i think it’s easy to only think of mages when we look at the mortalitasi but the mourn watch has elite non-mages too. here are some descriptions of mourn watch aligned items that we’ve seen in the gameplay videos, which i think speak to where a non-mage mourn watch rook might be coming from
Enchanted Longblade, a sabre: “Imbued with necrotic energy through carefully managed rituals in the Grand Necropolis, this blade is deadly in the right (or wrong) hands.”
Cryptwood Bow, a shortbow: “This bow is crafted from the ancient death-touched trees that grow deep in the crypts of the Grand Necropolis.”
Duelist’s Blade, a rapier: “This razor-sharp blade, plucked from an ancient hoard, is surrounded by a deeply menacing aura.”
Necropolis Defender, a targe shield: “The elite guards who stand watch at the gates of the Grand Necropolis use these shields to guard against both the living and the dead.”
The Iron Cast, heavy armour: “This armour’s vividly sculpted musculature is a testament to Nevarra’s unrivalled knowledge of anatomy.”

"lol isn't it funny how there are hardly any dragons in the dragon age games! and how dragons are barely relevant to the story lol" Anyway isn't it funny how the true importance of dragons in Dragon Age has been such a slow-burn concept despite the final boss of the first game being a dragon? One of the most important recurring NPCs in the series transforms into a dragon and is associated with dragon imagery. The big repeated world-ravaging catastrophes are led by corrupted dragons. These dragons and said catastrophes are connected to at least three of the world's major religions. The current age was named the "Dragon Age" because of the resurgence of dragons after they were thought to be extinct. A daughter of the aforementioned recurring character is revealed to have been deliberately breeding dragons to bring them back, and tells us that "the blood of dragons is the blood of the world." A major character from ancient times finds the idea of all the old god dragons being killed really upsetting and hasn't told us why. We found out in the last game that dragons have an unusual resistance to that world-ravaging catastrophe. There are only a couple old god dragons left. Dragons aren't always in the foreground of the story, but they're always there, they've always been there, in the background or just offscreen, hiding, sleeping, deep under the surface, waiting.

Thinking about how the leader of the Shadow Dragons is called The Viper. Thinking about how Dorian’s clothing and all three of his tarot cards have a viper on them. Thinking about how in the gameplay trailer a friend told Varric that Shadow Dragons are people he wants to know. Thinking about how Dorian returned to his home to fight against the oppressive system he benefited from for so long and how the Shadow Dragons fight that same system
"love is what makes us human" actually it's 'select all images with boat' but go off I guess
I know that it’s now canon that Solas is bald because after a long period of time ancient elves lose their hair, but I think it’s far more interesting and powerful if Solas just keeps his head shaved as a sign of mourning, almost a penance for his actions in the past. That’s substantially more compelling to me. And it should be darker tbh.
