I just realised, I'm wrong, Elenaria wouldn't have known Shangraile if she had met him in Thedas. Why? To borrow a quote from Doctor Who, timey-wimey.
She and her sisters tried their escape that landed them in Thedas several hundred years prior to Beren and Lúthien, therefore also several hundred years before Shangraile was serving in Angband. So at the time the Silmarils were in Thedas, they had not met him, or Askíl (Durin II) for that matter.
So, if she had have met Shangraile while he was there, maybe he would have used arcane senses he was trained in to recognise her as a Silmaril, but at best, maybe she recognises him as being Easterling and maybe traces of Dark in him? It would have been a very odd meeting.
As for Askíl, it does mean that when he came to rescue his brother, the Silmarils knew who he was. Even if they didn't, they would have helped him anyway.
This has been prompted by someone's comic about how their Warden and Hawke would have acted at the Masked Ball later in the game. It made me think "Who would Elenaria go with?" (mostly likely Kélan), and "What would happen when she and Shangraile meet there?" (confusion). Hawke would have to invite someone other than his LI, because everyone would want to kill Anders. Maybe he'd drag a very annoyed Fenris there instead. Or simply go with Varic. Fenris is more amusing.

2020
So even though I haven't been here in ages, I still want to carry on my personal tradition of posting my yearly retrospect. Though it appears I forgot last year's. So... 2020, the year where everyone's lives were thrown into chaos... except mine. Actually that is not that far from the truth, I call myself a suburban hermit sometimes, and that is because I almost never go out, except for the weekly shopping,and occasional other run to the shops. This year? The most that I had was having to get up early on shopping days, and a cut to my non-grocery trips out. Now one big thing that did happen was the loss of my cousin. He was the oldest of my first cousins, almost 50, his kids in their late teens, eldest two heading into college and youngest late high school. e went down for his funeral, stayed at Grey's place and were there for Grey's b'day (bought a pizza dinner). Managed to get home about one day before Lockdown hit. The aforementioned early days for shopping was due to

The only opinion I have about thee election is, congrads on getting another racist old white guy into office.
Dreamlog: Renner Hugs
Another dream about hugging a Real Life celebrity, this time it was Jeremy Renner. I blame watching MCU crack vids and a character abilities vid about Hawkeye on Youtube for it. But it had nothing salatious about it, just the idea that Mr Renner could give great hugs.
Dreamlog: White Death
Had a dream last night where there were entities lurking around that, when seen indirectly, looked like paper-white figures, but if looked at directly, the viewere would die. Most of the dream was about avoiding looking at them directly, hiding indoors and pulling down blinds and closing curtains, since they also could not enter a house (Possibly an uninvited vampire situation), so all they could do is try to be seen through windows. Short and simple, no porn ideas, seems akin to the theme of "The Birdbox".

Time is a relative thing, my friend.
I always assumed that Askil's soul had to be send backwards in time, for his journey to Thedas, because he only died in the early second Age. But that is storyteller perspective. It is doubtful that Kelan/Askil would have had any means of being aware of "when" his current life in Thedas was, in relation to time in Arda. (And to a being like Mahal time is probably not a linear concept.) To Askil himself the line of events is - he tried to rescue his brother, had help, made a promise and after death got send to Thedas. To the Silmarils Thedas would be first, then they met Askil/Kelan in Angband and then met him again in the third age. But as they were educated by the High Elves, I am sure they are able to see that they first saw the effect (Kelan in Thedas) and then the cause (the promise) instead of the other way round. (Another question would be, if Kélan was wrong about the promise being the cause for his journey, and only Mahal knows where else he stashed that particular soul for whatever reasons.)
The same principle might apply to Shangraile, only that recognizing him would have been harder. Or for him we need to find a different reason, or scratch him altogether.
