of DA4 development hell. Thank you for your work.

Do you think perhaps you could do a lore/discussion video on King Maric? I recall there is a lot of mystery surrounding his disappearance and his promise to Mythal.

I've only collected the whole set once but I've lost the saves for that character. Now, I realise I don't have to be so obsessed in collecting it again. It's not the best armour for Zevran. The Greater Spirit Balm has much more spirit resistance than the armour set. So when I play a City Elf Rogue, that's when I'll gladly collect it all again.

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.

My city elf always rocks this armor regardless

I have a hypothesis on what the taint is blight the stuff that makes darkspawn darkspawn. It's dragons blood, and that Qunari might really be dragonblood corrupted Dwarves my reasons for this is many darkspawn have what look like scaly growths, and the genlock's grow to be the size of a gorilla after DAII.

I couldn never find this armour set always pissed me off

Meow?
