He is glorious! You guys are making me want the Sims again...
The way it's written definitely made it sound as though his vallaslin literally changed, though I admit it could just be poorly phrased.
I think Weekes drops the phrase about twisting vallaslin also in the part where Mihris is possessed, but I'd have to look at it again.
Spoiler
This is especially hilarious after reading some fanfics with particular content about Solas/Lavellan "parties" in the fade. ![]()

It's somewhere around there, because I remember reading it today, and that was within the part I read today. I couldn't find it flipping through earlier, but if you can't, I can search in a less lazy fashion.
Haha, fair enough. So my assumption was that he was some kind of vassal or servant to Fen'harel? But there's so many things I have questions about, including why his vallaslin seems to shift, and how long he's actually been walking the earth. And I'm making the assumption that his 'master' was Fen'harel, which could be wildly incorrect, though he does seem to tell a lot of stories about our dear wolf-man.
Would Fen'harel then have a vallaslin? Could it theoretically no longer be in use, given what so many see as a betrayal of the Gods?
The best theory, IMO, is that Felassan is some sort of servant to one of the trapped gods. He is kind of a Fen'Harel fanboy but the stories he tells are of the myth-y, shrouded, Dread Wolf cold trickster sort that the Dalish repeat. If he were working FOR Fen'Harel, who as we can come to see, isn't exactly likely to be spreading/wanting the Dalish version of him, how his attempts to communicate with them have made him weary, etc. Briala knows almost nothing about the Dalish, so Felassan could've told her almost anything. Her people remain elves but she's primarily, even by the end, thinking about city elves and elves within the bounds of Orlais.
Felassan is avoiding sleep through the book because he knows that whoever his master is will catch him in the Fade. The book mainly takes place soon before the game (though Felassan and Briala have known one another for about 15 or so years, so there has been a possibly long game going on to get her to the network. But if you're a trapped immortal god, you've got time to burn.
While we have no idea when Fen'Harel awakened, again, if it were him, why would he want to spread those overblown tales of himself from the Fade while asleep 15 years ago? And it's possible that by the end of the book, he might already have awakened and taken up his identity of Solas and begun wandering. Felassan, I don't think, would've been quite that fanboy of whoever he clearly feared/was tied to. The Fen'Harel stories entertained him.
So it does seem more likely to be some other god, someone trapped in the Fade who needs the passphrase to get out. Also, the passphrase is Fen'Harel's blessing.....I don't think Fen'Harel is that much of an egoist. Could be but his whole thing about divinity, etc.
Ultimately, Felassan is a great character, but also a pawn. I wonder when we'll begin to learn more.
off topic: That moment when you explain the difference between irony and coincidence to someone and you're afraid that you will no longer be invited to their parties.
On topic: I found this gif of GDL
....Yeah..

I finally finished Masked Empire. Does anyone have any concise theories they can link me to on the Felassan/Fen'harel connection?
I almost got the impression that we were supposed to assume Fen'Harel killed him so that, at some point, we got bonus angst thinking Solas had done so and then the big reveal showed he was working for Andruil or Falon'Din or even Dirthamin the whole time.
I have equated in some head-canon part of me Dirthamin with secrets with undercover with some sort of glamour that makes Felassan appear to have had different vallaslin than he actually did. Couple that with the fact that I can't see Solas wiping him out in a fit of pique, given that he seems like a likeable guy and one who's worked with whoever killed him for years at least and I have apparently decided the Wonder Twins are abroad in the Fade, at least in some manner...coated in glitter and blood by this point.
Edited for grammar.
I did a thing!
A little music tribute to Solas
I still think this song is the most fitting.
Everytime I listened to the lyrics I had to think about that bastard egghead.
I am just a worthless liar.
I am just an imbecile.
I will only complicate you.
Trust in me and fall as well.
I will find a center in you.
I will chew it up and leave

I assumed we were meant to assume it was Fen'harel in the Fade, as well. The line, "reminds me of" (you? common assumption) especially, though all interpretations raise more questions than answers at this point, and a "surprise except not really!" is just as likely as the other. I did not interpret any events as necessarily due only to a fit of pique, though.
(hehe. too many assumes.)

That line can also end with.... "Fen'Harel". At least Fen'Harel as Felassan knows of him in the tales.
Fit of pique may have been an overstatement, but I don't see Solas killing someone (or making him Tranquil, as has been posited since he was in the Fade) because he was defied. Maybe I just don't want to see him that way but I just don't see him doing that before having a conversation with the man about why he chose to let Briala leave without getting the pass phrase.
Also, if Solas thought it was important to his plans would he have dropped it and not argued during Wicked Eyes and Wicked Hearts to keep her alive? That scene just doesn't fit with my experience of him in the game. That's not to say he wouldn't kill someone for failing him, just that he...I don't know, wouldn't do it in the middle of a sentence? I know that was done for dramatic effect but in rereading it after playing Inquisition it just didn't read as Solas to me.
headcanon all ancient elves have an ass fixation, yes/no?
From whence did this booty-ous duo come? For the record, that's a yes.

Right. I was only giving one of the larger reasons for the possible interpretation, whether it was meant to be assumed to then be disproved, or to add angst about the underside of the character of someone many come to like and respect. My emphasis was mostly on the "meant to assume," as in my opinion is still that this is what was meant to be implied, though not necessarily what is true. I do not have an opinion on what actually happened at this time ![]()

Dirthamen's temple, I think, though hanging around the Emerald Graves, too.
I was merely stating the other big theory as to that line. Nobody knows what was intended at this point, but those two things are the top theories at the moment. I think Fen'Harel makes sense, given the rest I mentioned above though.
Hmm...after doing that Mary Sue test..my Lavellan isn't too bad. That's good. I would like to write her story one of these days.
Edit: Since my post is on the top..here's a pic I just found

Now I've built up this whole thing where Dirthamin recruited Felassan (a Fen'Harel fanboy easily lured with the idea of sneaky undercover work) with an eye to using Briala. The city elves wouldn't trust a strange, tattooed elf but he could teach her to fight, teach her spy craft (all those stashes!), and help her foment unrest under the guise of encouraging her to help those in the Alienages. I'm itching to put her on the throne (at least as Gaspard's puppet master) because I want wicked ol' Dirthy to come out of the shadows with a Faustian bargain.
On-topic, I have a hard time picturing Solas as sneaky or tricky. He's obviously good at keeping secrets but whatever tricks he tries to pull seem to have backfired pretty thoroughly on him as far as Inquisition goes. Perhaps it's the weakness of his long sleep that has him off his game?
For everyone's hell spiral needs- Have you considered 'Samson' by Regina Spektor?

Yep. It has been one of my hellspiral songs before.
Fidelity is another good one from the same album.
Side note: with all of the book talk and Fiona talk and other reasons, I feel like I want to finally buy and read Asunder, but I have other books I already own kind of staring at me, unloved as of yet. Decisions.
Do eeeeeeet! It's worth it for Shale alone, if not for Cole's back story.
Well, I bought it. I didn't really need much convincing. Cole is a big part of why, plus some of the other background. I mean, we're obviously not getting more DLC for a while yet.
