I dont need my mother in law reading what smutty fanfiction I enjoy, so let's not with Facebook. Lol.
Well unless it's a hidden group lol
It would, if I didn't coat the entire offer in heavy sarcasm.
Un-unless you people really want in. I'll FB group this s*** up straight away.
Lol. You've never done a facebook group on there have you? You can set it up to be invisible to those not in the group.
It's a thought, I'd like to post other stuff but Solas, but no where to go.

I CAN MAKE THIS THING HAPPEN, WE ARE ALL PRACTICALLY BFFS ANYWAY...
I don't know why I'm shouting...
It's late and my brain is frizzled, I think... *looks around nervously*

Interesting. I always forget to go back to the codex entries after drinking from the well. I think it has been mentioned on the thread before though. I don't remember all the possible interpretations.
I can't help but read the first line and think of darkspawn hunting the Old Gods. The darkspawn 'scurry, witless, soulless. 'This death will be a mercy,' not 'their deaths will be a mercy,' so I'm thinking the merciful death does not reference the 'witless, soulless' ones. If the Old Gods are corrupted, death would be a mercy, or it could be that death frees them from whatever trapped them in the first place. Then there's the line about the earth blossoming with 'their passing' - the end goal of all this.
If I'm interpreting this right, it certainly gives credence to the Old Gods as keys theory. I wonder what the two spheres could be? The two worlds, maybe - The Void and the 'old world' (where Fade and material world were one), or the Fade and the material world now. The imagery of the two spheres could also have something to do with the orb, if it is in fact one of a pair.
So were darkspawn actually created by the elven gods, then? It would be indirect, of course... Elves create Old Gods, Old Gods tempt Magisters, Magisters become first darkspawn. There was that theory going around about Andruil discovering the blight during her hunting expeditions in the Void.
Or I have it all wrong and the 'witless, soulless' workers are something else. Enslaved elves, maybe?
Also, the whole 'earth blooming' thing... Things grow when two worlds overlap. Red lyrium? Imshael, one of the Forgotten Ones from the Void, does call himself the 'gardener.' But red lyrium was found by accident. I wonder if it surfacing sooner than 'planned' is setting things in motion a lot more quickly than expected - hence Solas's sense of urgency.
Ugh... thinking out loud... Sorry it's a mess. I'm likely way off base, or it's all been said before, but more coherently.
My first thought is that the Pillars of the Earth are the Forgotten Ones/Titans, who are corrupted by the Blight and dwarves/elves are twisted by it into proto-darkspawn. The Creators in their heyday marshal their forces and quarantine the nightmare, but eventually Andruil and Ghilan'nain are infected, and the Pantheon slowly starts to fall into disorder as the gods war amongst themselves and the prison keeps breaking. Mythal is murdered by human upstarts, and things get real bad.
Fen'harel settles affairs.
The 'earth blooming with their passing' definitely points to some sort of Blight related illness. Then again, the Western Approach is still Blighted from the Second Blight, and the Anderfels from most of them. The unsteadiness of Theodosian society doesn't always get across, I think. This is a continent that has faced multiple extinction crises and has lost a lot of livable land, causing them to fight each other even more. It's quite nasty.
Supporting Old Gods as Pillars of the Earth is Solas's outrage at the idea of them being killed. Possibly they can still fulfill their duty even buried. But their Song seems to be untainted, a pure and glorious song, as the Architect wryly notes in The Calling.
EDIT: My sincere apologies for accidentally dropping this off in the 'Smut' portion of the Great Solassian Cycle. 
I'm open to more than just Solas smut.
I like all smut. I read a great Cullen Dorian the other day.
If it can be a group for any kind of smut. . .
I've avoided the Sub!Cullen fics. Just doesn't seem right.
Well I'm going back to bed, so inbox me any group you guys actually make and I can send my email your way. When I get up. XoxoxIf it can be a group for any kind of smut. . .

I'm in for a Facebook group. I don't have much to share, but I like reading about what others find interesting. I've been on a smutty fanfic kick about Fenris, Sebastian and Nathaniel Howe to a lesser extent. I expect I'll be onto Zevran and Leliana next before trawling through DAI based characters. So.. I can link those, I guess?
It's terrible when there are all these movie references you don't get because you didn't watch them.
Ah, sometimes it does have its advanatges to being 'old' 
Also, I'm somewhat inclined to think that Falon'din is also stirring and that he was the entity that... TME spoiler
SpoilerAnd he's after Solas. There's this little nook in the Exalted Plains that's marked with Falon'din's symbols (is that right?) and it gives you a codex on Fen'Harel, the traditional story of him as betrayer. With the creepy skull that has tentacles growing out of its base.
Spoiler
You mean there'd be another walking around God somewhere out there? After our (mine) Solas! 
That's a rather disturbing thought.
Just a quick thought; imagine the triangle drama that could create
Omg Smut-Bookclub YES

I'm reading through the Patient Observation codexes, and I never noticed this before:
Any ideas what that could be?
i thought it referred to the Grey Wardens you find out are part of the sacrifice when you get your memories back in the Fade.
Please bear with me - I am playing my first female elf and of course, romancing the Sol-man. He is not an easy catch. How can I tell that the romance is on? And when does it trigger? When I talk to him (at skyhold now) his goodbyes are softly voiced. Am I getting there?

Well, have you kissed him yet?
It's pretty obvious his romance triggers. Usually you'll get a kiss right after getting Skyhold.
I still consider it tragically ironic,that perhaps the only god who deeply cared for the people and is implied to be considered as their guardian for millennia,is the one the modern elves hate the most.
Could it be that Fen'Harel's mortal enemy (or immortal, if we want to be accurate) was the one who spread these lies? It's a tactic that people use all the time in wars to reduce the number of followers a nemesis might garner in the future.
Assuming this is correct, then said enemy was either directly responsible for the spread of such lies or had agents doing so after his/her fall. But who? Andruil? Elgar'nan? Falon'Din? (I've been reading too many fanfics the line between canon and fanlore is starting to blur.)
Orrr Fen'Harel did actually do something disastrous in the name of freedom that gloriously backfired and led to the ultimate fall of Arlathan. That would paint him in a bad light for future generation, to put it mildly. And honestly, his record of 'putting things right' do not look very promising. *cough*givingorbtoCorypheus*cough*
Just curious, why do people assume Solas had long hair even as a younger man?
responding to old posts as usual...
As everyone says, it is because of some of the concept art, but personally, I just cannot imagine Solas ever having long hair like that. I could maybe imagine a shortish mohawk, but long dreads? nope. The art posted is very well done, but I don't see Solas, just nice artwork of an elf guy. I also think the hair colour given is often too dark.

Personally, I'm with the team that believes that this(Fen'Harel's mortal enemy) is who Felassan was working for.And his last sentence in the book was going to end with "Fen'Harel" instead of "you",something that was going to displease the individual in question. I'm leaving it out of context just in case there are still people who haven't read the book.

Well, he says he was "hot-blooded and cocky, always ready to fight" when he was younger, so it'd fit his past self... modern day!Solas? Not so much. He's good as-is 
Punching Solas didn't make me feel better at all, even if he did deserve it for his actions in a parallel universe. 
Abaeni should go apologize for losing her temper.
Would anyone care to join me in the blanket fort with whiskey and brownies?
trade whisky with something ph neutral like milk and then we're talking. Hard time drinking bitter with sweet.
