He is Fen'Harel. Tho is also seems like everything the Dalish believe about Fen'Harel is wrong - not a trickster god who imprisoned the others for a laugh, but the god of rebellion, who imprisoned them because he thought that would be what's best for the elves. Then he woke up thousands of years later to find out that ended up harming his people instead, so he wants to fix his mistake.

 

He gave the orb to Corypheus because he was too weak to power it up again. The orb was the key to the Eluvian he sealed the other gods in, so now that it's been destroyed, he can't. tho we all think that the power is now in the Inquisitor, so he'll have to come back for the Inquisitor someday.

 

It's up for debate whether he "killed" flemeth by taking mythal's power from her, or if he willingly let Mythal into his body (thus "killing" flemeth's body) - but the assumption is that whichever happened, he did as part of his attempt to find a new way to release the old gods.

 

Spoiler

 

Ahh it makes sense now why he was so upset the orb was destroyed, I was confused at that scene. Also if Flemeth is still alive, her body looked pretty damn strange after he took the souls. The crazy thing is what he did greatly harmed his People (or maybe they did it to themselves? I remember in the Well of Sorrows Quest, the Elf in charge, forget his name, said they started fighting among themselves). I've always wanted to help the Elves, ever since Origins so I was kind of glad to get more lore on the subject even though it was not entirely clear to me and we were left with more questions than answers. What did the Old Gods do for him to imprison them like he did? and what does he plan to accomplish by restoring them?

 

So does this mean Solas is the big bad? Because if we get a DLC or an expansion about the Inquisitor having to deal with her "lover" who wants to revive the Old Gods, on top of what you said having the key absorbed into her mark? Here comes the angsty drama!!! Damn.

 

Thank you for the summary!

Ok, I HAVE to know this because I've looked and I can't seem to find it...

Spoiler

Which song from the soundtrack plays during the last romance scene with Solas.

Please help!

There are two themes playing during that scene actually.
The one being thedas love theme as others pointed out.

Spoiler

When they kiss.

And the other being the lost temple (or the first minutes of it.)

Spoiler

When he removes Lavellan's vallaslin.

I love how the mixed the two themes together,because the outcome is amazing.

[Eivuwan]

What if Solas tried other methods for whatever it is that he wants to do, but they don't work. So he has to come back to Lavellan to use her mark anywayz. haha

No way to know yet. But one thing worth noting: Solas causing the collapse of the elven empire might have been a bad thing, but for all we know allowing them to continue on their path would have been an even worse outcome. According to Cole, his choice was the right one. It is very complicated!

[Solas]

Thanks guys! I saw the restof them on her channel but must have missed that one.

 

Any chance someone has the link to the Tumblr post which explains that All New Faded For her is an anagram? I'd like to link to the source

Here you go.
 

 
Oh god..I just...

*gross sobbing*

[Birdy]

That last one.  XD

[nikkyleep]

So I sometimes write notes to my future self because I'm a freak, and December on my desk calendar at work had this scribbled in the corner: "You've played the game! OMG. Solas?! <3"

 

Ah, you sweet summer child.

 

Also, I only post like every 120 pages or so between lurking, but I am so greatful for this thread! I think all these feelings and speculation would kill me I didn't have people to share it with. Or, you know, people to observe sharing their thoughts as they generally match most of what I'd be saying anyway. Much love, my Solas loving brethren.

Been listening to some Solas/Cassandra banter

 

Spoiler

Cassandra: Solas, if you do not mind me asking, what do you believe in?

Solas: Cause and effect. Wisdom as its own reward, and the inherent right of all free willed people to exist

Caasndra: That is not what I meant

Solas: I know. I believe the elven gods existed, as did the old gods of Tevinter. But I do not think any of them were gods, unless you expand the definition of the word to the point of absurdity. I appreciate the idea of your Maker, a god that does not need to prove his power. I wish more such gods felt the same

Cassandra: You have seen much sadness in your journeys, Solas. Following the Maker might offer some hope.

Solas: I have people, Seeker. The greatest triumphs and tragedies this world has known can all be traced to people.

 

Can't listen to any of his banter without getting my mind blown.

btw zambixi you are now officially in charge of maintaining the Solavellan playlist LOL

That is a really wonderful exchange. 

 

Spoiler

Also seems to confirm that Solas is not a 'god' in the traditional sense. He might be a powerful, ancient spirit, but he clearly has limits and failings.

And if he's just an extremely powerful mage, then it suggests that there may have been many others to claim godhood back in the old days.

I sense there's something in the wind
That feels like tragedy's at hand
And though I'd like to stand by him
Can't shake this feeling that I have
The worst is just around the bend

And does he notice my feelings for him?
And will he see how much he means to me?
I think it's not to be

What will become of my dear friend?
Where will his actions lead us then?
Although I'd like to join the crowd
In their enthusiastic cloud
Try as I may, it doesn't last

And will we ever end up together?
No, I think not, it's never to become
For I am not the one

 

Ah, makes me think of these two (also somewhat fitting):

Solas really is a never ending source of well thought out awesomeness

[KyndredRaven]

Agreed, I especially love it when a part of lost temple starts playing and he removes the vallaslin, it just feels really intimate as you said

 

I kept thinking it was somewhere in the Thedas Love Theme, but I also just recently realized it's part of the Lost Temple on the soundtrack xD

OMFG

 

OMFG ARE YOU FOR REAL RIGHT NOW???

 

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKES

So. 40 different endings. Does that mean one of them means the orb doesn't get broken or Solas doesn't go?

40 different endings....I had forgotten that. It must just mean epilogue card variations....

It is very complicated! 

It's so interesting though. I really hope they can continue the story in a DLC/Expansion! That cliffhanger is no bueno~ I didn't even romance Solas but I'm invested in this no joke. I cannot put myself through the romance, it will hit me hard. Like I need some sort of resolution like the Blackwall romance. I mean you get heartache along the way but you can get a better resolution, Solas' on the other hand....*sad panda face*

[slmisfit]

I haven't actually finished the game yet, but I have a feeling their 40 different endings claim has more to do with what happens after the final mission, and not the final mission itself. Like the epilogue cards from other DA/Bioware games.

[Birdy]

Well one of Solas' quests don't trigger right?  So we don't know what it entails. It could have something to learning more about the orb.  Maybe there's one that it doesn't break.  (I can dream that there's one Solas doesn't leave.  >.>)
