What's Your Pet Theory On...

[jannifer]

Draconic intelligence? I fought "Andraste" yet again last night and found myself wondering about why she would care anything about the Urn. So, her blood would form a connection to the magical power of the Urn? That seems to be what's implied. Anyway, how would she know such a thing? And is that the only reason for creating her cult? And if you're a dragon, how would you convince someone that it's a good idea to drink your blood? And if the Urn weren't involved, why would you do such a thing to begin with?

This is one of those little things I keep coming back to, so I thought I'd see what the bright minds here might have to say. All theories are welcomed with open arms!

Oh, and thanks to everyone who shared her/his thoughts on DAII. I ordered my copy yesterday. Yay, Amazon!

My opinion was she didn't particularly give a hoot about the cult but they just provided her easy food so she stuck around. It was the cult that wanted to destroy the Urn of the false Andraste.

The blood they might have gotten from some of the smaller dragons.

I guess I kind of viewed regular dragons as animals with little knowledge or consideration of humanity.

After that fight, my husband says this in subsequent dragon fights in a high pitched voice, "Hi I'm a dragon! I brought you stuff! But you have to kill me first. Kill me - I won't even fly away though I could." I always wondered why she didn't fly away when seriously hurt. There's no reason I for her to stay - everything about that whole fight doesn't make sense. I mean, you've already pretty much destroyed her nest...

Of course, we did get a little tired of saying it to each other during Skyrim...
