Calling it now: The next big reveal is the 7 Magisters only cracked the Black City and brought the darkspawn taint to the world because the Evanuris whispered instructions from beyond the Veil, hoping they’d set them free.

So the Blights are REALLY the elves’ fault, like everything else.

Another one: based on the teaser poster, we see the red lyrium statue enclosed in a large black circle with seven orbs around it; five dim, two bright. There have been 5 Blights, 5 slain Archdemons, with two to go.

Solas hates the Grey Wardens slaying Archdemons because he implies if all 7 are slain, something much worse will happen.

My guess is Solas sealed Evanuris in the Black City (hence tainted red lyrium) to suffer an eternity of torment; tainted and maddened but unable to die. But they can till use the magic of the Fade to “sing” heavenly music for those who can hear, mingled with the darkspawn taint. And darkspawn feel compelled to seek out and “awaken” Archdemons because the tainted Evanuris eternally compell them with their “song.” And the “Old Gods” that instructed the 7 Magisters to invade the “Golden City” was really the 7 Evanuris trying to trick them into freeing them.

Calling it now.
