And crap. I had a long post and now all of it suddenly disappears. *sighs* I hate my life sometimes. Plus, I'm kinda feeling too stupid to theorise with the rest of you at the moment, which I hate because I love theorising, but thanks for my WHDLC fic I've actually been theorising on Solas's plans, and what the Elvhen pantheon would do if they woke up and how they would react to the new world state. That's kinda what I'm interested in atm.
I'm sure some of them would try to reconquor the world, some would slink away and establish a colony somewhere, some would try to rebuild something, some would try to build something new. I'm pretty sure more than one would fall into a deep state of depression, others into anger, revulsion, disdain (like Abelas), sorry, worry, and guilt (like Solas). But with beings who are technically if not quite literally gods their mental state is of great concern to me and probably should be to the rest of Thedas (if they knew).
Tin foil hat time:
I'm also pretty sure the elves as a species/subspecies/breed are close to extinction as well. Throughout the game we could have killed three whole clans, humans are still continually persecuting them whenever they get the chance (I'm using the Chantry's response to the events of red crossing scroll you discover during the Tomb of the Emerald Knights expedition as evidence: the Dalish try to apologise while the Chantry uses it as an excuse to further incite violence against the elves despite the fact that both sides were at fault), plus there's that whole bullshit human+elf=human crap (am I the only one that has forgotten that while Fenriel was sired by a human father he still did have some elven features. His ears weren't human for starters - I remember that correctly). So in a few hundred years, with the way things are going, the elves won't exist any more. I'm absolutely certain of it. They're going the way of the Neanderthals at the moment and soon there won't be any left at all. 
And I've lost my train of thought now. Oh well, what do you guys think?
Also, have some stupid sexy Solas. 


Yup! I've been flycammin' too! ^^
It does seem to be going that route, doesn't it?
Sera is probably what will happen.
The Dalish will die a relatively quick, proud death. They'll die by starvation, abominations, Templars, mobs. They're already scattered across Thedas. They've already grown apart.
The City elves will suffer pogrom after pogrom, with more and more bits of elvishness stripped away. Human lords probably destroying the vhenadahl in reprisal for rioting or just killing the Vaughans of the world.
They'll just keep pushing the elves until they conform and act as human as possible. Then, slowly, the elves will stop caring about all the abuse they've suffered. Then they'll be bred out.
Strange as it may sound, but by far the creepiest Codex entries for me where the ones about the Exalted March on the Dales. The smugness that the Chantry wrote about tearing down the shrines on the river and singing the Chant there instead. 'Freeing' the elves from their heathen gods. As horrible as the treatment of the elves has been in DA games, it doesn't disturb me anywhere near as much as that. The feeling of righteousness at destroying the People's last refuge and rejecting their religion and culture as 'misguided demon worship'. They'd have done something similar to the Qunari, or vice versa, but those were two great powers fighting each other. As hard a fight as the Dales gave, it was them against the world.
Like you say, I imagine Solas has envisioned the downfall of the Elvhen. He's probably been observing the fall for centuries in slow motion. And he probably has a plan in place to stop it.
I'd recommend a new homeland.
On an island.
Guarded by dragons.
And the Hero of Ferelden and Commander Shepard, both riding griffons.
That might stop the Exalted March in its tracks.
...Oh my gosh. This game has made me go from, "Well, the Dalish and the Chantry hardliners are kind of pricks," to "The Dalish may be pricks, but they're mini-Snapes/Morgans, everyone. They're trying, dammit!"
