I can imagine Solas doing all these things during his journey after he left<3



Lyrics: 
The stars lean down to kiss you,
And I lie awake I miss you,
Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere.
Cause I'll doze off safe and soundly,
But I'll miss your arms around me
I'll send a postcard to you dear, 
Cause I wish you were here.

I watch the night turn light blue, 
But it's not the same without you, 
Because it takes two to whisper quietly, 
The silence isn't so bad, 
Till I look at my hands and feel sad, 
Cause the spaces between my fingers
Are right where yours fit perfectly.

I'll find repose in new ways, 
Though I haven't slept in two days, 
Cause cold nostalgia chills me to the bone.
But drenched in Vanilla twilight, 
I'll sit on the front porch all night, 
Waist deep in thought because when I think of you.
I don't feel so alone.
I don't feel so alone.
I don't feel so alone.

As many times as I blink I'll think of you... tonight.
I'll think of you tonight.

When violet eyes get brighter,
And heavy wings grow lighter,
I'll taste the sky and feel alive again.
And I'll forget the world that I knew,
But I swear I won't forget you,
Oh if my voice could reach back through the past, 
I'd whisper in your ear, 
Oh darling I wish you were here.

Omg the feels! T_T

That is beautiful...and yummy. Great thing to wake up this morning

[Patchwork]

But the 'trickster god' is the label he got from the Dalish. He is the god of rebellion, not trickery. 

He is also horrible at concealing emotions and he is really suspicious through the entire game for that reason.

I barely outright lies, and when he does he does it badly "uhhhh FADE! Yes, I saw it in the fade!", he doesn't like lying, he disapproves when he has to lie after the Winter Palace. He is more likely to avoid telling things rather than tell a blatant lie.

He is really compassionate, it's quite obvious, his writer did tell us that you get to see who he really is through his banters.

 

Plus, he looked horrified when he saw what the explosion caused. Maybe he didn't intend for Coryflakes to live on after unlocking the ord but I don't think he thought it would cause a large scale explosion.

 

What you're saying is true but he's also shown to be a strategist and dedicated to his cause. If his Cory and The Orb plan had been successful he would have felt guilty at the high price but he still would have picked up that orb and gone on his merry way to complete the next stage of his plan.  

 

I've no doubt that if he could have ripped the anchor from the Inquisitor's hand, whether it killed them or not, he would have.

 

For all his good qualities when it comes down to it this is a man who will sacrifice his love and his dearest friend to achieve his goal, the lives of strangers can easily be justified. It's easy to be kind when it costs you nothing. 

[Illyria]

I'm paraphrasing, but I believe one of the disapproval dialogues for Solas after the well of sorrows implies that he enjoys watching those who grasp for power only to be staggered by the very power they are trying to control. 

 

I imagine that's the sort of irony he was going for with Corypheus. He probably smugly thought that Corypheus was going to take the orb, power it up, and then kill himself in the process of trying to access it. Which unfortunately turned into another instance of Solas's pride getting the better of him- he completely underestimated Corypheus's abilities. 

 

I don't think he intended for the explosion to happen. But the fact that he was trailing Corypheus does leave me to think that he did know something was going down, and waited it out rather than intervene. 

 

This is my theory too.  Solas clearly didn't intend the Breach or all the deaths (there is a look of desperation on his face when Quizzy first tries sealing it after the Pride Demon fight that really says 'this wasn't meant to happen!') so him intending to kill Cornflakes with the power he unlocked makes sense.

The bit about sacrificing the quizzy and that he would have ripped it from our hands, where are you getting that bit? I ask because it seems clear he'd never do that. At least not in current circumstances.

[BoscoBread]

Remember that (for all my Solas love considered) the guy is Fen'Harel, the trickster God. And he's speaking in riddles through the whole game, knowing so many things he doesn't even tell you.

Do you really think he'd admit that the explosion was intended? Of course not. 

The more I think about it the more I think it might indeed have been what was intended to happen. Cory was just not supposed to survive it. 

Or he was tricked in some way, like I was sure of before. 

 

Ah, now I'm all confused...  

I have to disagree.  I think he was wandering the world looking for any powerful mage to help him unlock the orb. He probably didn't mean to give it away, just needed assistance. He would have killed the other person - if necessary - but he probably hoped they would help and he would be on his merry way.  Remember what Bianca said --  she told a Warden Mage about the red lyrium. I have feeling the Corypheus was parading as the warden - Larius/the lady - for years.  Solas probably sensed someone very powerful and sought them for assistance.   Then he was duped.  He also seems actually surprised that Corypheus can even access all that power in the orb.  Solas probably only thought a mage could just help him power it up, not actually use it.  That's why I don't think he intended for anything at the Conclave to happen even as a side-effect.  Kind of a theme with him - he tends to be blinded by his own wisdom and continues to make mistakes because of it.

 

I never thought he spoke in riddles.  Half-truths maybe. Never out right lies.

Alright, it's settled then. My warrior is off to a Solas nemesis playthrough. And if it really all comes down to "pride blinded him", I'll be very very disappointed. Siha greatly disapproves!

Obviously, he is indeed the person who believes that the end justifies the means, but I'm pretty sure that if he can control it he will keep sacrifices to a minimum. He cherishes life and freedom.

