Today I realized that, according to Krem, the Bull's Chargers mainly operate within Neverra and Orlais, and that Iron Bull is located in the Storm Coast.
What intrigues me the most about this statement is the fact Storm Coast marker in Inquisition is not located on the canonical war map where the Storm Coast is designated.
Instead, the location of the Storm Coast in-game is actually situated in the Coastlands of Ferelden, which is a part of the Teryn of Highever. While it may be possible that the "Coastlands" have also been termed the "Storm Coast" in Alamarri or Fereldan colloquial, I do not believe this is the case. I cannot give a specific reason why the Storm Coast's marker is placed in the Coastlands, but I do think it is odd given that Iron Bull and the Bull's Chargers admittedly operate chiefly in Orlais and Neverra rather than in Ferelden.
It is possible that it may have been shifted to be included in Ferelden because of the need for the Inquisition to search for the missing Fereldan Grey Wardens, but I do think it is odd since outside Blackwall, you only start recruiting companions beyond the original three in Orlais before finding Dorian/Cole in the aftermath of your alliance with the Mages or Templars.
Just something neat that has always bothered me about Inquisition's map, but only know has made me wonder if the Storm Coast (originally) was meant to be placed in Orlais rather than Ferelden, but was changed later on, in a similar vein where Redcliffe in the Stolen Throne is depicted along the western shore of Lake Calenhad, befitting of its position as a strategic stronghold for the Kingdom of Ferelden, but all other depictions since Origins displays along the southern shore.
Yup! It was originally in Orlais and was moved later in development. In the BioWare 25 book it was shown to be in Orlais even in the map they put up in the break/lunch room.
Why it was moved is yes, likely for the same reasons as Redcliffe being that the location markers were too close together and caused issues.
This likely happened after in development when the Emerald Graves/Emprise du Lion/Exalted Plains were split into three locations rather than the one massive map they originally were.
As and Iron Bull lover and a Thedas map gremlin…this has bothered me for 12 years :)))
Same with Crestwood. It was moved from the southeastern coast by Lothering up where it is in the final game.
more women whump. more women pushing themselves and passing out from sleep deprivation and exhaustion. more women training until their knuckles bleed and their legs give out from under them. more women being held prisoner and remaining stoic until the very end or perhaps when they’re rescued. more women under truth serum and terrifying hallucinogens. more women waking up in a pool of blood, their own and others’ and not knowing what happened but that something is terribly wrong with them. more women falling apart o ly when rescued. more women pushed to their breaking point. more women whump.

Haven’t stepped into the DA fandom for a long time but this story caught my attention and I had to start reading it.
Check out no closer could I be to god by dirthavaren. Their OC Vythral’a (our inky for this fic) really inspired me to pick up the pen for the DA universe once more. Thank you for letting me paint her! Might have to do it again in the future! 🥰

Its interesting to me that the two bloodlines we know of to have either notable (great dragon) or significant amounts (repeated consumption) of dragon blood in their bloodlines don't actually ever get to capitalize on it and they were both tied to the Chantry in some way shape or form.
Alistair got out sure, but he also was then leashed to another organization that fundamentally changed his biology.
Cassandra was not only tied to the Chantry but also put through a rite that fundamentally changed her biology.
Both of them are connected to lyrium. If king, Alistair begins using lyrium again*. Cassandra went through the rite to become a seeker and has abilities granted to her through lyrium and contact with a spirit.
Neither of them get to use the power of the dragon innately in their blood. Additionally.... Why doesn't Bull comment on Cassandra's draconic influence in her bloodline?
More thoughts later when I'm not tired and working on something else.
*- Yes it is again. Alistair was originally supposed to be using lyrium in dao but that was removed because they found the lyrium use mechanic too punishing and handwaved stuff to explain why the warden didn't also use lyrium. In the Silent Grove comic he states he started using it again.
