I just realized I absolutely suck IRL. At everything. Major case of impostor syndrome tonight, only I'm right, and I want to cry.

Guys, I'd love some opinions in regards to a Solavellan fic centered after Trespasser with a Lavellan who's clan was killed, broke up the Inquisition, and is considering visiting Duke Antoine in Wycome on the way to Tevinter for a bit of revenge.

 

Despite how my girl's clan wasn't killed and she's kept the Inqusition, I'll be going with her playstyle of doing as little killing as possible; particularly one where she stopped Solas from killing the mages in his personal quest. I'm aiming to get that Fade-kiss 2.0 that we talked about a couple of hundred pages back a go, so I'm thinking about a Fade-dream confrontation where he stops her from killing him, but I don't know how I'm going to go about that yet.

 

Any tips? Any preference for a sort of blank slate-ish Lavellan for inserts, or would the set up I'm going for be too personalised? Also, I think don't know if this is an original idea or not, so has anyone heard of one similar? (I like writing fics but I don't upload, so I don't know how original my ideas are. xD)

 

Minor tumblr rant (very minor, just need it out of my system):

Spoiler

I can see why people get tetchy about tags now. All I do is follow Dragon Age and Solas blogs, not even that many, and I still get to see real life strangulation porn on my dashboard. Wonderful! I mean it was even tagged with Dragon Age even though I saw buggery all to do with DA in it!

Disclaimer: I don't care what anyone's fetish is, no judgement on my half, I just don't know why I'm seeing it on my dashboard. xD

[Illyria]

@Sunny - YES! I love the violin one, although I always saw Solas more of a pianist *obligatory-snicker*.

 

Edit: Also out of likes so take a heart .

 

 

Ooh yes! Although maybe Skyhold's mural served that purpose.

One of the Inquisitor (even a romanced Lavellan) on their own is a bit... creepy? xD

 

Maybe it could be of the two of them at Halamshiral dancing.  Even if you didn't take him/didn't accept the dance it could still have been a desire of his to dance with her.
 

[almasy87]

No idea if this has been posted before, but I found it and immediately thought of Lavellan...


It's called "Elven Bridal Gown" found it on facebook

I have a terrible weakness for the waltz, so this idea is an automatic win just for the mention, but that would be less creepy, yes.

Could someone with a twitter please tweet this idea to Weekes because I have a mighty need to see this in the game now.  It's sweet, romantic, not creepy and shows how much he dreams of still being with her.

 

(also I know Weekes supports the headcanon that Solas left her his jawbone necklace but can Lavellan please have that in DA4 like the Warden still has Morrigan's ring.  She doesn't need to wear it.  Just a scene where she takes it out to look at it or something!)

Solas playing the violin. (I love this! )

I really love this one. Makes my inner musician happy.

Me too, but that is only because I'm biased being a pianist (ha) myself.

I found a soundfile of Solas speaking almost only Elven on tumblr. When does he say ara harel?? That's like he's saying my deception, or the other things harel could mean (dread, fear, demon I think)..

I'm pretty sure that's a fact. A lot of people seem to be ignoring this bit or perhaps didn't pay much attention to the codices in the Vir Dirthara...

6B. Solas & Mythal, relationship, Plans Then & Now

Way behind here since my brain decided to shut down after wrestling with words for the fanfic, and I had to take a nap. I gotta respond to this now though because it's buggin me. I know I'm going to come off as argumentative, even though it's not my intent. I just think it is way too early to be passing off theory and opinion as fact when all of us are working with the same set of evidence. Evidence that can be looked at several different ways. To imply that people who disagree with the way you have interpreted it weren't paying attention is downright rude. Because of that, I'll present a counter.

Not for the Mythal relationship. I was on board with the guard dog role days after trespasser landed and posted as much under spoiler tags ages ago. So, that whole idea isn't new to me. I prefer it to any other explanation for their closeness.

But for the all elves were spirits thing. I just don't care for that idea at all. Not saying it can't be true, mind. I believe just about anything is possible at this point and I'm not about to deny anyone their theory when we're all playing the same game. To point, I'll be using the same things you posted to support my idea that not all elves were spirits instead. I'll use spoiler tags so it hopefully doesn't get too wall-like and anyways it's not exactly Solas related except that it hopefully adds some support to the idea that he doesn't have to have been a spirit himself.

Spoiler

Because the Powers that Be have already stated that everything Maker-y is going to be left ambiguous, I'm not going to use anything from the Chant that was posted. It'd be impossible to take a solid stance there. I mean, if you think about it, it's entirely possible that the "Maker" Andraste saw was actually Solas. That makes everything weird. So, starting with the stuff they may actually build on:
 

Here are some codices to explain my thoughts more fully.