 

I don't think he sat and planned anything with Coryflakes, tbh. I think he needed help unlocking the orb, something he couldn't do by himself because he lacked the power, and he gave/let (planted or whatever) Coryfabulous the orb in hope he'll succeed with that. I don't think Solas would've risked having someone more powerful than him (because if Coryshmock can unlock the orb it means he has more power than Solas) becoming the new world's god. He has worked so hard to free the people from the elven pantheon's reins, I can't see him letting the world fall to the hand of some evil magister.

 

I think Coryfilous searched some elven ruins for a "somnaborium" to try and get to enter the fade and become god, Solas saw a magister, a person who can unlock the orb (perhaps because he has used such things in the past), and let him have it. The reason I think he planted the orb/let him take it rather than go up to him and give him the orb is because Cory didn't recognize Solas in the final battle. Maybe Solas didn't even believe he can unlock it, but he did keep an eye on him (he was at Haven at the time of the explosion, that can be seen in Varric's intro video).

 

But of course, I could be entirely wrong

According to some line Solas says before Skyhold all the Gods of the elven pantheon had a orb, yes. 

But Mythal's 'actually' dead, She got murdered _{(By tevinter i believe, posing as Andraste)}

Her Orb might have been destroyed. At least it's no longer with her.

 

Actually, he says some of the orbs where dedicated to specific members of the pantheon, so it's not certain every god had one. Ofc it could be just him being vague about it.

Damn ninja onions are making my eyes water...

[Dr. Doctor]

So even in stories Fen'Harel has a thing for the Fade and entering dreams. Interesting.

Now I can just picture Merrill casually pointing out that Solas is Fen'Harel. People might call her crazy, but after talking to Solas it turns out she was right about spirits and demons.

[Elven_Glory]

So... Why is the mark called the anchor? Anchored to what, exactly?

[nikki-tikki]

Omg the feels! T_T

Yep. Yep the tears are real.

Wait...where did he sacrifice anyone?  He betrays them - in a way - but he doesn't really put them in any danger -- at least intentionally -- for his cause.  He actually leaves. He sacrifices his own happiness to put as much distance between himself and the Inquisition. 

 

And I don't think he views the deaths of strangers as "nothing".  Remember his banter between him and Bull about how he did not enjoy killing bandits.  He does have a heart.

[Shari'El]

I think it anchors the user to the real world so they can walk the fade without danger?

I have no idea, but I always felt the fact its' called anchor is significant.

Actually, Felassan tells Briala some stories about Fen'Harel as a trickster, and he isn't Dalish. I don't think the stories about Fen'Harel as a trickster are exclusively Dalish.

 

As for the orb, I don't think it's as simple as Solas giving the orb to Corypheus. Corypheus comments on Solas during the final battle, but doesn't seem to recognize him, thinking he's simply a "ragged mage".

My secret hope is that it anchors us to Solas, seeing as we got it from his orb. Which I guess is doubtful, but it would make it awfully difficult for Solas to get rid of us.

That's my hope too, tbh (I think it's time to officially add "team optimism" to my signature )

 

Although I wouldn't mind this for my Solaslavellans, I can't imagine it's implications for my non-solasmancers characters + potential implications for PC who drank up from the well. Uber-god-power-combo? :/

Yes. Yes. And yes.

Felassan isn't Dalish (and it's suspected he's an ancient elf), but he tells some stories about Fen'Harel, and seems to have an uncanny knowledge about Elvhenan and Arlathan. Felassan tells Briala one story about Elvhenan that features the Dread Wolf:

 

Felassan: "There was a young noble in fair Arlathan, and it happened that the elven king lost one of his two daughters to a serpent's bite. At the ceremony to commemorate her life, the young noble saw an elven lady so fair and perfect that his heart broke - but by the laws of ancient Arlathan, he was forbidden to speak with her during the ceremony, and he did not learn who she was, so he could not ask her family to court her. The young noble prayed to the gods that he might meet the elven lady again. He prayed to Mythal for love, and Dirthamen for the secret of the elven lady's name, and to Andruil for luck in the hunt for this woman. And finally, he made an offering to Fen'Harel...and the Dread Wolf was the only one who answered. In a dream that night, he told the noble what he needed to do to see his heart's love again. Do you know what he said?"

 

Briala: "Kill the king's other daughter."

 

Felassan tells another story about Fen'Harel to Briala about a village:

 

"The god Fen'Harel was asked by a village to kill a great beast. He came to the beast at dawn, and saw its strength, and knew it would slay him if he fought it. So instead, he shot an arrow up into the sky. The villagers asked Fen'Harel how he would save them, and he said to them, 'When did I say that I would save you?' And he left, and the great beast came into the village that night and killed the warriors, and the women, and the elders. It came to the children and opened its great maw, but then the arrow that Fen'Harel had loosed fell from the sky into the great beast's mouth, and killed it. The children of the village wept for their parents and elders, but still they made an offering to Fen'Harel of thanks, for he had done what the villagers had asked. He had killed the beast, with his cunning, and a slow arrow that the beast never noticed."

[Mims]

I could see the Inquisitor linked to Fen'Harel in the sense that we now have his power. What I'd like to know is if greater entities might actually mistake the Inquisitor for Fen'Harel in disguise, given that we presumably have the lion's share of his distinct magic. Which could make an interesting plot point if, say, an angry elven god was to target you thinking you were him. 

[almasy87]

Guys I've got a little question..
Anybody knows what Solas replies to your non romanced character if you tell him "Sounds like you're leaving"?
I remember my Trevelyan had that option after What Pride has Wrought but I never pick that cause I always want to thank him instead. 

I am curious to see what he makes up if you tell him that
