This makes me wonder: it's a total mystery to me what death means to Solas, apart from the failure to save his people. What is death to an immortal like him? He never really addresses that. If he gives up on his mission or something prevents him from completing it, what would it mean to die rather than live?
On the one hand, there's his fear of dying alone. On the other hand, he was about to do just that in future Redcliffe and seemed pretty resigned to it. So I don't know if death would represent relief or horror to him, and I have the feeling that it might be both at the same time.
I think he means more a metaphorical death, or one that means more than just loss of his physical body. "Dying alone" may also mean a lot of things - and from the looks of it, the loss of self is probably the most terrifying thing for him. So, if he truly turns into Dread Wolf, a side of him that is terrible and ruthless and maybe too twisted by pain and duty to resemble who he was, then "Solas" will indeed die... As in, no one will remember who he was. Solas will be dead to the world, forgotten by everyone, or remembered only as a terrible monster.
