Entirely helpful, not at all microanal fact-checkage:

You forgot the Last Court!

It might be too early to call lyrium a lifeform. We know it's organism-like, but not quite what it is. My suspicion is that it's the blood of something. Whatever the Stone is, maybe.

AravEls, with an E. Dalish clans are lead by the elder or hahren, with the keeper occupying a position of respect but not actual leadership. I don't think the Dalish quite trust mages to run shit. Which ... seems quite reasonable, given revelations in Inquisition.

Vallaslin started out as elven, not Tevinter, slave markings: that's why Abelas and company have them. It seems like either the gods kept slaves and would mark them, or slave-owners would mark their slaves with the design of the god they followed.

Antiva seems to be sort of Spain/Portugal/Italy -- Josephine's accent is Italian, and Zevran's is technically Argentine, since his voice is obviously a broad Antonio Banderas impression.

"Their main export is tea and universally loved characters." HAHAHA. Fact. Or it should be, anyway.

You spelled it "Loghan" once.

Your bulleted lists look hinky. It's probably your journal style, not the HTML.

Not a nitpick, but hilariously, a couple of Cassandra's late-game conversations take place on a mezzanine level of the armory that has no stairs up to it. There are stairs up FROM it to a third level, but the only way down is to jump, and the only way to get up there is to be teleported in by a cutscene. What the fuck.

[bom bom] FFFFFFFFFFFFFF

"a former warrior caste exiled to the surface" -- I think you accidentally a noun.

It's not iambic pentameter -- I know because, on my first playthrough, I could tell that his speech was metered and I checked to see if it was blank verse. Nope. It's the cadence of the Leonard Cohen song "Hallelujah", which has a fair number of anapaests and so on in it. (Fandom, upon learning this, immediately set about re-ruining this wonderful but already thoroughly overused song for me. OH MY GOD, FANDOM, IT IS NOT A TRUE LOVE 5EVER OTP SONG. IT IS A SONG ABOUT DISILLUSIONMENT AND RUINATION AND BAD SEXUAL DECISIONS. Also now I'm listening to it on repeat, because disillusionment, ruination and bad sexual decisions are my favorite things.)

The link to Solas being an asshole in the Fade is broken (you just pasted his quote in there).

Don't quote me, but I think it's "pussbucket", not "pushbucket".

I believe it's Tom, not Thom.

It's definitely Kieran, not Keiran. He can also be Loghain's son. DON'T PICTURE IT. Oh, fuck, you pictured it.
