^ I do think that's Ghila's vallaslin. My Mahariel had it, too. Looks like halla horns.
I'm running a party of Solas, Dorian and Varric currently and OMG. The destruction is just terrific. And so colorful! I can imagine Dorian saying "Oops, your face melted off. Sorry about that. On the bright side, it was quite a show."
I was worried about aggro but no one gets close enough for that, and if they do, Solas just freezes them solid. It makes me cackle.
I thought the bottom right one here was Mythal's. It's got the tree thing going on, and the other one looks like halla horns.
I'm not sure, I don't think they ever said anything about the DAO tattoos. It looks quite a bit like DAI's Mythal one though, just a bit thicker. The DAO one and the DAI one both have the forehead-only variant like your Mahariel has and the full face one like mine, too. Just assuming, though.
I wish Bioware released an official vallaslin chart for the DA:O versions. They made a lot of changes to some of their design when it came to DA:I but some of them stayed more or less similar to their DA:O designs. We did, however, have some speculation on what each DA:O vallaslin represented as shown in this site or this chart :
I love Solas, Dorian and Cole together with my KE..I do tend to feel a bit sorry for Cole though, he never has a chance to hit anything to generate any guard, but he has to come, because he's Cole..he just spends his time running backwards and forwards...^ I do think that's Ghila's vallaslin.

Wait... rogues can generate guard?! In two rogue playthroughs I never managed to do that. How? 
EDIT: Blah, nevermind. It was already dropped.
I saw this headcanon on Tumblr and it was beautiful, so I must share!

And everyone will interpret your story however they wish. Humans will continue to claim you were the Herald of Andraste - assuming you won't get "deleted from history" for some political reasons, like Shartan did -, the Dalish will believe that you were guided by the Creators (well, they won't be wrong about this, since at least Fen'Harel and Mythal *were* there), and so on. But your real story will be lost. That's the main reason I am very careful about believing things like "Andraste was divine" and such. Political reinterpretations aside, stories *do* grow taller with time.
This is why I love the DA codices. All of them are in-universe texts meaning they can't be taken as straight fact. You have to look at everything you find through a critical eye. Was Andraste divine? Was she a mage? Was she Flemeth? How will future game codices treat Quizzy? It's so much fun to think about this!
I crafted them all armour that generates guard. It's my indestructible party. But normally no, they don't
I know crafting guard penetrating armor. But guard generating? What materials are that? Please tell.

I'm kinda spooked that my Warden just happened to have Mythal's vallaslin. Or, the DA:O equivalent anyway.
Spoiler
I shall never look at her Flemeth interactions the same way again.
Oh, it's a banter? I thought it was just something she's supposed to say.
That's problematic, because despite apparently fixing the party banter bug the most recent patch appears to have made it worse for me. Hmph.
That's actually the Halla goddess' vallislin.
Fade touched obsidian or onyx.
Ah, yes, but I never got that to work on classes that cannot generate guard by themselves already. I only could enhance warriors. Using it on mage or rogue never worked for me.

