was it just a coincidence that Damian was near too then? Surely that's what allowed her to detect it?Damian was likely keeping tabs on Talana, since she the last dragon knight and also trying to resurrect Ygerna. Ygerna was in the Hall of Echoes searching for a mind weak enough to control but strong enough to carry out her plan, so could have discovered the main character after the ritual and been waiting for an opportunity to arise, or Talana making the character a dragon knight and dying may have attracted her. It is possible Damian's proximity may have helped, but it didn't sound like she need that when she described searching for a mind to manipulate.
I don't remember her saying that, to me it's hard for the whole story to make more sense if they weren't working together.In the cutscene at the end of D2:ED Damian says that all that time he had been searching for a way to resurrect Ygerna, and she ended up being restored without his help. When he asked her how, she said 'I trained a pet' and said she would tell him about it later as they walked out onto the balcony of the flying fortress and the cutscene showed the Black Ring forces attacking the fjords harbour.

That seems very risky, allowing the Dragon Knight to live and enter the Hall of Echoes but then hope that they failed and Ygerna escaped? Seems too much to gamble.What alternative did he have? A slim chance is better than nothing.
Though again, perhaps the soul forging gave them some insight here.That's possible. Or maybe Damian is just arrogant and underestimates the dragon knight (which given the scripted encounters with him, is not actually that unreasonable).
Am I correct in thinking that in FoV Ygerna was manipulating the player to revive Behrlihn?AFAIK Ygerna was done with you once imprisoned, and Behrlihn simply took advantage of your appearance, knowing he wouldn't be able to get the Divine to free him.
Out of curiosity, do you kill General Raze when you're playing or do you leave him live?An identity thief who wines about the cold when you can't even see your breath? I kill him.
