What was the prerequisite to trigger "What Lies Dormant" again? Was it just going to the Hinderlands to activate the first artifact? Do we have to collect more? I don't see it trigger on my PS4.

I took Solas out and got one of the artifacts I hadn't activated yet. As soon as I activated it the war mission popped up "Measuring the Veil". After you do that (19hr) mission "What Lies Dormant" becomes available.
Omg I might not have any artifacts left T.T

I tried Knight-Enchanter yesterday for the first time. Oh. My. God. It's not just overpowered, it's insane! The only downside is that enemies tend to kick me down on the floor, so it's kill-kill-kill-roll-on-the-floor-kill-kill-kill. Knight-Enchanter kills everyone. Knight-Enchanter got a permanent barrier(sort of). Knight-Enchanter looks cool. Knight-Enchanter never runs out of mana. Knight-Enchanter protects Solas. It's not "hey, me and Solas - two Rift Mages together!", but it's still great.
You know, I wish that Presence from the Arcane Warrior quest in DAO could've seen one of his people doing that combat stance. I think it would have been proud.

So I just got Solas's comment about the shadow goddess that drove the Alamarri. From my poor memory,
"The Alamarri crossed the Frostbacks, fleeing a shadow goddess. I found the spirit that drove them away, wandering the southern tundras, weeping, afraid. Great Ferelden formed because a lonely spirit drove her prey away."
That's...very interesting. Prey? How exactly was she preying on them? And why wander the southern tundras? She must have crossed past the Alamarri and gone into the tundra, since they fled from the North.

Hush! She said she's not fishing for compliments.
Sorry, I can't help it. That's just the way i reat to such a thing ![]()
I don't think "art" means "being able to reproduce (anatomy) on paper"...
I agree. To me it's rather being able to conjure a feeling in the watcher/beholder.
______
Finaly were able to play the Dorian quest last night. Must say i like him even more after that (always liked him from the start, he's sassy)
So that makes it Solas, Cullen, Dorian and Cole for me. ![]()
Sadly no sight of Solas's "What lies dormant" quest... (for a previously played character)
And speaking of art. Haven't drawn anything in... 2 years (!) (has it really been that long?)
Would like a good reference model to work from for Solas... suggestions?

I was entirely against Knight Enchanter before. Wasn't even considering it. But you may have just sold me on this path for Serenity's spec. Too bad she's a filthy human, though. Hope Solas doesn't lecture her about it.
...On second thought. I hope he does.

Aaah! So frustrated! A few weeks ago I edited a worldstate in the Keep, and that's the one I'm using for my Solasmance PT, only when I exported it, I didn't noticed that it had COMPLETELY RANDOMIZED ITSELF! I didn't find out until after talking with Hawke hearing about the wrong Warden, and I had completely wiped clean the Hinterlands, even sneaking into Lady Shayna's Valley to collect the shards so I could go as far as possible into the Temple of Pride (Almost cleaning out the Forbidden Oasis in the process), did all quests in Fallow except These Demons are Clever, and did everything possible in the Storm Coast, AND this is the first time I love the looks of my character! Then I get to Skyhold and find out that my worldstate is wrong!? Ugh! I don't want to restart because I want to finally finish the Solasmance, but this is going to bug the hell out of me the whole rest of the playthrough.

OH MY looks like Lavellan was about to go for the butt too:
I see your hand sneaking over there, gurl! :3
What's good for the gander!
I think Kinloch Hold was built by the Avvar. Which makes all the magical weirdness going on there quit interesting. And it's probably why the Vints drove them out in the first place. Magical weirdness is kind of their thing.
So I'm just going to throw out a crazy hat theory that's just now popped into my head.
6625 after its founding, Arlathan is lost.
5185 years after Arlathan was founded, the Alamarri fled modern-day Tevinter and the Neromenian tribes, citing a 'shadow goddess'. They skipped through all the pleasant, arable lands of modern Orlais and the Free Marches and Nevarra, and crossed the Frostbacks, just to get away from whatever happened.
'Shadow goddess' could be Falon'din being so pretty they mistook him for a lady. Or it could be Andruil, twisted by the Void and 'wielding weapons of darkness'.
As someone just posted, the shadow goddess is a spirit that Solas met and can tell you about. Maaybe he's using a veiled reference to Andruil, but he seems to pity this spirit.
Solas sure has grabby hands.
And you do know what they say about big hands...
This gif, ROFL.

Solas and Lavellan can have a conversation about that where she says that very thing and he agrees. You have to get the spec before doing All New Faded for Her or the convo won't trigger.
About water as conductor: It's possible there's something about water being a conductor of magical energies. There's the Well of Sorrows, which as Colonel pointed out isn't unique since Lake Calenhad seems to be one big one. Blood carrying magical power also.

Anyone else find themselves obsessively listening to Taylor Swift post-game? I don't mean to exaggerate but...I feel like she knows our pain.
Ahem...
'In dreams, I meet you in warm conversation
We both wake in lonely beds, different cities
And time is taking its sweet time erasing you
And you've got your demons and darling they all look like me'
That last line is probably a little too accurate.
Also...
'I said no one has to know what we do
His hands are in my hair, his clothes are in my room
And his voice is a familiar sound, nothing lasts forever
But this is getting good now
He's so tall, and handsome as hell
He's so bad but he does it so well
And when we've had our very last kiss
My last request is
Say you'll remember me
Standing in a nice dress, staring at the sunset, babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you'll see me again even if it's just in your wildest dreams
You see me in hindsight
Tangled up with you all night
Burning it down
Some day when you leave me
I bet these memories follow you around'
And one for Team Optimism?
'Your kiss, my cheek
I watched you leave
Your smile, my ghost
I fell to my knees
When you're young, you just run
But you come back to what you need
This love is good
This love is bad
This love is alive back from the dead
These hands had to let it go free
And this love came back to me
This love left a permanent mark (!?)
This love is glowing in the dark (SHE KNOWS)
These hands had to let it go free
And this love came back to me'
Both Red and 1989 are full of this stuff. I've never been broken up with in real life so I couldn't really relate before. But now? Suddenly things make sense. And I'm wondering if Swifty has experienced an actual Solas break up, permanent glowing marks and all.
I'm too old for this.

Is it only Lavellan that gets that conversation? All of his stories about his journeys were different from my Qunari and human playthroughs.
Or am I going crazy? Or is it based off of approval?

After I finshed my last play though, I was skipping though my songs on my ipod and I found that Not Strong Enough by Apocolpitica feat Brent Smith was strangly appropriate. espacaliy form a Solas point of view...here is the chorus
And it's killin' me when you're away, I wanna leave and I wanna stay.
And I'm so confused, So hard to choose.
Between the pleasure and the pain.
And I know it's wrong, and I know it's right.
Even if I try to win the fight, my heart would overrule my mind.
And I'm not strong enough to stay away

Who says we don't already? It is possible to listen to and enjoy more than one type of music, you know.
Besides, if Solas listens to music, it would no doubt be classical stuff. Metal, rock and modern pop would probably give him a headache.

And writing unfortunately does not go together with metal...
