Speaking of Falon'Din...
It's like I'm staring at a backwoods elf from a tolken book. Not a bad thing. Elves are pretty. One day I hope legolas and gimli would kiss and live together in the old lands...
edit: Cold, cracked lips only soften by the lick of legolas' kiss. Gimli's beard tastes like Middle Earth cheetos.

They pretty much do in the Appendixes, if I recall correctly. 
Damn! He's beautiful! I thought I was looking at a Tolkien elf from LOTR. 
It makes me sad thinking that he'll probably end up NOT looking like that if ever we get to see him. 
EDIT: Ah! Now I want to see more artworks of the other elvhen gods. xD
This... this isn't Solas related but... I figured out what the Bog Unicorn is and it blew my mind.
On topic: really hoping patch 3 fixes Solas' third quest. And maybe adds in a repeatable kiss.
Am I the only one who cannot possibly imagine Solas with hair? I got too used to his baldy head and I think it makes him so sexy and different from everybody else!
I like him the way he is. Concept art is nice, but it's just a concept.
Wow that's one handsome elf! Reminds me that I shouldn't forget to buy ear cuffs someday..

Nope, there are many of us who prefer him bald.
You guys can keep him bald, I'm willing to try out if there were a hair mod.
I can guarantee that you are never, ever the only person in the world, or even in this thread, who feels a certain way about something.
You are not alone.
That said, I'm totally going to be all over any hair mod that gives Solas hair like in the fanart I reblogged above. Please and thank you.

It's true.

Ah damn, I dreamed I was buying a pair of latex elven ears last night. I remember thinking that I should shave my head now that I had the ears. 
Just wear one of those leather bald caps.
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.
Ummmm no more than any other hairstyle, I don't see how dreads are any indication of how 'hot blooded' and 'cocky' someone is, but if I was generalising, I can't think of any guys with dreads I've ever met that weren't peaceable. Obviously this is all subjective so what fits for one don't for another

AHHHHH. 
If the next patch doesn't include Solas's missing quest, I'll be very sad. That's pretty much the only thing holding me back from doing my completionist and alternate playthroughs.

Well, duh. Ofc not every person with dreads is going to be the same. I just think that his concept art (with hair) would be more fitting for his younger self 
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 think you're onto something. Also, what about those pillars that the dwarf in Skyhold talks about the mosaics being made of? Are those the Thousand Pillars? (Sorry, my coffee hasn't kicked in yet and I'm too lazy to look it up.) Anyway, he says that they are made of some sort of mortar, not solid stone.
Also we know that red lyrium turns people to stone, or, more correctly, crystal. What if the other pillars are red lyrium people that have been somehow cured? That would also explain the stone worship of the dwarves.
And I've been thinking about Dirthamen and Falon'Din and the lack of Dirthamen items in his temple, and also the supposedly close relationship they share. I'm wondering if Falon'Din is what Dirthamen became when he was corrupted, and the lore separated him into two people because he was so changed.
AHHHHH.

Yeah. At least patches adding in stuff gives me a reason to play my Lavellan again.
Who am I kidding. I don't need a reason.
But why are grey wardens grey?

I've always thought, that Wardens are called Grey because they operate outside your usual black-and-white morality.
Hey, theorycrafters, can you make something of this?
In the ritual that created the breach the Divine is floating above a seal of some kind.
And here's a close up of the seal, also, a video since the lines were kinda shifting about.
I can't really make anything of the symbols but maybe someone else can?
Holy... oh man, we definitely need an Arlathan DLC adventure...

Pretty sure I saw a screenshot in this thread somewhere of that same seal. Only much larger and painted in blood on the floor, with bones I think. I'm going to have to do some digging to find it.

I'd love to, but my style is too graphic and flat for this piece

I'm pretty sure we can see this seal on dungeon floor near some random skeleton, during In Hushed Whispers quest. I'll try and do some screenshots.

Someone posted before:
So on this PT I started recording everything to do with Solas. Also taking screenies. For this particular quest:
At the time I found this sacrificial ritual on the floor mega creepy. Like, this is the first and *particular* place Solas wants to go to when given a favour. Like... Solas.... is this where you woke up? Were you summoned by somebody into this world? Did it involve blood magic?
But that's crazy, whatevs.
