OMG THOSE FANFICS!

 

[Cheerios789]

Ok, in an attempt to delve back into mysteries of Solas I have a question.

 

Does anyone have a good reason or theory on why there are so many Fen'harel statues everywhere?  Not in the Plains, but in Temples devoted to specific members of the Pantheon.  The only one that makes sense is in Mythal, but no one explains it.  Remember the Dead Hand had one and the Temple of Dirthamen and there were more too.  So what is that all about?

 

What role did Fen'harel truly fill?

 

Surely he didn't start out as the "God of Rebellion"

 

 

Another topic.

 

Solas mentions how back in ancient Arlathan there was no separation between the Fade and reality.  However, Skyhold is called thus because it was "holding back the sky" and it is from ancient elvhen times.  I can only imagine that "holding back the sky" means holding the veil in check. 

 

It almost feels like Fen'harel predates more history than we give him credit for.

OP updated with the new info from PW regarding Solas' lines at Temple of Mythal, thanks to Prince of Keys for spearheading the hunt for an answer to this

[SamanthaJ]

Maybe Fen'Harel started out as some kind of guardian or protector? Wasn't it in the Emerald Graves where they talked about the Emerald Knights having wolf partners? And the statues there look like the wolf statues everywhere, including the one where Morrigan was like "this is Fen'Harel why is he here".

Yea, I've been going "completionist" trying to get Dorian and Iron Bull hooking up, so I've spent a loooooot of hours lately just running around environments looking for bottles or random crap. And now that I know about Solas, I am noticing all those wold statues more and more. They are everywhere. 

 

I wonder how they make him feel.

Are all these statues actually depicting Fen'Harel? I was under the impression that they depicted the wolves who bonded with the Emerald Knights, at least the ones in Emerald Graves. I haven't had a good look at the ones in the temples. I will have to pay more attention!

[Tabitha Jane]

Oh damn, I had the same plot bunny.  But this is absolutely amazing.

If you write it, I will read the hell out of it )

My own Solas/Lavellan smut is a little more fluffy, though he is still the dominant one in the relationship.
I'm used to writing Fenris smut. I found this harder.

Out of likes for that day, but that was really well written. Love me some fluffy smut. ( ˘ ³˘)♥

[vertigomez]

Oh no that sound Solas makes if you kill the Pride Demon in his quest. 
 
I could never do that, I'm weak. I can't do a playthrough where he hates my guts as interesting as that might be!

Is there a video?!

I want to see it because I'm a terrible masochist.

[Cheerios789]

I like the idea that he was a protector first. 

 

Spoiler

  Especially considering his discussions of war with Blackwall and tactics with Sera. 

 

It would have made the betrayal that much harsher if he was the defender turned rebellious.  Perhaps Mythal's murder was the catalyst?

 

Still there are so many questions.

 

I can't get a clear idea of when the veil came into existence.  I feel like if I could, then it would help a lot.

[Mims]

I think part of the reason might be OOC. They wanted to make sure new people were aware of who Fen'Harel was. 

 

Then there's also the fact that a lot of them are likely ancient, and predate his betrayal of the other gods. 

[RynJ]

I'm a coward, but I totally can't complete Solas' quest by actually killing the demon. I can't do it to him! I really want to see the dialogue, though. Anyone got a video, maybe? [edit: nvm, found it, yay. - hopefully it got everything]

 

EDIT: this one: 

 

Starts around 3:33 in that video.

La Ronde Lunaire -  Origa

 

translated lyrics

It's only one step from a smile to anguish.

 

Moon was cherishing the moonlight,

Keeping the warmth of its candles

Amidst whirlpools, a little stream

And moon were so far from each other

 

Ah, that's an eternal drama

Far from each other they are, just like us

Ah, that's an eternal drama

It's only one step from a smile to anguish.

 

It's only one step from a smile to anguish.

 

Waters in a pond cherished the lily

Promising her rest on a peaceful bottom

But she gave her love to the stream

And doomed herself to suffering and death.

 

Ah, that's an eternal drama

Far from each other they are, just like us

Ah, that's an eternal drama

It's only one step from a smile to anguish.

 

It's only one step from a smile to anguish.

Excuse me, I think I've got some feels in my eye...