Attentive Listeners:

Spoiler

Here I see a spirit and a couple of elves teaching a class. Because it's impossible to know if the stuff from the Chant is truth, metaphor or allegory, I think it's a bad idea to apply any of it to this scene. So, I'll just take it at face value: We have a spirit and two elves. If all elves were spirits, we'd have 3 spirits, two of which had bodies, teaching an amphitheatre full of spirits, and none of the creatures in this codex would learn a thing from each other. Instead I see it showing us that because the veil did not exist, spirits and elves mingled and learned from one another. Spirits helped the elves change the world around them. It was a time of enlightenment our poor mortal elves will never know.
 

Birds of Fancy:

Spoiler

What you see as the nature of elves, I see as a reinforcement of the nature of spirits. The nature that Solas has told us about several times. That they're curious about not-spirits. They want to interact with them and they reflect. I think this codex shows two curious spirits manifesting bodies - which was easier to do without the veil - to better explore and reflect what they saw. But that doesn't mean that all elven bodies were spirits.

After all, we have a modern thedas example of a spirit manifesting his own body walking around with us through most of the game. Cole. When he willed himself into form, he reflected the one he was most familiar with, and it wasn't elfy. Did you take him to the library? Did you remember how happy he was when he found out that he wasn't wrong? That he wasn't out of place? That at some point, all spirits could do what he did?

Alternatively, this codex entry could just be some poor ancient elf's idea of erotic friend-fiction. One must be careful in a library that records thoughts and memories, no?
 

Exile of the Forbidden Ones:

Spoiler

This may go on a tangent so I'll try to be brief.
Casting aside form & Familiarity with shape: Not evidence of spirits taking form. I see it as evidence of elves who had power to rival the Evanuris, and were supremely skilled in Shapeshifting Magic. Better at it than anyone. Maybe the Evanuris wanted to learn from them.

I do have thoughts on the bound bits and rest but it doesn't really apply to this argument except that I don't see them as suffering a spirit binding, but rather something more physical. Literally, kicked out of elf-land and put in chains. Then used for political gain/example.
 

The Deepest Fade:

Spoiler

You saw evidence that all elves were once spirits in this. I see exactly what it says it is. Instruction on how to find the untouched parts of the fade. It's telling the hopeful dreamer to take what others have learned to help them on their way. In regards to the bretheren of the air: This could be where the wording makes things weird, but I see it saying that the dreamer may try to find help from those spirits who have never manifested outside of the Fade. That those guys are the better pathfinders. But, because it's rare they ever have a mind to look, getting their help is something easier said than done.

So many words. Whew. But, there it is then. Now we just wait to see which one of us is going to be wrong. I sure hope it's you. Haha. But even if it's me, I guess I won't be too grumpy. It'll just take away a lot of the spirit to elf dynamic that I think could be fascinating. For me, it's more impressive that they had such companionship with their brethren of the air without having been air themselves.

In hindsight I might should have taken this big arse reply to the other thread. But, I like it here. The blanket fort is the best place in the whole Bio'verse.

He says that to Mihris, I think it's when she's being cheeky or when she wants the amulet of power? I think it's "you deceive them" or something of the sort.

It's to Mihris for a non-Dalish Inquisitor when she talks about why she's away from her clan.

Because your feet get dirty, the floor gets cold, feet stick to floors, shoes leave you with a good grip, any number of reasons

I don't even know how you work with shoes on. Our floors are clean in Finland because we do not walk around with dirty shoes XD The floors will be pretty clean as long as you clean them haha also you can just put socks on if floor gets cold. For me it rarely gets too cold and what I love also about not wearing shoes is that I can just have my feet on the chair with me and sit on the bed and lay on the bed and do all those things without having to take shoes off haha

Found this video from another thread and thought about sharing it with you. It is not really Solas related, but David Gaider is sharing little details about early concepts for characters like Vivienne, Dorian and Krem.

 

Spoiler

[Moondreamer01]

Considering that when we go into the future for the mage quest the veil is down, as confirmed by Solas, and no one seems to be having any problems physically (quissy,  companions, venatori, etc) I'm fairly sure that it would be the indirect repercussions of Solas's plan combined with the chaos of the tearing down of the veil that would kill mass amounts of people. 

