Here are some screens from the final romance scene as seen through Lavellan's eyes.
Lots of large images as usual.

There is absolutely nothing okay about this series of pictures. I am not okay after this series of pictures.
The pyramids on Par Vollen (created by ancient humans, apparently) depict horned figures as gods. This played a part in the ease of the Qun's annexation of Par Vollen. The pyramids also match up perfectly to Elgar'nan's constellation, apparently.
Over in Scuttlebutt, this combined with the 'Those Across the Sea' references and Iron Bull's comments on the kossith have led some to believe that a kossith invasion will be the plot of DA4. And that Elgar'nan will be involved.
Thoughts?
Tin foil hat theories?
Which stage are we on at the moment?
Ugh, The Qunari and the Kossith are a huge gaping hole of "no idea" in my theories. I suspect they're an ancient-Tevinter Imperium-era breeding attempt to bolster the inherent Will (blood song volume) of sacrificial slaves by mixing elven and dragon blood, but that's not based on much more than an offhand comment by Corypheus that they were "a mistake" and that making the attempt seems like a logical move for Tevinter that would have blown up in their face.
Brutally strong, iron-willed dragon-slaves? Yeah. Nobody saw how that could have gone wrong.
Anyway. Strongly suggestive, but not definitive. We do know that magisters that pushed the envelope (so to speak) didn't like to do it anywhere near the heart of the Imperium itself. It would make sense, then, that if this were an ancient experiment that backfired in rebellion, that the Qunari started a good distance away from the parts of Thedas we're familiar with.
As for the Pyramids and ancient humans, and exactly what went on there... *utterly baffled shrug* I suspect there was extensive dream manipulation involved both in building the Qun and preparing these ancient humans for the idea of willing subjugation to Order, but more than that is pure speculation.
Where do you get your sources? Does Sten reference Kossith at all in DAO, or is it all Iron Bull dialog?
Here's the raw footage I used for the screenshots up top. In case you wanna see the final romance scene through Lavellan's eyes.
I had some trouble with the flycam at first so unfortunately I missed out on the first few seconds.
Also, there's plenty of horrifying face clipping, so be warned.
You, sir, deserve all the internets for getting this footage.
The animators did a fantastic job with Solas. He's just so freaking expressive. That moment when he looks at Lavellan after removing the Vallaslin.. It's like he's awestruck and falling for her all over again. That makes it so much more sad when he's backing away to keep her from touching him. ):
From the creator of Mordin Solus, the morally ambiguous old man who thought he was doing something bad for the greater good. However he later realizes that he made a mistake and puts his life on the line to try and right his wrongs. He defies his government to die with a clear conscience.
We present you with....
Solas.
Who... is a morally ambiguous old man.... who thought he was doing something bad for the greater good. and.... later realizes...
WEEKES!
Fingers crossed for Solis in 2016. He's a morally ambiguous etc.!

Wow, those are beautiful and really do look like a first-person view! Thanks so much!
Also: 
The last picture makes me want a Mass Effect-style, paragon interrupt for Lavellan to grab his hand and not let go. *sigh* Ugh, how can I have made it through the freaking Thane romance without resorting to fan fiction but Solas broke me? Oh right, because closure.
I will never be fine again.. I've been single for a year now.. I am in love with a video game character.. THAT DUMBED ME
*cries*

Solis 2016: a brilliant LI you can mentally flirt with via meaningful dialogue, instead of being forced to use cheap pickup lines.
*happy sigh* A girl can dream.

EDIT: Dang! Top page Solas, coming up! Is that teeny bits of facial hair I see?
Source: http://pictureamoeba...368623504/solas (with much bigger pictures!)
Thanks so much for those! And the video too!!! Unfortunately my computer just died on me so I'm stuck with likeless, quoteless me on my tablet. *sigh* I just replaced the power supply too... damn bitchy machine.
The feels...omg its killing me. The way he is backing off that she doesn't even touch him
Because she is his anchor into this world. She touches him, he loses himself once again.
In the option I chose, "I'm not giving up on you" she holds out her hands for him to touch her, giving him the choice.
And it's just...oh god...the feels are back and they hurt.

When he says that '' you'll see '' ---> dlc or next game we will see
Kinda hard to find a foothold in the ol' Solamance fanfiction stakes with how awesome some of them truly are, but my creepy vicarious'ness is showing and am enjoying writing about the two of them... so a little self-promotion if anyone is in to that kinda thing >_<
Facial study of Solas and my Lavellan
and two shorts, the first set in Haven, after she lies unconscious after falling out of the Fade, and the second of their first group camping trip in the Hinterlands.

Sten doesn't really reference the kossith that I'm aware of. He shares several tales of Ashkaari, presumably Koslun, but nothing specific.
The kossith being 'different' from the Qunari and likely being different in appearance, and that the Qunari are not the majority comes from Iron Bull's dialogue.
The Par Vollen Pyramids: http://dragonage.wik...s_of_Par_Vollen
The constellation: http://dragonage.wik...llation:_Solium
How the Qun started according to them: http://dragonage.wik..._entry:_The_Qun
It's interesting that it's claimed that before the Qun, most kossith prayed to animist gods. And that the Qun became law, the temples built to honor the gods were destroyed and the priesthood was either reeducated or exiled. Perhaps this is simply inaccurate, or perhaps the Qunari established a theocracy in a single nation that proved anathema to the rest of the kossith, and that is the cause for their exile.
It's also possible that the pyramids are just devoted to the Sun constellation, and not Elgar'nan or his father, and we're crazy theory-crafters. But what are the odds of that?
re: Kiss#2 Solas is a smooth operator. Wonder what he's thinking about here...
But he looks to be a little frustrated when he's walking away after. With what?
He left when things were getting good.. and Lavellan is like "what just hit me ?" "A tornado ?"
PS: Solas after he left went to eat some eggplant
