Yes, to me, he's saving you from a painful death by renegade Anchor to give you some peaceful few years to live as best a life as you can.
Yeah, because knowing your good friend/boyfriend/person you hate intends to end the world and is sending you home until then is just a great way to enter a relaxing retirement. 
Really. "I plan to destroy everything, but, no pressure! Have a few parties and enjoy the frilly cakes while you can!" 
HAIRY BODY MOD
There is a hairy body mod, witch works for human / elf males.

It's not my mod, I just inform you all. Don't know if it works with Solas and how and why and whatever. 
Have fun.
I don't know where I am going with this, but it's interesting that at the end of the main game we know more about Solas than Lavellan and in the dlc, Lavellan seems to know more than us. She put her knife down on Tevintar so she knows he's doing something there. It's also amusing that there's a city named Solas in Tevintar. I just hope that in the next game we won't get to interact with Solas only at the final battle or something. I think it's important that we meet with him throughout the game and that means more angsy romantic scenes. hehehehe
Yeah I took it as it's gonna kill her regardless (just my interpretation, others very possible). The mark.. like with cancer I didn't think it's necessarily as easy as 'excise it, all gone, definitely fine now'. I'm sure I'm influenced by the lens of my personal experience but it's hard not to imagine green tendrils permeating the rest of her body.
Shepard can live, so the comparison isn't quite apt.
HOWEVER I now remembered tweet that PW said it's gone for good and isn't a threat anymore WHICH MAKES ME SUPER HAPPY YASSS

This is exactly why I think he has a specific plan for Inky. Either as his nemesis, his redeemer (basically, the way to stop him or give this world a fighting chance) or perhaps his inheritor.
I took it that so long as the Inquisitor bore the mark, they would die eventually. But Solas takes the Anchor away, so the Inquisitor is in the clear?
I could have read it wrong, but I sincerely hope my girl isn't due to die even with losing her arm. I will flip. D: I don't want another Shepard.
I'm not sure...but taking the mark away implies she is now literally....unmarked. It's gone. So "forever marked" doesn't make sense to me, unless the meaning is a metaphor, which is possible. Maybe I'm just being too literal? Or is it meant to be ironic and trolling...like the romance achievement only popping up after breaking up.
Well, to be fair, the romance doesn't end there 
In fact, it doesn't even end in Trespasser.
(where are you going with this Bioware...? *eyes them suspiciously*)
The canticle describes an elf that freed his people from slavery and THEN joined Andraste to go after Tevinter. Have we seen any other lore that indicates elven slaves outside of Tevinter during that time?
I think an algamation might be that the old stories of Solas freeing the elves from the Evanuris might have been attributed to the elf that joined Andraste. Or there is another section of history with immense elven slaves we haven't heard about yet. And those elven slaves wanted to go back to their masters after they had been freed because it was easier.
I really like this theory. It fits in much more with how elven history has been told so far.
I'm a proponent of the theory that Mythal may have influenced Andraste - she 'nudged' history there much in the same way it was 'nudged' when she saved Alistair + the Warden's life. Apparently Andraste saw most of the chant's creation story in visions, which may be reflections of the veil being formed by Solas, or may be again, provided by Mythal. Mythal has shown that she's interested and involved - albeit, in a removed way - from the events of modern Thedas, and this depiction suits how we've seen her involvement so far. I find direct involvement a little more dubious - partially because of how messy Andraste's interpretation of real events is.
I would argue that Solas probably has very little to do with Shartan, simply because he does not value the lives of modern elves - what would motivate him to free the elven slaves when he sees them as shadows of what they once were? I also like the idea that significant elven heroes and villains exist outside the ancient pantheon

I think it's also like another poster said, removal of the arm has forever marked the Inquisitor. It's also likely something metaphorical. The Inquisitor is now in direct opposition of Solas whether Assquisitor, romanced, or friend. Forever marked as an adversary. There's no more anchor but the Inquisitor is forever marked by the events that transpired.

That's why I'm like, Oh Solas, obviously your subconscious wants me to stop you. It's funny, a lot of the time, people try and force individuals to act as their superegos personified, but in this case it's like Solas is giving the Inquisitor a chance to be the ego instead.

Solas cares, he just sometimes has an odd way of showing it.
He doesn't for a moment believe you'll just go hang out peacefully, at least.

Yeah. Really makes me wonder what his potential game plan is, then.
He's taken away the Anchor, but no mortal could bear it and live, so the Inquisitor only has a few more years left. It's like excising a tumor in one part of the body and buying time that way, but the cancer still metastasizes. She's free of the immediate threat (say a tumor pressing on her lung) but cancerous cells yet linger in her system and it'll come back again even worse than before. That's why she's forever marked.
^ not trying to offend anyone with the cancer metaphor, I'm talking from personal experience
Weekes tweeted that quissy is saved from the mark. Someone asked if they are only saved temporarily, and he said that they are actually saved.
I'm feeling so sorry for Solas tonight. It's so twisted that the nicer you are to him, the more he suffers. If you romance him, it's suffering to the nth degree. It's just... Maybe my canon PT should be an a##quizitor who has maxed out disapproval with Solas and punched him. For his own peace of mind. Let him think he's giving the gremlins exactly what they deserve.
It's probably just sleep deprivation. But still, the feels are getting to me.
Well to be honest, he kind of deserves it. The least he can do is "feel bad" about ending millions of people.
Yeah. Really makes me wonder what his potential game plan is, then.
I think his home base is in Tevintar and probably has a hidden castle in place named Solas. Then he's going to spend time gathering the resources to make a new orb and you have to deter him from gathering the resources.

This is likely to be the way we're able to reach him somehow, though.
Embrace the feels.

I don't recall him ever saying that Quizzy is free from Mark or whatever side effects it could have in the future - only that the Anchor is removed and they're safe for now (and that it's Solas who removed it and disintegrated the hand that as too far gone at this point, rather than making the Anchor dormant and having Quizzy cut the hand him/herself, which is what some think happened).

Hidden castle in the place named Solas?
... It's like a villain hiding in "The Villain City - Search Here, Hero!"

He already does, I wager. Not only the millions that died as an unforeseen consequence of the Veil, but the ones that may die to restore the old world. No matter which way he chooses he's not going to be happy with the burden of guilt. We could play him a tiny violin, but I'm not surprised he's a bit off his rocker under the weight of that.

I'm hopeful that we'll be able to.
I'm pretty sure he's redeemable at this point. I think there's already a lot of material pointing in that direction.
