So i recently finished DAI again and it made me think about Golden City. We know that Veil is Solas's work and when it was created it lots of stuff ended there. So what is the Golden City then? My theory is that GC is just elven city that was maybe teared and tossed in Fade. In that case, could it be Arlathan? We know that Arlathan was destroyed, but since we faced several cases of history rewriting, can we really believe in that? Or it could just be Solas' sleeping place, or his or elfs dream that was recreated in Fade. Anyway when i first heard Corypheus saying "Beg that i succeed, for i have seen the throne of gods and it was empty" it gave me chills, but when you realize that all could just be Egghead's work and throne of gods is maybe just Elgar'nan's chair, who isnt even god, but just some worshiped dude who had the power, it kinda takes all weight and mystery from it.
Mimi Plumb used to live on the edges of the city where the rents were cheap. Nearby, on the summit of the hill, were folded layers of radiolarian chert, the fossilized remains of microscopic creatures called radiolaria. A large crevice in the hillside was a reminder of the ever-present threat of an earthquake.
Warm Water Cove, along the bay, was a spectacle of tires and abandoned cars. One day Plumb photographed the chimney of the power station above the fiery destruction of the 25th Street Pier. She watched planes flying over the city dump of cardboard hillsides.
But why did Akhenaten abandon Thebes, which had been the capital of ancient Egypt for more than 150 years? Answers may lie in the discovery of an industrial royal metropolis within Thebes that Akhenaten inherited from his father, Amenhotep III. The find, which has been dubbed the lost golden city of Luxor" in an announcement released today, will generate as much enthusiasm, speculation, and controversy as the renegade pharaoh who left it.
Because the city was initially discovered just in September of last year, archaeologists have only scratched the surface of the sprawling site, and understanding where this discovery ranks in Egyptological importance is hard to say at this time. The level of preservation found so far, however, has impressed researchers.
UbisoftWatch Dogs LegionSet in a darkly dystopian London just a few years from now, the game and the prequel novel, Day Zero, reveal how the sinister forces vying to control the nation are opposed by a secretive band of hackers and activists known as DedSec. The novel follows one would-be hacker as he witnesses a savage murder and is then drawn ever deeper a conspiracy that threatens the entire city. Authentically steeped in London culture and crammed full with fast-paced action, the novel acts as a direct prequel to the events of Watch Dogs: Legion.
Straddling the Vltava River, Prague is not easily defended. We hold all of the city on the east riverbank, but enemy forces have overrun the sector across the river to the west. The glorious Charles Bridge that connects the two will soon become a bloody battleground.
At the start of the scenario, the player should use the two Light Cavalry near the Old Tower to gather the Cows outside the city wall, as well as all three outposts, and send the wagons to town (the one in the far east corner needs to go around the Yellow Castle in order not to be killed). Also, the player must immediately send all the troops (minus both Light Cavalry) near the old tower east to open up the first trade route. This may be the only trade route that the player can secure in a little while, therefore it is vital. Store the three Relics in town and get the Villagers to work (Cows and Berries, then Farm and Lumber Camp northeast of Old Tower later). The player will soon be under heavy pressure from all three sides. Red's focus is to destroy the Old Tower north; they send Paladins, Champions, Teutonic Knights, rams, Mangonels and Trebuchets. Yellow focus on the player's Castle east of Prague with Paladins, Condottieri, Light Cavalry, Genoese Crossbowmen, Arbalesters and Bombard Cannons. Green will attack the twin bridges with Two-Handed Swordsmen, Hand Cannoneers, Capped Rams and Scorpions. Combined with the almost non-existent player economy, it is a challenging opening to contain all three enemies.
The Black City, once known as the Golden City and the heart of heaven, is a city in the Fade said to be the former seat of the Maker or the realm of the Old Gods, depending on the religious perspective.[2]
The Chantry teaches that after the Maker created His firstborn, He "called forth a city with towers of gold, streets with music for cobblestones, and banners which flew without wind".[3] It was a perfect, holy citadel[4] where He dwelled on His golden throne,[3] and spirits populated its many spires.[5][6] The Maker's mortal children entered the city when they died, returning to His side.[7] When His secondborn started to worship the Old Gods and thus committed the Original Sin, the Maker abandoned the Golden City and His ungrateful creations[4][8], and it sat locked and empty.[5][4]
Dissatisfied with spirits, the Maker expelled them from the Golden City, but there are conflicting accounts on the timing of this event: before the creation of men[5][6], directly after that ("sealed the gates")[3] or when He left the city.[5]
Some accounts suggest that the Old Gods began whispering to humanity from the Golden City in -2800 Ancient, three hundred years after the arrival of humans in Thedas.[9] People of ancient Tevinter believed the Creator had abandoned the city long before that and they were adrift, rescued by the Old Gods.[8]
In -395 Ancient (800 TE) seven Magisters Sidereal, each a High Priest to one of the Old Gods,[15] opened a gate into the Golden City with blood magic and entered it physically. The city turned black as soon as they arrived, and the mages were cast back to Thedas as the first darkspawn, triggering the First Blight.[16] The blackening of the city could be observed by any mage at the time, and the historical records predating the First Blight support the link between the colour change and the Magister's breach.[17]
Of note is that Corypheus, one of the Magisters that allegedly turned the Golden City black, mentions in his encounter with Hawke that the city was already blackened when he and his compatriots entered it, directly contradicting one of the most central pillars of Chantry canon.
Today the Black City is a home of darkness and nightmares[4] with cold and twisted spires[20], "its towers forever stained, its gates forever shut".[21] An island[22] with the city is the one constant geographical feature within the Fade. At any time, one can look up and see it in the sky, always in the distance.[23] Actually traveling to the Black City from elsewhere in the Fade is impossible. Even the most powerful spirits and demons seem to avoid the place[24][25] lest they become tainted.[5]
Within weeks of the start of their dig, Hawass' team uncovered mud bricks stamped with Pharaoh Amenhotep III's name. That helped them estimate the city was built 3,400 years ago, since Amenhotep III ruled between 1391 BC and 1353 BC.
Constantinople, 867 - A murderous plot is afoot. Assisted by the Order of the Ancients, the emperor schemes to assassinate his son and throw the city into chaos.

Hytham's brotherhood have entrusted him with uncovering where Basim's true loyalties lie and whether the master Assassin's personal obsessions outweigh his sense of duty. For Hytham to succeed, he must tread carefully, for Constantinople is a city of shadows, and danger hides in all of them.
