![]() It wasn't until Riordan listened in on the Archdemons plans that he realized that Redcliffe wasn't the target and the horde was really headed for Denerim. Originally, they thought that the horde was headed towards Redcliffe.I would have thought we'd get more than two days warning, especially since they would have had to march all the way from Lothering. It's a massive mob of thousands of monsters with a dragon flying overhead.You get warning that the Darkspawn are headed towards Denerim a couple of days before they get there.Both of those possibilities raise all kinds of questions, like "Why is it that no one is EVER prepared for a Darkspawn attack, if they're known for doing stuff like this?" So, either all the Darkspawn (including the Hurlocks and Ogres) are masters of stealth when traveling overland, or they can tunnel just about anywhere. For that matter, a Darkspawn horde shows up out of nowhere to attack Amaranthine in Awakening, and no one sees them coming either. I can imagine something like this happening if the Darkspawn used the Deep Roads to travel underground to Denerim and came up from out of the basements, like they did in Awakening, but no one suggests that they did so. How? This is right after the Landsmeet, so if you did what I did and went straight from Denerim to Castle Redcliffe, you somehow don't run into any darkspawn on the way. Towards the end of Origins, the entire Darkspawn horde somehow shows up in Denerim with almost no warning at all.The former tends to be a lot shorter and lot more noticeable, for one thing. There's a difference between a really bad nightmare / panic attack / bout of sudden narcolepsy and being magically forced into murder or sex slavery or demon bondage or who knows what else.Or the Chantry and the Circles turn a blind eye to that because the Tevinter Imperium was funded on blood magic and not on something else, and the Chantry was founded by freed slaves of the Tevinter Imperium. ![]()