 

When Solas said he wants to restore the "world of the elves" that sounded pretty world-dominationy to me. I'm worried he actually plans on destroying all other countries and peoples for the sake of "what was." Through this, mass amounts of people will die, though he must do it, since he was the one that destroyed his people, and he must bring them back himself, no matter the cost. Ugh the more I think about it the more disgusted I become with the whole situation. uuuggghhh 

 

;-;

I think this can also be taken in a less literal way. What is the "world of the elves" in its most basic form? It's a world where the veil doesn't exist, a world where magic is like breathing and spirits are free to roam and mingle. Perhaps it's not so much a civilization he wants to bring back (one he battled against once upon a time, let's not forget) so much as an environment where his People can thrive the way they used to, but without the taint of things like the Evanuris thinking themselves gods and slavery.

[midnight tea]

IIRC any supportive comment made when he asks can be taken as encouragement for him to carry on with his plans. I always choose the "put things back the way things were", and he questions you about it, where you follow with "Yes, well, not exactly-" but he interrupts saying he knew what you meant and thanks you.

 

With Trespasser, I'm taking it that all Inquisitors are supposed to go forward feeling at least partially responsible for Solas and what's he's doing, even if it's just with that comment alone.

 

Er... I took it as entirely opposite. "Moving things forward" is to well... move forwards and try to make THIS world better (even Solas's comment about 'you offer hope that someday things will get better!' is sort of confirming that), while "restoring what was" is for... well.. restoring the past, which is what he's actively trying to do in Trespasser (Solas even thanks people for the reminder).

 

 

 

Anyway - different thing now: remember how we all talked about how Inquisition took less then a year, since it started in 9:41 and ended in 9:42?

 

Well... we got the year, but never really got the precise date of the Conclave or Cory defeat, did we?

 

Then the campaign could take anything from 2-3 months (if Conclave was at the end of '41 and Cory was defeated at the beginning of '42) to almost 2 years (if the Conclave was at the start of '41 and Cory was defeated at the end of '42).

 

So there's a lot of wiggle room here: I take it that I can headcanon that, say, 'non-completionist' campaign can take about 6-8 months of in-story time and 'completionist' ones take anywhere from 15 to 22 months

So......I think I may have found a statue of June. @.@

 

Playing my Mahannon quizy I went to the location of the first elvhen artifact without Solas just to look around. Anyway, I was running around with the Veilfire torch and I have never seen this rune before. I mus thave missed it everytime I have been here.

 

The rune gives a weapon enchantment. And the statue behind it is of someone holding a ram's head.

 

And on the DragonAge wiki, June's page shows a ram head skull thingy is suppose to represent him. And the rune is a weapon enchant. Probably right up June's alley.

 

I'm just curious cause I think I've seen this statue in other palces. Like that Fade place you go see Flemythal and Kieran.

 

Thoughts?

 

Here is a screenshot of what I'm talking about.

And then there's This statue in there.

Like...if this was a June shrine....was June depressed? wtf?!?!

 

AShdna ce I just realized that the ram head statue is at the entrance also....with the Grey Warden flag and some of flag above it.

And June's mosaic has what looks kind of like the joining chalice in front of him.

 

Did June create the Joining to fight the Blight?!?!??!

I'm fairly sure that the statue of the guy covering his face with his hands and with the sword across his lap is Maferath, Andraste's husband.  There are other statues that look like that which are said to be Maferath, including one in the Hinterlands where there's a location marker - it's the same place you put the Felandaris for a quest.

 

Edit:  The quest I'm talking about is this one:  http://dragonage.wik...er_from_a_Lover

The quest itself says to place the Felandaris where the statue of a lady stands but the landmark you find there calls the statue Maferath Repentant.

[Moondreamer01]

Good morning thread. Can I just say how much I love coffee. Coffee is life! (Me, a little wired? Why do you ask. I'm only on my third cup of coffee *twitch*)

 

Today, in lore musings, I present to you, WTF Qunari!

 

Spoilered for lenght and not really being Solas-related.

 

Spoiler

 

Now, there's been plenty of speculation as to the origins of the Qunari already, so it's possible I won't be adding much to it, but something about them bother me. Some brought forth the theory that they were created by Ghilan'nain. possibly, but then, why is it that Corypheus would know enough about them to call out to an Adaar Inquisitor "The Qunari are not a race, they're a mistake". As far as we know, Corypheus has no special knowledge of old elvhenan. What he knows is what his people knew at the time he was alive. He's not a telepath and he's not omniscient. After all, he doesn't recognize Solas for even an ancient elvhen, much less the Dread Wolf.