[kalasaurus]

Oh my, the influence you people have on me...

 

I started flirting with Dorian and his flirty remarks are hilarious.

 

Why didn't I do this my first playthrough!?

[Cheerios789]

Oh, that sound he makes.  Heartbreaking. 

 

If that had happened on my first PT, I would never have been able to justify his return to Skyhold.

 

Spoiler

  He really wants that orb.  Also it is interesting to note that I thought that some of the power was in the anchor, but if the Inquisitor truly made an enemy of Solas.  Then why wouldn't he simply kill her and take the power back?  I mean he would be fairly justified in doing so and we know he is ruthless.  Which can only mean that either that would not work or the mark is not the power he requires.

Spoiler

From what Corypheus says at Haven and what spirit!Justinia says in the Fade, I get the impression that killing the Inquisitor wouldn't do any good.  The magic of the Anchor would just fizzle out.  Once Corypheus realizes he can't take the Anchor from you, he quickly switches to just wanting you dead, Anchor be damned.  If killing you would grant him the Anchor, I'd think he would've mentioned it and tried much harder over the course of the game to end your life personally.

 

But here's a far-fetched thought; maybe the Anchor is a bit like the soul-transfer magic that Flemeth was talking about.  It can't be taken forcibly, but what if it could be given willingly back to Fen'Harel, the original source of its power?  *cue ominous music*

 

See, I can talk about deep plot speculation as well as filthy smutty fanfiction

For the same reason I didn't take Solas to the ball on my first playthrough. Horrible lapse in judgement. 

 

In my head cannon the only reason my Lavellan survived the breakup is cos of her relationship with Dorian. Which is why I am wasting hours of my life trying to get him laid....gonna live vicariously through him for awhile. 

[Sister Goldring]

So, I'm hopefully finally getting somewhere in my Solas-mancing game.  He really takes his time with things romance-wise.  I need advice before continuing much further.  Should I prepare for the inevitable with

 

a)  Chocolate

b )  Chocolate ice-cream or 

c)  Ignore the comfort foods and just open the Christmas Baileys in the back of the cupboard?

 

 

PS - I just love this character, he is just.....I don't know.......so worth the heartache.

Haha. I did that, though I missed the banter. I walked around for hours, but when I stepped away for a moment it apparently happened because I was able to ask them about their relations. I'm glad some people in the Inquisition are happy, at least. Even if misery does enjoy company. Varric seemed pretty miserable after his quest. Maybe Lavellan can go be miserable with him. Play some cards and drink.

 

@Sister Goldring: Both A and B, plus the last half of C (don't ignore the comfort food, you'll need that too)

[Avejajed]

I just wanted to warn everyone that I'm about to spend the next hour writing an extremely smutty fanfic featuring Lavellan and Solas. I was inspired and planned it all out in my head while I drove home.

And when I say smutty I mean really, really, really smutty. Lol.

I'd say d) All of the above.

 

Be prepared to be smacked with the feels (an expression I never used that often until Solas...)

Possibly.

 

Spoiler

  There was a theory that the anchor was a key to the eluvian the gods are trapped in.  If Solas truly wants to free them and he has perfectly justified reasons for hating the Inquisitor.  Then why would he not go full god-mode and force her/him to open the mirror?  I don't know.  Just a thought.  Like I'm trying to understand why he doesn't take what he wants by force.  I totally get why he wouldn't if he had any respect for the Inquisitor, but you can make a damn ruthless and power hungry character. 

 

Also I love smut.  Keep it coming ... er I mean flowing ... no no that's wrong ... *sigh*

My head cannon has Lavellan leaving presents for both The Iron Bull and Dorian in a futile attempt to get them together.  Meanwhile they've been shagging for months and she has no idea.

I vote C

[jellobell]

Possibly.

 

Spoiler

Like I'm trying to understand why he doesn't take what he wants by force.

Spoiler

Because that isn't how he rolls. He hates it when the Inquisitor just bullies people into doing what they want. It'd make him a hypocrite if he turned around and did the exact same thing to them just because he doesn't like them very much. He may very badly want to release the elven gods, but he isn't at the point where he'd compromise his principles to do it.

 

Which is why I can't see him as a villain unless there's some major character changes there.
