Is this a typo on Fen'Harel from the DA Wiki? I don't have my book on me, but apparently this was in The Masked Empire pg 319:
SpoilerAndruil
's Fen'harel?
Loves? Maybe.
It certainly suggests she had a sexual interest in him, at the time of the story at least.
I'm replaying my mage at the moment - what builds do people use which sync well with Solas? I played Knight Enchanter with lots of fire spells last time, which suited by Lavellan and meant she had a totally different skill set from Solas, who I usually specialise in winter/spirit/rift mage. I want to play something different without completely erasing the need for him in my party 
Ooooookay. Sorry to go off topic, but since some of you asked for a place to bookmark for future pages of the comic I've been playing with, I've made a tumblr!
I decided to name it Lothlenan. If anyone is interested in the language of the elves or has knowledge of it, feel free to read and dissect my logic in the first post, come back here and tell me if I'm wrong or right in how I interpreted it. Because honestly, I haven't seen anyone comment on the word's meanings, or the fact that hey, we have a word for "Forgotten"!!!! I had to make my own assumptions. Also while I didn't mention it, it goes a little dark if one thinks it actually translates to something like 'place of forgotten children' which...could equate something to the Forgotten Ones.
I will throw the stuff I've done up there later, I'll keep it updated with more as they come. All future dragon agey art will be posted there.
You used the Fen'Harlarious thing!

I went for Rift Mage. For RP reasons it made sense due to her mark and her close relationship with Solas meant I can headcanon all sorts of training sessions. For pratical reasons it's because if there's post game DLC I'm going to want a Rift Mage on the team. I found two Rift Mages worked well. I had Solas on support and control with Lavellan on control and DPS.

This is also what I'm doing with my mage. If I can only stop running in toward my enemies, that would be great. (When you're a melee rogue 90% of the time....).

I really miss the tactics of DAO and DA2.
I once had a blood mage Morrigan heal herself by draining Alistair; and Merrill was set up so that when she dropped to less than 10% health she'd deactivate blood magic, drink a potion and reactivate blood magic. I could never get something as intelligent as that in DAI.
EDIT: I thought you said you couldn't stop Solas from running towards your foes. I'm still asleep.

On Normal I found two Rift Mages didn't work well so I went with KE with lots of passives and the cheap mana elemental spells. Solas is Rift/Spirit with some Storm to round him out.
Necromancer might work well with Rift but I've personally never tried it.
I got bored..so I made some doll art stuff.

Why did they get rid of them? I hate the tactical camera and without the tactics I feel like I am micro-managing my party during any boss fight as the AI behavior just don't cut it, especially for a rouge. I spent all DA2 with Anders, a FemHawke mage, Fenris, and Varric and now it's much harder to run a party setup like that through this game.
Well if the theory that Solas is Shartan the elf that helped to lead Andraste bring Thedas into monotheism. Solas's game could be to adsorb the essence of the deities of Thedas to become the long awaited Maker, and sealing the weakened deities in mirrors. If this was the plan, it would explain why Flemeth wanted the old god's soul, and then turned in both her essence and the old god's. She was playing collector/co-conspirator taking the old god's power, while having Morrigan seal the soul in her son.The question is with the Anchor gone how will his plan play out? The Breach could have been Solas's way of bring the deities of Thedas out of hiding, but he lost his trump card. He can take their power by force, but what if one of these deities is to strong to seal without the Anchor. If another deity's soul was to mix with Solas and corrupt him it could be worse than any blight.
That is a very interesting thought. Especially when you think about how Solas acts when you enter the Fade physically with him. Of everything that's in front of him, the thing that he's all like "LOOK! There it is!" Is the Black City. Solas has been walking the Fade in dreams for a pretty long time....I mean, this is not the first time he has seen it. I think he actually says "close enough to touch" or something like that.
I don't know if Solas wants to become the Maker, but I do think it's a very real possibility he wants to get into the Black City.
On another note of being in the fade physically, I had a thought. When you run around there are broken eluvians all over the place. And, since there was a giant crazy Nightmare demon nearby...doesn't this mean that nearby there was some individual that had some sort of fear or anxiety over broken eluvians? I know that could have just very well been some reflection there regarding Solas, but couldn't it also have been some reflection of nearby pantheon members......in the Black City.? I mean, they would probably love nothing more than to see a working eluvian....

Tell me about it. I wanted to set Solas to Fade Step the eff away from enemies if they surrounded him, but nope. No tactical settings to speak of. I was a bit more than disappointed, because once I set everyone's tactics in DA2 I never had to bother with anyone in a fight. Everyone did what they were supposed to, when they were supposed to, and they actually knew to fall back and get away if surrounded - or better yet, assist a surrounded team mate. That we can't do the same here has been one of my bigger disappointments with the game. 
Art!
Not Solas:

Eluvians can lead into the Fade (that's how Kieran meets up with Flemeth). I assume the broken ones are just that.
Ugh, I think pretty much everything about the gameplay in DA:I is a step down... I try not to focus on it - I've always played Dragon Age for its story and characters, rather than game play, but the fact that combat in Origins is so fun and can be challenging brings out the tactician does add to it a bunch. Can't say the same for Inquisition. Can't wait until someone brings out an enhanced tactics mod :\
I think I might go rift mage, mainly because I like firestorm

I've only really found combat in DAO fun if I'm a mage (I don't care if it's OP, Storm of the Century is amazing).
Despite being over the top and just plain goofy I really loved DA2's combat.

You think someone will be able to add an advanced tactics mod? Because that would be awesome. Not that I am adding mods to my game right now, as much as I love them and what the can add to the overall experience of the game. But since the modding is so new and a vastly different install from the previous games, I am kinda waiting it out till my hubs and I upgrade our main computer to handle games like DA:I on Ultra settings w/mods.
Someone combined DAI with Neko Atsume:

The little Solaskitty. hehe 
An interesting post on Solas' first personal quest:
http://corseque.tumb...st/120094167307
That's also the first time I've seen 'ma harel, da'len' translated as 'you lie, little child.'
(it also sums up why I really dislike the use of 'da'len' in romance fanfics - Solas generally only uses when he's being super condsending. Also, it infantilizes Lavellan when he uses it.)

I've seen that translation before for this quest, and I generally agree. He's calling her on her BS, basically. But I do love the rest of that post. It's quite true and even the delivery goes with that.
And yes, same with regards to da'len in fanfics.
I wouldn't say 'love'. I think it's pretty far from love.
Loves? Maybe.

No, it's not a typo and yes, that was in The Masked Empire.
And no, that doesn't necessarily mean that Andruil loves Fen'Harel.
I wasn't implying love! I should have worded it differently.
I definitely wouldn't ship them.

The generally accepted translation I'd heard before that was 'fear me, small child'.
And the 'da'len' thing is almost ruining Message Sent for me.

Spoiler
Message Sent was kind of rescued by having her not be super young, but now....yeah, that was just....I hope it does not continue going there.
