Solas as a literal axe murderer is so mean! (and also hilarious). However, it's possible that discussing anything about Solas's future plans is considered spoiler territory, and not necessarily confirmation that he'll need the Inquisitor. Solas already managed to find his way to the Crossroads after all, which is where Morrigan figured Cory wanted to bust into the fade. Maybe Solas can do the same thing now that he has Mythal's mojo?

 

Anyway, I really hope you are right, but I'm not quite sure that tweet should be taken as confirmation just yet. :)

 

Not to mention he (possibly) has Mythal's power now, and she found no trouble finding her way into the fade via eluvian (as did Kieran), so it could be possible Solas can do the same now too.

 

(I hope there is Solavellan in the dlc anyway though.)

"Ma halani. Ma glandival. Vir enasalin."

I found this post on reddit with a pretty good translation/interpretation of what Solas is saying here: http://www.reddit.co...he_hinterlands/

 

I've been trying to piece this one together myself by reading the elven language section on the dragon age wiki. So far, the best I can do is this:

He says, "Ma Halani. Ma Glandival. Vir Enasalin."

She then hesitates and says, "Perhaps you are right."

Ma = my, mine, you (are)

Halani = help

Simple enough, but then Glandival isn't listed, so I googled and what came up was "Glandivalis" which is the sword Andraste gave to Shartan, and that's what he named it. There's no translation for it, but the sword itself has the power to enslave enemies, so the name given to it must have something to do with that. Makes sense, too, they were fighting against enslavement.

So if we take Glandivalis to have some meaning of "enslave/to be enslaved" then a variation could be "indebted".

Ma Halani, Ma Glandival = You are indebted for my help.

Then there's Vir Enasalin.

Vir = way or path

Enasal = joy in triumph over loss, a variation of joyful relief.

In = with or inside; dwell

I take it to mean, "Be content with the path you have chosen," since she did ask them for help and it places her in their debt, therefore she should be happy/willing to give something in return, like saying, "You should be happy to part with it."

Anyway that's my interpretation

Coooool, thanks guys!!! Ah, I like that :D Solas repeating what Lavellan says. It's kind of cute. I think he's (Solas is) a bit chastened in that scene. Lavellan made him feel a bit bad for what he said. This is just such a cute romance (so far lol); Solas prejudges Lavellan but I think ultimately finds himself charmed by him/her and a little amused/tickled by Lavellan's youthful gung-ho-ness lol

 

And heeey Kala :D We're elf-bros now xD

He definitely is chastened a bit in that scene...as he should have been! Solas was RUDE!.  Solas is really charming early on, though.

I'm not sure if anyone has replied to this but anyway...

 

Since she favours earthy colours for camo, you might want to stay away from too much greys and blacks since those would stand out in a forest setting (assuming she's a typical "Dalish in the woods", of course). Maybe some warm greens, browns, and yellows would do?

 

Like these: (spoilered for size)

I love you, thank you for this. <3

I admittedly used the greys only as a placeholder. I'm digging the greens on the top lot.

Thanks again. :)

I do love how he combines charming Lavellan with being completely blindsided by her.  He's so confident and sure of himself, and if you look at his banters with the other characters, he doesn't often admit that he's wrong.  And when he does, never so readily as with Lavellan.

 

Ugh, these feels.  Is it so much to ask for a happy ending for them?

I definitely think it's because Lavellan is respectful and courteous first, sinking into their shared language to apologize. He's always responsive to people to show respect for his opinions, and this early on he doesn't expect it from a Dalish elf he's had so many presumptions against. We definitely surprise him. x) I love it!

 

Yes, pleeease, Weekes, give us happy ending! *sets up shrine in Weekes honor*

Same here... I mean, I already knew that he was going to break up with my Lavellan, but it still hurt more than expected... 

 

I just finished the game last night and ugh, the feels are ruining me!

 

But remember: even if he broke up with Lavellan he still loves her. He can't even say he doesn't when she asks him to.

Fade-green pajamas covered in orb-chasing wolves and Solas drowning his sorrows in frilly cakes? I just.. This is amazing.

 

Also lots of hugs for the broken-hearted and blanket fort!

I will admit to liking one half of that trope.  My Lavellan still calls Solas "hahren" on occasion, mostly as a gesture of respect.  She actually calls a lot of characters by title and/or last name (Seeker, Commander, etc.), and it takes her until after Haven to break the habit of falling back on courtesy.  Besides, I like the irony of Solas being WAY older than what the word would usually signify.

Apologies, but I thought that "hahren" was reserved only for elders/superiors. So when I found lots of Solavellan fics with them calling each other hahren and da'len I was quite shocked because I thought it was inappropriate.  :huh:

Not necessarily superiors.  The DA wiki defines it as simply "elder," and says it's used as a term of respect by the Dalish.  It can also refer to the leader of a city elf alienage.  Briala calls Felassan "hahren" in Masked Empire, and in context I always saw it as more of a term of respect.  

 

Of course, the elven language in general is one of intent and interpretation as much as the actual meaning of the word, so it probably varies by context, and like a lot of things in Solas's romance, IMO it's up to personal preference.

Solas came pre-loaded with a lovely term of endearment in the form of "vhenan." Calling his lover "da'len" would probably raise a few eyebrows. At the very least, my Lavellan would not appreciate being called "little child" by the man she's taking to her bed. :P Perhaps if they were not lovers and she was quite young, it would work. If people are writing that in to their stuff because they somehow like the idea, I guess more power to them... but if they aren't aware what the terms mean or how they are used, that could be awkward.