8 pages! Just saying. Same proceduer as every time I return. Soory for repition and such
Oh, are you trying to freak us out with "ZOMG Solas might have been Mythal's lover??"
Cause, that bit of furor happened like 500 pages ago lol.
Though that does make me feel a bit disturbed, it's not unlikely considering they've known each other since 'forever' But I'm more leaning towards mother/son or mentor somehow.
And the topics do tend to/be bound to go around in circles as new people join the tread.
Right now, this thread is not nearly at its worst. That goes to the day that he was announced as a female elf exclusive romance and randoms popped in to say that he was racist and only wanted them for elven babies.
I have went into other threads and immediately turned tail and came back here. As long as I can have my fics, lovely fanart and egg jokes, I am perfectly content to stay.
People really said that? That's... I don't have words to express...
Did anybody else click him like a bazillion times to get him to say the romance dialogue?
"Hawke."
"Hawke."
"Hawke."
"Hawke stop poking me."
"*sigh* Fine. I remain at your side."
No? Just me?
Yupp, did that more than once, just as I visited/visit Solas over and over again just to hear him say my heart/love/Ma'vhenan.
Here's my theory.
To me the circles are likelly to represent the old elven goods/creators. Solas/Fen'Harel already taken his place.
The question is which the others are...(?)
There's the ensignia for the sun, the moon, the wind and the earth. The four pillers, probably
Mythal is technically/suppousedly dead so she shouldn't be among them, but I think she could be the moon.
My gues wold be Elgar'nan being the sun, But for the others it's hard to say, could be any of them.
But if I would guess I'd say Falon'din as earth (dead elves being buried) and Andruil as the wind (because of, you know - arrows)
The head of the staff look like a halla-head to me. So I'd say that represents Ghilan'nain
The flame is Solas hand has to reprecent Sylaise, since she's the one teaching the elves to use fire.
Then there are two places next to him that has three stars that are June and Dirthamen.
But it could also be Falon'din and Dirthamen since the sign are the same and they are said to be twins. Then that would mean June as the earth. Probably fits better.
Did I get everyone? I think I did.
That's my interpretation anyway. 
My Lavellan can't wear her faboulus outfit that matches Solas', since she's a KE and this fade-touched material drops caltrops on a hit. She triggers all of the caltrops with her magic sword and kills herself in a shot. 
I still cry a little inside when I think about it.
I asked the question because I was thinking back on it and I've never met a real guy that was bald that I also found attractive and I think I understand why.
Most guys that I see with shaved heads, they are really beefy guys. Guys like Iron Bull...Not my thing.
Pretty guys like Cullen? Not my thing.
Slim guys who are kind of awkward looking? Totally my thing. Solas fits the bill. It's just him being bald is one aspect to him and I have never seen my type of guy, appearance-wise with no hair. Just an interesting thought, I had.
I don't really like seeing all the art of Solas with hair. I draw him without hair because, to me, that is Solas. I feel like when I see him with hair, it's like I'm looking at an entirely different person whom I have no connection with. idk. People are free to draw what they like, I just don't usually go for it.
My husband started his DA:I playthrough earlier than me, I was watching from time to time his PT and we were discussing the game (I was very decided NOT to try DA:I after the DA2 and ME3 disappointment, these 2 games really broke my heart). He asked me what would be my romance option and I said: "Cole!" Then if Solas would be my romance option and I was like: ygh, no, there's something repulsive in him.
No idea if this was baldness or what, but he seemed too soft somehow for me, don't know how to call it.
...and then I started to play the game, Solas started sharing his opinions and I was totally jaw-dropped.
Besides the fact at one point of the game I thought exactly this:

Sadly, we never get the option to respond. That would have been a really interesting conversation, and a great bit of character immersion. I don't think Cassandra asked to be rude, but it still reads as a tad culturally insensitive given the history of thedas and Cassandra's role as right hand.
I think my character would have responded politely, maybe tried to educate Cassandra on dalish beliefs. For myself, I personally think the question was a bit boneheaded, if well meaning.
Quissie: Tell you what. Why don't we go to the tavern, have a few drinks and you can tell be about your Chant and I'll tell you the stories of the Creators?

*giggle* Yeah I had that experience too. Think first time was when I put on him the keeper outfit. I just can't help it - I just love the dalish designs.... So yes, I made him Dalish. 
This is exactly why he needs Lavellan. He was ready to just say **** it and leave it all benind for her and then he balked... when he probably would have been much better off if he had just let it go and stayed with her.
Though this would probably mean living in a lie and it seems to me it's very important for him to be faithful for who he really is (his despise of considering himself as "one of the elves" is one of the traits of this).
Ehhh... So complicated! So thorn apart! So interesting and heartbreaking! *withdraws to cry silently in her corner*
Friend of mine got me to do a summary of all the tinfoil theorizing we were doing yesterday concerning the old gods and wardens, so since I summarized it fully, I thought I'd share here too for anyone who likes that sort of thing and wasn't able to follow due to the speed of the thread.

When I see your screenshots I wonder, do you never give him the Dalish armor? Because I think it is really nice. It's a shame Solas is the only companion who can wear it.

SpoilerI'll keep this in google docs in case it comes up again, since I'm not the only one who liked and contributed to this.
Except Gilhan'nin isn't a he but a she. 'The mother of the Halla'.

Dam, why have I never thought about giving him a Dalish armor *bangs head in the table* I'm so stupid!
Have to do that at replay of the final fight. A good looking dalish dragon bone armor to match my Lavellan.