 

Now, going back to the wiki article on the Qunari, I saw this : The Kossith, ancestors to the Qunari before the Qun was a thing were for the first time seen in Thedas when they had a small enclave in the Korcari Wild around -410 Ancient (and were not seen again for a thousand years after that). According to the chant, the Magister would have entered the Black City in -395 Ancient, which is also the year the first Blight started. Accordingly, Corypheus woul have been alive in -410 Ancient, but how would he know of one small enclave so far south of Tevinter and in the Wilds? I admit, it's not completely impossible he would know, but would he truly know enough about them to then call Adaar "a mistake"?

 

Here comes my theory (fun!). What if the Qunari (or Kossith as they were originally called) are an even younger race than we've been led to believe? If not the old elvhen, who could have created a race? Well, the Tevinter might have had had both the knowledge and the power. Around -410 Ancient, it's far from impossible that the 7 magisters, priests of the Old god, had already started planning how to enter the Fade. Now, elves make the best sacrifices, but what it they'd tried to come up with something even better, by... let's say, combining elvish blood to dragon blood, which we already know is quite potent. But, the result didn't please them for some reason. The new race was powerful, hard to control and didn't actually make for better sacrifice. Perhaps some of them even escaped their captors (that enclave in the Korcari wild). Perhaps some even manage to flee further, across the sea, or they were banished there when they became too hard to control (although I lean toward fleeing since I don't see why the magisters wouldn't simply kill their mistakes instead of banishing them). That would explain why Corypheus know so much about a race he would never have met before (and might never have heard about before, even if he somehow got it mentioned to him that Kossith had appeared in the Korcari wilds. Why make the link between those and the current Qunari, unless he somehow knows more?)

 

This would also explains the Qunari's fear and distrust of mages, even if most don't remember the reasons anymore. Having been created specifically to be blood sacrifices would make you wary of magic, that's for sure.

 

Now, if the Kossith/Qunari are a tevene "invention" I'm left with the question : Who are the scaled ones mentionned in the Deep Roads? And who are the dragonny-looking creatures depicted in elvhen murals? Could they be the same. Another race we know nothing about. Or perhaps extinct. Or perhaps I'm overthinking Corypheus' comment.

 

[Cee]

I definitely agree we're supposed to feel partly responsible. I know I did.

 

Yes. And this was an element I felt way before Trespasser. At the time, it felt like an optimistic sort of moment, then he's so happy and takes you out, then the breakup and since I was spoiled on him being Fen'Harel right before the temple, I started getting the massive feels over the way that conversation has multiple meanings. It was definitely amplified in Trespasser.

 

I need to use this in the fic I'm writing. I've already had her think back to a past conversation in the immediate afterward of talking to Solas.

[Elessara]

I'm sick atm so I'm going to be rambling.  The right side of my face feels like it's in a vice.  Sinuses, why do you hate me?

 

Anyway, you know which location in Trespasser I liked the most?  The island.  It was very pretty and I liked popping around to the different towers and seeing the area from different view points.  I know the chances of going back there are pretty close to nil but it would be cool.  Also, as a retreat for fleeing slaves, it was a little small unless it was only one of many retreats, although now that I think about it, Solas probably had multiple places similar to that.  I mean, given what he says to Sera about keeping forces divided and such.

 

Also, I really kind of hate how you get a foot into water and suddenly sink like a stone.  It's especially bad on that island, I swear you dip a toe into the water and it's all "UGH!" and reappearing with low health on dry land.  I also accidentally killed a halla (or two or three) when fighting the Qunari there.  And this turned into an episode of "Confessions of a Bad Dalish".  On the next episode find out the secret identity of Lavellan's elven apostate lover, it'll shock you!

Also, I really kind of hate how you get a foot into water and suddenly sink like a stone.  It's especially bad on that island, I swear you dip a toe into the water and it's all "UGH!" and reappearing with low health on dry land.  I also accidentally killed a halla (or two or three) when fighting the Qunari there.  And this turned into an episode of "Confessions of a Bad Dalish".  On the next episode find out the secret identity of Lavellan's elven apostate lover, it'll shock you!

 

 

I remember a while ago a post, I think on the DA subreddit, something like DAI as tabloid headlines, and I wrote something similar to your last line there. Which people enjoyed.

 

I loved that island, the peace of it, the really lovely scenery. I've seen some screens of the Crossroads as seen by non-elven Inquisitors and it's kind of barren and not as colorful but only of an area or two. Of course I don't have any non-Lavellans yet, so I can't check myself.

 

Sinus stuff is so awful. I hope you feel better. I'm  waiting for my antihistamine to kick in because I've had a horrible morning battle with allergies and losing, so I gave in and took something.
