Fans of Dragon Age have been very excited after the latest trailer for Dragon Age: The Veilguard just dropped today. One of the most unexpected yet welcome surprises was the return of Morrigan, the powerful mage who was loved by all the players in Origins.
This revelation comes after years of speculation and uncertainty about whether she would make another appearance in the series, especially given her previous role in Inquisition and the implications of that game’s ending.
Morrigan Returns in Dragon Age: The Veilguard
Morrigan’s return took fans by surprise since Claudia Black, the talented voice actress behind the character, had previously hinted that she would not be reprising her role in this game, leading many to believe that the character wouldn’t be part of the upcoming title.

The hype surrounding her return to the game quickly spread across social media, particularly on Reddit, where fans expressed their excitement and happiness. One user on the r/DragonAge subreddit pointed out that this serves as a reminder not to take actors’ statements at face value, especially when NDAs are involved.
In the world of video games and voice acting, actors are sometimes forced to deny involvement until the official reveal. The excitement didn’t stop at just the fact that she was back; fans were also thrilled to see her wearing what appears to be Mythal’s Crown, which is a significant artifact in the lore.
The scene in the trailer of Morrigan wearing her mother Flemeth’s crown has set off a wave of speculation among fans. Flemeth, also known as the Witch of the Wilds, is capable of transforming into a high dragon and is also rumored to have lived for centuries.
Flemeth’s connection to Mythal, who is an ancient elven goddess, is well documented in the Dragon Age series, and seeing Morrigan with the crown that once belonged to her mother suggests some profound developments in the story and a hint of what is to come.
The Implications of Morrigan Wearing Mythal’s Crown
This also raises questions about what happened between Morrigan and Flemeth after the events of Inquisition. At the end of that game, Flemeth was seen being seemingly petrified by Solas, who is a key figure in the upcoming game.
If she knows that Solas is responsible for Flemeth’s fate, her role in the game could be driven by a desire for revenge, or maybe something more. She is likely to play a decent-sized role in the game.
The return of the character is also significant because of the long wait for a new game in the franchise. Inquisition, released ten years ago, left fans with many unanswered questions and loose threads, and the decade-long wait for this game has only intensified the anticipation as fans look for answers.
Flemeth’s legacy is one of the most significant threads in the series, and hopefully, this game will expand on this interesting lore even further.
With the game set to release on October 31, just a few weeks shy of Inquisition’s ten-year anniversary, fans are eager to find out whether the game lives up to all of its hype and development time and whether BioWare is truly back.
