Talk:Celene Valmont I

Picture

Where does this picture come from? Is it an official concept art or is it fan art? In the second case I'd delete it. Asherinka (talk) 10:05, March 25, 2012 (UTC)

Ran it through an image search and it's certainly not official. King Cousland | Talk   11:02, March 25, 2012 (UTC)

Name change

Since all the other Emperors have the prefix Emperor in the name of their respective pages, I think we should update this one as well, for consistency. Henio0 (talk) 23:46, June 23, 2013 (UTC)

Mage

Can we get a reference for that, or is it fan fiction? Henio0 (talk) 22:15, April 8, 2014 (UTC)

I don't know, but I do question having her categorised as such - if true, isn't that a fairly large spoiler for someone who hasn't read the book? Alexsau1991 ^{(talk page)} 22:18, April 8, 2014 (UTC)

Asherinka said it on that forum [1].FirstDrellSpectre (talk) 22:19, April 8, 2014 (UTC)

Since that is the case, this is a huge spoiler. I suggest not adding the categories, or at least not put that right in the infobox. The book only just came out today in the US, and won't be out for another 9 days in the UK, so chances are vast majority have not read it. Henio0 (talk) 22:22, April 8, 2014 (UTC)

Agreed. I was pretty peeved to read that spoiler... this is one DA novel that I was planning on buying. As I said, I would remove categories and infobox spoilers for now, for at least the time it's released in the UK, (or it's latest release). Alexsau1991 ^{(talk page)} 22:28, April 8, 2014 (UTC)

I agree. I think it is enough for now that it is stated in the Masked Empire section. Those who already read the book and thos who aren't planning on doing it, can read it there. Henio0 (talk) 22:42, April 8, 2014 (UTC)

Oh well) It's still a rumor. I wouldn't add that directly to the wiki at all until I finished the book, but those who already did claimed that she is a mage on bioware.ru. She did use some sort of magic in Chapter 3, but it's unclear so far if that's just a ring or she is a mage herself:

"Celene’s hand wrapped around his wrist, and he cried out in pain, then lurched back. Smoke rose from his arm, and the fine cloth was scorched. He clutched the injured wrist to his chest. “I took the throne at sixteen, Gaspard, after your wife killed my mother,” she said, holding up her hand and showing him a glittering ruby ring that crackled with fire. “And no, I have no wish to discuss our family’s bloody history. I know it quite well, thank you.” With a twitch of her fingers, she slid a knife free from a hidden sheath on her arm. It crackled with fire as she raised it. “And I have not ruled Orlais for twenty years with balls and banquets.”" Asherinka (talk) 22:53, April 8, 2014 (UTC)

Yeah, it may just be an enchanted dagger and magical ring. On a seperate note, perhaps this is the red glowing ring on the hand in Inquisition's promotional images? :) Henio0 (talk) 22:59, April 8, 2014 (UTC)

Perhaps. Anyway I'll be adding new information while I read the book. Asherinka (talk) 23:08, April 8, 2014 (UTC)

Dragon Age Asunder

Should the Dragon Age Asunder section even be in this article? The only presence she has in Asunder is the notability of her absence. It makes sense to include their actions in, say, the Orlesian Civil War article, as they are part of the war, but it seems redundant to include rumors circulating on the other side of Orlais when the explicit truth of what occurred is in the Masked Empire section immediately below it. The chronology also appears strange, as what is described in Asunder doesn't occur until very late in Masked Empire. As a compromise, perhaps a revised Asunder section could be moved to after the Masked Empire section, though I'd rather eliminate it altogether Ravenfirelight (talk) 01:13, April 18, 2014 (UTC)
